I don’t own him, but if I was buying I wouldn’t pay anywhere close to full price. There’s no guarantee he will come back totally healthy (though he should be able to) and there’s certainly no guarantee he’ll be on the Cowboys next year.
I tend to agree with you and I am trying to acquire him. So I'll be specific for Dak in a 12 team super flex league would K Drake and K Golladay feel like a fair price with those questions around dak? Or is that still too much.
I ultimately did, and I’m happy I did so. Especially with COVID I don’t want to end up with no TE to start. I’ll figure out my embarrassment of riches later
I don't play superflex so I'm sure I am undervaluing Dak, but that seems like too much to me. I'm a big Golladay fan though.
This wouldn’t be close if I owned Dak in SF. Drake has not looked good this year so for me it’s Golladay for Dak. Dak was putting up stud numbers and I would expect the same when he returns next year.
I own Dak, but not in a Super Flex league. I would not trade him for Drake and Golladay. Edmonds has looked better than Drake so far this season.
I actually was coming here to post that it dawned on me that Robby Anderson may be on the Robert Woods path. Purgatory for his first four years in the league. Gets a second contract somewhere and starts immediately producing, and then is doubted because of all the data from the prior four years.
Not that Bridgewater is a world beater, at least he's competent. This is more than can be said for Jets quarterbacks. Also the coaches in Carolina have used Anderson effectively as more than just a deep threat. Bridgewater tends to take what the defense gives him, so Anderson doing a lot of the underneath work bodes well.
Even if Dak comes back healthy these truly magical seasons where everything just lines up perfectly are rarely repeated, so it's a HUGE hit to Dak's value that he is done for this year when he seemed to be in the process of one of those all-time great seasons.
Wait wut? Golladay for any QB not named Mahomes/Jackson is a smash accept straight up in a 1 QB league. Who cares how bad Drake looks sell him for a 3rd but man I'd take Golladay in a flash.
I appreciate the feedback from everyone, but the owner with Dak in this league took Drake and Kenny G for him. I am obviously rebuilding and I hated to let Golladay go, but getting Dak seemed the right move.

Sucks that Reagor got hurt. He showed some flashes and Philly offense is desperate for playmakers. Looking forward to his return and seeing where he slots in.hispeedthinmint said:

I think a big part of being good at this is being an early adopter on guys that absolutely look the part and being willing to “buy high” compared to their months-old rookie draft value, before we actually get close to the real high point. Now you can certainly whiff doing this, but you can also lock down guys before they go from risers for some to studs for all.
Maybe prior to Cook's contract extension, but I wouldn't pay anything near that now. Not for a guy who is game by game injury replacement for a sure fire starter, who will get 1/4-1/5 work in his role. That's the reality of his utility/expectations over the next couple years, until he maybe gets a chance as a FA when his rookie contract expires.
Yesterday I saw him moved for Aiyuk, Marquise Brown, and a late (and devy weakened) 1st.
This has been the foundation of my dynasty strategy for the last 3+ years now. It seems like every year I'm getting in a discussion with someone on here who is saying "don't overreact to 4-5 weeks" and I'm replying with "underreacting to these 4-5 weeks is even more detrimental". Glad to see someone coming in on the same side this year.
Thomas is overrated imo. He's not old but you're gaining a lot of years with Metcalf. And this looks like it for Brees so great time to sell.
Very good post.
Having Kittle/Kelce is such a huge benefit, it truly is a difference maker. Everyone has good receivers, everyone has good QB, it's RB and TE that make or break you. I've reached out to the Kittle owner a couple times and I've been told that he is basically untradeable, as it would cost me basically two whole drafts AND an RB2 to get him
Unless you have premium TE scoring, this is a negative EV move. Not just for Fant (who I think may end up being replaced by Albert O), but this goes for all of the middling TE1s
Sounds like we just disagree on Fant. He’s 22 YO and only in his second season. That he’s already a mid-TE1 is a great sign, but that’s not why he’s valuable. You’re buying his ceiling, not his floor. Fant doesn’t need TDs to be relevant. He’s on a 76/880 over 16 game pace. Those are Ertz numbers. Already. Small sample size, but again, you’re buying his ceiling.
Great points. Was just talking to a league mate the other day about the same thing. WRs are a dime a dozen. Gonna win leagues with top RBs and Kittle and Kelce.
Good post. I think the advantage of being strong at WR is watered down right now if having a top WR group is your main strategy (e.g. taking WRs in early consecutive rounds of a startup). That said, in the leagues I play in (ppr/flex) having strong WRs is a minimum necessary condition for competing. So I still find it important to prioritize them. Because the guys in my leagues still place high value on the position, you have to spend early rookie picks and allocate a good bit of FAAB to build a strong core, and trading for them is costly.
I was all over Fant last year, and then the team went out and bought a whole war chest of shiny new WRs and TEs.
I like him too much to be scared off by any of this. And his price will continue rising if he keeps putting up numbers. Again, I think we just disagree on the player. Your opinion is likely closer to consensus than mine, fwiw.
Again, I’m trading for what I think he will be. I’m trading a ~baseline starter whom I can replace relatively easily for what I view as a solid gamble on the next Kittle or Kelce.
I have felt this way for years and it's amplified even more this year.
It’s really hard to trade for starting RBs or high end TEs in-season. I mentioned Swift and Fant for that reason. It’s still possible to pivot from WR value though. The top 2 or 3 RBs from the 2021 class will be worth more than Juju or Moore in April. But you might be able to get the picks to select them with (and then some) for Juju or Moore today, for example.
Yeah that is a good point, though if the pick belongs to its original team l've found it can be difficult to convince a rebuilding team to trade away picks, even if it's for young players. A lot of people just have it stuck in their head that rebuilds should be done largely through the draft. And to be fair to them, guys like JuJu and DJM aren't players I would be looking to rebuild around myself.Concept Coop said:
