    Default A Brown for M Thomas (Trade Deadline Tomorrow)

    I'm in a 12 team, 4 player keeper league (PPR). It's an old full keeper league with no penalties for your four keeper choices. I have the opportunity to acquire Antonio Brown for Michael Thomas. I can't decide if it's worth giving up the age for this increased production. Current relevant roster...

    QB (start 1): R. Wilson, K. Cousins
    RB (start 2): L. McCoy, K. Hunt, C. Hyde
    WR (start 3): J. Jones, M. Thomas, K. Allen, G. Tate
    TE (start 1): R. Gronkowski, K. Rudolph
    FLEX (start 1): above mentioned
    DST: Ravens/Steelers
    K: Gostkowski

    My team is absolutely stacked, but I'm only 5-4 thanks to some ridiculous schedule bad luck (which happens every year). My keepers are all aging aside from Hunt. Do I go all in with Brown? Or do I start to make my keepers younger and build around Hunt and Thomas?

    PS Trade deadline is tomorrow at noon.

    I mean.....how much do you value a title?? Have you won recently. You definitely are stacked.

    Also when are your playoffs?? Steelers play Balt, NE, Houston in weeks 14-16. That's an unreal schedule. I might do it just for that.

    I've never won this league. I have an astounding curse that I haven't been able to shake. I definitely value a title above all.

    Playoffs are week 14-16.

    In a PPR I would get Brown. Don't worry about getting older in a keep 4. And remember, the oldest players in this equation isn't Brown, it's Brees.

    Brown >> Thomas. No brainer here. Regardless of age, get the superstar.

    No question for me. I take Brown in a heartbeat.

    I'm with the others. Especially in fantasy football, do all you can to pounce for a title when the opportunity presents itself. Age isn't in the only thing that can derail a once promising roster and slam shut the championship window in a flash.

    Good luck!

    Thanks all. Going to tell him I'm in. We'll see if he really goes through with it.
