show me the murray 49 Posted September 25, 2019 Someone is offering James Conner for Melvin Gordon straight up - would you do it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AxeElf 787 Posted September 26, 2019 If you drafted Melvin Gordon and hunkered down for the long haul, why would you trade him for a RB who is barely in the top 25 on the very day that Gordon announces he is reporting to the team some 6-7 weeks before anyone thought he would? What DO they teach in these schools...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,452 Posted September 26, 2019 Now with Gordon returning, I would trade him for Conner. And hurry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also would get by bells bye week. Shouldn't I entertain that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course, but that's considering a trade for someone who is at least equal in production and draft capital as Gordon would be even in the best-case scenario--not exactly the same as dumping him for Conner's ho-hum production.

I also get by his bye week and I didn't have to give up ekeler. I think bell is in a better situation as far as touches. Gordon isnt going to play this week and I have a hard time believing they will give him full boat next week or ever at all considering how well the backups have played.

As an Ekeler owner, I can see how this will be a difficult thing for you to accept, but while Ekeler will retain some standalone value, he's going to be more like a flex play in non-PPR leagues from Week 5 on, because Gordon WILL be their lead RB again. The sooner you can move past the "denial" stage, the closer you will be to working through the grief process. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will probably cut Jackson loose today after thr leveon trade goes thru. I have no plans on starting ekeler at all...but hes certainly worth keeping as a handcuff.
