10-team, 0.5 PPR dynasty league. Starting lineups: QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, WR, TE, Flex, Flex, Flex

My RB: Leonard Fournette, Jay Ajayi, Lamar Miller, Kenneth Dixon, Demarco Murray, Austin Ekeler, Javorius Allen, Frank Gore

My WR: Antonio Brown, Julio Jone, Golden Tate, Jamison Crowder, Robby Anderson, John Ross, Corey Coleman, Tyrell Williams

My TE: Greg Olsen, Delanie Walker, Cameron Brate

Was offered Alex Collins and Marqise Lee for my Jay Ajayi and Tyrell Williams.

I like the idea of owning all three Baltimore RB's for handcuffing purposes, but I feel like Ajayi may be a better dynasty asset. Lee could also be useful in my flex this season. Should I accept? Thanks!

This is so weird that I read this question today... I was just posting some news stories about ESPN seeing the Eagles RBs as a potential issue this year. And also posted a story that talked about Collins being the favorite to be the Raven's RB1. It got me interested enough that, just minutes ago, I had to look and see where we ranked each of these backs - and if you haven't looked Ajayi was 19th and Collins 17th in PPR I believe it was. Little surprised by this as I thought Ajayi would be higher.

I think Collins has a better chance to lose more carries and I know that sounds odd considering the Eagles were a full-blown committee last year. But Dixon seems to be lurking and apparently the Ravens haven't really committed to Collins.

I don't think I'd do this deal the way things stand right now. I think Ajayi is a safer bet to see a safer workload. There doesn't seem to be a direct threat behind Ajayi that can carry the load, where Dixon is certainly capable of stealing the job from Collins. But then again, it does give you some security having all the backs.

Value-wise, I don't think I'd do it though. Overall, I think the deal makes some sense for you. I would try to hold off and keep an eye on the Ravens RB situation this summer. You may not have to make this deal and you could end up better off for not doing it if Dixon somehow emerges...

FYI: I recall Ajayi falling in the NFL draft (5th round??) because of his knee. I believe he has no/little Cartledge in his Knee, and teams thought his career could be short.
