RB for WR trade advice

[the shiva 0]

I was offered Bryon Pringle, KC WR for Tevin Coleman, NYJ RB. On face value I want to say "no way" but long term with Coleman playing for the Jets and his current history of getting injured. I know KC has lots of wr's but Pringle has look good lately. So keepy Coleman or take a risk on Pringle?

Seriously?  You're torn up over which guy you want to stick on the end of your bench?  You know, the guy you're gonna drop for a bye week kicker anyway?

Coleman is rostered in 27% of Yahoo leagues; Pringle in 1%.  Whichever one you DON'T choose will still be there for you on the waiver wire if you change your mind.

I would get Pringle. 

Thank you for the question. 

Good luck on your decision

I'd keep Coleman. Scarcity of RBs has me valuing depth at RB over grabbing a WR who will likely be 4/5th on his team in targets. He might have one or two big weeks, but good luck predicting when Mahomes decides to target him for a huge day.

Coleman has experience and familiarity with the coaching staff and he's currently, nominally, the starter. If the Jets offense improves with Zach Wilson and the rookie Carter takes a while to get going, Coleman could be a flex starter.

If not, you can easily pick up a WR similar to Pringle in a week or two - or, as mentioned above, Pringle himself, given that owner will have probably tossed him back on the waiver wire by then anyway.
