2 interesting trade offers

[SmokingMonkey]

10tm PPR
QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, TE, FLEX, K, DST

My team
Eli, Romo
Charles, CJ1K, Sproles, DeAngelo, Bernard, Ball, Ben Tate
Marshall, VJax, Hilton, Hopkins
Brandon Myers

Obviously went heavy on RBs, picked up DeAngelo and Tate when dummies dropped them. (I dropped Broyles for DeAngelo, Woodhead for Tate, and traded Nicks for Bernard)

Offer that came in 1st:
Colston for CJ1K

This owner is rolling with Spiller, Lacy, Bell, and Pierre Thomas as his current RBs. Has AJ Green, James Jones, Edelman, Boldin, Colston, Jennings and Thompkins.
Personally, I think DeAngelo for Colston is a better deal, I have CJ1K > Colston, and Im not HURTING at WR just yet.

2nd Offer:
Jordan Cameron for DeAngelo.
I originally offered this deal up earlier in the year, and didn't hear anything from the Cameron owner. No texts, PM's, counters, no communication at all, then he puts this offer back up to me earlier today.

I like the upgrade over Myers, also like moving DeAngelo over CJ1K.

thoughts?

forgot to mention about team that has Cameron:
RBs - Alf, TRich, D Wilson, Pierce
WRs - Cruz, G Tate, V Brown, Roddy
Currently has Owen Daniels as his starting TE, and drafted Cameron before me in the exact round I was going to take him as my starter.....that bastard!

I'd offer him DWill for Colston but not CJ.....................plus you are banking on Gio to be as advertised (which I think he will) but if not you would be kinda stuck. Who did these guys drop DWill and Tate for anyway? Sure hope this is one of your money leagues.

1st offer: I also like CJ1k more than I like Colston. It would be nice to get another guy of Colston's caliber on your team, but it's not like you NEED that WR, so don't take a trade where you're losing in value.

2nd offer: This one I would consider more even. It would be a tough decision for me. I'm right on the fence with it.

Pros:
(1) I love what we've seen so far from Cameron. He might be REALLY good this year.
(2) DeAngelo Williams is getting up there in age.
(3) You have the depth at RB to make this move and still be in great shape .

Cons:
(1) We haven't seen a lot from Cameron. Maybe you should wait a week to pull the trigger.
(2) An upgrade at TE isn't the most important thing, and this may not end up being a huge upgrade at TE anyway.
(3) You're giving up a starting RB and might be able to get something better when owners get desperate.

My $0.02.

I like the 2nd..but not the first. If you prefer Colsten to Cameron, perhaps try San's suggestion. . but you'll probably have to add a little too get him for DWILL.

Tate was dropped for Tampa DST for their wk 1 matchup vs NYJ.
DeAngelo was dropped for Michael Bush after Bush scored some GL TDs in preseason, LOL!
A few Bears' homers in this league, about half STL fans and half CHI fans make up the 10 owners, we all went to college together, but this is my 1st year in the league.

Yes, it is $$ league, and Yes, I am thrilled with my starting lineup. I traded Nicks for Bernard, thinking like you said, that he will be as good as advertised. Not overly concerned losing Nicks, since my main FLEX options are Sproles or CJ1K (whichever is not starting as my RB2), Bernard, Hilton. I was looking to move DeAngelo for a decent WR2/3 option just to give me some more flexibility at the flex spot.

Sending this owner a message today to tell him that I was willing to do this offer earlier in the week to get Cameron into my lineup, but now I want to wait and see what Cameron and DWill do this week before making any decisions. If DWill blows up the Bills, his value could jump a little.

I really like the 2nd deal, not a fan of the 1st. I just don't get the attraction people have for DWill.

Although, he is being projected to have a good game.

 

[tlance]

You are losing value on both, but the second one makes your team better. The first one does not. DWill is more or less expendable. I think Sproles, Gio and Tate are all on the same level as FLEX plays. You could definitely use a better TE.

 

[tlance]

LOL. Didn't see this was PPR. You don't need DWill at all. I would make that deal right now. Cameron is a massive upgrade over Myers.

 

[TKOSpikes]

I'm not making those deals. Keep your RB depth, it's only week 2. Charles isn't exactly filling me with confidence. Cameron should be a dandy, but in a PPR, I think Myers keeps up with him. I think Myers led the Giants in targets last week?

With Roddy White hurting, his WR corps isn't very appealing... I would offer Ball and Hilton for Cameron. (although I doubt he accepts) DWill is gonna light up the Bills, so not only am I saying don't trade him this week, I'm saying start him this week. If you do wait, maybe you can get Cameron and Pierce (or Wilson pending his week 2 performance)...for DWill and Hopkins?

 

[Beengay fudgepackers]

If you need to make a trade, I would trade DWill for Cameron. Even though I think Chris Johnson is overrated, hes still more valuable than Colston. You will only play D Will when you absolutely have to because he really isnt that good. However, you have to have faith that Cameron's big day was not just a fluke. Your WRs arent really that bad that you should give up one of your must start RBs.
