2013 Off Season Dynasty Trade Thread (for completed trades) (2 Viewers)

Pitta side is the winner by a long, long way! Hunter has been a 2nd in a lot of drafts! This is basically getting Pitta for moving your 2nd rounder back a year.....

 
12 team, 0.5PPR, start 1/2/3/1

I gave: Daryl Richardson

I get: Owen Daniels

Also i get a conditional 2014 2nd if Richardson finishes as a top 20 RB in 2014.

I really needed a TE.

 
10 team dynasty ppr, start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex (R/W/T)

A Gives: Aaron Dobson, 2014 2nd

B Gives: 2014 1st (had 1.04 in 2013, could finish anywhere from 1.04-1.08).

A is in the 2nd year of a rebuild, team has already had a quick turn around with only B Marshall remaining from the original roster. notable players: RGIII, Kaepernick, Martin, Morris, Gordon, Antonio Brown, V. Brown, J. Hunter, Wheaton, J. Baldwin, Rudolph, Kelce, Ertz, Housler. Team A now has 2014 1,1,3,4.

B is a borderline playoff team and lost Crabtree with the injury this off season. Notable WRs include: DT, Colston, Floyd (AZ), Denarius Moore, DHB. finished 6th out of 10 teams in 2013 but has improved by adding Chris Johnson to go along with Sproles and Forte. Team B now has 2014 2, 2, 3, 4. Solid team
not a huge trade here, but any opinions on this one? What are the thoughts on the rookie Dobson?
I think it's a big overpay but I'm really low on Dobson!
Seems like 2 2nds for a mid 1st. Those trades rarely work out. Dobson is a decent opportunity play but I don't anticipate this deal looking favorable to Dobber's side next year.

12 team PPR, start Q/RR/WWW/T/flex

gave Vick Ballard

received Andre Brown
Ignoring handcuff concerns I'd take Brown. Higher floor in a timeshare. Higher ceiling if Wilson gets hurt or doghoused (not that I think that will happen).
I felt the same way. The other owner has Bradshaw. I shopped T.Y. Hilton for RB depth and nothing came of it (I would want more than a Brown-level guy for Hilton), so I like giving Ballard and getting Brown as my RB4 AND keeping Hilton and my WR6.

12 team, 24 roster PPR league

I gave:

TE Rob Gronkowski

I got:

TE Jimmy Graham

Notes: A lateral move between the two best teams in this league for the two best players at that position.

Trade reflects dynasty strategy of the respective teams. I look at a shorter term strategy for players that can help me win in the next two years, while the other owner(s) has a longer term approach. Gronk's injury issues concerned me, plus I own Brees which gives a nice combo with Graham in weeks when they are connecting (but also sucks in weeks when they are not).
95% of people would take Graham over Gronk this isn't a lateral move I tried to move Gronk for Graham in my leagues got laughed at.

2014 2nd round pick
Reminds me of a trade in another league I seen where the guy gave Mike Williams and a 2nd round pick for a 2nd round pick......basically Williams for Free...this is basically Pitta for free.

Why? Because of his back? Gronk has been more dominate while on the field and the arm doesn't seem like a concern anymore.

Graham, and it isn't remotely close. Whoever got graham got over on the other guy
Graham hasn't produced to Gronk's level yet, despite commonly being referred to as 1a or 1b in dynasty at TE. If Gronk fully recovers there's no reason why that won't continue. Plus there's a decent age gap there.

If you look at the staff rankings (or just about any dynasty rankings) they are consistently falling at TE #1 and #2 and when tiers are given they alone are in the top tier. It is true that Graham is usually ranked above Gronk, there but are some among the rankers who prefer Gronk. I think while a majority of people would prefer Graham, they would not consider Gronk that much of a step down.

A.) It is close.

and

B.) The only reason it's close is because Gronk is banged up right this instant. Gronk is 2 1/2 years younger and has destroyed Graham in terms of production.

And last year some guys in the Staff rankings still had Gates rated in top 5 in dynasty TE's I have learned not to look at their rankings for dynasty they are very poor in most accounts.

 
Please tell that to the guys who own Graham in my leagues because I tried to trade them Gronk for Graham and they laughed at me.

You have posted so many ridiculous one sided trades from your leagues, the fact they laughed at you doesn't really care much weight.

