I agree. On top of that I would almost rather have Cutler for the foreseeable future.In FF terms, Dalton is the definition of replaceable.Unless it's a start 2 QB league, I'd much rather have the 1.10.
Nope, its a start 1 QB league. My other QB is Brady, so Dalton and Cutler was a mere backup swap, so the 10th pick is just gravy.I agree. On top of that I would almost rather have Cutler for the foreseeable future.In FF terms, Dalton is the definition of replaceable.Unless it's a start 2 QB league, I'd much rather have the 1.10.
Couldn't disagree more.He just had a great 2nd year, without a running game or wr 2, he's top 10 no doubt and should only get better. The lack of new qb prospects and guys like manning,Brady,Bree's getting older your missing the boat big time, IMO.In FF terms, Dalton is the definition of replaceable.Unless it's a start 2 QB league, I'd much rather have the 1.10.

I think he's just a guy for FF purposes barring significant improvement. He had a decent completion percentage and finished with 27 passing TDs, but struggled against top teams and only averaged 6.95 yards per passing attempt. That YPA average is not much better than guys like Weeden, Fitzpatrick, and Bradford. I think Dalton overrated by some because a lot of FF owners still just look at PPG and don't pay attention to efficiency, where Dalton comes out looking like an average to slightly below average NFL QB. Unless I thought he was going to get a lot better in future seasons, I wouldn't give up much at all to get him. I don't think his redraft outlook is significantly better than guys like Roethlisberger and Cutler, who can probably be had for cheap. Of the young guys, I don't see him as a big step up from colder names like Freeman and Bradford. He just doesn't offer a lot of value over easily-obtained replacements and I don't see much in his numbers to date that points to a big upside down the road.Couldn't disagree more.He just had a great 2nd year, without a running game or wr 2, he's top 10 no doubt and should only get better.

ThisDalton is a better NFL player than he is fantasy option. His numbers are just fine for a soon-to-be 3rd year player, and the success his team is having is a good sign, as well. But there are so many solid fantasy options that Dalton isn't likely to make a difference for many rosters, anytime soon. I think he's a solid backup with upside - his first 2 years compare nicely to Matt Ryan's - but, again, too many other options out there to invest much in Dalton today.
To me Dalton has very low stud potential. "Top 10" is NOT a stud. It's probably a point a week above whoever finished 15th or 16th. And he drops down ever more with Kaepernick about to start the year.I wouldnt feel comfortable with Dalton as my long term Qb at allThisDalton is a better NFL player than he is fantasy option.

I love the "I'm shocked" shtick by the other side after rejecting an offer. As if the guy was undertaking some sort of charitable act by even making the offer in the first place.I would too. This was his offer for Dez and was shocked I didn't accept.I like getting Dez for that price.DezForJennings and picks 5, 8 and 14
This is the NFL, one year your a stud the next your not. Its all a gamble of what ifs.I love the fantasy community and how they value players. Dez is one player good or not, was he worth it this time last year? Also, one more arrest what is he worth? Value changes, you cash in when you can.Nicks was a Top 5 WR last year, not even in the Top 20 in some this year. People were so down on ADP last year his value sunk, no one would trade for him, now look. Also, people are down on Jennings yet the loved Harvin when he had Ponder. Its foolish and comical they way some people value players.Point is, Value changes, get while its hot. What happens if and when Dez gets arrested again, I'll say it again, what is his value then?Will he be worth Jennings and 3 top 15 picks?

This would depend a lot on my roster. Fair trade and each side would be more/less appealing depending on whether I am competing or not. In a vacuum, I'd likely take the Thomas/Morris side.

I think the prudent thing to do is trade all of your players before something bad might happen.

I think it's a fair trade. I like Givens but just dumped him for what I could get. He was a depth guy with 1 year left on his contract and I already need to blow my tags on JPP and Gresham after this year. Got $30 in league cash and the 4.09 for him.

Forget your other RB's and the fact that you received a 2014 mid-2nd in return, giving SJax and a likely late 2014 1st for Matt Ryan and the 1.04 is a no brainer no matter the circumstances IMO.12 team. 0.5 PPR, start 1/2/3/1I gave: SJax, J Rodgers, 2014 1stI get: M Ryan/1.04/2014 2ndMy 14 should be 2nd half. His 2nd probably mid-round at worst. Still leaves me with Martin/Morris/Charles at RB, so I felt trading Jackson made sense even though I think he's good for another 1-2 years.

Yuck. So much more you could have bought instead of Smith. And it's not even April and you're worried about a starting lineup? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeenty of time to worry about starting lineups. You could end up picking up the next Alfred Morris in training camp or have one of your bench guys emerge unexpectedly. That's the kind of deal you can always make later.Just sent Bernard Pierce and Jon Baldwin for Isaac Redman and Steve Smith. Absolutely hated to give up Pierce but have a strong contender (Rodgers / Charles / McCoy / Marshall / Colston / Britt / Smith in a 12 teamer) and was looking at having to start Davone Bess every week in my flex/WR4.
Holy crap, is that the value Vereen is pulling right now?12 team PPR leagueGave: Vereen and 4.11Got: Broyles and 1.10Still have McCoy/Brown Mathews, S. Jackson and Reggie Bush at RB.

Depends on how you feel about Vereen of course. I do not feel he will ever be a top 15 RB no matter what the situation is so I would rather have the lottery ticket.whats so great about that?

Some pretty good names should still be there at 1.10. I think you've got a better chance of landing a real impact player if you stay there and play the lotto. I don't really get the excitement for Vereen. Ridley is going nowhere and the Patriots have never produced more than one relevant FF back at a time. Vereen has been a nonfactor there through two years and only seems to have trade value because of one memorable playoff game.whats so great about that? Broyles and 1.10?

I don't know, it is to me. I'd think about offering a mid/late 2nd for Vereen, if I had a major need at RB. I'd think about it. So to me, a solid WR2/3 on the upswing and a late 1st is a lot.
