How would you value Gronk?

**The Bad Guy** · 09-24-2014, 08:01 PM

I'm 1-2 and have Kelce on my bench. I'm getting heavy interest in Gronk right now and would like to get a solid-good WR2 and a possible RB3 for him.

I rejected Mike Wallace and DMC for him already.

A guy texted me that he'd be interested in either trading Edelman/Bush for Gronk and a filler RB or Jordy Nelson for Gronk if I could include a RB with him.

I'm torn on his value right now. He's going to have a monster game before long, but Reggie Wayne as my WR2 and Miles Austin as my WR3 just isn't cutting it right now. Dez is my 1.

Is the Edelman/Bush (I'm not thrilled with Reggie) good enough for Gronk/Gerhart (I'd just like to dump him at this point)?

I'm leaning toward yes, but wanted to solicit some opinions.

Yikes.

I understand the need to upgrade that WR2 position, but I think that's selling pretty low.

Gronk for Jordy straight up would be a fair deal, IMO. But if he's going to make you throw in a RB, throw in Gerhart. Dude is worthless. Maybe ask for a depth RB back to balance things out roster wise.

At this point, I think Reggie Bush is more of a crapshoot than Gronk.

IMO, you've got to get someone back that can win a week for you, because Kelce sure as shit isn't going to do it. You're getting rid of a guy that will score 20+ several weeks out of the year.

Im a big fan of Edelman in PPR and would be tempted to take that, but Im not a huge Gronk fan, think the injuries might have taken their toll.

I have Edelman in 2 leagues (0.5 PPR in both I think) and is averaging 15+ in both (but for some reason is ranked as the 10th WR in one and 6th in the other)

**OnTheWarpath15** · 09-24-2014, 08:25 PM

Good point. PPR or standard? Makes a difference here.

Gerhart absolutely is worthless. I knew as soon as I made the pick that I was buying fools gold. It's a 14-team league and I had a lapse in judgement.

I'm going to see if I can get Gronk for Jordy and go from there.

Full point PPR. 14-team league.

Wow. That makes it a tougher call for Edelman and Bush.

Who are your other RB's, and who are his other RB's?

Id take Edelman straight up. But thats just me. If you can give him a nothing RB and get Bush, even better.

My other RBs are Trent Richardson, Fred Jackson, Mark Ingram, Carlos Hyde and Knile.

His are Marshawn, Reggie Bush, Bishop Sankey, Dexter McCluster and Denard Robinson.

Waiting for him to text me back. I think getting Bush and Edelman would be my best bet.

Just FYI, according to the trade chart, Gronk is a 30 and Edelman is a 27. Bush is 13, so that would be "fair" if you added a 10 RB (Khiry Robinson, Jeremy Hill, Carlos Hyde, Ryan Matthews)

What chart do you use?

**OnTheWarpath15** · 09-24-2014, 08:51 PM

Those value charts are going to be useless in a 2-for-1 deal unless TBG is going to be starting the players he's getting every week.

Looks like he is, so as much as I hate relying on Reggie Bush, I'd take that deal.
