I suppose. I will happily take Mathews for a future 2nd if my team has any playoff chance at all. He is young enough to have 2-3 decent years left, on a high scoring offense that runs a lot of plays, and playing behind a traditionally injury plagued guy in Murray.
PLus, he has shown to be pretty good when he gets touches.
Obviously you can't predict this stuff, especially WHEN, but Mathews seems like the kinda guy who will get a few starts this year and could really help lead you to an important win or two.
Can't even begin to understand the thought process behind this. PPR start 4wr and he gives a top 20 wr and a top 20 RB for the chance that his new top 15 WR might play again?
Are there contracts in this league?
CP for me...I just can't quit you
probably take the picks here but Kelce is an attractive TE option in nonPPR
Pretty even. Nice return for Forsett but also a good price for a year of help
Willing to take a shot on Gordon but maybe keep the guys that can help me this year in this case. If they were depth players for Gordon I get that or as a consolidation move I might be OK making that deal.

I was a little shocked at this one, too. Giving up RB depth, or WR depth in a Start-4 with a 6 weeks to go to kick off, for a player that can't help this year.
Simply MUST be contender giving up Gordon to a rebuilder for pieces much less useful next year.
I have Gordon in one Dyno and I couldn't get either player mentioned for him, because their Owners think they can win.

I dont see this as an overpay at all. Especially if he is a contender or a piece away.
Sims and the 2nd are throw ins. Watkins' ceiling is not very high in the short term either, so why not ship him for arguably the best WR in dyno right now?

That's exactly correct.
The owner who received Gordon and the third took over a trainwreck team this offseason. He's selling off his few aging or somewhat-aging assets for long term potential.
The guy receiving JE/JB is a contender.

Why Maclin? I'm just curious do you see Maclin's #'s being that much better then Kendall where the 2 doesn't even put it over the edge? The 2 made the decision easy for me. I think Maclin will finish better then Kendall however I don't think its going to be by a big margin at all. Having a 2 in the mix tipped the scale with ease. Again not knocking which side you like just intrigued to know how much better you project Maclin to be.
Maclin's career numbers are notably better than Wright's, albeit from very different offenses. People will point to the dropoff from Philly to KC in passing numbers, but Maclin will also have less competition for targets, whereas Wright may be headed to WR2 or at least WR1b status. Mariota hasn't shown me enough to give me confidence he will be significantly ahead of Alex Smith.
I suppose my reasoning has more to do with my low expectations for Wright than any strong feeling for Maclin. Assuming Maclin improves on Dwayne Bowe's recent numbers, he'll likely outperform what Wright has been putting out. I've been a disappointed Wright owner, and see him as a low-ceiling guy at this point.

Maclin for me, I don't think he will match last year's numbers, but I think he is being undervalued by many (which is just fine for me, I'll buy him for the prices I am seeing him going in many deals).
I do however, see some value in Kendall Wright long term, he is a free agent next year right (or maybe its the year after)? I could see a situation where a team like the Pats increases his value. Still, with that said, give me Maclin.

I'm interested in the reasoning here. What are you seeing with Wright that makes him as valuable as Maclin? Or is it just the pick?

I would take Wright straight up. I just do not trust Alex Smith to get Maclin the ball and I expect Wright to catch a lot of passes with Mariota.

100% agreed. Maclin is headed for a downfall. Alex Smith has never had a 1,000 yard receiver in 10 years. Maclin went from basically the best case to worst case scenario. The Maclin love to me is recency bias. First 1k season. 1st double digit TD season. One healthy year but now his situation is upside down. Wright had down year but QB was a mess. To me, they're going in opposite directions here.

I don't really think there is any Maclin love. He is impossible to sell for a 1st and is drafted as a low WR3. That said, Maclin is a better WR than Wright, and TEN basically hopes to be KC's offense, as sad as that sounds.

Thanks for all the takes on the Maclin for Wright/2nd deal I made/posted.
One blurb I saw which intrigued me was this...
"Wright runs routes closer to the line of scrimmage -- more high-percentage stuff -- yet still saw 30 uncatchable balls among 93 targets (32.3 percent)."
Ironically enough....Football Outsiders charted 27 of Hunter's 67 targets as uncatchable, good for a whopping 40.3-percent clip that "led" all wide receivers.
Hopefully with Mariota and his highly praised accuracy which ppl are raving about ( yet unproven till he plays a meaningful NFL game ) that # will significantly decrease & help Kendall get back to 2013 form.

Good short-run haul for Gronk by your trading partner. As long as you're deep enough at RB to afford it though, go for it.

I understand the values of Watkins and Graham are going different directions but hard not taking an elite/near elite guy like Graham at >10% of the cap.
Depending on contract lengths, etc I could see myself taking on Jimmy in most formats at that cost

Someone paid that much for Sammy to begin with??? And THEN someone took on that salary... Wow. Small roster and short benches or?
