MJAlltheWay24 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 What do you think is Chris Thompson's value? I have the first claim in our league (ours doesn't reset each week. Once you pick, you move to the back of the line). I am debating on using it on Chris Thompson, even though I don't really need another RB, but why not have depth? Ideally, I'd like to flip him into a WR by trading him or trading Ingram to get at least a WR 3, but maybe even a WR2. 1) So is Chris Thompson worth using the top waiver claim? I think so but curious what ya'll say. 2) What level of WR do you think I should look to get in a trade for him, if possible? Current roster (non-PPR): QB Wilson QB Stafford RB Gurley RB Montgomery RB McCaffrey RB Ingram RB Rawls WR Evans WR Baldwin WR Marshall WR Crowder WR Agholor TE Ertz K Bryant Miami D (dropping fro Thompson) Packers D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NamecipS Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 You should be able to package Thompson and Ingram and get a decent WR2 or very low end WR1. But you'd have to do it while Thompson's value is hot AND convince whoever that Ingram is going to have a great second half of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatNate Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Thompson is on fire and if your league is as thin at RB as the league's I am in I would add him. I am not sure about the trade. Every league is different. Often trades are more about the owners and less about the players. The league's I am in I think Thompson goes for a third tier WR.

I need to keep at least one of those two in case someone gets hurt and my top two have the same bye week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have an offer on the table from an owner, giving me Chris Hogan for Thompson. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NamecipS Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I think I have an offer on the table from an owner, giving me Chris Hogan for Thompson. Thoughts? It's going to be a crapshoot at WR for the Patriots. You never know which one will be fantasy relevant. How often do you think you'd start Hogan over Marshall and Crowder? But then again, can't see you starting Thompson over Gurley, Montgomery or McCaffery either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am trying to strike while it's hot. Especially since I'm basically dropping a defense to grab Thompson. I just feel like I need a little more depth at the WR position. Crowder has been a total let down. Marshall showed a glimmer this week but he's sucked too. I'm trying to talk myself into feeling good about Hogan as a WR3, and I think I do. Not sure I can get anything from other owners from looking at rosters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJAlltheWay24 Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Maybe seeing if I can get Emmanuel Sanders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NamecipS Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 @NamecipS, you pull the trigger if you can get Sanders for Thompson. Don't you? Because you are looking for WR depth, yes. Sanders is a good 3Wr right now. He'll give you sporadic booms. Denvers QB is still a work in progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would play Hogan over Marshall and Crowder ever week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatNate Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I like Hogan as much as Sanders. But I would make either deal. Adding WR depth makes your team better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless my buddy backs out on me, I will be getting Emmanuel Sanders Thursday morning after Thompson clears waivers. Basically grabbing Sanders off the waiver wire. Not bad.
