**Official 2015 In-Season Dynasty Completed Trades Thread** (1 Viewer)

Dyno PPR 16 Teams - 53 Men Roster (IDP)

Gave: Jimmy Graham
Got: Eric Ebron, Brandon Lafell.

I love Ebron pedigree and think he can be a Top 5 at position for years to come. Lafell is a nice throw in. (I have Ebron higher than Graham as of now).

 
And it should be noted that you're very down on LM. He's a 24 year-old rb averaging 4.7 ypc over 500+ carries. This is exactly what you want from a top dynasty rb. It's honestly madness to me that you would take TJ Yeldon over him.
I'd take Yeldon over Miller and honestly it's not even a close call for me.
I'd take Miller quite easily.
I'd probably take yeldon but it's very close.

I have Ebron but still think Graham is better.

 
Dealing him for a mid future 1st??? Ugly
I think we get it.
You know what else is ugly giving up pick 4 and 6 an getting Allen Robinson and Lamar Miller. So was about 20 other trades in my league. People rip people off all the time its just what happens when you play with people who don't know what they are doing and my league has tons but the best part is every time I have made a trade the past few years it has blown up in my face even when Ghostguy is saying I ripped them off like when I got Trent and when I got Foles and gave up a 1st which would been Beckham. Welcome to the world of fantasy where no one values anything similar and everyone gets beaten up in trades and the rich get richer.
Well said.

I don't post trades in here because I'm looking for feedback or to gloat at my "win". I post trades in here for the same reason I come here to read trades, to try my best to gauge trade value of players.

But the comments, grades, who won/lost, for pure entertainment reading back in this thread is fantastic but sometimes makes me wince when I see how wrong I was, but I'm not alone so it's all good.
2013 after he's traded to Indy: I trade Trent for mid 1st.Ghost guy - that's terrible value!

Me- but I think Trent sucks.

Ghost guy - doesn't matter, terrible value!

2014: Used pick to draft Benjamin

Ghost guy- you can't play result! Trade still sucked.

Me- no it didn't
This is why trades are judged many different ways. It WAS terrible value at that time

If I think Peterson is completely finished and will never do anything again starting tomorrow, I am not going to go unload him for pennies on the dollar. If I traded Peterson right now for a future 3rd and he never scored one more point in the league, it would still have been a terrible trade regardless of the outcome.

If you don't like a guy or think he is overvalued, fine, but trade him for market value or at least close to it. Not half or a third of his value.
That's great in theory but the reality is "market value" varies widely by league.

By all means shop around and don't accept the first offer just because you're too lazy to test the market. But if the best you can get for a player you no longer want and prefer what is offered, take the deal regardless of what the player might go for in another league.

I have Ebron but still think Graham is better.
From a talent standpoint I agree. But 6 Years are a lot and their ADP is not that different now (Graham 55 / Ebron 66).

My biggest problem is that Graham was a Top 24 asset no more than 1 year ago and lost 40 positions in 5 months. Too much of a sell low?

No thanks, bad precedent, and your league mates will think you are an idiot and never pay anything any more for guys if you are selling the Petersons and Lynchs of the world for 3rd round picks. When people know you will always take "the best offer you get", you aren't going to get many good offers.

I would rather let a guy like AP rot than take a 3rd rounder right now. The reward on any future deals more than makes up for it.

If we are talking about leagues with contracts/salaries and stuff that completely changes everything, so league context is rather important, which is why this thread is so frustrating at times. People don't include vital information, and then we spend pages arguing over deals when we wouldn't be if we had been told the details.

When Calvin Johnson gets traded for a future 2nd everyone blows up. Then we come to find out Calvin is in the final year of his contract and would cost 75% of the salary cap if re-signed the following year and everyone shuts up.

Bottom line, some people are much better at working value than others, and it shows in the results.

