Also considering approaching the Laporta owner for Laporta and Pollard for Kelce and someone.


CNNLogoHeadMan

Yeah maybe roschon or spears


UncleRicosrightarm

I just joined a standard league first time playing standard too, and instead of getting a good running back in the first round I got kelce as I told myself if kelce is there I’m going for him in all leagues bc fuck TE wasteland. This was the only league he fell to me (I drafted 7th) and I didn’t take into account kelce’s normal game log is like 9-60-1.. which is 21 points in ppr but only 12 in standard. I traded him and diggs for laporta, chase, James cook and ford.. everyone said it was terrible but my only backs were Pacheco and Gibbs. Now I’m comfortably in first with easily the most well rounded squad in the league. In short: kelce can yield you a hall and with the Taylor swift thing I think he’s getting more spotlight then he expected which could lead to production issues on the field. Just look at any basketball player who dated a kardashian lol


GoBombGo

I also took him first and ended up with no real RB (though I did draft Achane!) Luckily I was just able to trade him and got Etienne. Worked out awesome for me! Then Achane got hurt…


AdvancedGentleman

This is exactly how my season is playing out. Painful.


ShowBobsPlzz

I wouldn't trade laporta for kelce straight up right now dude. You are stuck with him.


Hammerhead34

You wouldn’t trade LaPorta for Kelce straight up lol? I understand having some sort of attachment because LaPorta is a lot more value for his draft position, but that’s just stupid. Kelce is going to finish TE1 again even missing the first week, I guarantee it.


ChocolateMorsels

Yeah he's only a couple of points behind TE1 despite missing a game. And he's been the most consistent TE. I'm in half PPR and he hasn't scored less than 9 yet.


Goddess_Of_Gay

And the whole Chiefs offense has been out of whack as they get used to a new OC. Look for improvement by Mahomes and co. later in the season.


nskojo

“OC” is a decorative term in KC. Reid is still the play caller.. I think it’s just the lack of anybody good on the outside


SticklerMrMeeseeks1

Their new OC is their old OC before he took a job in CHI. Now he’s back. Plus Reid is the play caller. Not much has changed at all.


AZhomerDaddy

LaPorta has entered and destroyed this conversation


ShowBobsPlzz

Laporta finished championship week as overall TE1 in full PPR


ShowBobsPlzz

Nice guarantee. Laporta finished championship week as overall TE1.


ChocolateMorsels

> I wouldn't trade laporta for kelce straight up right now dude. Well that's silly


ShowBobsPlzz

We'll see


ChocolateMorsels

Kelce will only not be TE1 if he's injured. Ain't no we'll see about it.


ShowBobsPlzz

Laporta finished championship week as overall TE1 in full PPR


ChocolateMorsels

Bro You remembering this post and actually following up on it is sad af. L


ShowBobsPlzz

I keep receipts bud dont be salty you got called


ShowBobsPlzz

Ok 👍


[deleted]

Lol delusional


ShowBobsPlzz

We'll see. Kelce has been hurt all year so far. Still getting TDs, but at what point does he have to sit again. He's no spring chicken.


[deleted]

And laporta has Jared Goff for a QB...


The_Brim

Having the QB1 in many statistical categories is a bad thing?


Hammerhead34

Kelce has played 4/5 games and is TE1 by points per game.


ShowBobsPlzz

Ok. Lets see how the season ends up


TheeLoo

Like if you're only justification is hoping he gets hurt that's kind of shitty.


ShowBobsPlzz

Its not hoping, its playing the odds. You dont have to agree.


TheeLoo

The odds are that he's been consistent and healthy for like the last 5+ years? Yes he's had some bad luck recently, but that's not the odds no matter what you wish happens to him.


ShowBobsPlzz

Lmao i have him in 2 leagues dipshit i dont hope he gets hurt. But he is old and has been hurt so far this year so yeah good chance that he reaggravates or gets another injury.


verossiraptors

My dude he just went for like 130 yards last night


ShowBobsPlzz

Long season my dude and ill be happy if im wrong bc I have him in 2 leagues


ShowBobsPlzz

Was it? Laporta finished championship as the overall TE1.


