Trading Julio Jones

[jwlincy]

14 team 0.5PPR league. I'm 1-2 but the 2nd highest scoring team in the league (thanks mainly to Julio Jones and his league leading 29.0pts per game)

I'm thinking about trying to deal Julio Jones & I wanted to get some opinions. Julio is off to a huge start so I was thinking of trying to deal him for another stud WR plus some other upgrades at other positions (or a stud RB and a lesser WR). Here is my roster:

QB (start 1): Ryan Tannehill, Alex Smith
RB (start 1): Joseph Randle, T.J. Yeldon, Andre Ellington, David Johnson
WR (start 2): Julio Jones, Allen Robinson, Dorial Green-Beckham, Kelvin Benjamin
RB/WR/TE (start 1): Of remaining RB/WR/TEs.
TE (start 1): Coby Fleener
K (start 1): Matt Bryant
DEF (start 1): Carolina & Baltimore

Here are the teams that I'm targeting:

Team 1
QB: M. Ryan
RB: Bernard, Gordon, Sproles, T. Coleman
WR: Beckham, Cobb, Cal. Johnson, T. Williams, Dorsett
TE: M. Bennett, Clay
K: Catanzaro
DEF: BUF
-Was thinking something like Julio, Yeldon & Fleener for Beckham, Bernard (or Gordon) and Bennett (or Clay)

Team 2
QB: R. Fitzpatrick, Vick, Winston
RB: D. Freeman, Hyde, Forsett, D. Williams
WR: A.J. Green, Wallace, A. Johnson
TE: Gronkowski, Cook
K: McManus
DEF: IND
-Was thinking A.J. Green & Forsett or Hyde or Freeman for Julio & Yeldon

Team 3
QB: Newton, Roethlisberger
RB: Charles, Foster, T. Mason, K. Davis
WR: D. Thomas, D. Bryant, M. Evans, Watkins, Crabtree
TE: Kelce
K: Hauschka
DEF: STL
-Was thinking of D. Thomas, Dez & Foster for Julio, Yeldon & another player. Or Demaryius & Dez for Julio (this would be wave the white flag trade where I'd try to flip Demaryius & Dez for draft picks).

Team 4
QB: Brees, D. Carr
RB: Forte, McCoy, Woodhead, D. Martin
WR: Marshall, Fitzgerald, J. Matthews, M. Bryant, D. Adams
TE: J. Graham
K: Crosby
DEF: SEA
-Marshall & Forte for Julio & Yeldon?

Team 5
QB: E. Manning, Bridgewater
RB: C.J. Anderson, Ingram, Blount, M. Jones
WR: A. Brown, S. Smith, G. Tate, Agholor
TE: Cameron, Ebron
K: Bailey
DEF: CIN
-A. Brown, Ingram & Ebron for Julio, Yeldon & Fleener?

Team 6
QB: Brady, T. Taylor
RB: L. Bell, L. Miller, R. Mathews,
WR: Cooper, Landry, K. Wright, M. Jones, J. Nelson, B. Coleman
TE: Eifert
K: Gano
DEF: MIN
-Cooper & L. Bell for Julio & Yeldon?

Which are the best possible trade partners (just trying to narrow this down a bit more) Am I close on any of my possible offers (or way off base on any)?

I realize that this is a long question but I appreciate any input.

Is this a keeper league?

I'd be hard-pressed to trade Jones, but if that's the way you want to go, let's take a look at your proposals:

Tm 1 - -Was thinking something like Julio, Yeldon & Fleener for Beckham, Bernard (or Gordon) and Bennett (or Clay)
Not bad.

Tm 2 - -Was thinking A.J. Green & Forsett or Hyde or Freeman for Julio & Yeldon
I'd go Forsett, then Hyde. Not Freeman. Not sure he'd bite.

Tm 3 - -Was thinking of D. Thomas, Dez & Foster for Julio, Yeldon & another player. Or Demaryius & Dez for Julio (this would be wave the white flag trade where I'd try to flip Demaryius & Dez for draft picks).
I don't think Tm 3 goes for this.

Tm 4 - -Marshall & Forte for Julio & Yeldon?
Nice RB upgrade but too much of a WR downgrade. Pass.

Tm 5 - -A. Brown, Ingram & Ebron for Julio, Yeldon & Fleener?
No way Tm 5 does this.

Tm 6 - -Cooper & L. Bell for Julio & Yeldon?
No way Tm 6 does this.

This is a keeper league but we only can keep 1 player each season (they move up 3 rounds from where they were drafted). Julio can't be kept since I drafted him in the 1st round this year.

The reason that I'm shopping Jones is due to his injury risk. Plus I thought if I can get an upgrade at RB and/or TE, it might make some sense so that all my eggs aren't in the same basket. Thanks for your input.

Team 1 won't trade Beckham because he's eligible to be a 4th round keeper next year. He said that I could have Cobb or Calvin instead.

Would Cobb, Bernard (or Gordon) and Bennett (or Clay) be a fair return for Julio, Yeldon (or Ellington) & Fleener?