Maybe in your leagues. In mine, if people know you'll take the best offer, they make more offers partly because they don't want other teams getting great deals. They might not start out offering a great deal but it gets the discussion going. To be clear here, you need to be active, make counter offers, etc and not just take what is given to you. A problem with letting Peterson rot if you're rebuilding is he probably helps you win a few game which in most leagues decreases the value of your future picks. You can't not start him as that would be tanking, whereas trading him away isn't.

FFPC is opposite, if you miss the playoffs there is a losers bracket for the #1-6 picks, so it doesnt really benefit you to do that unless someone else has your future 1st, and you have someone else in the losers bracket.

I am very active and make a lot of deals compared to my leaguemates, all without EVER selling for pennies on the dollar. Not once. Ever

 
Last week traded:

Lacy

Foster

Dorsett

for

Flacco

Ingram

Marshall

Needed a starting WR and RB and trying to make a play this season.

Yeah I think the problem is guys dismantle teams for the allure of the 1.01 and do crap deals to do it. I get strange responses not trading productive players for less value than I think they are worth because my team had some bad luck and isn't competing. It isn't like I am being unreasonable either I just think production is worth something even if it is maybe 2-3 years and not 10

No idea why this trading good players for junk value gets a free pass on tanking but to me it is tanking and messes with the integrity of the league. I don't play FFPC so I can't comment on how that works out but I feel like the 1.01 is partly overrated and overvalued in most leagues because of all the good players/value you have to dump on the way to getting it.

Anyway I think it is a foolish and terrible idea trading away good players for sub-par value to not score as many points to give your team a better shot at 1.01. You are probably better off with <insert old productive guy here>/1.03 than the crap you sold him for and 1.01

 
Gave:

John Brown

Michael Floyd

Marshawn Lynch

Thomas Rawls

2016 Mid First

2016 Late First

Got:

Devonte Freeman

Tevin Coleman

James Jones

EJ Manuel.

Obviously going for broke right now. Neither Floyd nor Brown is really a starter for me. I have Evans, Dez, Edelman (had at time of trade), and AJ Green at wideout.

Lacy

Foster

Dorsett

Flacco

Ingram

Marshall

I get Lacy is brutal right now but think this is an undersell. You got some guys that will help so I can understand it.

I was never over the moon on Lacy but from a value perspective seems light

Wow. You are going for it.

Not terrible for you if you believe in Freeman long term. I don't so seems like an overpay but certainly should help you out this year

Agree that I possibly undersold but I see this as pretty much a Lacy and Dorsett for Ingram and Marshall as Flacco was a throw in and I think Foster is about done.

Perhaps I didn't get "full value" on what Lacy was, and maybe will be again, but feel I got enough value in Ingram that is was worth it to get the play now and mitigate the risk of Lacy spinning down the drain.

As for Marshall I needed a WR to start now and I have a few young WRs with potential who aren't contributing now (Alholor, Parker, Funchess)

I would never fault someone for paying for Marshall. Haven't been many WR's over the past 10 years as productive and reliable as Marshall and I don't expect that to change in the immediate future. Probably one of the more underrated/undervalued assets over the past year for sure

Yeah, I am not really sure if I do or not. I think he's going to have to stay sharp though, otherwise Coleman might take over and be a stud himself. I'm in it to win it this season though for sure. Losing Edelman and Dion Lewis set me back but nonetheless it's championship or bust for me. This is my roster for reference.

Superflex

QB - Bortles

RB1 -- Freeman

RB2 - Demarco

WR1 - Evans

WR2 - Dez

WR3 - AJ Green or Amendola

TE - Gates

K - who cares

D - Denver or Rams

Flex - Cutler or Tannehill.

What sucks is that I'm virtually guaranteed a playoff spot but almost certainly will not be able to obtain the first round bye. So I just kind of have to wait out the next 3 weeks and hope my guys stay healthy. The games themselves mean very little.

Well yeah. People that sell all their productive playes cheap usually shck forever. No secret there.

There IS a right way to do reload for the following year though.

 
Is there a player projected to be All That in the 2016 draft?

I'd much rather sell next year's draft picks for guys who either may have lost some of their luster or are hurt right now.

Do you have many leather-bound books and your apartment smells of rich mahogany?

