Regular PPR league. My team is borderline unbeatable but still looking for ways to incrementally improve it. Trying to deal a little bit of my WR depth to improve my WR3 a little. This league is hilarious, I literally picked up Baldwin off waivers and you've got people starting Cooper Kupp caliber WR.

Anyway, I'm the team with Zeke. Would you offer this? My #1 fear is that Mayfield gives Landry like 20 targets a game.

I'm almost certain he would take it, his WR depth sucks plus he's a Cowboys fan.

I'm not worried about TE, someone dropped Jordan Reed due to the bye week and I have a waiver claim in for him which I'm sure I'll get. Comfortable rolling with him the rest of the year.

I do view Barkley as a very minor upgrade over Zeke

You get the best player IMO in Barkley. Baldwin can put up big numbers when he comes back, I had Kupp last season and he drove me nuts kept expecting huge games and rarely got them yet I kept starting him. Unless you highly value Barkely over Zeke I think you have the better WR's that you are giving up in the trade. At least more upside, like you said if Cleveland starts throwing the ball all over the field with Baker could be a good combo and Wilson has to throw it to someone and love getting 12 for a TD.

After thinking about it I would probably keep what you have.

Yeah I'd probably drop Kupp tbh, just threw him in there to balance rosters. The sell to him is that he trades one startable WR for two, just for swapping Zeke with Barkley (he might actually view that as positive).

The benefit to me is I upgrade WR3 from Landry to Allen, upgrade Zeke to Barkley, only giving up a player I picked up off waivers last week (Baldwin).

You think? I guess it largely depends how you have Landry vs Allen projected.

I would move a WR or two........Your RB depth isn't great. Your WR's are stacked.

You are selling high on Landry and Baldwin and moving the center piece of a terrible offense.

Bad trade all the way around unless you feel Barkley is better because I think Landry is going to have more points then allen

You're crazy. Allen is a top 10 fantasy WR and arguably top 5. Especially in PPR.


Now is the best time to buy low on Allen. He had a great week 1. Week 2 the chargers were up by 100 in the second quarter and he was game scripted out (even though he still led the team in receiving). Week 3 he had a brutal matchup

This league doesn't even seem fun if the other owners are this incompetent

I would def do this trade and it's not really close


Zeke plays for a horrible offense. Giants offense is better than dallas and barkley catches a ton of passes


Allen is a tier above Landry

I wouldn't want any part of Baldwin. He started the year by saying he wouldnt be healthy all season and that's before he got the other injury.

Landry less injury prone and he catches more passes then Allen .

I’m telling you now Landry is very underrated

I don’t disagree, looks like he’s gonna be a target monster with Mayfield.

They are about equal in my mind but I put it in to sweeten the deal for a cowboys fan. I have no doubt he would do Barkley for zeke straight up.
