Rookie trade

Probably not. It just seems like an overpay to me. But who are your current TEs? Will you contend this year without making the trade? What are your starting requirements. Where is the 2024 2nd likely to be?

Since Mattison appears to be the RB1, ef you already you will contend, can you afford to lose him and depend on two rookies and questions surrounding Etienne and Pierce? I was high on Charbonnet until he landed in Seattle.

For reference, I sold Dillon, Claypool and 1.03 for 1.04, 2.02 and 3.02. But I am still in a rebuild so Dillon’s and Claypool’s absence is inconsequential to me as I have Breece, Pierce and Rachaad White and prefer the handcuffs I got.

After the trade I got Quentin Johnston, Stroud and Abanikanda with those picks. But that also allowed me to take Achane at 2.03 and Tucker at 3.03 and by trading Damien my Harris for 2.10 I got Marvin Mims.

So a lot of questions surround your trade.

Well… as my dear old dad used to say “Ya pays ya money and ya takes ya chances”. I still don’t like trading Mattison, but you gotta give to get. I believe the trade is Smitty APPROVED.

I am curious as to why the other team owner would do it. Is ha short on start worthy RBs and also owns Aaron Jones?

I think you are getting robbed blindly in this scenario. Mattison alone has more standing value right now as he is the RB1 of a high-scoring offense. If he isn’t enough, I would throw in a 3rd. Kincaid could be a stud, but Josh Allen and that offense has yet to show they are committed to focusing on one TE plus Knox just signed a 4-year contract.

I see the logic. I own Mattison, Dalvin, Kamara, Zeke, Claypool and Mooney in a league where I have to move 8 players a day or so before my Labor Day draft. Gonna try to have a fire sale to get to 1.01 or 1.02.

I already own Breece, Walker, Pollard, Dobbins, Lamb, AJ Brown, Godwin, Watson and Ridley. So I should not NEED any of them and now is the time to sell. Otherwise I will have to cut some of them. If I keep them then I will have to cut some players like Nico Collins, Terrace Marshall, Doubs and some others that I would like to wait on.

Of those…Mattison is the only one that holds value. Dalvin could but also will most likely hold out signing until after training camp to save his body and will have situational value once he signs.

Significant over pay in my book. TEs usually break out in their 3rd year if at all. I don’t see Kincaid anywhere near a Pitts type player. And you’re giving up solid players that can help your team now. Mattison alone is worth more.

Fortunately I still have 79 days before I have to decide. Hopefully Dalvin will land someplace sweet and he and Mattison with be attractive starters along with my 1.08 if I have to cough it up.

100% PASS on this trade. I wouldn’t even trade Mattison for Kincaid straight up.

You are set with your team, do NOT give up your depth at RB to get a future TE that may or may not pan out.
