Andre / Witten too much for Deangelo? WHIR **UPDATE**

[hammertoes]

I was offered a trade...

His Deangelo Williams (16th round keeper)

FOR

My Andre Johnson (2nd round keeper) and Jason Witten (13th round keeper)


I know Deangelo is projected to be a top 5 RB and everything, but I can't help feeling like I'm giving up too much.

Talk me into it or talk me out of it.

Not enough info.

What's your team?

Starting positions?

PPR?

[hammertoes]

10 team keeper, standard scoring, no ppr, 6pts for all TD's
can keep 2 players from rounds 1-5, and 2 more from rounds 6-16
QB / 2RB / 3WR / RB-WR / TE / K / DST / 6BN

my current keepers:
AJ (2)
Portis (4)
MB3 (8)
Romo (10)

other notables on my team:
B. Marshall (5)
Witten (13)
Warner (16)
L. Johnson (16)

If I made the trade I'd probably keep Portis (4), Barber (8), and DWill (16). Try to trade some package of Romo, Warner, LJ, and Marshall for a good value keeper in round 1-5.

You're giving up too much. I don't think DeAngelo will get near the numbers he had last year.

I should also add that Witten could end up being their top receiver now that TO is gone.

You're giving up too much. I don't think DeAngelo will get near the numbers he had last year.

Even though I was probably going to lose Witten anyway?

[nola_saint]

Are you better with:
AJ, Portis, Romo, MB3

or

Portis, ? , DeAngelo, Barber?

Unless you can get a Moss or Fitzgerald, I would NOT give up the best PPG WR in the league(when healthy), and that offense will probably be better, AJ is a machine and he and Fitz are in their iwn class now at WR.

I don't like the deal personally.............
Thanks for the help on mine!!!

I wouldn't do the deal unless you can work out something which doesn't involve AJ. In PPR he is your best current keeper.

Help me too? viewtopic.php?t=438290

OK, I think I am going to offer a trade.

AJ (2) and Witten (13)
FOR
Deangelo (16) and <insert pick swap here>

I wasn't going to keep Witten anyway and I figure I'm better off with Deangelo and my 2nd round pick than with AJ and my 16th round pick.

What do you think would be an appropriate pick swap?
I draft 8th out of 10, he drafts 5th. (snake draft)

Keep in mind that the following picks cannot be involved due to pending keepers: My 4th and 8th, his 2nd and 4th.

Am I asking too much if I go with my 7th for his 5th?
Or should I ask for one of his picks staight up?

very interesting stuff.

while its hard to consider dumping AJ even in a non ppr league, dwill for a 16th rounder is incredible value.

on the flip side, the panthers have a much tougher schedule this year, stewart is always lurking, and i think what we saw from deangelo last year is above his ceiling.

right now, you could keep AJ, MB3, Portis, and LJ. id rather have LJ for a 16th than romo for a 10th. warner in the 16th is a possibility too.

if you make this deal, youre looking at MB3, Portis, Dwill, and romo/warner, along with some mid-round pick, and your 2nd round selection back. your midround pick is going to get you an RB who you probably won't start very often, given your team of portis/dwill/mb3, and the 2nd rounder is unlikely to get you a WR anywhere near AJ's talent, given that this is a 4-keeper league.

personally, i think AJ will outproduce any WR that you find in the 2nd round more than dwill outproduce MB3, Portis, or LJ. as crazy as it sounds, i would stand pat here. AJ is an elite talent, possibly the best at his position. Dwill is a gamble on a team with a timeshare and a tough schedule.
