Sell high on Ellington?

The brutal second half schedule and recent Stephan Taylor TD vulturing have me wondering if it's time to sell high on Ellington. Would like to upgrade at TE if possible as well. Haven't proposed any trades yet, but am considering the following:

Ellington and Kelce for L. Miller and A. Gates
Ellington and Kelce for A. Morris and A. Gates
Ellington and Kelce for B. Tate and G. Olsen

Would you do any of these deals? Which scenario helps me the most?

My Team is:

QB:
Rivers
Kaep

RB:
Forte
Gio
J. Bel
J. Hill
B. Sankey

WR:
D. Thomas
J. Jones
J. Edelman
Mi. Floyd
B. Quick

TE:
Kelce

Sankey on the way out, Mike Wallace on the way in. Trade goes through tomorrow.

Sorry for the long winded question. Thanks in advance!

Is this PPR or standard?

If you are skeptical about Ellington I would go for this trade: Ellington and Kelce for B. Tate and G. Olsen

Olsen is one pace to have an incredible year. He is Cam's security blanket and I don't see him slowing down any bit. As long as Ben Tate stays healthy he is a good grab. You might want to handcuff him with Crowell if you have the bench space. That is the best of the trades you threw out there as Olsen is the #2 TE behind Julius in fantasy through week 7.

This. Totally this. I'm not bullish on Ellington--you're right about the brutal schedule--but don't read TOO much into the TD vulturing. Ellington at least claims it was to reward Taylor for working his tail off in practice this past week. Ellington will cede some red zone carries, but probably not to the extent he did yesterday.

I like Ellington and Kelce better than all those offers you're considering.

I own Ellington and I'm going to ride him until the wheels fall off.
