hopoholic 8 Posted November 15 Am I crazy for considering this simple one for one trade by giving up Sammy Watkins to acquire the Ravens D? Here's a bit more context. This is a standard scoring 10 team league that starts 3 WRs and a flex. I'm tied for 2nd place at 6-4. My current starting roster is below: QB: Mahomes RBs: Zeke, Jacobs, Coleman, Drake, McKissic WRs: Tyreek, Lockett, Chark, Marvin Jones, Watkins - must start 3 WRs TEs: Engram, Howard (off waiver wire) DST: Panthers and other streaming options for future weeks  My opponent who is considering this trade also as the Pats D and is sitting in first place at 9-1. Normally, I would not consider trading an impactful WR (is Sammy that impactful?) for a DST. However, I feel confident with the rest of my WRs, assuming health. After this week, Watkins might not even crack my starting lineup. The Ravens DST has been scoring very well lately (18, 12, and 23 last three weeks). They look great after adding Peters. More importantly, they have a favorable schedule in weeks 14-16 vs. Buffalo, NYJ, and CLE. I like that schedule come playoff time. As I finish writing this, I'm leaning towards making this trade. Talk me out of it! Why should I reconsider and keep Watkins? Thanks! WHIR!   Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Baller 50 Posted November 15 I like your plan for playoffs week(s). I would do it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MSkibisky 562 Posted November 15 I would. No need for Watkins and the Ravens D schedule is juicy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TouchMyPP 12 Posted November 15 I know they look strong, would u start them through the next 3 red weeks? I have Raiders starting over them this week? Was just going to save them for playoffs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Jeltz's Jheri Curl 86 Posted November 15 Not sure the DST scoring in your league but I like it nonetheless. The playoff schedule is nice for the Ravens and I've thrown in the towel on Watkins. Plus you already have Tyreek so you'd likely sit Watkins every week anyway.  Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarinB300 2,039 Posted November 15 I think Watkins had more value last year, if Tyreek were to go down. However, with the emergence of Hardman, if Tyreek goes down, they now have more than 1 WR they can lean on. I would make the deal. I know some say K & Def dont matter, but if you can get those who can potentially give you double digit pts, why not go after them? GL! Â 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
obietrice 7 Posted November 15 It's worth pulling the trigger on as you have plenty of depth at the WR position. This will give you a solid D/ST heading into the playoffs. Â Â Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trifecta 1,923 Posted November 15 Yeah do it. Â The chance the Ravens D will be a confident start week in week out is way higher than the chance of Watkins being a confident start. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SmileyFace8 78 Posted November 15 I would do it. This week though may be a rough go for the Ravens D as I see this game against Houston as a Lamar Jackson and Deshaun Watson shootout. Still for the remainder of the season and the Fantasy Playoffs you can't go wrong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
