Vikings>Packers Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Worst team in my 12 team league (drafted AB and had Saquon out) traded Saquon for Chris Thompson and Brandon Cooks. Cooks is decent, for sure, but Thompson is a perpetual bench warmer at best. Anyone else have examples of horrible trades this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he know about the recent news Barkley might be back sooner than everyone predicted? It appears by your sig, the league is PPR? In that case, Thompson isn't a slug. Easily a flex option many weeks, at least with all the byes coming up. . With Cooks, Rams haven't been scoring like maybe some think they should, but Cooks has been solid, he'd start every week in everyone's lineup. What's the rest of his lineup look like? If these two guys plug some holes, they could be important to his lineup going forward. I wouldn't trade Barkley away for those two, but if I was still under the impression he was out for another month, and I was desperate and thought I still had a chance this year, ya gotta do what ya gotta do sometimes.

Vikings>Packers Posted October 3, 2019 Author Share Posted October 3, 2019 Trade happened last night/this morning. Guy who traded Barkley was 1-3. His team is not good, but will only be worse with Chris Thompson and cooks, rather than Barkley. Sorry, it’s a different league from the one in my sig. it’s a 12 team .5 ppr. He has decent receivers: Godwin, Lockett, Thielen, and now cooks. But now his starting RBs are Thompson and Breida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBalata Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 yea, those facts don't help support his decision. although lately both those guys might be in better situations than Theilen. But he should definitely been looking to upgrade at rb, not wr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure on other offers. I didn’t offer, because I figured I’d have to give up too much. I’m also not complaining about it, I just can’t believe the guy with Barkley did it. I Was just wondering if anyone else had bad trades like that in their league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaft Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I'm a 1-3 Barley owner and I need to make moves NOW!!! So I was just looking for more information on the situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
