Should I accept this trade.

League is PPR, I'm receiving Andre Ellington and Kenbrel Thompkins for Crabtree and Sproles. My Current WRS are D. thomas, A. Jeffery and J. Maclin and My RBS are L. Bell and CJ Spiller. Essentially Ellington would replace crabtree in my starting line up as the flex and I would also be losing depth by giving up sproles

I'm a big fan of Ellington in PPR and think he's a big step up from Sproles. And should also be a step up from Crabtree in the flex.

I like the trade, though you are really trading Crabtree and Sproles for Andre Ellington...unless you're in a really deep league Thompkins is waiver material. Any chance you can counteroffer for a more recognizable late round WR?

you've been offered what i call a 'wedge trade', where the two players you receive are better and worse than the two players you're giving in return. Andre is better than Crabtree but Kenbrel has less potential than Sproles.. I can see both Sproles and Thompkins getting anywhere from 8-14 pts per game, but he is hedging his bet on the amount of receptions that Andre and Kenbrel will receive will be lower than the total of Crab/Sproles.. The best upside is if your league gets pts for return yards, where Sproles will get a few returns here and there.. Crabtree is the 2nd option in the passing game, but his upside is growing.. IMO you're losing some PPR points, but possibly be gaining a few TDs

Crabtree the 2nd optionâ€¦who's ahead of him Davis or Boldin thats a funny joke Crabtree is the most talented by far and Kaep loves him

I like the trade, because you're strong at receiver maybe think about using Kenbrel as trade bait if he begins to surge
