Should I trade for Hopkins?

Postby FantasyFoosball » Tue Dec 19, 2023 7:50 pm

12 team SF, currently in semis and finished first overall.

I have a chance to get Hopkins for pretty cheap, any reason why I shouldn’t go after him?

Would probably start him over Schultz I’m thinking.

Starters are:

QB: Mahomes
SF: Allen

2022: Champions!!!
.5 PPR/$200 budget
1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 WR/TE, 1 K, 2 DL, 2 LB, 2 DB, 3 DL/LB/DB

QB - Mahomes
RB - CMC, White, Sanders, Herbert, Foreman, McKinnon
WR - Diggs, Ridley, Godwin, KJ Osborn, Woods, Claypool, Campbell
TE - Kittle, Goedert, Gesicki
K - Bass

Depends on cost. What is the cost?

Same question. What's the cost. But ideally yes.

I'd be starting Hopkins over Cooks, Schultz and Ridley this week. Although Ridley is in the same zone.

He wants Zay Jones, a 2024 3rd and a 2025 3rd.

I don't see any downside in adding DHop for this price.

The deal seems fine based on the price. Hopkins has a higher floor and ceiling than Jones the rest of the season.
