I would NOT give up a superstar like AB for them. West could blow up and I could end up being completely wrong, but AB is the best PPR WR in the entire league with a healthy Ben Roethlisberger, and he'll be back very soon. Is your league PPR? I can't remember what you said before.
Also, you already have Emmanuel Sanders, and I don't like having 2 of the top guys at the same position from the same team, so that would make me shy away from DT for sure.
Your team sounds pretty solid as-is honestly man, I don't know if I'd dick with it much. I have Mark Ingram too (PPR), he's averaging over 17 points per week, you can't ask much more than that from where I'm guessing you drafted him. He's been surprisingly great this year as a fantasy back outside of that 1 week. I see a lot of people concerned over Ingram long term, but I think he's going to have a solid year.
I'd see if anyone in your league would be interested in doing a smaller trade and just getting rid of anyone not named AB or Keenan Allen. You aren't going to get as much, but you don't need WR help and this current trade is getting you a huge question mark where you need to upgrade at RB and a guy that's performing worse than his teammate that you already have on your roster. If you're going to get rid of Allen or AB, you need to get a GOOD RB in the deal. Andy Reid already has me worried about West as he just said yesterday that they will likely be a full RBBC to replace Charles now. I didn't pay anything for West other than dropping the backup QB I picked up for Cam Newton's bye week, but you'd be losing one of the best fantasy players in the league that's about to skyrocket with Ben coming back. Don't do it broham.
Thanks.
I declined it after reading all that, but I was seriously considering it before.
It's PPR, and I agree about Reid with the RBBC, and especially since I think Kniles Davis will be the goalline back and vulture some touchdowns.
Brown's saying that he wants Vick to take more downfield shots, so that should increase his value even more. He would have had a huge week last week if he doesn't drop that touchdown pass.
What sucks about this league is the waiver order resets every week like in the real league and goes from the team with the worst record to the best, so I can't improve my team much with any players that are suddenly playing well or are surprising. That means that, if one of my top players gets injured, I can't get his replacement or even improve my team much until I lose enough games to where I'm out of playoff contention and/or all the good players are gone.
He just emailed me saying he understands my rejection and asked if I'm locked in to AB, so I might say yes unless he's wiling to give up Le'Veon Bell, but note that I know he won't do it.
Maybe he would though because he also has Freeman, Foster, Miller and West, and I could argue that Ab and Bell will steal each other's points. Or maybe try to get Freeman.
