Zeke just got put on the trade block. Owner is in a rebuilding mode. Very Interesting. However I'm actually thinking of making a offer for Barkley. The owner is in second place by a game and he plays the 3rd place team who just made a move. Trading his first and third for Ronnie Anderson and Chris Carson. Feel the timing is ripe to offer Tyreek Hill for Barkley. He's going to feel the pressure to do something and Barkley isn't helping him this year and Hill is a good get.
I'm I crazy for considering making this move? I'm in 4th place and pretty sure I'll make the playoffs. However I lost Kittle to injury and I'm limping along with Jonathan Taylor/ Akers as my RB2. My WRs are not bad Hill, D. Johnson, Kirk, Reagor, Marvin Jones, Watkins and Perriman. Not really great though. I have Everett at TE now and Wilson at QB.
What is the right move? Stay put, make the offer for Hill ( which may or may not be accepted ) or try for Zeke. I'm leaning trying for Barkley. Hill a great asset but Rbs like Barkley are hard to come by.

Speak up fast, because I need to be talked out of this idea pronto or I'm giving the offer a try.

I'd go for Zeke first.

But sounds like you may have a good shot at Saquon.

I can give Zeke a shot, but think it would cost more. The owner is way out of the race and his reason for moving Zeke is get a haul.

Barkley owner declined in about 5 seconds. Guess I misread his motivation to make a move or he’s trying for Zeke.

Guess that's that.

Is this PPR?
He's in 2nd place and in rebuilding mode? Is there a deadline inspiring this?

Can't see Hill getting shot down too often. Keep diggin

I hear ya on the RB thing.
In my keep 6, they are hard to come by. I had been rolling with Conner as RB1 for a couple years (along with Bell shitshow). Getting Barkley makes it feel better, even as he's in my IR... and even losing Kelce for it.

...but if the 2nd place owner has Zeke and Barkley and just turned down Hill, I can't further prognosticate his delusions.

No the 2nd place team is chasing the gold and I offer immediate help in Tyreek Hill for Barkley who is on IR. The Zeke owner is out of the race.

now that's a question to be saved in the logbook.

Taylor's dynasty range is T-Rich to Gore.
Tough call... even for ROS. Hill might outscore Zeke by himself.

personally, I don't consider a 3rd any value at all.

consider a counter...?

what’s your goal?? To compete this season or play for next. Or a little of both.
I could swing either direction TBH.

Counter him with Taylor, Hill, and Slayton and a 3rd for Zeke and Higgins ( who I would dearly love to get). So far only one offer been rejected I have 3 offers still on the board and he has his one.

that would be a nice counter... and maybe the dealbreaker on the Taylor fence.

We did a deal.

More then I wanted to pay. Wanted to hold onto that first, but think it was worth it.

yea. Way too much IMO. It’s weird though. Because if you are playing for the future you have to be optimistic with Taylor. But if you are playing for this season then Hill is the best player in the deal.

I think you may have shot yourself in the foot with this deal. You paid for the struggling star at full cost.

its not a terrible trade though. So you would not see a veto from me. Lol.

I may just trade Zeke. Have a offer out to a owner who said he wanted Zeke.

the offer has to be BETTER than what you just gave up. You just set the price. I actually doubt that you can get a better deal than what you just gave up. But if you do, jump at it.

I fine keeping Zeke. He’s a stud. Taylor who knows, could be just another Richardson. He hasn’t done squat

Sure he has done nothing. But if you are playing for the future you still need to treat him as a potential stud.

but I didn’t recommend you to trade zeke, you said you may trade him. I’m just saying if you do trade him, you set his value already. You overpaid for him. And I doubt anyone would give a better package for him than you already did.
