McKinnon for Eifert

[PenguinHunter]

10 team Standard scoring league start 2 RB and one flex

my Rbs - Lacy Ingram Gordon and McKinnon
my TE - Pitta (had to stop Thomas because he was not playing)

should I trade McKinnon for Eifert

Or should I keep McKinnon and just stream tight ends for the year. Hopefully grab Thomas when he is back.

Might not want to be going for Eifert just yet…

I'd do the deal to get Eifert. His value will be lower while he is sidelined but definitely will be on the rise once he is back in the action. You're making this move for strength later in the season/playoffs and given your RBs, you have enough depth to do so. Then drop Pitta and pick up another RB.

--Edit--
Like DeAndre Washington who will be the starting back in Oakland this weekend and gets a juicy matchup with San Diego.

With this recent injury news how long until Eifert is back?

Two other thoughts I had:

1) Pick up Thomas now that he is guaranteed to start next week and just play Pitt this week.
2) Pick up Hunter Henry this week play him. Use waiver claim on Thomas next week and if I do not get him, revisit the Eifert trade. The other owner is a Vikings fan so he really wants Mckinnon.

Does one of these seem like a better option?

I'd rather own Eifert than Thomas...both are injury risks but I don't trust Thomas as much. Eifert getting mixed reviews on whether he is playing or not which makes everything more dicey. Lacy and Gordon are not great but serviceable this week. I'd be more tempted to do the deal now and get it over with. Then again, in football I don't like to wait on trades since injuries are always a high possibility (especially for RBs) that this offer might not be available to you in 3 days.

Only issue with Henry is if Gates (questionable) plays, it'll cut into his ability to get targets (he'll still play but will be used more as a blocker).