 
Freeman for Jeffery in 1ppr 10 team. Freeman side rebuilding with jordy, evans, watkins, Jmatthews at wr and zero rb. Jeffery side likely SB favorite/bears fan.

 
12 team ppr, start 1 qb, 1-5 rb, 2-6 wr, 1-5 te

Gave L Miller and 2016 1st likely 9-12 overall as i am #2 seed at the moment

Got Dez

Gives me dez, evans, julio as my 3 starters

Ingram, lat murray, hill as rb

I don't use the word "hero" very often, but you are the greatest hero in American history.
We need a new bud light commercial for this one.

"Mister Fantasy Football trader guy"
"I'm Colin Kaepernick"

"And I'm Fantasy Football Trader Colin Kaepernick!"

And the split-screen punchline would be that they're exactly the same d-bag.

 
12 tm ppr QRRWWWT 1 flex

team a gives: Odell Beckham Jr., Dion Lewis

team b gives: Antonio Brown, Marshawn Lynch

Teams are 1 and 2 in the overall standings currently

 
12 team ppr, start 1 qb, 1-5 rb, 2-6 wr, 1-5 te

Gave L Miller and 2016 1st likely 9-12 overall as i am #2 seed at the moment

Got Dez

Gives me dez, evans, julio as my 3 starters

Ingram, lat murray, hill as rb
In a 1RB 4 flex ppr league this is Dez easily for me even with another 1st on the Miller side

 
Sold draft picks early in the season to take my shot. Through REALLY bad luck of the schedule I'm 3-6 (losing three times to the highest score in the league, twice while having the #2 high score.) :ptts:

Sold Ryan Mathews and Larry Fitzgerald for a 2016 1st.
Sold Emmanuel Sanders for a 2016 1st. Should be 7-10
So, after begging off my chances in 2015, all of a sudden I find myself one game out of a playoff spot with 3 weeks to play. And I have a very favorable schedule.

I'm now a buyer again, and I was depleted at WR after selling Fitz and Sanders.

Got this one offered to me today and hit accept immediately:

get:

Amendola, Danny NEP WR

Crabtree, Michael OAK WR

for:

Sims, Charles TBB RB

Lockett, Tyler SEA WR

Year 2017 Round 3 Draft Pick

10 team 2QB 3WR 2RB 2TE 2Flex .5ppr - Not involved

Team A traded: 2016 2nd and 3rd (2nd likely late, 3rd likely early-mid)

Team B traded: Charcandrick West

Team A has Charles and B is out of contention

 
14 team qrwwft non ppr

Gave c west

Got b cooks

Team getting cooks is 5-5 and 1/2 game back in playoff race

Brees/Dalton

Mccoy/Blount

Brady/Stafford

Lynch/cj2k/j Charles/forsett

Calvin/arob/martavis

Lacy for Forte straight up, no chaser.
Yeah. Value still likely rolls to the Lacy side but win now move can't argue based on what we have seen this year

PPR

Just got Landry, gave Matt Jones, a very late 1st (going to win the league) and a 3rd.
Pretty solid add to WR but pretty even

Received : Hurns

Rebuilding. WR now Jordy, Evans, Watkins, Hurns, j. Matthews, Amendola
This is Hurns by a whole Hurns...a 'cuff for a player that is ~top20 positional scoring is not a good deal even if in a 10 team you don't project to ever start either

Rawls upside maybe equals Hurns right now...take/keep the sure thing.

10 team 2QB 3WR 2RB 2TE 2Flex .5ppr - Not involved

Standard League...10 team

Well done

Well played.

 
12 team ppr start 2 RB 3 WR

Blount for Diggs+4th

He was desperate for a RB and offered it. Means Lacy is my only backup RB, but hopefully I can add a handcuff cheap to lock up my depth.

 
Not involved.

1-9 team trades his only piece albeit old.

Fitzgerald

To. 6-4 team fighting for division and will make playoffs.

Harvin

D-Jax

2016 3rd

2017 2nd
