This is the place for team advice - should I make this trade, should I draft that player, etc.

Cobb/Benjamin

Postby Hambone » Tue Apr 14, 2015 8:43 am

12 team PPR. I got this offer:

I give Cobb
I get Benjamin, 2016 1st (most definitely a playoff team)

It was an instant reject for me. A future later 1st is not enough to bridge that gap. Here are key players on his team:

J.Hill, Hyde, Ingram
Adams, Evans, Dez
Ebron, Gronk

It's 1.5 for TEs. What else would you need with Benjamin/late 1st to deal Cobb? Or is that fair and I'm undervaluing Benjamin?

Yeah it's not enough for me either. If you could get Ebron added, I would think about it with 1.5 PPR for TE. Or Hyde added if you take out the 1st.

Benjamin is suspect and has one year of highly inefficient production on his resume. Cobb is a solid WR1 who has the best QB in the game throwing to him. I think Madadamus got the valuation right, but would prefer the first and Ebron to just Hyde.

I think in 1.5PPR for TE's Ebron is pretty close to Hyde for me. They have both done next to nothing with the potential for growth as soon as this year.
I own Benjamin and while I understand wanting more than a late 1st I think a mid-1st is pretty close to the max I would give to get that upgrade. People are down on him but realistically valuing him below a mid-WR2 is just inserting bias that aren't really fantasy relevant.

I agree not selling Cobb cheap though so if you don't like Benjamin target a different player. You could try adding Adams/Ebron or Hyde/1st and counter with that see what he comes back with

If I was trading for Cobb I wouldn't give up any more than that, but if I owned Cobb I would want more. If you don't see a trade here don't force it. You should check in about getting Hill, Hyde, or Davante Adams and see what he thinks

Yeah, I'm not even sure I like Benjamin enough to make a swap. Unless it was an overpay. Not high on Ebron ( have Graham at TE). Rest of my roster:

Charles, L.Miller, Spiller
Julio, Jordy, Cobb, Fitz, ARob
Graham, Donnell
1.09
