DJax > Austin/Hardy imo.  Others may differ.

Davis > Johnson, but positional need really dictates this part.

Lastly, the value of a free roster spot, which is non-trivial but often overlooked.

If the other owner accepts, I'd say you've come out ahead.

 
My turn...

I'm a little weak at LB, he's a little weak at DE.  My PPR WRs are fine: Bryant, Marshall, Edelman, Floyd, JBrown, Austin, Dorsett, Strong, Devin Smith, Randle, Hardy, Abbrederis, Patterson.

I give up Tavon Austin, Justin Hardy, and Michael Johnson DE

I get Desean Jackson, a droppable player, and Demario Davis LB.

I think it's a fair trade, but I favor it slightly.  Any other opinions?
I know Austin gets some rushing stats to boost his numbers but I've just never boarded that particular hype train. Michael Johnson is in his twilight. I'd take that trade and expect a better year from Desean that might make him decent enough trade bait. With expectations low for Cleveland's offense, Davis could be the steal of this trade based on opportunity.

A very good point. I'm always looking to squeeze that extra prospect onto a full roster. 

 
Noob here. How much BB% is Randy Gregory worth now that his suspension was reduced?

The league is scheduled to increase IDP scoring every year from now until 2019, so that 2019 is close to 50/50 offense/defense (after startup people complained that IDP was too low). I kind of missed out on DEs during the draft, and did just acquire a few young guys in Mario Edwards, Henry Anderson and Devin Taylor, and I also have Everson Griffith and Demarcus Lawrence. Is Gregory worth going after aggressively (15-20% of total budget)?

Thanks!

Virtually impossible to answer without knowing how your league spends.  I wouldn't think you would need to spend that much especially if IDP scoring is well below the offensive scoring.

Thanks for the reply. We did the startup in May, so it is a little bit tough to answer how the league spends. 

Gregory went for $16 ($200 budget) right after the draft, and after the future scoring changes were decided (before suspension went up to 10 games). Some other defensive player activity after that were decided in that timeframe.

Shaq Lawson $31

Devin Taylor $21 (me)

Vonn Bell $24

DeVondre Campbell $16

I am guessing $16 is his floor since one guy was willing to pay that when his suspension was initially 4 games. Do you think he is worth going for over that?

ETA- I guess the initial reports of his appeal being overturned were premature, so maybe this is moot.

He's available in one of my leagues, and I'll put in a minimal bid for him.  It's hard to put much trust in a guy who had a bad rep coming out and is already suspended... seems like it will be chronic.

ETA: I don't see them at the first link in this thread, either - the running IDP articles page.

Looks like people are willing to spend quite a bit on flyers.  If you really want him I am guessing it would take 10-15% of your budget.  I wouldn't go that high and would probably spend about 5%.  He has a big risk from the off field stuff of never playing and it does seem to be a pattern.  In my dynasty league I took a flyer and picked him up real late but that was before the suspension was reduced so most teams were just staying away. 

 
I just won Ray-Ray Armstrong & Randy Gregory in BBW and can only keep one before rosters are finalized. Which one do you like as a stash the most?  16 team dynasty league.  We start 2 DE's and 3 LB's.  Thanks!

 
I'd keep Gregory over Armstrong.  I don't see Armstrong as roster-worthy, while Gregory is a little more boom/bust.

 
Sean Spence or Thurston Armbrister worth a look for dynasty?
