Andre Johnson for Rueben Randle and a 5th pick next year? I want to get rid of Johnson. He's been underperforming and Randle has Eli and Eli is playing better.
Well Beckam might be back this week and Donnell is poaching a lot of Randle's red zone looks. The good news is that NYG are one of the teams utilizing hurry up the most, so they are running a lot of plays. For this reason I like Randle a little better for PPR. Cruz is more likely to pop off vs ATL than Randle but long term it's not a bad deal. Additionally, NYG are sitting 6th in Pass Block grades so McAdoo's quick hitting offense + Oline is keeping Eli erect.
Johnson is now dealing with health issues, but keep in mind his targets haven't dropped much, a lot of the difference between this year and last is that Hopkins is actually converting deep so AJ is getting less TD chances atm. He's going to pop off sooner than later - he's tied for 18th in targets ahead of guys like Crabtree, Marshall, Allen, Randle(lol), Tate in that order. I'm not giving up on AJ yet but I don't blame you if you do. Randle has a better QB running a higher volume of plays and also gets red zone looks (3rd in NFL with 8 to AJ's 6).
