This probably doesn't belong here - but it does, so I'm gonna... As Ive never taken over a dynasty team (always drafted one), this was a welcome challenge for me, though I dont think Id want to do it again. I wanted to rebuild to win this league in about 2 yrs from now...
10 team 1ppr/1.5ppr for TE. Start 1qb / 1-5rb / 1-5wr / 1-5te / 1pk / 1def
***** note, everyone has their "niche", mine in PPR is going WR heavy... I would love TE's but this league protects them like 1 pound diamonds *****
Roster bequeathed to me:
RG3, Manning
Bell, Charles, Gore, Mathews, Randle, Starks,
Britt, Jennings, Nelson, Rice, S Smith, Mike Williams (buf)
cook, miller, moeaki, keller
forbath, janikowski
ARI, DAL, PIT
Moves made:
1) Gave J Nelson, Got 1.04 + 2015 1st round pick
2) Gave Peyton Manning + 2.06 + 2015 1st round pick, Got Dez Bryant + 3.06
3) Gave Jamaal Charles, Got Josh Gordon + 2.01 (trade made months back.. and wont regret it unless he's out of the league)
4) Gave Le'Veon Bell + 1.05, Got 1.01
5) Gave 1.04 + 2.01 + 3.05, Got Cordarelle Patterson + Ben Roethlisberger + 2015 3rd round pick
6) Gave 1.01, Got 1.02 + 2015 1st round pick
**** Think I manipulated the market beautifully, in a league that tends not to trade very often. We are ALL friends in this league, so knowing their tendencies and allegiances I tried to make the best possible deals to rebuild a young and stud-filled roster ****
Today's Roster
RG3, Roethlisberger, Hoyer
Mathews, Gore, Starks
Dez Bryant, Gordon, C Patterson, Mike Evans, Britt, Jennings, Kearse, s smith, mike williams
cook, miller, moeaki, keller
forbath, janikowski
ari, dal, pit
plus: 2 2015 1ST ROUND PICKS + 2015 3RD
**** Still draft time left (two 3rd rnd picks left for me), and I need to cut down the roster of the "fat" and make some free agent acquisitions, but this is it so far.... ***
I know it's AC to ask "how's my team" but this is about the moves made, the value of vet players, and how I used a Bills fan to drop 1 spot from 1.01 to 1.02 and gain a future first.
Thanks everyone for the help and words along the way via PM... you know who you are.