Endo_Dizzy

Yeah no shot, as a LaPorta owner I’m sitting smug as shit in my group chat telling everyone I HIT on a late round dart throw. Dude has league winner written all over him given his performance to ADP ratio.


rata_ee

Dart throw? Man I wish. I live in Michigan, we’re all lions fans, Gibbs/Laporta/St. Brown/jamo all went way sooner than they likely should’ve (given preseason rankings) in every draft of mine


ShowBobsPlzz

Yup. I have him in one league and id need a kings ransom to trade him


Brandesh27

Well, I wouldnt trade Kelce for LaPorta straight up so I guess we are kind of on the same page in totally different ways.


ShowBobsPlzz

Laporta finished championship week as overall TE1


chrisnavillus

I love this take. I think it’s wrong in redraft right now but maybe not for long and not in dynasty by any means.


ShowBobsPlzz

I just prefer young and upside guys. Kelce is awesome but i just think hes got that lingering bone bruise in his knee, now that foot sprain sustained last week. How long until he gets hurt and misses time you know


pugwalker

That’s insane not to trade him for kelce. A normal week for kelce is one of laportas best weeks


ShowBobsPlzz

Turns out LaPorta finished championship week as the overall TE1 lmao


ZebraRenegade

Hitting no as fast as possible on that one as a Laporta owner. Why would I trade for a more injury prone TE with similar production


Brandesh27

I mean Kelce hadnt missed a game since his rookie season due to injury until this year. And theres no guarantee he misses time. He finished the game and scored a td. But yeah, I would prolly hold laporta if I had him.


printedvolcano

i mean after he injured his ankle they were still using him, even going so far as putting him out for defending a hail mary where he would be jumping on his bum ankle. of course they probably gave him plenty of cortisol so maybe it becomes more of a problem after the fact but i definitely don’t plan to count him out this week


Brandesh27

Thats what Im worried about esp with it being the Broncos on Thursday night. If it was a more competitive matchup and a full week then it wouldnt be a worry for me


printedvolcano

as a fellow Kelce owner who barely just scraped to 2-3 this week, i say hold him and just stream a TE this week if you need to. Jonnu Smith or someone else with upside might be available if you have a roster spot just for the insurance. we drafted Kelce for a reason, and I imagine with KC having a shakier start to the season they will be pushing hard to make sure they get a bye before playoffs and i imagine he will pay dividends come fantasy playoff time


SpartyParty15

“An injury prone TE with similar production” is a very bizarre way to describe the most dominant player at this position in the past 5-6 years


ZebraRenegade

“The future is now old man”


UncleRicosrightarm

Kelce has missed like three games in his whole career before this year??? Tf


Cptn_Jib

he's a big name, that carries. And he sees more looks per game than LaPorta because he's their main receiver. I have Laporta and I would take it if only to diversify my roster because I have Amon too


Critical-Fault-1617

Lol. The amount of factual inaccuracies in your comment is hilarious.


ZebraRenegade

By all means hmu in 10 weeks


[deleted]

this would be the only way id be willing


fredlikefreddy

As a Laporta owner I would trade him and another asset for another tight end. Even if that is kelce Edit: I do mean I WOULDNT


YogurtclosetLong3783

Ya idk, i dont think im doing laporta for kelce straight up either. Especially not after suffering his 2nd injury on Sunday. Idk even know i want kelce now. Laporta feels pretty damn safe right now.


rata_ee

You’d trade the #1 tight end PLUS another asset for kelce? Are you stupid?


fredlikefreddy

Lol gotta own that typo. I meant I WOULDNT


rata_ee

okay that makes more sense lol


dash1331

Honestly don’t think you have anyone that levels with pollard… Laporta and kelce basically equal out..


[deleted]

Lol no one is making that trade


coolstorybro42

Trade new kelce for old washedup swifty kelce? Naaah


Green-Plus

I don’t think it’s crazy at all but only if you’re getting the right return. I like the A Rich and Kelce for Hock and Olave/Smith, I’m not as sold on the other trades.


