This is redraft right? I think I would do it, but interested to see what others say.

I'd do it, gap between CMC and JT is bigger than gap between Chase and Puka. Pickens and Cooper are a wash.

Although each of the players he is trying to send you have slight injury/trade concerns...

That's what I was thinking.

I would take the side with the best player, CMC. Although, he is an injury risk.

I am not concerned about the difference between Cooper and Pickens.

I disagree I much rather have the chase, JT, and cooper side of this.

I think the gap between Chase/Cooper to Puka/Pickens is bigger than people realize. You have taken on significantly more risk with your WR core. Chase is an unquestioned alpha top 5 receiver when him and Burrow is healthy. Cooper is underrated and is the browns WR1. He has shown the ability to put up WR1 type numbers in games.

Puka has legit competition for target share with Kupp back and fully healthy. There has been a lot of noise that Kupp looks like his old self. Not to mention the other weapons on the offense (KWilliams, Corum, Tutu, etc). Puka is my least favorite first round receiver. I also really don’t think the Steelers will be good. Russ has looked washed even with Payton last year. If Aiyuk gets traded that drops Pickens even more as Aiyuk could unseat him as the wr1.

Your saving grace is that CMC is a monster. CMC has been able to stay relatively healthy but the amount of touches/hits that he takes puts him at high risk of injury still regardless. Plus he is a year older. JT has been an overall RB1 before. Now back healthy there is a chance he does that again. He has no real competition for carries other than Richardson. Richardson got injured on 3 of the 4 games he played last year. If they try to run him like he is cam newton again then they are morons.

Even Pickens as WR1 currently isn’t saying much in a Arthur Smith offense.

Pickens has tremendous talent, but his owners will feel the pain of Drake London owners last year. Arthur smith is a fantasy owners nightmare. Pickens and freirmuth will be under utilized. And no matter how bad the o line is, he will try to pound the ball with both backs and you might as well flip a coin on who has the better day. Basically whoever you start will have the shittier day.
