I'd be shocked if that were accepted. Even if we all agree that Austin is the new #1 in Dallas, I just can't see him being worth Brees and Royal in a dynasty and frankly, Favre isn't worth much if anything.
I agree, you getting MAXIMUM value off Austin if this deal was accepted....Brees alone is worth 3 Austin's...not to mention you getting a fine young wr in Royal...You probably could get Royal ++ for Austin though.
I think Austin has surpassed Royal in a dynasty format. I also think the jump from Favre to Brees is way too much to get this deal done, but it's a good starting point. You are buying low on Royal and selling high on Austin. If he accepts this offer, you are stoked.
Sure, but I would never start Royal in a million years. I thought about offering Rodgers instead of Favre, but Rodgers has actually scored more points than Brees this year and I think he'll at least stay within 10% of Brees' output. And I'd need to get more than Royal for a 10% improvement at QB.
IMO, Rodgers/Austin for Brees/Royal is very fair although I'd probably take the Rodgers/Austin side. If you have Rodgers though, do you really need Brees? Just seems to me that you'd be better off going after a TE or RB upgrade. Not to switch the topic to a AC type, but I don't think your offer is accepted nor does it do as much for you as you could elsewhere.
In a word, "yes".Not only can you play the matchups, you have huge insurance protection against injury. When Brady went down in week 1 last year,FUBAR said:
I'm not a big fan of playing QBBC with stud QBs and I'm not too worried about my backups until I have my lineup stacked. Maybe it's just me
While he could help you, you can get more help elsewhere.
interesting . . .I'd take Boldin . . . proven commodity . . .
Ok so maybe he isnt worth much then......Beanie for LT is close....for value on LT....Adding Austin....meh...
It's a keep one league. Peyton will be that one for me.Dynasty or Redraft?
Yeah its funny with him....If you are offering him out, you suely wont get MAX value, but if guys come a sniffing for him, those owners are getting GREAT deals. As a Austin owner i would NOT offer him out even if i wanted to move him. Some one will ring the door bell to see whats he worth to ya.
link please.....I find it hard to believe that anyone would offer a 1st for him in a dynasty league, let alone add MB3. Sample size just isn't large enough. Where has he been in the past? Yes, he was dinged some, but so are a lot of WRs.
You seem to be hyping him in hopes of a great deal. I doubt anyone will pay a lot in 2009. If he continues looking good, then we can talk great value in the off-season. I think he's still a wait and see when comes to giving up a lot for him.
Not hyping him HOSS.....Im in the BUY camp on him...Put Boldin on the block in one league where i have Wayne Ocho Driver Boldin and Austin cause i like him ALOT going foward.And considering offering Boldin for him in ppr dynasty as well.....So im not hyping...Im curious to what the guy is going for is all....I offered deals for him in every league i dont have him in aside from one league where i already have R.Moss VJax Roddy and DeSean at wr....
It someone you know HOSS that told me that was offered to him and should he take it. I told him i think thats MAX value and while im not high on MB3 i would have to do that deal if he needed a rb. He didnt send me a link to the league in question but this a super solid stand up guy so i take it he was serious.
Sorry, but I'm not convinced. To me he's a sell high for sure, not a buy high, and giving up Boldin for Austin is a buy high.
My eyes tell me different. If i can land him for what i think is good value then im buying. I dont see nothing not to like with him. But to each is own....
Where was all the love before the last two games? It's not like he didn't play. He didn't stand out previously is all I'm saying. Giving up Boldin for him isn't good value.
Yeah i agree...never made the offer was just wondering...Boldin catches alot of passes in ppr which makes it not very good value.
Anyone who plays this fantasy game long enough is wrong plenty of times. If they say they aren't, they're lying. As for Boldin, I pretty much traded for him in several leagues after he became a star, but some owners were down on him for one reason or another in a couple of trades if I recall. As for seeing great WRs early and drafting them, I drafted DeSean Jackson is all 8 of my leagues. I traded him in two however.
or is it 
? So I'm hoping he tanks 
Ok cool. Desean is paying off bigtime. He was going in the 2nd and the 3rd round of some rookies drafts a yr ago.
ahhhhhh ok....thats what it is. Yeah well i expect you to think he isnt worth much bro. Some staff have told me when i asked whats his value they said a high 1st rounder at a min....Im sure you about the only one that would have traded him for a 2nd bro...thats selling too low.Just for the record, I traded Austin for a 2nd rd pick after his first big game
Last year, on a per play basis, he was one of the most effective WRs in the NFL. In his brief NFL career he has 68 targets, 39 catches, 706 yards, and 8 TDs. Last year he caught passes on Asante Samuel, Corey Webster, Carlos Rogers, and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. Now, after his first 2 NFL starts, he has been HISTORICALLY dominant. Then there's his elite athleticism and great situation he is now in....hard not to buy IMO
I agree with you about me selling low now, but at the time I didn't think that way. Like I said, he wasn't anything special before those two games (one when I sold), so as far as I'm concerned he's still a wait and see, and I wouldn't advise anyone buying high.Expect teams to start rolling coverage his way now that they know Roy Williams is barely an average WR.ahhhhhh ok....thats what it is. Yeah well i expect you to think he isnt worth much bro. Some staff have told me when i asked whats his value they said a high 1st rounder at a min....Just for the record, I traded Austin for a 2nd rd pick after his first big game?
ETA: I also picked him off waivers in MOX1 and dropped him the same day for someone elseSo I'm hoping he tanks
Im sure you about the only one that would have traded him for a 2nd bro...thats selling too low.
See HOSS, i wasnt making that up. Just didnt want to mention it was Jeter23. Bloom shot my offer down for a 1st....so peeps are offering atleast a 1st for him.
When the dust settles that will prove to be highway robbery.
this from a guy who sold him for a 2nd round pick.....you are jaded and your opinion should be culled from this discussion
His value must have gone up just since his first start breakout. At least for those inclined to believe, the second game must have lent some confirmation.Interestingly (surprising how vast value can shift in a short time in fantasy leagues at times, even in dynasty), we are only a few days away from Austin having the opportunity to possibly cement his value further with a third big game (again, for those already inclined to believe, looking for signs of further confirmation)... If that happens, we could see additional spikes in value, and more offers generated...
Hey Jeter23 your deal has me thinking and i want to ask you a few questions. Obviously you got GREAT value...i hadnt seen him traded for that much and most probably wouldnt so that has me wondering:* Was your plan to SELL HIGH on him? What if he offered just MB3 would you still have done this deal?* Do you feel his hype-value has far exceeded his possible future production value?* Or was you one that believe that much in his future prospects that wouldnt wouldnt trade him for less than what you got. I ask cause i own Austin too and actually i really need him in one league the other im deep at the wr position but rather trade one of my other guys. (i always been like that with my shiny NEW toys).
Even with me selling him too low that is highway robbery and you know it. MB3 and a 1st? Hell, MB3 or the 1st would be great value. At least I was honest about what I did with him. I could have easily kept that to myself.
For the record I am the other party involved in the aforementioned MB3/1st for Austin trade. How is an unproven commodity (1st round pick) equal value for a player who has produced consecutive 170+ yard games with multiple TDs? Furthermore Austin currently has more yards and TDs than Barber. I don't think that is unconceivable that he continues to outproduce him as the season continues. I am very happy with my acquisition, and would gladly make the trade again.
