bberri5 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 10 team standard league. I was just offered Melvin Gordon and Michael Thomas for DeAndre Hopkins. My main hesitation is how bad Brees and the NO offense is looking but perhaps that is because they don't have Thomas. Thoughts? My current RB/WR... RB - Mostert, Gaskin, Gibson, Ingram (I had Barkley but you know what happened there) WR - Hopkins, Fuller, AJ Brown, Robby Anderson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGuildedAge Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I feel like you have to to be able to upgrade your RBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bberri5 Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 So you wouldn't take the trade? There aren't that many solid RBs in a standard scoring league so they're hard to come by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, yes I would take thomas and Gordon for Hopkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer makes me hoppy Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Even if Thomas is average the rest of the season you will be better off since you get Gordon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gijoerock Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I would take the trade because you could use a WR 1 & RB 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JumpingJehosaphat Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I don’t think Gordon improves your RB corp much if at all so I’d decline the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
League_Champion Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 This can go either way for me. I'd probably lean towards yes, only because you could use RB/Flex help. I wouldn't worry about the NO offense, his volume will be there regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bberri5 Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 Just circling back on this. I ended up countering with Ertz, AJ Brown, and Gaskin for Thomas and Gordon. I lost Barkley early so even though my RBs still aren't amazing, they are at least serviceable and my WRs are very solid. I'm happy that I was able to hang onto Hopkins and I'll be able to pair him with Thomas QB - Wilson RB - Mostert, Gibson, Gordon, Jackson, Ingram WR - Hopkins, Thomas, Anderson, Fuller TE - Hockenson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
