**Official 2015 Off-Season Dynasty Completed Trades Thread** (2 Viewers)

Wow. I like Watkins, probably more than most, but I think that's an overpay to land him (unless he gets a QB or out of Buffalo)
I think you are overrating Spiller.
Watkins for 1.1 is pretty even. I'd probably rather have 1.1 and landing Gurley or a receiver somewhere better than buffalo. It doesn't matter how you value spiller, he's on the wrong side of the deal.
I don't have any of these receivers rated as highly as Watkins and prefer the positional longevity at WR over RB (even one as talented as Gurley). Watkins had an excellent rookie year and I saw nothing that would lead me to believe he's not the real deal. His situation is no worse than last year.
I guess the bar for "excellent" depends on the eye of the beholder. 9 games with single digit fantasy points in ppr. 11 games with three or fewer catches. this is the inconsistency people were worried about in Buffalo. And his situation may actually be worse. Orton had 3000 yards in 12 games. Ej Manuel doesn't have 3000 yards yet in his career. With Rex Ryan building the team around LeSean mccoy and the defense, and competition for targets from Percy and woods and mccoy, they're not going to force feed him targets.

I think he is an elite talent and a good ff option but I think his chance to emerge is no better than the stud wrs from this year's class, and I'd prefer the guy who might up in a stable situation. you might disagree but that's the sign of a fair trade - reasonable people would take either side of it.

And that's really the point. if they're trading two equal commodities, then the guy getting the extra stuff wins the trade. any time you can add talent to your team without sacrificing anything, you should do it.
Good analysis. Few things though. I never said it wasn't a fair trade. I said that I thought the guy was overrating spiller in the context of it being an overpay for Watkins. I think it's pretty a close trade but I just happen to prefer the Watkins side. Watkins was banged up the entire year. He toughed through broken ribs, a groin and a hip injury that eventually led to surgery. I don't think it's unreasonable to think that these injuries limited him and he just missed 70/1000. His stats were very much comparable to Evans (outside of the TDs). He goes from being the only threat to one of several which should open things up for him. You see McCoy and Harvin as a negative but I see them as a positive. Woods is a non-factor IMO. The QB situation is unsettling but he should see increased targets (if healthy) and catch rate. The thing most concerning to me above all was his consistency on the injury report.

 
12 team .5 PPR

Gave:

1.11

2.08

Got:

Brandin Cooks
So someone drafted Cooks somewhere between 1.04 and 1.08 last season, watched him lead all rookies in receptions before he got hurt, saw NO trade away their top target and talk up Cooks, and then they sell him for a loss? Strange.

I thought so too, but I will happily take him at that price haha
Nothing beats this though. Back in january team A traded his 2016 1st for Justin Blackmon.

A few days ago team A traded Blackmon for a 6th rounder.

At least the guy who traded Cooks away allowed something to actually happen before doing something silly, but this one takes the cake.

16 team 1qb/1wr/1rb/1te/4flex .5ppr.

Gave 1.11, 1.12, Ingram.

Got 1.1

I'm trying to make a push this year, he's in rebuild mode. Not sure who I'll take though

 
Couple small ones that will gain absolutely 0 interest in this thread ha.

10 team .5ppr 2QB 3WR 3RB 2TE 1Flex

Team A traded: Jason Witten, 2016 4th

Team B traded: 2.10

Team C traded: Cecil Shorts

Team D traded: 4.04

 
Mike Evans for the 1.01 which will be Gurley. Non ppr league.
woof

evans is nearly untouchable to me. would take the farm for me to even think about it.
Non PPR league changes the dynamics of this one though. It makes the RBs more valuable, however this also might increase Evans in the WR ranking just a tad because he is a better bet for yards and TDs than high volume catches.

That said, still Evans

 
Generic question, but is it crazy to rank Gurley as a top 5 dynasty back as soon as Friday? I feel like with a lot of the top guys aging or having a lot of work, if Gurley is the real deal he's gonna be the next big thing for fantasy.

Top 5 not crazy at all because once you get past the first couple there is a lot of question marks and age.

#1 like some are discussing? That's crazy.

Think he's right there for #2 already but I'm not a huge Lacy fan. If you're looking out past this year, some combo of Bell, Lacy, Hill, Gurley and Gordon are the top 5 imo.

 
Latavius MurrayCharles JohnsonforAllen Robinson
ARob for me. I don't really get the Murray love to be honest.
Dates: 03/20/13

Height: 6025

Weight: 223

40 Yrd Dash: 4.38

20 Yrd Dash: 2.56

10 Yrd Dash: 1.48

225 Lb. Bench Reps: 22

Vertical Jump: 36

Broad Jump: 10'04"

20 Yrd Shuttle: 4.36

3-Cone Drill: 6.81
And averaged 5.2 YPC last year.
People fixated on LMurray must keep this on speed dial.
I think the flash of potential last year, combined with the potential to be a bellcow is enticing to fantasy owners. Helu shouldnt eat into his carries really.

But the constant 'interest' in big time FA backs is worrisome to me as a murray owner.

I feel if he wins the opportunity to be the guy in camp, he will prove his worth.

Anderson should maybe be in there as well.

I share his opinion...no way CJA is a top 5 dynasty RB in my list. He may be a top 5 RB this year

I would imagine that the vast majority of experienced dynasty owners would agree as well. Anderson as a top-5 dynasty RB is a pretty thin limb to go out on.

Thats fine. But wouldnt you think that giving two rookies, who at this point arent on a team and have relatively unknown situations, the title of top 5 dyno back is a little negligent?Or is that some sort of second level strategy that us unexperienced guys dont understand?

Pedigree for me. Can't take an undrafted free agent that high after one season.

I see the argument for Gurley, and yes, I agree that Gordon as a top-5 dynasty RB is a stretch. My personal top-5 would be Bell, Lacy, McCoy, Charles, and Murray in some order.

Re: Anderson, his value is purely situational. Putting him in the top-5 is really, really bad. As you said, though, that's just an opinion. Maybe Anderson is the next great RB talent and Denver coaches are the real idiots for not playing him until everyone else was hurt.

I guess if Gurley is just a random RB prospect in a relatively unknown situation that is accurate. If that is the conclusion you have come to watching him I wouldn't argue with you about it. Definitely a legit stance in today's NFL/fantasy considering the overall devaluation of the position and difficulty finding reliable 3 down RB's

 
Some trades I did over the weekend in one league.

Watkins, 2.05 for Evans, 3.10

LMurray for Sankey, 2.10

Kelvin, RG3 for Moncrief, Tannehill

AKA

Watkins, KB, LMurray, RG3, 2.05 for Evans, Moncrief, Sankey, Tannehill, 2.10, 3.10

Well, its possible theyre idiots. Or its possible something just clicked with him as he got reps and started to 'get it'. Its also possible he was a product of a very scary offensive unit. At any rate, what he accomplished in the timeframe he accomplished it in is pretty solid.

He is 24, has 186 career carries and will likely be given every opportunity to win the lions share of the touches in camp/pre season.

The way i am looking at it is this, low miles, top end offense around him. If peytons decline is as severe as people think, it may get tougher, but he will likely get more reps out of the deal, so either way i like his situation and i think he couldve been added to the discussion is all.
