    Who do you guys like in ppr? Either player would be just an upside guy at the end of my bench.

    Tough. Ellington probably, but it's a high risk move. Hopkins is still a player I think can thrive in 1-2 years, though. Ellington is a home run or strike out, though, know that. AZ coaching can do that to a RB.

    So Smitty, you think Ellington has higher reward if used correctly? Neither of them are needs so im kinda looking for the home run. I own Hopkins and sounds like Ellington owner will only move him for Hopkins. Tried Mathews/Edelman and Tate/Edelman and although close, no dice.

    Well, one move I made with Hopkins, who again I like a lot, was where I sent him and David Wilson for Keenan Allen. David Wilson won't get you anything by himself, but if you put him in a package deal, people let it put trades over the top for them.

    I try for Keenan first, he seems attainable this way, Hopkins and some... then, yes, I take the change on Ellington if you don't need Hopkins, but just know the risk is a lot greater. A lot. Hopkins will be good I think, I don't question that. How good? Tough to say. Ellington is 50/50 for me, because of the coaches, not him... but yes, he has high, high ceiling and huge, huge bust factor.

    Good idea going after Allen. I currently have the Allen owner on the fence with Mathews, JT and my 2.9. So I will see where that goes first. Ideally Iwould like to aquire both Allen and Ellington. Thanks a ton fellas!!

    I think alot of people feel as though JT is a product of Peyton. Thats how I see it anyway. He is a top 5 TE until Manning leaves. 1-2 more years.

    I really think now is a good time to be buying Hopkins. No one is really thinking about the impact a new qb and coach will have. But one is coming and it will help him out tremendously IMO.
    Bold Predictions:
    Cordarelle Patterson replaces Josh Gordon in the top 5 WR group.
    (Julio, Calvin, AJG, CP, and Dez)

    Lattimore is a different throw in than David Wilson, that is a lot closer. I probably favor Lattimore/Hopkins, I think Lattimore could be a stud if everything goes well this year for him. By midseason, I bet he get some good run. By 2015, this is a guess, I predict he starts. Lots of guess work, Allen is proven and more win now type stuff.
