Terrible trade. What were you thinking?14 Team Dynasty 0/1/2 PPR for RB/WR/TE. Start QB/RB/RB/WR/WR 2 WR/RB/TE-flex K D/ST. No TE required. 3 Months ago I thought my starting WR's could be passable, but weak (Maclin & SSmith NYG). Well,now it looks like Maclin may not start the season and SSmith was traded to PHI, and not likely to start the season either. Worked hard trying to get a decent WR1 for a RB, but was underwhelmed. So I went against my better judgement and traded a stud for mediocrity/depth. Probably helps my team though. I also had no 2011 draft picks to work with.
I gave: Jamal Charles >>>>>> and Bernard Scott, Blair White, Anthony Gonzalez, & Brandon Tate
I got: Brandon Lloyd, Santana Moss, Lee Evans, Danny Amendola & Piere Thomas
I'm under no illusions that Lloyd and Moss will put up 2010 stats, but should be passable. Taking a shot Evans is traded, Amendola could be a PPR machine and PThomas gets some carries.

Which way? Finley still has a lot of hype and upside. Only start 2 WRs, so Holmes value as consistent WR2 is a little weakened.

This made me laugh out loud.Two years of production vs 6-8 years of production. Plus it's PPR. Yes, a landslide. Caused by a tsunami. Triggered by an earthquake.
Saints have shared the way they have in the past because that was the talent level of the guys available. That will end.

Well, I think I outlined what I was thinking. I was staring at Garcon and Hines as my opening day starters. That wasn't going to cut it. After about 10 days of sending out rb for wr offers, I was also getting tired of the idea of trading Jamal straight up for james jones or crabtree. Relative to those, I can live with what I got. Keep in mind rb's don't get ppr in this format but wr's do. Jamal's scoring wasn't terribly higher than either Lloyd or Moss last season, and again I realize neither will likely repeat, but could come close.'eakfootball said:Terrible trade.

If team B that traded for Stewart was the DeAngelo owner, does it seem any better a deal for team B? One of the challenges in dynasty is arriving at a valuation that takes into account gains to be had down the road vs. in the present. Clearly, Mike Williams in a PPR has more value over Stewart for 2011, but should Stew become a feature back (predicated on injury to D-Will or a Carolina trade), that gap closes, albeit, not as much if Stew was a pass catching 3-down back. Jon Stewart would likely have a higher value to the DeA Williams owner than other teams, agreed? In 2009 when given the chance, Stewart finished as RB14 (a solid RB2) under the PPR scoring rules for the league. He averaged over 5 yards per carry and scored 10 rushing tds. The problem is giving up option of having production in the WR line-up from Mike Williams to manage the risk of losing DeAngelo.The second trade isn't too bad, but I value Williams quite a bit higher than Stewart in ppr.The guy trading for Finley is close to competing for championship and he the other teams in his division have stud TE's.Curious what team got the lopsided deal on that 2nd trade.'eakfootball said:Well Holmes and Finely are pretty much equal in value, with maybe a slight bump to Holmes, plus a first that could be top six, and two 2nds is crazy.'thriftyrocker said:Which way?

Could you please define handcuff situation? I thought handcuff situation meant securing the obvious back up to a bonafide stud. So in this case, is it your opinion that the breakdown of RB carries in Carolina is such that DeAngelo is not far and away the type of running back that would permit Stewart to be viewed as a handcuff, assuming my concept of handcuff is accurate?

Selling too long on Fitz imo. Shoulda got another piece back.I traded larry fitzgerald, for Pick 1.01(mark ingram)
I like Ingram, but Fitz has to be worth more than that. Wonder if this is a contract league ?I traded larry fitzgerald, for Pick 1.01(mark ingram)
Roddy or VJax are the ones that should have been sold. And should have gotten a bit more back for Roddy.Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm loaded at receiver (roddy, fitz, vjax, dez, and sidney rice) but my backs are terrible save mjd (lt2, lynch and hightower)
Just a nitpick, but based on trade value, MJD is a tier below Mendy/DMC. Over-cautiousness about the knees I suppose.oh, I understand you have needs or w/e... but I wouldn't trade fitz straight up for a runningback less than the DMC/Mendy/MJD tier. If Ingram ends up being a stud, it will be a great trade for you, but its a lot of risk, and I think you left value on the table.
