Demaryious Thomas moving forward.. (1 Viewer)

I searched and didn't see a lot of DT talk so I thought I would post…

Back to back 90-1400 seasons had him drafted almost unanimously as the #2 WR in FF… he is off to a suprisngly slow start… anyone have any insight or thoughts to how he will rebound in 2014?

 
I don't have anything to add regarding his situation but I trade for him last week - gave up Harvin and Ridley in non PPR.

 
Obtained for A.Johnson and Donald Brown.

DT isn't going away, he's a beast. Teams have focused coverage on him from what I have seen, he's been nicked up and uncharacteristically dropped several passes.

Bye came at a good time IMO.

All of that can be fixed, and now with Welker back, and the other Thomas totally tearing it up, defenses can't afford to focus so much on him.

 
I was looking at making an offer, and it seems like everyone is giving up quite a bit so far. I guess the feeling is that he will be a top 5 or 6 WR the rest of the way?

 
He will Go off this weekend.... Way too talented to be playing the way he is right now.... Let the running game get going ...so Thomas can catch come bombs downfield

Is Donald Brown ( soon to become a backup RB again ) and Andre Johnson ( ageing WR with a bad QB and competitive younger WR across from him ), really that much to pay ?

Good work by Mighty Mice I say, managing to grab Thomas for those two.

I was ecstatic to get him for harvin and Ridley in noon PPR. Ridley is in RBBC and harvin isn't being used in a way that scores max points in my scoring system.

Two of us have said Asiata. He's the definition of selling high. Likely grabbed off waivers and is a teams 3rd/4th RB. Its also starting to look like McKinnon is going to be getting more touches.

Him + at best guys that at WR2, doesn't seem like too much for a guy with top 5 WR potential.

That's a steal.

I have a feeling both he and Manning will come roaring out of the bye week to post big numbers.

 
Every offer I have seen in this thread would make my head explode if I was the DT owner. Just terrible, and those people are considering them???

Good god

First of all, I agree. But...

No sense in making an offer the owner can't refuse, if you're trying to buy low.

When trying to gauge his value, it's much better to start low and work your way up. Am I wrong?

I second this post.

I own Thomas in both of my leagues and would laugh if I was offered the garbage thats being talked about in here.

 
In a 16 team PPR league, I got DT for Alfred Morris and Markus Wheaton (the other owner was starting Ridley and Richardson at RB so I think he was feeling a little desperate).

 
Just offered Demarco Murray and Cordarelle Patterson for Leveon Bell and Demaryius Thomas in a PPR league. It's basically the #1 RB/#13 WR for the #2 RB/#60 WR to date.

i said..................."and people are considering them???"

 
Sanders is getting all the targets.
Oh, well, lets just assume that will continue and trade Thomas away for pennies on the dollar then
I got Sanders on the cheap. At this point, I prefer him. He's my WR4 and bye week fill in but before their bye week, only Calvin and Jordy had more targets. Sanders just need to score and he will be the talk of the community.

As a current DT owner without a reliable QB (thanks Brady)... I'm considering a package for him including Aaron Rodgers + top 3 first round pick and another offer involving Cruz (I'd prefer Antonio Brown)/Hyde/and likely top 5 first round rookie pick. And both of these I feel like aren't enough. Don't know if that helps. Most of these offers in this thread are so terrible I would assume the owners were just trying to take advantage of me and that would make me not want to counter any of them.

80 yard td called back by a stupid offensive lineman to far down the field didn't help either. I believe this guy can put it all together, but they def need to start targeting this guy more as he sometimes is ignored, not dismissing all the drops but E. sanders,welker, Jthomas shouldn't be getting more love then DT going forward, if they do their's a problem.

Great move. I own Thomas and there is no way I am moving him right now. I'm going to see where he takes me for the rest of the year. I agree that the bye came at the right time. I feel like the first 3 weeks were the worst I'm going to get from him.

I'm also a Donald Brown owner and am feverishly trying to move him before he gets nothing against the Jets D-line and before Ryan "hurt feelings" Mathews comes back.

I wouldn't trade Brown straight up for DT.

Yeah, who would you trade Brown straight up for? He's probably the MVP of fantasy so far. On pace for 1700 and 20.

I should have added more, I only play in dynasty leagues. It isn't like Brown is having a blow up year. He kept pace with DT point wise last season when the Broncos had a record breaking offense. I wouldn't kill anyone if they preferred DT to Brown, but to want Brown, plus a top 5 pick and a very valuable asset such as Hyde is crazy in my opinion

Haha it wasn't a stupid lineman, it was all Thomas' fault for not coming back to or behind the line of scrimmage before catching the ball. Linemen were exactly where they should've been.
 
Trade in my league went McCoy for DT.

I guess both owners thought they bought low on the other player, but I'd gladly take DT, for no other reason than his bye has already happened. More importantly though, his poor stats seem to come from bad luck/injury concerns/defensive attention, to me a lot more correctable than the offensive line woes in Philadelphia.

As a DT owner, I'm admittedly frustrated, and probably would sell for less than he's worth right now.

Interesting. I can see the argument but that's definitely the contrarian view. And I wouldn't. But Brown is having a great season so far so I could see why you would feel that way.

 
I face the D.Thomas owner in my primary league this week, and I own D.Thomas in my sole losing record league (0-4!).

Thusly I expect he will light the world on fire come Sunday.

The bye week does seem to be at a great time for him.

To the DT/McCoy trade...I agree I'd rather be on the DT side of that. That Eagles line is just...no good.
