Fantasy Football Trade Thread

Figure I'd get a thread going for anyone to ask for/receive trade thoughts...
10 team league, not ppr, scoring skewed towards long Tds with bonuses for 100 yards rushing/receiving. Start 2RB, 2WR, and a flex (rb/we/TE, but it will always be a rb or WR I'll hope).
Current RBs are elliott, gurley, cj Anderson, Peterson, Coleman, and Stewart. Wrs are cooper, Thomas (den), Crabtree, diggs, and Snead.
Trade offer is Melvin Gordon, Kareem hunt, and Marlin Mack (a throw in) for zeke, Peterson, and Crabtree. Makes me really thin at WR, but a backfield of Gordon, gurley, and hunt seems hard to pass up (especially since I can work the waiver wire for WR depth).
Thoughts?

There should be a long list of WR's still available:
Cooper Kupp, Kendall Wright, Marvin Jones, Taylor Gabriel, Seth Roberts, Corey Coleman, Jeremy Kerley.....these names are all still available in my league for instance.
My roster...
Mariotta
Bell, Gurley, Anderson, Allen, Jones
Fitzgerald, Crabtree, Fuller, Funchess, Sanders
Ertz, Henry
Gostkowski
MIN, CAR
Would you trade Ertz and Fuller for Brady and Olsen?
Lost Rodgers last week, and just scooped up Mariota so at least I have something. Am I better off rolling with Mariota and the rest of my squad, or making the move for Brady while giving up my top TE (and having Henry and Olsen, when he's healthy) and giving up Fuller (basically a secondary WR for me that I'll use on byes and occasional flex, but not that much different from Funchess/Sanders in my mind)?
I'm leading towards making the trade, but wanted some thoughts on if I'm upgrading my team, or just shifting around points from the TE position to the QB spot.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
Joking aside, although I'm retired from fantasy, I do agree with the above logic and would make the trade.
Just as bad. Only thing worse would be if you guys were Cowboys fans. This must be a fun season for you fan-wise. Good thing you have FF/DFS.
Hopefully this is all taken in good fun. I just haven't had a team I root for do well in quite a while so I'm obviously thrilled with the Eagles' start. I don't even think they're necessarily great TBH, but as I've mentioned to many people over the past weeks, no one actually looks especially good in the whole league and the Eagles are getting it done one way or another (while facing a few key injuries along the way). If they can get the whole team healthy I'll be far more confident.
Yep. I actually think the Skins are pretty tough and I'm glad the Eagles got them in week one because they seemed to start playing better after that (almost losing to SF at home last week notwithstanding). Can't see them catching Philly with a loss Monday night but wild card is certainly possible.
Assuming that Amendola is more of a "depth guy" for you than a starter, I'd definitely make that move.
That was the case. He came off the waiver wire and those were my thoughts too. Thx
10 team, non-PPR, start 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1K, 1D/ST, 1Flex (RB/WR/TE)
TD heavy scoring with 1 pt/10 rushing&receiving, 1 pt/20 passing, and TDs are 6, 9 over 10 yards, 12 over 40 yards, and 15 over 70 yards. 5 point bonus for 100 rushing/receiving and 300 passing
Current squad:
Wilson/SEA
K Hunt/KC, Gurley/LAR, Gordon/LAC, Jones/GB, Anderson/DEN, Coleman/ATL, Peterson/ARZ, Stewart/CAR
Thomas/DEN, Cooper/OAK, Diggs/MIN, Jackson/TB
Brate/TB, Olsen/CAR
Gostkowski/NE
Kansas City D/ST
Trade Proposal: Gordon, A Jones, Cooper, and Diggs for Watson/QB/HOU, Hill/RB/CIN (a throw in), Agholor/WR/PHI (quasi throw-in), and Brown/WR/PIT
From a lineup standpoint for me, it's adding in depth at QB to play the matchups with Watson and Wilson, and a #1WR in Brown, while giving up my 3rd RB (who is starting every week for me as a flex), my 4th/5th RB in Jones (though I'm really deep at RB), and my 2nd and 3rd WRs. Am I giving up too much to get Brown, or do you think this deal makes sense. I'm tempted just because it gives me depth again at QB after losing Rodgers, and it would be great to roll with Gurley, Hunt, and Brown every week scoring points.
Thoughts? Worth it to give up depth for Brown and a better QB situation?
I'm with ACE as far as philosophy. Get the studs, risk the depth.
