2011 offseason dynasty trades (2 Viewers)

[FUBAR]

not a major trade, but moved Mark Clayton for Gabbart in a dynasty. Figured he'd be a good young QB to sit on (I have Brees and Big Ben)

Clayton was a great player last year so I don't like what you did unless you have depth at WR

I could be wrong, but I doubt Clayton is anything more than an okay #3 going forward. More likely a bench type.

Yeah, this was an easy deal to make IMO.

I disagree. His team is fairly young to afford this move and Wayne can be an impact player right away. Good trade for both team imo.

Huh? I'd like you to put the reason into words. I recently traded LeShoure, Salas, Kendricks, and three 2012 1sts for Chris Johnson and Sidney Rice, and it's been universally called a steal. And this is even cheaper.

It is a Dez league, which has many, um, surprising trades such as this.

This is an FFPC league though which changes things a bit. I agree several of the dynasty local league trades (mine or others) have been really lopsided we have a few owners there I have no idea what they are thinking.This though is where the big dogs run $750 FFPC league.

10 team non-PPR. Start 1 QB, 1 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 D/ST, 3 Flex (QB/RB/WR/TE, max 2 QBs, 3 RBs, 4 WRs). Last season was inaugural season.

My team was #1 in points but did not win the title. My roster:

QB - Rodgers, Romo, Freeman

RB - McFadden, M. Bush, Deangelo, Stewart, Goodson, Grant, P. Thomas

WR - Calvin, Roddy, Nicks, Avery, James Jones, Tate

TE - Finley, Cook

K - Kaeding

D/ST - Giants

No 2011 rookie draft picks (traded for Finley after he got hurt last year).

The other team was the worst team in the league last year. His roster:

QB - Brees, Bradford, Cutler, McCoy

RB - Mathews, Best, Spiller, D. Brown, Portis, Woodhead

WR - Andre Johnson, Dez, Lance Moore, Randy Moss, Roy Williams

TE - Cooley, Gronkowski, Hernandez

K - J. Brown

D/ST - Jets

Has 1.1 and 2.1 rookie draft picks.

I just traded Roddy White for Ryan Mathews. I figured with Calvin and Nicks still to start at WR, I could shore up my RB position, plus I could sell the soon to be 30 year old White at his highest point while buying low on the 24 year old Mathews. I figure in non-PPR Mathews may outscore White as soon as this year, and definitely will outscore him over the next three years and beyond.

Thoughts?

With 3 flex positions it's not that bad.Ideally the flex will be filled with 3 solid rb's who can get 1,600 total yards/10+ td's. Mathews could easily become that type. Roddy is great but if he can afford it and wants to shoot to be dominant it's a decent risk. Also roddy is almost 30 so it isn't like he's giving up a Calvin type who could be dominant for 8+ more years.

 

[Banger]

in a 12 team keeper league (17th year) 4 players and a rookie spot (so rooks have a little extra value and 1st round is largely a rook draft with good vets sprinkled in)...Have Vick, CJ, Gore, Blount ®, Roddy White as probable keepers. Then have FJax, B. Marshall, Dez White ® and TB Mike Williams ® as guys I'm looking to deal. I really like Blount but am concerned a bit long term with injuries due to his upright style. I'm thinking of dealing him and maybe Dez or B Marsh (who I'll either have to deal or put into the draft) for the #2 spot in the draft (also have the 12 from last year) and then slotting either M. Williams or Dez into the rookie spot. I don't really want to lose Blount and not even sure which rookie I'd take at #2 right now. Thinking the drop down from Blount to Williams isn't that much and I can afford a move like that with my roster.

Thoughts?

Scoring is standard with a flex.

Roddy is great but if he can afford it and wants to shoot to be dominant it's a decent risk. Also roddy is almost 30 so it isn't like he's giving up a Calvin type who could be dominant for 8+ more years.

Here is my thinking.1. White scored 201.2 fantasy points in my league's scoring system last year. I view that as a career year. I expect him to decline somewhat this year and moreso next year and beyond as Jones gets more targets.

2. Mathews was a rookie dealing with a high ankle sprain last year that led him to miss 4 games and be less than 100% in other games. Still, projecting his production from last year to 16 games results in 904/9 rushing and 193/0 receiving... that's 164 fantasy points. However, that rushing production is only based on 211 carries; I feel pretty certain that Mathews will get at least 240 carries... which could translate to more than 1000 rushing yards. And his 22 catches last year were with Sproles (59 catches) on the roster... he should be good for 40 catches this year... even at his pedestrian 6.6 ypr rate from last year, that is more than 250 receiving yars. So... 1250 total yards and 9 TDs is conservative but is 179 fantasy points... odds are that is comparable or better than White this year.

3. White is about to turn 30, and Mathews has just turned 24.

4. I can start 2 QBs (Rodgers and Romo), 3 RBs (3 of McFadden, Stewart, Deangelo, Mathews), and 2 WRs (Calvin, Nicks) [plus Finley, Kaeding, and Giants or waiver D/ST]. So I'm thinking I'm a contender this year without White and I am better off beyond this year.

I don't post all this to say I have all the answers, but rather to explain my thinking... interested in other opinions.
