I just put him on my trade bait this morning. I will report back if I get any offers...... Just a guess, but knowing my league if I get any offers they will be 2nd round rookie picks.If we are comparing his value as the #1 passing option in STL to that of the #3 (behind Gronk and Hernandez) with the NE, I feel the value is roughly the same (with a slight bump to NE due to Brady). The issue is if the guy can suit up week to week. He certainly has not proven it over the last two years (playing 12 games over the period). Fantasy owners don't win their leagues with their starters in the training room. If I paid up for him, my priority would be to get his backup at all costs as it is the position that holds the value.
Agree that health is key for him....but disagree on value of team. I would much rather have him in NE than St.Louis. No one wanted to touch him until he signed in NE...now I am getting immediate interest.
As an Amendola owner, I think I would be insulted if offered that.
"insulted" at a late first would imply you think he's worth a lot more than that.So what do you think is he worth?
At this point in time, I wouldn't take less than a 1.04 and I am not even sure I would do that. I think he will be gold in PPR leagues - providing he can stay healthy (which is not a concern to me as I have yet to see any proof that there is such a thing as being injury prone).
Got that part right (at least in ppr).
Wow.
Agree, I'd take any future 1st for him if I had any depth at wr.It's amendola people, not Calvin Johnson.
Ppr and non-ppr almost need separate threads on this question.
I have him in a PPR dynasty where I am stacked at WR (Calvin, Marshall, Dez, S.Johnson, Amendola, T.Y. Hilton). I see no reason to trade him for a single draft pick. I would consider a top 3 pick this year (and obviously take 1.01), but I just don't like the prospects this year enough to trade a strong Brady target for one of them.What do you get with a late first? A player that has a less than 50% chance of being valuable, and probably not for 2-3 years after you draft him. Look at last year's draft, generally considered as better than this one... Richardson, Martin, Wilson, Blackmon, Griffin, and Luck... then Floyd, Wright, Quick, Jeffrey, Fleener, Pead, L.Miller, Hillman, et al. I like Miller, but would not trade Amendola for him until after I know Miami is not signing or drafting a good RB. Some may cite talent and prefer one of the other WRs, but I see no clear path to fantasy success for those guys. Alfred Morris went much later unless you drafted close to the season.There are players I like in this draft, but not enough to trade NE's slot WR that they just uncharacteristically paid real money to for. I would be amazed if anybody actually did in PPR.If I am trading Amendola in a ppr, it is either for a starter in a position of need or as part of a package for an upgrade. I do think Amendola's talent is underappreciated, and I think New England is a great spot for him. I don't think he is as good as Welker in the Welker role, but he is good enough to thrive. I would put the over/under for receptions at around 90.
As a non Amendola owner, the most I would offer is a late first--1.10 or later. For you to take offense is pretty sensitive. It isn't like he is a proven stud and he has consistently had health issues. If you can't stay healthy, it can sink a promising career.
It's not a 2 yr deal.
CAN I PLAY IN YOUR LEAGUE?!!!LOLZ!!You should kick that guy out.
its still a no brainer'Loomba said:
Because pick 10 is sooooooooo valuable.I would be insulted if offered pick 10, not even because it is a bad offer, but because it is a bad offer directly after that player ends up in a dream spot, and it's almost like you are thinking I am too stupid to have heard the news he went to New England, hoping I still thought he was in St Louis.'az_prof said:
Thats a bit silly to say not close. I have a feeling when he shops him around he will realize that was about what he will get.'HAM said:
He does know that I am a huge pats fan and probably was looking for max value.. But I can't go much further than that.
I'll give you Burleson for him.
I'd say no--but if you read the above posters--there were people getting insulted about getting offered first round picks for him. Burleson is far from that.
That's way too much anyway.
Doesn't matter. He's saying it's a 2 year deal. It is NOT a 2 year deal. On top of that, he's saying it could only be a 1 year player, so already shortening the contract for some arbitrary reason and then shortening it more on top of that. Maybe he's thinking of Welker's 2 year deal. Either way, it is a 5 year deal and that's a substantial difference than saying it's a 2 year deal.
It's not a "bad offer". Sorry, but it's not.I'm not saying you have to agree with the value, mind you - someone got 1.1 for him (that's just nuts, but whatever). But getting insulted by any first round pick for Danny Amendola is silly.
It does matter. Contracts are all about guaranteed money and if Danny doesn't step up within the first year or two, he'll likely get cut and knowing the Pats, it's unlikely he'll live out the contract.
Until they sign Emannuel Sanders and re-sign Julilan Edelman.
In dynasty at the beginning of 2012 he WAS worth a lot if you were PPR even if he was a Ram he was locked in and ready. How soon we forget....
I would take Decker right now.
