**Official 2015 Off-Season Dynasty Completed Trades Thread** (3 Viewers)

Yeah, you do seem confused. I rank Cooper as a top 10 dynasty WR right now, which is not in the future. HTH.
That is an incredibly optimistic and aggressive ranking you have.
Inb4 passive aggressive response to your criticism of his homerism
The purpose of this thread is for posters to give their opinions on dynasty trades. I gave my opinion, stating my personal ranking of Cooper. You made a snarky response that made a reference to 'knowledge' and I responded to it and agreed with your own statement that you were confused.

I'm not a homer for Cooper, and have made zero passive aggressive posts in this thread, so it seems that you remain confused. So at least we agree on something.

It's optimistic, but definitely not incredibly so. DLF has him at WR14 currently. He'd probably fall just outside of my personal top-10 (and I'm generally risk-averse and lower on rookies than most), but he's in the mix in that area with the Cobb, Watkins, Cooks, Hilton types. Of those guys in the 2nd tier, IMO the only one that compares to Cooper in overall talent is Sammy Watkins -- the others, while obviously talented, are that high partially due to situation.
Top 15 is a bit different to me than top 10.

Anyway probably a discussion for another time but I am not sure who leaves this group to insert the "more talented" Cooper (Dez/Julio/AJG/Brown/Calvin/DT/Evans/OBJ/Watkins/Jeffery)
Calvin isn't in my top 10 as I don't trust him to stay healthy.

Since it was my comment that started this, I will say that I tier it like this (no particular order within tiers):

Beckham

Dez, Julio, Green, Brown

Demaryius, Evans, Calvin, Cobb, Cooper

That's 10. So, to answer your question, for me I bump Watkins and Jeffery out for Cooper and Cobb.

ETA: And very close to bumping Calvin down due to age and injury concern. Just can't pull that trigger yet.

If I offered Cooper, Watkins, or Jeffery for Calvin I would be surprised if I was turned down.

Depends on where the tier breaks are in everyone's individual rankings IMO. I personally think there is a bigger gap between WR8 (Evans) and WR9 (Jeffrey) than there is between Jeffrey and WR15 (Hilton).

Why the big gap between Evans and Jeffery - age? Jeffery is more proven than Evans and is only 3 years older.

I think Evans is more talented -- plus coaching change, Cutler, Marshall not absorbing double coverage, drafting White, team is a hot mess. Partially might be bias as I've never been a huge Jeffrey guy and have always loved Evans.

I own Calvin in a couple leagues, and already tried to get Cooper for him. No dice anywhere I own him. I'd also take Watkins and Alshon for him (although I think Calvin will outscore all of those guys a per game basis).

I don't see Cooper in the top 10 as any kind of reach. I'd take him over Calvin, and think he's right there with Watkins, Alshon, and DT.

I know you are but what am i
 
People keep putting watkins in an elite tier or top 10/12...

In what universe? Is he throwing himself the ball?

At least cooper sort of has a qb, but his situation will likely be similar in year 1 at least to sammys, middle to low wr2 status. Which is fine btw, but come on guys, can we quit with the watkins and cooper being ranked so high ? At least until they do anything? Or are in a situation that is conducive to success?

Give: Josh Gordon, 2016 2nd

Get: 2.02 (drafted Dorsett)
If history is any indicator, Gordon's value will be extremely high when he's reinstated. Bit of a risk but I take it.
Lot harder for people to keep burying their head in the sand now. Plus he wasn't close to as good last year when he did play. Plus, it's "if" he gets reinstated -- he pretty clearly gives zero ####s about playing football. In smaller / less deep leagues (FFPC or the like) he's probably not even worth a roster spot IMO.

This one didn't work out well for me with Devante Parker unexpectedly sliding to 1.08...

Gave: 1.04 (Melvin Gordon) and 1.08 (DeVante Parker)

for Teddy Bridgewater, 1.02 (Todd Gurley) and 2.02 (Phillip Dorsett)

Knowing how the draft played out, I wouldn't make the trade. But pre-draft I didn't want to get stuck with White at 1.04 (just not a believer) so I was willing to pay a bit to move into the top 3 for Cooper, Gurley or Gordon. And I wasn't expecting a guy like Parker to slide to 8 (Agholor, Yeldon and Coleman went 5 thru 7).

Still prefer your side.

When I saw the trade go down in this league I thought Bridgewater was basically free for you. Even though Parker fell still take your side by a hair.
