I own Dez, and getting some interesting offers. But that team is 7-0 and I don't believe the potential upgrade at other positions warrants diluting the strength of my top lineup for the playoffs. If I was 3-4 or 4-3 and the playoff picture was less clear, then yeah I'd sell Dez for the right offer.

I'd rather Calvin than Dez. Also Graham.

Calvin, Charles, Peyton, jimmy if healthy
Jamaal Charles, easily. Matt Forte, too. Both have almost as many catches as Dez, and both get signficant yards on the ground, as well. Both have as many, or more TDs, as well.
As far as talking about NE shutting out Graham, the same thing has happened to Bryant. Week 1 againt NYG (who sucks against WR), and against Washington. He had 6 points and 8 points in those games (PPR).
He's a great player, and if you have him on your roster, you're doing well, but to try to act like he is untradeable is just silly. You wouldn't get those offers in a competitive league, but if you did, you'd be a fool not to take them.

Dez and BJGE have been offered for AP from a RB needy team in a .5 PPR.

I have AP, and will probably offer him for Dez and Woodhead.
I would definitely trade Dez for Manning, Calvin, Charles and Graham. I would probably trade him for Forte (in PPR).
Because of emotional bias, I would give strong consideration to A.J. Green. But a quick glance at both their schedules tells me Dez is better set up in the 2nd half.

I have Dez, and would only deal him for AP if you threw in Woodhead. Not even sure about that to be honest, if Minny doesn't get a real QB soon.

& you haven't accepted that because? yea BJGE can prob be dropped, but dez for ap straight up is a deal as a dez owner I wouldn't take.

Jimmy Graham is about 6'6, 250, 4.5, 40 inch vert, great hands, & possibly the most precise passer in the NFL. Every receiver gets taken out of a game here and there - Calvin, Dez, AJ, Marsh, etc... The only thing that has me a little nervous is his injury, couldn't have less concern about the doughnut.

In redraft there are a lot of guys I would trade him for 1 - 1. McCoy, Forte, Charles, Graham if healthy, Manning, Calvin,
In dynasty there are only a handful, McCoy, Graham, Gronk, Green, maybe Julio this offseason

I would prefer the following players going forward over Dez Bryant in a typical redraft PPR league (assuming start 1/2/3/1 with 1 flex):
Jamaal Charles
LeSean McCoy
Matt Forte
Adrian Peterson
Calvin Johnson
Rob Gronkowski (yes, I said it)
In a typical dynasty PPR, I would prefer McCoy, Green, or Gronkowski.

There's context to every deal, which is why I don't get into it too much on these forums.
I already have VjAx, Fitzgerald, Mike Wallace, and Hakeem Nicks on this team whereas I'd be starting SjAx and Ridley if I traded for Dez. It comes down to points. AP plus Wallace (who are both past their byes) should score more than Dez plus (insert RB2/3 here) ROS.
I also can't really judge AP on the smallest of one game sample sizes where the Vikings broke in an obviously under-prepared QB on MNF. With Ponder now starting, AP could easily out-score Dez for the rest of the season at a more premium fantasy position.

I hear you, their offense just looks like a train wreck to me.There's context to every deal, which is why I don't get into it too much on these forums.

He will never be figured out but I think they don't have a WR that helps him. Which let's D's double team him without fear of an outside threat

Charles and McCoy have equally easy schedules, per the FBG rest of season SOS. You have a legit argument with Forte, Graham, and Gronk, although positional considerations probably play a heavy part in people's reasoning there. AP and Calvin have tough schedules, but obviously the track record of matchup-proof production is what is driving the preference there.
Not saying you're wrong, just giving the other side.

On a personal note, grew up it Pitt, not a Cowboy fan by any means. I agree with everything you said.
