Aiyuk/Taylor swap

[JoeJoe88]

So I’ve been offered Jonathan Taylor for my Brandon Aiyuk. Phenomenal young team, I just won the championship last year in the first year emerging from a rebuild. It’s a 10 Man, Start 11, 2QB PPR league, 1.5 TE premium.

This is my current starting lineup:

Stroud
Purdy
Bijan
Gibbs
Kyren
R. White
Aiyuk
Tee
Nico
DK
Pitts

Also have Jordan Addison and Zay Flowers at WR.

Do I make this swap? My fear is that it’d basically be a lateral move and then I’m just swapping a WR for a RB that’s essentially the same age and I’m taking on more injury risk. If JT stays healthy, however, I think he has a higher ceiling than Aiyuk. Is a WR room of Tee, Nico, DK, Flowers and Addison good enough when I have the studs that I do at RB? Rolling out Bijan, Gibbs, and JT every week would just be filthy.

I may can get him to sweeten it a little with something like a 3rd, but he’s not going to do much more than that

Your RB room needs Taylor less than your WR room needs Aiyuk. Pass

Of the 11 what are the starting requirements? If this is 2 rb 3 wr 3 flex it’s aiyuk for me as I’d just load up on WRs. But, in a 10 teamer if you have to start 3rb I’d rank JT over aiyuk, so I’d want JT value wise. On your team though you certainly don’t need rb, so it would depend how your league values the positions.

Mandatory start 2 rbs every week, can start up to 6. Same for WR.

Taylor > Aiyuk.

It might hurt your roster construction now, but I don't worry about that in April. If the two players were exactly equal, then I'd lean toward the position of need. But I'd rather have Taylor than Aiyuk overall, so I don't worry about build at this point.