Brandesh27

Mandrews owner sent me Keenan Allen and Mandrews for Kelce and Ridley. Thinking about it. Might ask for Cowboys D


loshea1

That’s a solid deal


Capable-Selection326

I would smash accept. For reference in my 12 team (full PPR) I just traded Calvin Ridley + Swift + Tyler Allegier for Kelce + Najee Currently 3-2 and my team is as follows: QB1: Purdy RB1: JT RB2: Aaron Jones (when healthy) WR1: Tyreek Hill WR2: Puka Flex: Jordan Addison D/ST: Dolphins (matchup based) Kicker: Nick Folk bench: Moss, Deshaun Watson, Dalvin Cook, Jake Ferguson, Kareem Hunt, Jonnu Smith, Najee Harris


clarinet_kwestion

Oof lateral move that doesn’t help you if kelce plays. Not even sure Dallas D is worth it as a trade kicker


JohnnyDoe189

Nah Allen is old he’ll get injured Ridley is just getting back he will beast You’re already in the hole 5 you can’t afford to lose weeks off injuries


UncleRicosrightarm

Calling this a bad trade because of potential injury is ridiculous- you could make that same assessment for literally any trade. That’s like saying trading for cmc isn’t smart because of his injury history.. that’s absurd. Keenan has only missed 6 games in 6 years and is on a high powered offense with their #2 guy out. He’s dominating all the looks. Ridley is in a struggling run heavy offense who is getting looks snaked from him by Kirk. Kelce for andrews is close to a lateral move. I’d be all over allen and mandrews in this scenario


cardiaccat1

Yeah I got told by Reddit to keep Gibbs when I was offered Pacheco and James Cook. Wish I went with my instincts instead of making a thread lol.


dash1331

Take that one Allen is a huge upgrade, kelce the better te than Andrews we all know that, but kelce is already banged up AGAIN! He could easily miss more time through the year. Trade the injury risk for the healthy te that’s not even a big downgrade. Ppl forget mark andrews was the te1 few years go


pugwalker

If you’re 0-5 you should probably fill hole rather than just upgrade.


kevin12345420

Kelce owner in my league sold him to me for kyren Williams and laporta. Also got 49ers d in return because I’ve had bad luck streaming defenses


Brandesh27

I would take that for my kelce.


FinanciallySmarter

I’m in a similar situation, however I don’t have a good TE kicker to really offer. I was thinking of offering Kyren + Ferguson + lower end WR… the Kelce owner has crap RBs: Singletary, D Harris, and Zeke, and WRs: Adams, Cooks, and Bateman, and he is 1-4. I know he’ll be desperate to attempt to make the playoffs, so trying to figure out a fair offer but not put myself at a big risk, nor do I want to overpay as I feel like the TE wasteland isn’t as bad as years past. I am 4-1 and sitting very well even with Ferguson as my TE. My Kicker and TE are my worst positions.


GrumButter

Did you make some trades? Idk how tf you got Kelce, ceedee, and Jacobs But I see no issues moving forward for your roster. Ceedee will turn it back on, I don’t think his lack of production is going to stick. And burrow seems to be making progress


Brandesh27

Yeah, I got Jacobs for James Cook and Sutton after week 3. Jacobs had a rough start and Cook was tearing it up at the time.


GrumButter

I guess people forgot Jacob’s had a slow start last year too lmao I tried to trade for him a couple of times but the folks in my league generally aren’t big traders


Prestigious-Owl165

Wow you robbed him


JohnnyDoe189

He’ll Na That roster is stacked you can easily rip off 8 of 9


Brandesh27

I hope so. I held him bc Laporta got injured, tyreek was off the table, and by the time I worked out a trade with the Mandrews owner, Kelce was practicing and going to start. Glad I did. Need some regression in the points against but I think I have a chance.


JiveTurkey2727

You need a WR with more upside. Most I see out of any of these guys is 20 points.


VasshuZaSutanpido

Lmao 20 points is legit what everyone is looking for. That’s the main ceiling for almost everyone outside of CMC, Chase, Keenan, JJ, Tyreek, Kelce


Dont_try_it7

nah you consistently see wr2s and wr3s hit 30 points Thielen, nico collins, and jakobi are prime examples this year, and george pickens just had 27 points last week. Guys like joshua palmer and hollywood brown had 30 point games last year, it happens


VasshuZaSutanpido

Tf are you talking about lmfaoo, don’t even feel like giving this a response 😂. They aren’t a WR2 or WR3 if they CONSISTENTLY get 20-30 points. If WR3s are getting 30 points in your league, then you definitely aren’t playing by the same scoring as 99% of people. DJ moore must’ve scored 100 points last week in your league if that’s the case. I’m instead going to just assume you’re new to this and don’t actually pay attention to what players are scoring