Not sure I am posting any more ridiculous trades then the rest of the people so not sure what your getting at. I am sure everyone in your leagues are all superstar traders.

One of the staffers has Gronk at #3 in dynasty with V-Davis at #2...exhibit A of why I don't even look at them.

In the last 2 years Graham has averaged 16.65 points per game in PPR for 29 games. He missed one game and I didn't include week 17 since most leagues are done.

Gronk on the other hand has averaged 19.5 points per game in PPR for 25 games. He missed 5 games last year.

Almost 3 points a game difference between the top tight end and the next closest tight end in PPR for the last two years is a BIG difference.

No it isn't.
 
Basically a 2014 1st for Michael Floyd in my eyes, where would you project it?
Middle of the pack...Owner needed Palmer to free him up to trade Kaepernick or Russ Wilson.

The added bonus of getting rid of JStew was the best part of it.

I agree with your general point. But don't forget that Jimmy played through injury last year, knocking down his ppg, while Gronk sat out, leaving his ppg intact.

I don't understand how anyone can laugh at that offer. Gronk has been one of the best fantasy players ever, in terms of advantage/VBD. I think he is riskier than Graham, but has a higher upside. I'd still take Gronk.

No it isn't.
3 PPG is a big difference. As Bamac said, part of that is due to Jimmy being hampered. But 3 PPG is a very big difference.

 
Just to put 3 ppg in perspective, that's basically the difference between Adrian Peterson and Frank Gore over their careers.

Adrian Peterson: 17.00 PPG

Frank Gore: 13.06 PPG

I'd have looked for a more perfect 3 ppt, but this was just a hunch and I don't really have the time to look up others and check. Bottom line: 3-4 ppg is HUGE for value. Gronk has absolutely dominated Graham in FF point production.

 
10 Team 10 player keeper (I am not involved)......

Team A gives Reggie Wayne

Team B gives Antonio Brown

Team A needed a young keeper WR and Team B wanted the better 1 year option in his opinion.

The market value is really off, here. I'd much rather add to Brown to get AJ or Jackson, than move him straight up for Wayne.

As SSOG points out - eventually father time catches up, and he's not nice. It's far from a lock that 34/35 YO Wayne is as productive as 33/34 YO Wayne. Age matters, even when using a 1 year window.

I think there's a decent chance Brown out scores Wayne this coming year.
 
Almost 3ppg (Gronk vs Graham) is absolutely huge.

If all eight of your Q/R/W/T starters outscored the positional average by that margin every week you'd you'd go 10-3 (on average) in a 13 week season.

:yes:

And that is 3 over baseline. Not 3 over the #2 option at the position. The higher you get above baseline, when comparing 2 players, the more the point differential matters; the less likely it is that your opponents bridge that gap.

 
In one of my standard PPR 1/2/3 + 1 flex

Darren McFadden + 2014 1st (from what looks like the worst team in the league on paper)

for

James Jones and Julian Edelman

Not involved and obviously god awful.

If it's the team that traded McFadden and the pick away, I tend to beleive it :wink:

Some injuries can be played through some can't, Gronk has played when he was banged up too. It is still a big difference

I'm in a complete teardown-and-rebuild and currently have a glut of young talent.

I have Manuel, Tannehill and Ponder at QB.

I'm beefy at DL with JPP and Watt, and have Ansah waiting in the wings. Obviously a spot I can trade away from.

I have a glut of young talent at WR with Austin, Jeffrey, Woods, Hunter, Dobson and Patton being the best names. Another spot I feel somewhat comfortable trading from.

I'm looking to upgrade QB (obviously), and am trying to work a deal for Andrew Luck.

Likely a no-brainer, but....

Luck (open contract)

for

Tannehill (open)

Jeffrey (5 years)

Ansah (open)

My potential trade partner is also looking at Kevin Minter (open contract) as well. Trying to hold him but would consider adding him as the fourth component to add Luck. FWIW, I have Kuechly, Laurinaitis and Mercilus as top LB talent.

Thoughts?

Assuming Team A is rebuilding, this is a solid deal for them. Talent will be rich next year and while Bailey has some upside and Smith has "win now" value, I think I'd rather have the speculative pick.

I would take the pick here, even "A" wasn't planning on using the pick, it will have some trade value
