ok I don t know enough about your league.

1) have you already drafted and this is your team?  or do you still have to declare keepers?

if so, how many?

2) you are trading one player away and getting 2 in return.   usually that means you need to drop someone.   I'm assuming that someone would be Juwan Johnson but maybe it is someone else.    the one thing I'll say is a 2 for 1 deal is never truly a 2 for 1 deal because you have to drop someone from your roster to make that deal happen (due to roster limitations)

3) what does the rest of your roster look like?   to properly evaluate a trade you should look at the whole roster.

Drafted Friday, no keepers. Half PPR

My team

Burrow(6)

Mixon(3), Taylor(4), Sanders(5), Wilson Jr. (11)

Hill(1), G. Wilson(2), Dotson(7), Sutton(8), G. Davis(9), Flowers (10)

Juwan Johnson(12) would drop since he is my last pick.

 

Opponents team

Rogers(9) Dak(10)

CMC(1), Pacheco(5), Swift(7), Achane(11)

Lamb(2), Deebo(3), Evans(6), McLaurin(8), J. Williams(12)

Waller(4)

I think I'd do the deal.

There are a number of factors going into this:

1) The colts had one of the best run blocking lines over the last few years.

2) if the trade happens (and I suspect it will) the odds are good that he wont be on a team that runs the ball nearly as well.   

3) there are some injury concerns with Taylor,

4) you do need help at TE and this solves the problem

5) I really like Pacheco and Love what Waller is likely to do this year.

6) if the trade doesnt happen, there is a very real chance that Taylor sits a good portion of the year.

in another league of mine every team keeps 3.   a guy decided not to keep JT and kept Rhamondre Stevenson instead.   I do fully understand why as well.  Not sure I'd have done the same but I understand his rationale.

If you have to start a TE... maybe.

If WRs and TEs are grouped together (like my league) I would not. 

I would probably wait JTs  value will likely go up as the 4 weeks ends or with a trade.