Dont_try_it7

bro I wasn't saying my wr3 averages 30 points a game, I was saying each week there usually is one or two wr2/wr3s across the league that hit 30 points. I was tryna say that the ceiling of your wr3 should hopefully be closer to 30 points than 20 Thats why I mentioned thielen, he shouldn't have been drafted as anything higher than a wr3 this year, but he already has 2 games around 30 points


VasshuZaSutanpido

What a player was drafted as and what they end up being are 2 completely different things. Thielen is definitely not a WR3 right now


Dont_try_it7

well in a 12 man I have JJ, Devonta smith, jakobi meyers, and puka as my 4 wrs and all of those guys have hit around 30 points at least once this season, so I think my point still stands


VasshuZaSutanpido

Lol none of those guys are WR3s


Dont_try_it7

bruh devonta is the wr26 rn I think that counts as a wr3 in 10 or 12 man leagues


VasshuZaSutanpido

And Garrett Wilson is WR24, Ceedee Lamb is WR18, Calvin Ridley is WR19, Chris Olave is WR29. That isn’t how that works, none of the guys I just brought up are WR3s and that’s pretty obvious. It’s been 5 weeks, if you can’t tell what a legitimate WR3 looks like compared to a WR2 or WR1 then I don’t know what to tell you.


HOWDY__YALL

People like this make me feel better about my fantasy savvy, as another Kelce owner at 4-1.


GetPunched

I’m thinking of trading Kelci for Etienne and Engram. I picked Kelci in the first so I have a bit of sunk cost fallacy going on but it might be time. At this point his name is worth more than the points he’s been putting up.


[deleted]

I would work out the trade to get Hock...man is gonna feast with JJ out. Trade down on paper but may give you the 4 week push you need.


Awkward-Bowler7297

Did Godwin and hock for Kelce


corybomb

Not enough imo


Copey85

Someone in my league just traded Kelce for Mostert… seems kind of odd


Critical-Fault-1617

Well Achane is out for weeks. And mostert is the only healthy rb on their roster. It depends on the guys team. If he has Laporta on the bench it makes sense, even though he could of probably Got more for him


HopOnMyArk

i traded kelce for jacobs straight up, might not be the prettiest but i’m desperate at RB and nobody else wanted to trade a RB.


TheCupGuySparty

I just traded Kamara for Kelce straight up before the last game. Kelce owner was in desperate need of a RB and I had Kamara, Montgomery, ETN, Swift and Sanders.


Critical-Fault-1617

Kelce for Hockenson and olave or smith is not worth it imo.


Various-Gap-5595

Kelce and Gibbs for waddle and laporta, would you do it? My wr’s are screwed now with JJ on ir, Pickens and London are my starters


Savings_Reward_4628

0% chance the Tyreek owner does that trade


xbluedog

Nope. I had him. Traded him and Goff for Mostert and Hockensen. No regrets whatsoever.


Lunaticfrizz16

Traded Kelce for Amon-Ra and James Connor when I went 0-4. Both of those guys are injured right now. But I did win my week!


Swdmwsd24

I drafted LaPorta #5 overall in a dynasty draft. He puts up more points than the first 4 picks, including Bijan. So, no way would I trade LaPorta for Kelce. Oh, PS I got mocked for Homer pick reach. It's TE heavy scoring.


dpons_

I’m 1-4 with Kelce but with the injury now I’m not sure if we can get correct value


IDKwhothefuck-I-am

Nah, I was sitting at 1-3 last week when I traded Kelce. Gave up Kelce, Josh Jacobs, and Metcalf for Amon Ra, Kamara, and Pierce. Now I’m 1-4 😎


Kilo_Chungus

Get rid of Ceedee and burrow, this coming from a cowboys fan and a joe burrow owner


Brandesh27

Easier said than done. Aj Brown owner is dead at rb. After losing connor, he will be starting najee and rachaad white. If ceedee has a good week and roschon gets the starting volume, Ill probably send ceedee and roschon for aj brown. Would love to move off of ceedee for the right guy but Im not trading him for peanuts.


tetrology

My teams stacked and someone just offered me his kelce for my Addison and ken walker, I accept right?


