Amon-Ra for Bijan?

[Huggie711]

10 Team SF - Full PPR - Start QB/2 RB/2 WR/TE/3 FLEX/1 SF

Give: Amon-Ra St. Brown

Receive: Bijan Robinson

Current Roster
QB: Stroud, Lawrence, Howell
RB: Chubba, Gibson, Dowdle, Mitchell
WR: Lamb, Amon-Ra, London, Dell, Addison
TE: Shultz, Freiermuth
2024 Picks: 1.02, 1.04, 1.06, 2.04, 2.06, 3.04

Was rebuilding but want to move into contending - RB is a massive hole for me. Likely targeting Marvin Harrison Jr. at 1.02 and after that I'll be flexible.

Does Amon-Ra for Bijan help my balance or should I hold?

[tstafford]

Not for me. With the ability to start 5WR, I'm holding ARSB. I'd rather do any/all of the following:
Use 2.04/2.06 on rookie RB
Deal 2.04 and/or 2.06 for a vet RB
Deal Addison for a vet RB

I’d take Bijan with it being start 2 Rb but it’s very close and I can definitely see tstaffords view and keeping ARSB is the safe play for sure but I think Bijan can be game changing this year

Realistically you are only ever going to start 4 WRs (even a low end QB2 is better than a WR5). I think it's a fair trade. I usually make sure every other position is locked in before worrying about RB, but if you feel you are there, this is a good way to land the RB1. You'll still need to buy a cheaper vet or two to contend.

But that's not the starting requirements - it's 2WR, 3Flex and a SF

My bad, misread the way it's typed as 3WR and a single FL. If it's 2 and 3 and I agree, rather have that 5th WR than an RB.

Yeah. My SF league has the same starting requirements. It changes things. Makes QB2 less important and TE very unimportant.

[Huggie711]

Thanks for the feedback all - being full PPR and having the ability to start 5 WR's is definitely appealing as someone touched on. I have a lot of 2nd/3rd draft capital this year that maybe could be used to either draft rookie RB's or trade for vets.

I floated it to the Bijan owner straight up - he responded that he thinks it is fair but wants to hold onto Bijan. I'm not super interested in adding anything on top at the moment so likely won't have this trade happen.

I wouldnt ever trade a top 5 Dynasty WR for any RB. Its just too risky of a move for me.

[moishetreats]

I think it is fair if you're looking at around a 2-year window. Long-term, I'd rather have ARSB. Since you're not realistically competing right away (sorry), I'm holding ARSB pretty easily here.

This is how I feel too.

Full PPR I want ARSB here, I'd lean Bijan in Half PPR.
If you get MHJ at 1.02, I'd consider offering 1.04 for Bijan

[Black Adam]

Rather have Bijan but that is a very bad trade for you (if the owner would even make it). St. Brown is worth more.

If you get MHJ at 1.02, I'd consider offering 1.04 for Bijan

Not a bad idea, but the 1.04 is worth much less than BR.

I don't think so, not in SF leagues.
Bijan might be worth a little more, but we all knew during the 2023 rookie draft, that Caleb and MHJ would be worth more than Bijan coming out. Bijan is slightly limited because he plays the RB position, the most volatile and shortest shelf life position in dynasty.

I mean in SF, you might have to throw a mid 2nd at most on top of 1.04 for Bijan.
Personally, I would not even do it, as I do not like to invest much capital in the RB position.
I sold 2 of my 3 Bijan shares before the 2023 season started.
I prefer to spend my capital on the QB/WR positions, and fill my RB slots with less expensive players.

But everyone is different. Maybe you value Bijan much more highly than I do.

My guess is more times than not the 1.04 isn't netting Bijan. But you never know.
