Made a difficult trade that I lost value wise the other day. I'm going to walk through my reasoning and maybe it could help people with process for a future trade in their league.

My team is one of the top contenders. But I'm always looking for ways to improve and make sure that my team is going to continue to do well in the future.
I can only start 2 RB, 3 WR and 1 flex. Which means one valuable player will be on the bench each week.

I prefer depth on my teams to help sustain bye weeks and injuries, but I hate wasting away on my bench as well.
At RB Saquon/JT/Swift is a great trio, but adding in Etienne next year makes Fournette irrelevant beyond this year. Even though I think he's underrated.

I shopped Fournette with little interest. I went back and forth with an owner who enjoys winning on deals. He offers me this:
I give: Goff, Fournette, Hooper, $525 BB
I get: Allen, Breece Hall(devy), Engram, future devy(top 5)

-I like Josh Allen in fantasy more than Goff.
-Engrams injuries worry me, but he was my WR2 in his class if he was a WR, so I've been high on him. He's a slight upgrade over Hooper.
-Hall has potential, but he's only a sophomore and will cost a roster spot for 2 years.

-Fournette is clearly more valuable than Hall right now. I doubt Hall will ever put up a FF season like LF will in 2020.
-Future devy(1 round each year) is nice and I already own two others.
-This also puts me at 3 RBs in a required start 2 league.

I waffle on this offer for awhile. It makes me less of a contender in 2020, despite the upgrades at QB/TE.
I ultimately pulled the trigger on the deal for 2 main reasons.
1) LF's value will not be any higher than it is right now and he's a UFA next year.

2) Barkley, Taylor, Swift, Etienne in 2021 and beyond would've put Fournette on my bench. In 2022, Hall could come onto my team and 2023 would be Bijan Robinson.
It's a gamble to be worse with a contending team and lose on value, but I think I have the depth to withstand it.