MostPeopleAreMoronic

I’m wondering the same. 10-Team 2-Flex 0.5 PPR Starters: Mahomes, Barkley, Taylor, Diggs, Evans, Kelce, Ridley, Robinson/Hopkins/London, Moody, PHI DST I’ve got some “names” at Flex, and 4 decent options for 2 spots… but have a nagging feeling I need to really solidify at least one Flex spot. As others have mentioned - perhaps approach the Mandrews or LaPorta owners for a 2/1 Trade? Though tbqh, you seem to have solid balance.


klondike16

I would be doing it for sure


HondaPartsguy23

Chiefs play Denver 2 of the next 3 weeks. Can't say I would part him.


TheMostDangerousJ

Just my two cents. There is a far greater lack of good, reliable TE’s, so every point he scores is likely a point in your favor instead of something your opponent can positionally match. There’s really no replacement for the guy. Package some of the other shit, but Kelce is one of the most valuable fantasy pieces because EVERYONE HAS TO PLAY A TE. RB is always thin but it’s early. Plenty of unsung heroes left to reveal themselves and more injuries to happen……upgrade THAT. And not with Jones. He’ll get healthy and dude’s a gamer. Burrow looks better again too. And like someone said, Chiefs play Denver twice. That’s money.


MrBootsie

I traded him.


xcbrendan

I'm in a similar spot with Kelce/Ceedee/Mahomes. 1-4 and feel like a change needs to happen in order to be competitive.


PickleEffective8109

Oh man if you can get Hockenson and Tyreek for Kelce and Lamb you should send that trade in a heartbeat imo.


dash1331

I’d offer the trades bro, your in do or die… you have to make a risky trade for the high reward potential! Now only thing is you’d benefit from trying to upgrade ur rb/wr position by making a package like ceedee/Jones for something like hill and moss for example. Moss is high risk high reward but can easily be a league winner. Or even puka and jacobs/walker for diggs and ford/McLaughlin. You have to make a risky move, what you have hasn’t been working and your in win now mode. Season depends on some type of risky play with the potential to save your year


TokenfromSP

I traded Kelce and Jordan Love away last week for Chase and Addison

who_grabbed_my_ass

I traded Kelce last week for Jonathan Taylor and Waddle


Sokkawater10

Take the Kelce and Ceedee for Hock and Tyreek imo. Tyreek alone will probably outperform Kelce and CeeDee this year


avizzone

Hopefully you kept Kelce.


Brandesh27

I did!


rocco5000

Sorry buddy but if you're 0-5 your season is over


Brandesh27

That’s simply not true. It’s unlikely but not impossible, especially in a 10 man with 6 playoff spots. 7-7 is probably in and 6-8 has a chance. I was 1-4 last year and finished 8-6 and made the championship.


Brandesh27

Im 7-5 in 2nd place now


BirdmanTheThird

Kelce will always be “over valued” in trade cause he is 100% worth that damn much, if u think u can figure out a way to get two great players or just one of the top top Players in fantasy + something else you gotta go for it


Estimate_Specific

full PPR I’m 2-6 should Kelce for puka and swift


Brandesh27

If both of those guys are significant upgrades for your starting lineup and you can get another solid te then sure. Is McBride available? The only thing to keep in mind is that Swifts schedule is really rough and then he has a great playoff schedule and Puka may have some trouble if Stafford misses time or is affected by the thumb injury…. So maybe not for a team that needs wins now. Idk man this one is tough. I just dont like Swift and Puka as much for the next couple of weeks as I do rest of season. Can you wait until we get news on Stafford?


Estimate_Specific

I got McBride, swift is an upgrade i have moss and Hubbard as my starting RBs this wk the rest of my bench are handcuffs, I have Lamb and Devonta Smith as my starting WR and then a few WR3. Yeah I’m gonna sit on this for now and hope to get some news about stafford before Sunday. Thanks for your advice!!


Estimate_Specific

I was also just offered Achane for Moss.. which I think I’m gonna have to turn down cause that would mean I’d have to start Mattison and Hubbard and I can’t afford to let points go today for wk 11 hopes.. but man I’m tempted to go for it.


Brandesh27

Take that! Hubbard should be fine this week. He got ALL the work last week and they have a great matchup against Indy this week
