Early Season Panic, LOL. Lineup check trade advice

[TheGuildedAge]

@irish@League_Champion @Montana is da Manespecially...

 

My team, starters in bold, full PPR. We start QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, TE, 2 Flex (RB, WR, TE) K

QB: Hurts

RB: Taylor, Jones, Stevenson, Pierce, Gainwell, Hines, R White

WR: Williams, Sutton, A-ROb, JUJU, Pickens, Burks

TE: Engram (I am all in on him over waiver guys and will own this decision. Draft went weird and no tight ends were left I liked more than Pierce, Pickens, Burks, Hines, Gainwell in later rounds)

K: Lutz

Hindsight 20/20 but draft I probably shouldn't have passed on Andrews, Deebo, or AJ Brown. But what is done is done.

Obviously not gonna blow up team but two questions.

QUESTION 1:

1 manager literally has no healthy running backs except McCaffrey and he drafted 3 tight ends 2 of whom are not playing

Curious if you would package an RB with JUJU for Metcalf/Higbee?

QUESTION 2:

1 manager freaking out lol and already looking to trade.

She has Toney, M Gordon on bench.

Go after Toney?

 

Thanks for any thoughts. Our waivers are thin. As I said draft went sideways fast and people hoarded QBs and tight ends.

 

Not usually a panic guy but have some players I think I might be able to land.

Answer 1) Maybe, depends which RB. Everyone is low on DK Metcalf, and I get it his QB situation SUUUCKS, but the man will still catch balls and be his normal athletic self. Meanwhile we're not sure what to expect from JuJu, other than Mahomes will for sure spread the ball around to more receivers. i wouldn't want to trade any of your top 4 RBs, but Gainwell, Hines (whom I like and have in several leagues), and White would be great trade fodder

Answer 2) I like Toney, but I also like your WRs already, and while I love Toney's skillset his ability to stay healthy is in question. Go get Toney if you can get him on the cheap and take advantage of the owner's freaking out.

Thanks. I am torn on which RB I would offer.

I expect to lose this week (opponent had Kupp) but next week I play the guy with no healthy RB or tight end, lol.

 

Maybe I will let it ride a week.

I expect JuJu is going to be a WR10-15 this year.  JuJu, Gabe, Tee.  Guys are going to feast.  Man, book it.       😊

That's cool, but we've never seen him in this offense on this team w/ this QB... we don't know. Let week 1 happen to see how things play out, for now go w/ a more sure thing. Just my .02

Question 1: 

Nope, Metcalf and JuJu are even and I'm not giving up RB depth for a TE in Higbee, who's only slightly better than Engram. 

2:

I like your top 4 WRs better than Toney. Toney is slightly better, imo, than Pickens and Burks.  So, if you want him over those 2, make the move.
