Thanks ... my mistake ... did not realise there was another thread on the subject ...
This.Calvin on Monday Night could have had 200 yards receiving if it weren't for Best exploding in the 2nd half. He was getting open with relative ease, will have 1-2 shots for a deep TD every week, and is uncoverable near the goalline. I wouldn't be surprised if he posted a 100/1550/22 season.DET's schedule is pretty favorable as well. SF, ATL, @DEN, bye,@CHI, CAR, GB, @NO, MIN,@OAK, SD, @GB. Most don't play Week 17, so there will be no cold weather games, they play 7 games on the track. From a fantasy perspective, there aren't any really scary defenses. GB was supposed to be good, but they have been average at best and good offenses have shredded them.IMO, Calvin will average 6 rec, 90 yds receiving, and 1 TD every week going forward. (Yes I think he can threaten Moss's record, but he likely will fall short.....I am guessing 20 TDs). In a PPR with no bonuses, that's about 21 points per week. Based on Dodds' forward rankings, I think Calvin is going to score 40-50 points more than an average WR1 in a 12 team league. That's an average WR1.....so WR6 so we're talking about someone like Wallace or Jennings. I can't imagine someone giving Jennings and others to make up a 40 point difference. That's essentially Wallace or Jennings AND another stud player. Won't happen.Therefore, unless your team is so bad, there's no way that you can trade Calvin and actually improve your team. So I think right now he's virutally untradeable.
but trading is fun!!!
I would expect to gain by trading him for more value than he is currently providing my team
I believe that's the very definition of selling high.
What's so hard to believe? I guarantee he won't keep with his current pace through the rest of the season. If you can trade to someone who thinks he will, you take advantage of the fish and get more value in return.Honestly, I have no clue why this concept is so difficult for so many of you.I envision you guys having the following conversation with your league mates:You: "No, I won't trade CJ"League mate: "But I'll give you Darren McFadden AND Dwayne Bowe for him!"You: "No! He WON ME SOME WEEKS!"League mate: "Fine, I'll give you McFadden and Hakeen Nicks!"You: "
What part of 'He won me some weeks' don't you understand? *reject*"
I think this guy can only afford schwag.
agree. he's at 1 TD/3.2 REC. that's unsustainable.What's so hard to believe? I guarantee he won't keep with his current pace through the rest of the season.

I hope you are fishing. That is a lot of swill for Megatron. Both DeAngelo and Tampa Mike are just a hair above waiver wire quality and Vernon Davis is solid, but not elite. You should be able to command a king's ransom and instead you're settling for scraps. But, this feels like fishing to me.
Thanks for the response. Yes I suppose I will keep fishing, but it's hard to believe someone in my league is willing to give me 3 "starters" for 1 player. Even if the 2 are so-so.Btw I am a cheesehead

It all depends on value over replacement. I couldn't make that deal because the increase I get in value of Forte over my RBBC (Wells/Best) is nowhere near what I lose in replacing CJ with the likes of Gaffney/Burleson. I think anyone who drafted CJ with an upside down strategy and hit on a couple RBs is in the same boat.
To me selling high means you think his current numbers are highly inflated and you expect his numbers to drop off significantly in the future. If you have real bad holes in your team which can not be addressed via waiver wire, then by all means trade. If you are only going to marginally improve a couple of positions, I don't see trading megatron.'Warrior said:I would expect to gain by trading him for more value than he is currently providing my team
There is a guy in my league who has Calvin Johnson and is 0-5. I can definitely see a reason why he would trade Calvin to upgrade at multiple positions.
I don't know, do you think the other team in your league would trade with you?
I think some one's trying to sucker you on D. Williams' one good game (where he only had nine carries).
Maybe I'm missing another QB there, but I don't see how you have a QBBC. It looks like Stafford's your every week starter. You don't really rotate him with Dalton, do you?In any case, how does you going with a QBBC have anything to do with whether you'd trade Calvin Johnson?
