It could end up being a nice move, but I couldn't deal fadden for that.
I know that I have a reputation as a DMC hater, but I'm surprised people are so optimistic about him. He is a chronic disappointment and things are looking really grim for the Raiders this year. He will probably sign elsewhere in a year, but will he be the unquestioned starter? Will he thrive? Will he stay healthy? Those are all big question marks IMO.

I think the guy getting Pierce and Brown made a sneaky preemptive move to pick up two potential starting caliber talents on the cheap while they're still riding the bench. I like it.
How on earth is that considered "on the cheap"?? Looks more like paying their max value to get them.

Don't get me wrong, I like pierce a lot, and brown is ok.........but when exactly do you see them NOT riding the pine? Rooting for trade or injury will be tough from now till about 2016.
You have to look at the price. What did he give up? McFadden? A player who has one good complete season despite being in the league for 5 years? I know a lot of people still like him, but to me he's best viewed as a dynasty RB3. Hope for the best. Prepare for the worst. That kind of guy.

I wouldn't say that Pierce and Brown are sure things, but those guys would be high on my list if I were trying to predict which backups will be starters in the future. Neither has any opportunity. That's why they're available this cheap. If not for the roadbloacks, they'd be valued alongside guys like Lamar Miller and David Wilson.

Hence why I think it's a nice preemptive move. A chance to get two players with starting potential on the cheap before their opportunity clears up and their value skyrockets. It's a good example of looking ahead and trying to anticipate future developments instead of being rooted to the present.

I wholeheartedly agree. McFadden is on the cusp of having his dynasty value fall off a cliff, like many once-studly backs before him. Pierce and Brown are two of the best upside plays available right now. I like getting two wildcards that have looked good in actual game action in exchange for a tenuous asset.

While I agree that on paper Dmac might be worth more, the double benefit of handcuffing Rice/McCoy short term and having big time future value potential makes the trade a lot closer.

 
Couple interesting "get younger" type trades in one of my leagues, 12 team PPR:

Arian Foster for Eddie Lacy

And

MJD for 2014 1st (likely late)

Not enough for Foster, needed to get another prospect or pick.

I would gamble with MJD, I think you can get more for him in season, but it is a fair deal right now

 
12 team PPR 1/2/3/1

AP/Marshall

for

David Wilson/AJ Green
Give me AP side....I refuse to buy a ticket for the train. Are you the conductor?
If I am going for the title I take the AP side, if I have nothing but AP/Marshall and am looking to rebuild give me the Wilson/Green
Great move to get younger.
I think in most scenarios as far as my team makeup goes I would take AP and Marshall. I see AP and Marshall being better for the next 3 years. But is that "BETTER" over the next 3 years enough to miss out on what Green gives you for a long time when Marshall is done. Theoretically Wilson should outlast AP a while............but also no guarantees Wilson is anywhere near Peterson type productive, ever.

Hard trade. I can't fault either side.

I can understand liking it, but the ADP/market value is way off. DMC is going in the 3rd/4th area, and is being drafted as a high-end dynasty RB2. The person moving on from DMC is giving up a lot, in terms of value. I just have a hard time believing this is the best deal he could get, given how consistantly owners are paying more in startups.

I agree with this.
Of course you would, since you and EBF have shared the same negative opinions about DMC for years. It would have been shocking if you had disagreed.

10 team ppr 1qb/2rb/3wr/1te/1flex(any)/idp

I get:

Jamaal Charles

Team A gets:

Matt Forte

Monte Ball

Team A then did this trade:

Team A gets:

Travis Kelce

LeVeon Bell

Team B gets:

Monte Ball

 
Did this trade today in my 12 team, 0.5PPR, start 1/2/3/1 league. Odd thing about the league is we can only have 22 players max at anytime, so at the draft you have to drop a player to draft someone if your roster is full. So non -1st aren't as valuable.

Gave: Vereen, 2014 2nd (non-playoff), 2014 2nd (borderline playoff team), my 2015 2nd (baring disaster, very late)

Got: 2014 1st (I think non-playoff) and 2015 3rd

Probably selling Vereen cheap, but he's my RB6 and I wanted to take a strategic risk the 1st pays off next year.

You killed it for Charles, I would have asked for another prospect or pick

I like what he flipped it for though, I like Bell a lot more then Ball

I think you sold him very cheap... but he could get hurt and his value would nosedive.

 
10 team .5ppr start 1qb/2rb/4wr/1 flex

Gave: Matt Ryan, Darren McFadden, 2014 rookie 2nd(late)

Got: Chris Johnson, Bernard Pierce, 2014 rookie 1st(late)

i have kaep and luck and was looking to move ryan

 
12 team ppr .5/1/1.5 start 1 QB/2-3 RB/3-4 WR/1-2 TE

Gave: M. Stafford, D. Williams, C. Michael

Got: A. Foster, R. Wayne, 2014 2nd round rookie

I had a surplus of QBs. Still have Brees and Kaep. I needed a RB2 and WR3. Vereen/DWill/Pierre were my RB2 by committee and Crabtree is hurt.

Starting Lineup now:

Brees

Richardson

Foster

Megatron

D. Thomas

Wayne

Graham

Gonzalez

 
12 team, 25 roster PPR, all TDs scored at 6 points.

