Having a good defense or kicker can help your team win, but these positions still lack value in our game because of the inaccuracy of predicting the results. Defense in particular is a good analogy, having 11 players on it. Trying to count on which ones will not get injured or perform way better or worse than you thought. It's hard enough trying to make expectations for just one guy, when you multiply that to an entire squad you can see how quickly it goes haywire.
You can pretty easily tell who the stacked teams are, as well as the destitute. Everything in between has higher variance but if you don't at least TRY to make some educated analysis when it comes to picks you're doing yourself a disservice.
So team A offers you his 2021 first rounder for 2.12. His roster:
Did you at least throw in the Superman outfit?12 team PPR dynasty
Gave: Cam Newton
Got: $2 in bidding bucks
Had to make a cut, that's all I could get.
Doesn't that go into one's calculus when they project a team as bad? Rhetorical.
I suppose. In this specific case the guy didn't even set a roster for the last month of the season. I let the commish know after the first week but nothing was ever done about it.
I have found it pretty surprising how low CMC's value is. I've put him on the block in a couple places even put out a few offers. I've had zero offers sent my way. And complete rejects of my offers with no interest of counter offers. I still think there are a lot of unbelievers out there.
One year from now, Diontae will be worth MORE than that pick by himself. Getting Ekler and 2.3 is GRAVY, well done.
I'm guessing guy who gave up Jacobs will be out of the league in 2 years or sooner. Just idiot trade on his part, congrats on getting a stud for pennies on the dollar.
I'll take that side too but geeeez the Diontae hype is getting out of control around here.
Diontae more than 4? No way. Way to high on him. Especially with Juju there and they drafted a rookie WR. I would still take this side of the trade but DJ is being jocked way too hard.
I thought the Mattison one was fine. I would for sure have leagues I would NOT pay 3.5 for Mattison if I did not own Cook, I mean he's just a handcuff since I think they are going to resign Dalvin. Agree on the JuJu deal for sure.
Surprised me as well and we kind of dumb luck backed into it.
Where is mattison going in startup drafts? Where is the 29th rookie going?
Not so familiar with IDP, but I'd go with the 1.03 in regular. I think in IDP the difference is less between 2.03 and 4.16. But I also think the difference between JT and Dobbins is negligible.
In a vacuum and in extreme disparity, predicting picks has a little value. In real life this scenario doesn't happen often. It's worth noting, this trade works whether the pick is early or late.Hankmoody said:
This guy did well if he doesn't care which of the top 3 guys. Sure beats the trade in my IDP 16 team PPR league the other day.
OK if this is how we're going to answer these things then we may as well just shut down the forum. Obviously anything we talk about for next year is projected.
yeah that is fantasticmenobrown said:
My opinion they're worth the same 2020 1st = 2021 1st. I think usually people are paying a premium for the immediate draft pick though.
To pull this off it generally needs to be an early 2nd for a projected late 1st with someone that particular owner is very high on still on the board in the early 2nd.
Was that this off-season or last year? Seems like you found someone who is very down on Drake. Congrats.
Nah, Nick. Not a SF league, but a 6 pt per TD QB league so QBs are vital for long-term success. I needed a QB to build around as Rodgers has been fading the last two years.
So you gave a RB1 and a WR1 for a rookie QB. You can't possibly get the value back you gave up unless Burrow is better than Mahomes.
