1. That's a pretty decent trade proposal. Gurley is like a better version of Hill where he is more TD dependent. That Rams offense looks horrendous. However, keep in mind that JJ Watt is now possibly out for the season which means the defense isn't as strong. That usually translates to less running and more passing but I think they will make sure to run the ball. If they bench Keenum, Gurley could be better though but who knows when that happens. (I actually think Mannion is their best QB)

 

2. I absolutely love Jones so if you can propose for him first I would. If that doesn't work try Landry.

Yes, I would go ahead and propose that trade. Looks fair enough on both sides. I also have Gurley and Cooper, and I'd take it.

 

And i'd rather have Jones than Landry. Jones is carving out a big role in Detroit's offense, and I trust Stafford more than Tannehill.

I have Gurley in one league, so I understand the desire to trade him... but call me crazy, I'd rather have the two best players in the trade, which are Gurley and Cooper.

It's a very good offer, and I'd also ask for Jones, but I'd be hesitant because it's rare to "win" a trade when you're giving up the better players, IMO.

Good luck :)

I say no. You're not in the dumps at WR. At RB you don't have much past Gurley (damn auto INCORRECT) & Gordon. Ware's value is going to dip after KC week 5 bye when Charles comes back. MIN line sucks so don't expect much from AP's backup.

Full disclosure: I was down on Gurley before the season even started. Nothing that's happened so far has remotely changed my mind there. We're talking about a guy who, in 16 career games, has managed 4.0+ YPC seven times. That's not awful, I guess, but it's also not a recipe for an elite fantasy producer. Especially when (1) the rest of the offense is as bad at St. Louis's is, and (2) they're going to get down by a lot of points fairly regularly and, as a result, have to mostly abandon the run. Gurley is pretty much a non-factor in the passing game, which only compounds the point. Meanwhile, Miller (who is clearly less talented) plays on a better overall team and is the only guy who gets snaps in that backfield, both in the running and passing attacks.

 

Who to choose as the receiver coming from him is tough. I'd probably go with Jones over Jarvis due to ease of playoff schedule (Jones gets NO, CHI, NYG, & DAL in weeks 13-16, whereas Jarvis gets BAL, ARI, NYJ, & BUF in those same weeks) and my trusting Stafford more than I trust Tannehill. But you can't really go wrong with either, I think. And they're both, IMO, upgrades over Amari, although I really like him too.

Thanks TooFam.

Really appreciate the breakdown!

I just traded for Miller actually! HAHA gave up T Coleman and Sanders after their monster performances!

Nice! Yeah man I know Miller's whole thing in MIA was could he carry a huge workload because he never really had more than 15 touches a game but he's proven he can so far.
