1.5 PPR.

I was going to offer Jarvis Landry. That sound reasonable?

My other RB's are CEH, Le'Veon Bell, and whatever I can stream. My WR's are Ridley, Godwin, Jeudy, Russell Gage, and Scotty Miller.

I read that wrong. You can try.

I own Ekeler and I wouldn’t take that trade. You’d have to offer Ridley or Godwin for me to consider that trade.

If I'm giving up Ridley I want more than Ekeler.

Right? Especially in my league. 1.5 PPR. Ridley is a top 5 WR in my league.

Ridley or Godwin is too much for Ekeler. However, if I had ekeler I wouldn’t trade for Jarvis. Browns are too run heavy and Odell has most of the upside in the passing game. However, I would offer Jarvis and maybe counter with Jeudy if he doesn’t take him. Jeudy has more upside and has had a relatively high floor. I think that is a fair trade. He is also the number 1 receiver with Sutton down.

You're right, Jeudy would have been a better offer. Maybe even throw in a flex-level RB.

Guy really needs help at WR.

I wish the posters that were downvoting would chime in.

I'm genuinely curious. I'm not good at trading, I'm just trying to rationalize this.

Don't sweat it. There's no fricking way you're giving up Ridley for an injured Ekler.

I’m assuming most feel Ridley for Ekeler is a reasonable deal. I think it is.

Good RBs are commanding a premium this year. I don’t know much about his injury but if Ekeler is set to get back very soon I’d give Ridley for him if I had other WRs to take the slack.

My commish wanted me to give him Ridley for Gaskin.

Ekeler is on IR, out for 4 to 6 weeks.

It's not reasonable.

If that’s true, agreed. I still wouldn’t take Jarvis for him unless I was very desperate.

Yeah, that was a bad offer.

Google trade value charts and look at a few different ones to give you an idea of where to start.

Well maybe start there. That's a pretty big factor here

Clearly had the disclaimer... “but if Ekeler is set to get back very soon“

Obviously I’m not advocating trading away a top WR for a guy that isn’t playing for a month at best.

...then again, I’d do some filthy things for a good RB right about now.

Justin Jackson may serve my needs well enough.
