[Redmen62]

12 team .5PPR dynasty with 2RB/3WR and a WR/RB/TE flex.

Team A gives:

Matt Forte

Toby Gerhart

3.07 rookie pick

2015 3rd round rookie pick

for

Team B:

Rob Gronkowski

Ray Rice

2015 2nd round rookie pick

Team A had depth at RB, Team B had a need at RB and depth at TE

To be clear, is there a mandatory starting TE position? You only mentioned that you must start 2 RBs, 3 WRs, and there was a flex spot.

If so, Gronk smash.

Yes, 1QB/2RB/3WR/1TE/1FLEX

 

[Adam Harstad]

Yes, 1QB/2RB/3WR/1TE/1FLEX

Cool. Gronk smash.

 

[Heatman]

Team A gave: A.J.Green, Julius Thomas

Team B gave: Sammy Watkins, Mike Evans, Kelvin Benjamin, Tyler Eifert

Not my trade, mandatory TE league.

 

[EBF]

I'm one of the rare souls who has Eifert ranked ahead of Thomas. Between Watkins and Evans, Team A is likely to recoup what he lost in Green.

Add in Benjamin (who I don't like but who has some value in theory) and it's a win for the side getting Watkins IMO.

I agree and I thought I'd be the minority. Though I like Thomas more than Eifert, I think Sammy is legit and Evans is solid. I understand that the ff community is in love with AJG, but I've never considered him as one of my top 3 elite... That puts me in the minority.

Green and Julius for me if my team is competing.

It could be, but he's also assuming (almost) all of the risk. I also like Eifert more than Thomas, and think Evans and Watkins should both workout, so it's not a terrible trade, but I'd rather keep Green and move Thomas for Eifert and Evans (or something like that).

Way too much for Wayne at this point in his career but I do expect him to produce WR2/3 numbers...seems like an overpay though

Not a huge Julius guy but give me AJG and JT. Like the other side but not sure any are the next elite WR. Eifert is solid though imo

The AJG and Thomas side has virtually no risk while the other side is hoping that at least two of those four players become studs.

this is one of those trades where you can see what both sides are thinking and could pay off for either, but I'll always take the proven top 5 guy over guys who might be top 10 (really I don't think either will be) but haven't shown anything yet.

 

[Spin]

10 team start 1qb, 2rb, 3wr, 1te, 1flex (any) + IDP PPR

I gave up:

Brandin Cooks (DTS) Can stay on DTS for 3 years. Can be assigned any length contract whenever owner decides to move him up

I received:

Keenan Allen (3 years left on contract)

I likely won't be able to keep Allen once his contract expires, because Rodgers' contract is expiring the same year. Felt this improved my starting WR core enough for this year. Will be starting 3 of Megatron, AJ Green, Nelson, Allen

Sure there is risk. Thomas could turn out to be an overrated flash in the pan who regresses to a fringe TE1 level or worse once Manning is gone. IMO his dynasty ADP is too high by about 30-50 spots. He had one nice season, but that doesn't make him Witten or Gonzo just yet.

Any one rookie has risk, but between three first round prospects (Watkins, Evans, Benjamin), it's unlikely that you won't find at least one reliable impact player.

• Team B gave up Montee Ball
• Comments: team A DEVY TO team B

14 team DEVY tiered PPR (.75/1/1.25 for RB/WR/TE) start 2 RB, 3WR and a flex. relatively deep 24 man rosters

Team B was coming out of a rebuild, but is probably still in it with this deal. Team A going all in for 2014. Picks are likely to be one very early, one mid range, and one late. Devy more likely late then early, depending on health of team A's squad (strong lineup but weak depth with few picks to fix holes if they happen)

I was surprised to see that one come through my e-mail box. I have Ball as the #19 dynasty RB, so I think you cleaned house getting that much for him.

I get the idea that he could blow up in that offense with Moreno gone. All it will take is a decent season to solidify his top 10 dynasty RB market value.

All the same, that's a boatload of picks for a somewhat unproven 2nd round prospect. Any one of them could net you a comparable talent.

would like it a lot more if I still owned my own first, but still sitting on five firsts for next years draft

At all. Terrible

I don't know where crabtrees adp is but I'd guess 4th/5th rd. so that's like trading a top 5 pick for a 4th, 2 10s and an 11. Very bad

Yes (he was drafted at 1.4) and that's what the rest of the league thought (including me). There was a lot of chirping post trade. People saying if that's how trades go in the league it won't last long, etc, but not collusive so it is what it is. The funny part is he had already drafted Kaepernik at 5.12 so to make that trade and then take Brady really made little sense to me.

1,000% accurate.

So sounds like I need to really draft to win now....

Though dynasty leagues should be played with a longterm mindset, if you ever have an inclination that the league will implode, it does make sense to gear up for winning NOW. Thats a bit fatalistic but don't leave you winning window so far out when the league has a possible close dinner than that. I'm in a league right now that has so much turnover that I worry about the balance in about 2 years from now where at least a third of the teams are so bad that they will be automatic wins for opponents.

Sorry for the above typos. I have fat fingers and my phone has yet to pity me and help translate.

Also, in the 3 for 1 trade, did you have junk players to drop? Minor detail but I always wonder what the cost was in total. Pretty even otherwise. Might still be leaning toward DT. The other 3 are extremely high hype, high potential, and still unknown.
