Benjamin+/Alshon

Postby BuckeyeNation » Mon May 18, 2015 4:43 am

I'm defending league champ and serious contender. 12 team PPR. Was looking to acquire another stud WR, but so far have had no luck with the elite tier (Already own Julio/Dez, so there were less options to begin with).

I got an offer from the Alshon owner, but to me it was a bit too much and I passed. Thoughts?

Give: Benjamin/2016 1st/2017 1st
Get: Alshon

I don't have Alshon in my top tier of WRs, so I'm hesitant to sell off 2 years of 1sts to upgrade Benjamin into him.

Yeah, that'd be too much. benjamin and a 2016 1st for alshon might be about right. Can counter with something lower and try to get to that point as a max.

That's exactly where I was. Actually offered him Benjamin/2016 1st for Alshon a few weeks ago. I guess you could say this was kind of his delayed counter offer. He says since my team is strong and my picks are likely late, he's kind of stuck on needing both 1sts. I told him I could only give one, or I'd need another piece of some kind in return if I was giving both 1sts.

Might offer Benjamin and both 1sts to the DT/OBJ/Brown owners and see if I get any interest (already approached AJG owner). I'm not a big Benjamin fan so I'd like to flip him for a higher tiered WR, but at the same time I don't want to give him away.

Would getting someone like John Brown or Matt Jones in return with Alshon make you interested?

If you have the room for both and he is willing to give them, I think that is something I would do

It would be an either/or thing. I wouldn't get Alshon/Brown/Jones, it would be Alshon/Brown or Jones.
