ChargersSB 0 Posted October 13, 2017 I was offered Keenan Allen for Deandre Hopkins, but declined. They then asked who I wanted. We each have the following. I normally don't do trades as I am not good at them. My Team: J. Winston, M. Mariota L. Fitzgerald, D. Hopkins, D. Thomas, A. Cooper, Mike Williams D. Murray, M. Ingram, C. Thompson, W. Gallman, T. Montgomery, H. Henry There Team: C. Newton, K. Allen, M. Thomas, A. Thielen, K. Benjamin L. Bell, K. Hunt, C. Anderson, A. Abdullah, B. Powell, D. Mcfadden, A. Morris. E. Elliott Z. Ertz Should I propose a different trade or not trade at all? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottsind 61 Posted October 13, 2017 The only way i see this helping you out is if you do a 2 for 2. See how bad he wants Hopkins. Upgrade your running backs so you can flex 1. Give: Hopkins and TY Montgomery Receive: Keenan Allen and CJ Anderson It is a long shot, but why not. The 1 for 1 trading a WR for a WR doesn't benefit you at all.

ChargersSB 0 Posted October 13, 2017 I was looking at Hopkins compared to Allen and they are somewhat close in terms of receptions/yards. Hopkins has more touchdowns. Seems like Montgomery will be in more of a committee going forward and maybe miss some time with his ribs. Do you think Mike Williams coming in on the Chargers now will affect Keenan though going forward? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottsind 61 Posted October 13, 2017 I like Hopkins upside more than Allen's. Allen I am sure will still get a lot of targets, but he has a lot more competition around him for targets than Hopkins. Allen has two tight ends, Benjamin, and Ty Williams to fend off. It is really just Hopkins and Fuller for catches in Houston. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChargersSB 0 Posted October 13, 2017 Yeah, that is what I was thinking. Allen has a lot of competition around him and it seems that Hopkins and Deshaun Watson have been building a rapport. Thanks for the tips. I think I'll leave it as is, no trade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HopLax 0 Posted October 13, 2017 Here are 2 websites that assign trade values for every player........start there and play with different scenarios. scottsind is absolutely correct, trading WRs 1 for 1 doesn't help you. You need to leverage Deandre into a great RB (your team's weakness) and a good WR. Off the top of my head I was thinking Deandre for CJ Anderson and Theilen (or Kelvin Benjamin) or Ty and Deandre for M thomas and CJ. Your trading partner has a lot of extra depth he can't use at RB and he clearly is solely focused on getting Hopkins........he will give you far more than the trade charts dictate. Let us know what you decide. https://www.fantasypros.com/2017/10/fantasy-football-trade-values-week-6/ https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/fantasy-football-week-6-travis-kelce-marcus-mariota-devanta-parker-trade-values-chart/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChargersSB 0 Posted October 14, 2017 Offered a couple of those trades suggested but he rejected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottsind 61 Posted October 14, 2017 TY. If he really want Hopkins he will negotiate with you. If not, you have a stud going forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HopLax 0 Posted October 14, 2017 Offered a couple of those trades suggested but he rejected. Be patient.......he will come back to you next week. He wants his prize which is Hopkins. He will ultimately accept Ty Montgomery/Hopkins for CJ/Allen or CJ/M. Thomas. He will not trade K. Hunt because that is his draft badge of honor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ertz Should I propose a different trade or not trade at all? you could use an upgrade at RB, but the other guy does not seem to have much you are likely to acquire because Bell and Hunt are likely untouchable, and his backups arent great. I dont like his WR either. Not for what you are giving up. Honestly, I dont think there is a good trade here for you. sometimes the best trades are the ones you dont make.
