Help with a Trade I was Offered for Blackmon

[frcoonhounds 0]

I play in a 12 Team PPR and I'm currently 1-5

 

QB:Newton, Cutler

RB:D.Martin, Spiller, E.Lacy, Ogbonnaya

WR:DeSean Jackson, V Jax, Blackmon, Amendola, DeAndre Hopkins, Nate Washington

TE:Cameron

 

The other team has proposed a trade where I receive Brees and he gets Blackmon and Cutler.

Blackmon has been a stud so far and Cutler has been solid while Cam spends every week on the points roller coaster.

 

Obviously if I get Brees I can shop Newton around. My biggest issue is actually trading Blackmon because he is currently my flex play, and my top 2 picks Martin and Spiller have been busts considering their draft position. Blackmon can set the pace even off of just yards and receptions, especially with Shorts out at the moment.

 

Do I sell high on Blackmon, or are these 2 first games legit?

 

Appreciate any insight. Thank you

Unless you know for sure who you can trade Newton for and what you can get for him, I wouldn't do the deal. Your WR corps looks really good with Blackmon in it, it will look less impressive without.

 

Looks like your biggest need is at RB1, where Doug Martin and Spiller are underperforming. If you can swing a deal with another trade partner to unload Cam for a solid RB1, then this trade would make more sense.