I gave:

Colin Kaepernick

I got:

Robert Griffin III

Notes - A lateral move in my mind. First year dynasty startup league and I took Kaep in the 4th round before Griffin in early February (because of the knee recovery issues). Don't mind swapping now for the player I really liked better at the time.

Standard Scoring Dynasty

Brady

Charles

Tavon Austin

Got:

Kaepernick

Ridley

Vereen

Victor Cruz

Seems like a fair trade across the board. Edge to the Kaepernick Ridley side. Love those guys going forward, and I really think Vereen will be a nice dynasty hold as well. If Cruz gets to 100% he should be a very solid WR. Austin should be a nice PPR play, still tough to gauge his value right now in non-PPR. I think Brady blows up this year, but in dynasty I give a substantial edge to Kaepernick.

 
I feel bad for these people that traded J. Thomas before the game. I hope someone shares a trade with him in the next week. I would like to see what he is going for

 
10Team PPR QB/3WR/2RB/TE/K/DT. Nothing earth-shattering. I was in love with Givens and had to deal fro him before the season kicks in.

Gave: Jordan Cameron

Received: Chris Givens

--------------------------------

Gave: Steelers DT

Received: Joique Bell(to back up Bush

--------------------------------

Gave: Turbin, 2014 1st(prob 9 or 10)

Received: Toon, 20014 1st(Prob 4 or 5)

I made this mistake a few years ago. Traded Gronk before week 1. DUMB DUMB move, and a learning experience. I had ZERO reason to deal the guy, considering if he woulda gone out week 1 and caught zero passes his value would been the same as before the game.

Kinda like Julius. If he went out and caught 2 balls for 20 yards, would his value have dropped?? Not likely. So trading him for the same value before the game as he would be even if he did nothing..............bad move. I was a victim of that once, never again.

 
Two trades, ended up

Jackson, Fred BUF RB

Spiller, C.J. BUF RB

Bailey, Stedman STL WR

Davis, Demario NYJ LB

Stafford, Matt DET QB

for

Sproles, Darren NOS RB

Welker, Wes DEN WR

Roach, Nick OAK LB

Brees, Drew NOS QB

2015 2nd round pick

 
12 team PPR, TE premium, super-flex league. Only have to start 1 RB, can start 2 QB.

Team A gave:

Julius Thomas

Stevan Ridley

Team B gave:

Cam Newton

Emmanuel Sanders

 
Not sure if this is helpful to anyone but Gave: Next year's 1st Got: This year's 2.06 (Used it to get Keenan Allen in a non-ppr)
Where'd you finish this year (assuming it was your 2014 1st)?
It was a crazy year and I finished last. :bag:

My team isn't nearly that devoid of talent though. RBs are a problem but I wasn't going to fix that this year anyway since I didn't have a 1st round pick this year either (used it in a trade for Victor Cruz).
Ick.

These mid-round WRs that land in a "great spot" are a dime a dozen. There's a new handful every year and most just fade away. Really low percentage play here.

No offense, but I think if someone came on this board and said they traded the 2.06 for the 2014 1st round pick of the guy who finished last this year we'd all be mocking the quality of league he played in.

It could certainly work out for you, but I think it's a really bad trade.
I'd just like to say...

I WAS RIGHT!!! :pokey: :clyde: :P

Trade 2Team A gave up Sproles, Darren NOS RB;Gordon, Josh CLE WR;Tate, Golden SEA WRTeam B gave up Foles, Nick PHI QB;Kolb, Kevin ARI QB;Acho, Sam ARI LB
Not sure why A would give up so much for the players he's acquired? To me that looks terribly one sided
A is rebuilding, and is at least 2-3 years from competing. And has a top 2 pick in the draft.
So, since he's rebuilding, he gave away one of the top ROOKIE WR's in Gordon and a 24 year old Golden Tate for Foles/Kolb and Acho?Yeah, that makes complete sense. (hint: the reason he's rebuilding is because of trades like this)
Well Team A's owner took over a abandon team. Tate means little/nothing (Baldwin is better). Gordon has value, but he's nothing special IMO. Team A's qb were Rivers, Chase Daniels and Matt More, so getting Foles for Gordon/Sproles was godsend. Its not like Team A could get Luck/RG3/Wilson for Sproles/Gordon, plus Kolb for free and a look at Acho. Team A overpaid on surface but the thought process was correct based on the roster situation even if Foles whiffs. Foles last 4 games as a starter he avg 20.1 points, Kolb's 4 games as a full starter 17.4 including a dud at STL. Looks pretty bad on surface to a avg FF player but in 2 years Team B could be crippled and Team A wont be missing a 32 yo RB and a ok WR.
you are a heckuva salesman, team A. i'm hippling, but this trade is moronic. no way to defend it. but somebody has to pick first every year, right?
Agreed.. horrible deal and worse logic to defend it. Even if Sproles is getting older, you should be able to move him to a contender for far more than he is receiving. Plus, you have no idea if Gordon is special but to ignore his promise is foolish. I'm not huge on Golden Tate but please don't try to sell me on Foles/Kolb. These guys are dime a dozen.Foles for Sproles/Gordon is "God Send"? Really?
Right, not sure what's dumber the trade itself, or the guy trying to defend the deal for the other guy.
I didn't have much on Gordon to really evaluate him as much as I wanted to at the time. I actually got him back for Jared Allen and then traded him 'low' again for Nicks and a 1st because I wanted no parts. Crazy how things turn out huh?
