Had enough of Michael Thomas? (1 Viewer)

Oh man. Thomas has killed me this year. I have him on 3/7 teams including my big auction league. The weird thing is that now on that team, I'm okay with him not being back. I have Diontae Johnson, DJ Moore, and Kenny Golladay as my WRs, and I don't know where I'd put Thomas. I've been wondering if now is the time to deal Thomas while there's possibly optimism for a return. 

 
What exactly are you getting and giving ?

Do you need a qb and how do they score ?
I give Michael Thomas and Teddy Bridgewater.  I get Godwin, Dobbins, Lindsay, PWill, Tannehill.  I drop Minshew, Ebron, D'Ernest.  I've tried to get Malcolm Brown over Tannehill but he demands AB back which I'm not going to do.  

Roster:

Lamar, Bridgewater, Minshew.  Miles, Dalvin, Austin, and all their handcuffs.  Latavius.   Lockett, McLaurin, DJM, MT, AB.  Kittle, Jonnu, Ebron.

See that's my thing.  I have Lockett, McLaurin, and DJM to start while MT sits so I don't feel rushed to deal him in a dynasty league at his rock bottom value.  The argument is will his value fall more?

Im a huge MT fan and not convinced on Dobbins and Lindsay. Tannehill > Minshaw/Brdigewater.

Thinking I would pull the trigger mainly because of your other WR depth.

Not likely but not impossible that MT gets traded by the Saints, then its a lost year and a ? for 2021.

Personally Im going to hold in my leagues.

LOL, well....that's not a lot of help!  Basically you're echoing my exact on the fence feelings.  I think if Godwin wasn't out this week I could have made myself do it.  I've told him that if he can wait until MT is declared active this week or not, it will help make my decision.  I don't think i can stomach another week.

Ha yeah. Im actually kinda regretting jumping into the convo. Anything else I can say (you know like Minshew losing his job) is just going to make it worse for you...

 
I just offered Terry and Jared Cook to the Michael Thomas owner.  He is basically out of it as he had Dak and Saquon as well.  its a two keeper league and Terry would count towards a 13th round pick next year.... I have Claypool and will be keeping him for a 14th instead of Terry.  Owner is considering.

 
Dealt him late last week

Gave up MT, Brady, Mostert

Got Chark, Rodgers, Chubb

Who knows if it was the right move...was dealing 2 guys I drafted pretty high that have been dinged up much of the year for the hope of Chubb down the stretch (and wanting Rodgers...of course then Brady blows up...eventhough Rodgers still had a nice game).  Probably overspent...probably could have gotten more than just Chark as the WR tradeoff.

 
Its not crazy to be looking to deal him in dynasty. I just did.

1. Hes 27 and a half, and although that's not "old", you dont know when he starts to decline. 

2. Brees may not be back in '21. I've never seen another QB forcefeed a WR like he does with MT.

3. Injuries are starting to affect his stock.

4. Is he becoming a diva? That's not gonna help things.

5. If the Saints add another good WR, that will definitely decrease his targets. 

6. I am pretty sure he already hit his career peak, so now is the best time to deal him. If his value hasn't dipped too much. 

 
I was offered Godwin, Dobbins, Lindsey, PWilliams for MT in my dynasty league.  I passed.   But I have DJM, Lockett, McLaurin to man the ship while we wait for Captain Mike.
I don't think I'd trade any combination of Godwin/Dobbins + Lindsay/Williams for MT much less al 4. I'd see if you can still get that deal.

I couldn't get magic beans for Chark.  It's a shame.  I think he can really take-off when they get a legit QB.

I can still get it....Just waiting to see if he plays this week.  If he does, I need him.  If he doesn't, I still don't know if I do it because of Godwin's injury.   Not that high on the other guys either.  Tannehill has been added too now.  MT and Bridgewater for Godwin, Dobbins, Lindsay, PWill, Tannehill.  I drop Minshew, Rashad Higgins, and Ebron.

Nice call.

 
Diva, and damaged goods, and no qb

Just the aspect of losing Brees soon I decided to deal him in summer of 2019

Netted Ridley, hunt, Mike Williams, and 1.2 in super flex for David Johnson and Thomas

1.2 became Kyler.  At the time, I had some cold feet, especially as he had his career year.

bviously, turned out to be shrewd for me.

I'm considering offering Thomas for Arob or another similar player. Godwin and dobbins is a quick accept.

 
midweek, day before they essentially ruled him out for the next 2 weeks, I moved him... Id finally had enough (I posted this in the dynasty thread that day)

1PPR Keep 3 (infinite keep length) league:

Gave: MT

Got: Lamb + 2021 2nd rnd pick

despite a 0 from Lamb this past sunday, Id redo the trade 100x out of 100.


I reminded him just a few days ago of this deal. He wept
