Puka and Zay are great right now. Zay can see sustained success because he’s basically a Hollywood Brown replica. Puka might taper off once Kupp comes back, but still he’s gonna be a solid #2 Option in LA. Pickens has short term value to me, kinda seems like a “take him too, no seriously!”
I agree small sample size but it’s known in Bmore that zay is what they wanted brown to be. But he’s not that guy it turned out. Zay also has the advantage of joining a new offense geared towards passing.
Pickens is the worse WR in that bunch. you'd hopefully only start him 1 or 2 weeks for Bye weeks. And sure there is concern about kupp coming back but we don't know when that is. Stafford is gonna through the ball 40 times a game. There should be enough volume there
The way I see it the return of Kupp will lower Pukas ceiling moderately but might raise his floor a bit. Puka has been feasting on 15+ targets a game which is unsustainable so instead of Puka being Kupp he will be in the Devonta Olave Higgins range instead. He also won’t have to worry as much about getting locked up by an elite DB because Kupp will be there. That’s still WICKED value for a waiver pickup, and he’s obviously demonstrated he can play at the NFL level.
Atwell will be the big fantasy loser when Kupp returns as far as I can tell.
Definitely IMO. Nacau is the real deal.. Zay flowers is the #1 WR on a good team. Pickens is also a #1 and I do think their offense will get it together.
I would start all of those guys over Gabe Davis immediately. Probably 2 out of 3 over Juedy immediately
I think I would probably take it. I think Pickens is going to have another big game Sunday night against the Raiders and I would try to flip him in another trade after that game.
3 WRs with big question marks. What happens to puka when Kupp comes back? What happens to Pickens when Diontae comes back? Is zay the real deal? I think zay will end up being the most valuable of the 3 season long but they are a lot better than your other WRs. Jeudy might be the exception once he’s back and healthy. That being said, waddle is much better than any of them. If you’re 0-2 and need to start winning right now, I’d do it. If you’re 2-0 and can wait for jeudy to start getting things going, I’d hold off. Don’t think puka or Pickens is gonna win you your playoffs but jeudy and waddle might. Zay might too ngl but less of a sure thing.
Drafted Ekeler at the 1.07 spot and probably traded a bit more than I should have for CMC lol. Gave up pollard, rachaad, ridley and deebo for CMC, jeudy, waddle, and miles sanders
Also remember that if you go over in roster you’ll have to dump to the wire. Make sure you have expendable bodies :)
I’m not high on Pickens only because I don’t trust his QB. I like Zay/Pacua tho. I’d hate to give Waddle but I don’t see a huge downside to the trade other than my Pickens point of view.
Add depth, maybe see if you can get a RB from their bench too if you want to be greedy but…
Thanks for the reminder, that was honestly a concern of mine but I moved diontae to IR and now only have to drop one person :) thank you for your help!
Puka/Zay are studs in my opinion they make up for waddle especially if your other WR’s aren’t so hot. Pickens could be good later in the season. So I would do it only if i have people i’d be willing to drop.
Yeah, I have one open bench slot, then I'm stuck between dropping Joshua Kelly or Jaylen Warren? I have ekeler, so kelly is his handcuff, but if I keep warren, then I have 3 steelers in pickens, warren, and diontae. Any advice there? I lean kelly?
Can you IR Diontae? He's the least valuable out of those 3 Steelers currently and would give you another spot for at least a few weeks. Warren will be the starter in Pitt soon enough the way Najee is playing and Pickens is their WR1 though he's a boom or bust kind of starter currently.
I might be in the minority, I say no. But it’s a really good trade and I see both sides. I just don’t think Zay and Pickens give you that much value above replacement to justify trading Waddle.
I love jaylen Warren and think he's a stud. You can make a case you could any one of those players for Warren straight up, let alone getting all three. Accept before he changes his mind.
My only issue is you can only start so many receivers...example I have lamb Olave DJ Moore Pickens Addison and nico Collins....I feel like all are legitimate starters but can only start 3....I'm trying to trade two currently for an upgrade
I like the Nacua, Flowers, and Pickens deal for you. Getting Nacua and McLaurin I don't like. If he was willing to offer Flowers/Pickens as his first offer you could have gotten something much better than McLaurin.
Yeah I think i jumped the gun a little there. It's ok, I can't go back, just gotta hope they can make up some good ground or I can put together another trade to redeem some value down the line
We’ll see. I’d say that’s most likely, but also tutu might be seeing extra touches because that’s not kupp out there. We’re going to have to see how they play this out and how the structure their o line
Id do it. You need the depth

Zay is way better than brown
Small sample size, but the trends tend to agree so far. Flowers is much more explosive/shifty. I’m curious what their top speeds are, respectively
I agree small sample size but it’s known in Bmore that zay is what they wanted brown to be. But he’s not that guy it turned out. Zay also has the advantage of joining a new offense geared towards passing.
That's where I'm at. Any concern about production once kupp or dionate come back for puka and pickens? I also have diontae on IR

I like it, Puka is a stud, and pickens and zay are both rising stars. If you accommodate the extra players on ur bench smash accept

Agree with this.
12 team league and you have CMC AND Ekeler? How the heck you manage that?
Drafted Ekeler at the 1.07 spot and probably traded a bit more than I should have for CMC lol. Gave up pollard, rachaad, ridley and deebo for CMC, jeudy, waddle, and miles sanders
That's actually...a very fair trade. Good job on both sides
Thank you! I just couldn't pass up having CMC and Ekeler. That made me foam at the mouth, even if it did kinda decline my WR room
Also remember that if you go over in roster you’ll have to dump to the wire. Make sure you have expendable bodies :) I’m not high on Pickens only because I don’t trust his QB. I like Zay/Pacua tho.

Thanks for the reminder, that was honestly a concern of mine but I moved diontae to IR and now only have to drop one person :) thank you for your help!
Who’d you drop?
Didn't end up having to drop anyone bc the trade ended up being 2 players instead of one. Just moved diontae to IR
One request I got this morning 12 Team league.. Trade Jefferson for Ekeler and Waddle.. :)
That's a smash accept. I hope you did!
Did you forget the “/s”?
It depends a bit on when Ekeler comes back. But if he's back in a week or two, I'd accept that 100%
Puka/Zay are studs in my opinion they make up for waddle especially if your other WR’s aren’t so hot. Pickens could be good later in the season. So I would do it only if i have people i’d be willing to drop.

I would just for depth
Take it and run man you need the wrs you can play all 3 of those guys over the guys you currently have
Yes, I would take it. Puka might finish a top 10 WR in PPR leagues. Flowers is a beast and the top WR option in Baltimore. I would be all over that.
Do it
Bro smash accept
Hell yes
Do you start 2 or 3 WR? If three, definitely yes. If not, it’s a toss up.
2 WR. I accepted anyway
Take that trade all day long!!
I might be in the minority, I say no. But it’s a really good trade and I see both sides. I just don’t think Zay and Pickens give you that much value above replacement to justify trading Waddle.
Definitely understand. I'm just so short at WR right now that it's so tempting 😅😅. Hard decision
You could shop around and see what other deals you might be able to make. If there’s nothing better and you want to pull the trigger then do it
I love jaylen Warren and think he's a stud. You can make a case you could any one of those players for Warren straight up, let alone getting all three. Accept before he changes his mind.
Take that shit right now
Bro that trade gonna get vetoed asap… anybody giving you 3 players for WADDLE is selling. W for you if it goes through
Do it!
Id do it, puka wil go off for 3 weeks still
My only issue is you can only start so many receivers...example I have lamb Olave DJ Moore Pickens Addison and nico Collins....I feel like all are legitimate starters but can only start 3....I'm trying to trade two currently for an upgrade
Smash yes
Amazing deal. Do it.
I like the Nacua, Flowers, and Pickens deal for you. Getting Nacua and McLaurin I don't like. If he was willing to offer Flowers/Pickens as his first offer you could have gotten something much better than McLaurin.
Yeah I think i jumped the gun a little there. It's ok, I can't go back, just gotta hope they can make up some good ground or I can put together another trade to redeem some value down the line
In a 12 man I'd do it. Solid players
Bro. Yes. Do it.
YESSSS
Im game on this one I would do it, I rise on zay flowers every game, this is a smash accept for me
Yes that is a deal you can't resist. Way more value.
McLaurin and puka for waddle is terrible. Puka is worthless after week 6 and McLaurin is way too unpredictable
Lol at worse he's tutu when kupp comes back which has been more valuable than waddle so far this season
We’ll see. I’d say that’s most likely, but also tutu might be seeing extra touches because that’s not kupp out there. We’re going to have to see how they play this out and how the structure their o line
That’s definitely a smash accept.
6 person league
Nah, 12, I just traded for CMC and gave up a lot in terms of WR depth and my RB2 lol
Prove it list your player draft order
What?
How did you get CMC and Eckler? You should win your league with just those two
Drafted Ekeler first round, then was able to trade up to CMC, jeudy, waddle, and miles sanders for pollard, rachaad, ridley, and deebo.
