Fantasy football advice needed

[Logic]

Okay, so Saquon Barkley being out for the year has decimated my RB corps.

I currently have Antonio Gibson and Devin Singletary starting. Yeah. Ugly. 

I am being offered Nick Chubb (RB9) and TJ Hockenson (TE9) in exchange for Travis Kelce (TE1) and Devin Singletary (RB32).

Obviously, getting my hands on a top 10 running back in a run-heavy offensive scheme is a great get, AND I still get a top 10 TE (so far) back. On the other hand, giving up TE1 is no easy decision. It just seems like an uphill battle to try to win a fantasy league without any top end running backs.

Does the improvement in production from Singletary to Chubb outweigh the drop-off in production from Kelce to Hockenson? What say you, fantasy experts?

Chubb is losing work to Hunt rn

I mean...Chubb out-carried Hunt in week 2. Hunt is clearly the preferred receiving back, and will see more work if the Browns fall behind.

On the other hand, The Browns under Stefanski are poised to have one of the run heaviest attacks in the NFL.

It's a tough one...

PPR or no

Yes, which I realize limits Chubb's upside. 

Still...I can't stress the terribleness of my current running back depth chart enough. lol. Gibson is still a total wild card, and Singletary's floor is really low most weeks. Hmmm...

make it happen.  I have a suspicion Kelce, may not make it though the year mainly because I have him on my roster.

pick up a free agent like Kelly on LAC

I think I’d take it

Wish I could.

12-team league with more bench spots than usual. There is nothing -- and I mean nothing -- on the waiver wire at RB. 

Conversely, I could land sneaky waiver wire TEs like Jordan Akins (2nd in targets on Texans) or Drew Sample (2nd in targets on Bengals). 

It feels like I'm leaning yes...but trading away a guy like Kelce is tough to pull the trigger on. Then again, getting a guy like Chubb back is hard to turn down.

I’d do it....I drafted Kelce as well and having buyer remorse...not because of his performance but because there have been so many late value TE....I really could have used a top wr in that spot.

Thanks for the response, but may I ask WHY you suggest not doing it?

[EmotionallyUnstable]

Who would you play at TE if you do the deal?

 

nvm: missed the Hock 

One way to look at this: 

 

you’d be losing players on offenses that are top in the league (bills, chiefs) in exchange for players that are with the browns and lions.

 

which offenses would you rather have a piece of?

Are you a high school guidance counselor?

While we’re at it, what do you think of this:

 

Kenyan Drake for Chris Godwin in a .5 PPR league?

[Chef Jim]

Ummmmm...................

Tough call, but I’d do it.  Despite Hunt’s touches, Chubb gets his yards every week and he scored TDs.

 

Hockenson also has potential to be very good.

It’s only two weeks, but at least add up the points coming in versus going out in your starting lineup. And then ask yourself what direction do you think the trend is going to be

That's a tough one.

I tend to think of good running backs as harder to come by than good receivers.

Drake had an ADP at the top of the 2nd round. Godwin at the bottom. 

I suppose it would depend on what else you have at each respective position. 

This website has it pretty close, too:
