I have Luck w/ DT/T.Y./Alshon/Cooks/Martavis/Dorsett so was totally content with a 1st from a bad team + Moncrief to go with rest of my Colts stash.

I have a good young team, still have pick 2 this year, and now have four 2016 1sts with a few 2nds, and a couple 2017 1sts.I don't love it. 2017 is too far away for me to count on a pick being very high.It isn't terrible but I think there is a better deal to be had even if you have to make a pick and trade the player later12 team PPR dynasty with large rosters and large taxi squads

haha yeah? I am very convinced Montgomery has Diggs covered by a bunch.

I was aiming for Blount cause it made no sense for the other team but said i'm shopping Ty unless around unless I get Diggs too. He musta really wanted him.

Last year, definitely - with his 30th bday approaching, probably not - fair or not, his value is trending down. My trade partner recently paid 3 seconds for Charles Johnson, and took DGB at 1.08. So putting those numbers to it, Calvin/Stew for 2 1's, and 3 2's. I can live w/ that.

Team B basically only has Packers players and was likely making this move cause he lost Nelson. Now that he's given up Ertz, he probably starts R. Rodgers at TE, which digs him an equal hole at TE.Ertz12 Team PPR

30 is old in terms of value. The production will still be there, but the value will never go higher than what it is now. Next year, at 31, it only gets worse. Plus, if he suffers an injury, then his value could go down significantly. Watch and see what happens to Jordy's value after this injury. K. Benjamin got hurt but people will still buy. Nelson, not so much as he's already 30.Yeah I know confused two thoughts ("he's only 29" and "hasn't turned 30 yet) in my head.

30 y/o matters even for WR's. Maybe not on the field in their early 30's, and maybe not in your starting lineup, but in dynasty trade value, it absolutely does.

Right or wrong, he's not anywhere near the "sell the farm to acquire him" guy he used to be. You're not getting a solid prospect and 3 1's for him anymore. Maybe in forum talk he commands that, but I'd be interested to see if someone did a ton better for Calvin in a competitive dynasty league. I really haven't seen it.
All time low doesn't mean low.Just to be clear, it's not that he's of no interest, it's that I seem to value him FAR higher than anyone else. And you have to admit that he is currently at an all-time low coming into this season.
Good Posting here. As a Calvin owner, also in a nice win now window, I will ride him into the ground if it lands me in the $$$ the next 3-4 years as opposed to selling low. That said, I do understand that the owner in this thread was not in a win now mode, so I completely understand getting what you can for him.I was in favor of selling high last year, and posted a bunch in the Calvin thread about that.
Yes, his value is the lowest it has ever been, but that doesnt mean it is low. 3-4 years of top level WRs play is rather valuable. People were paying through the nose for Jordy before his injury, but Calvin can't get a 2016 1st??
In a league I am in I can not get him for the #1 pick, and can't blame that owner one bit.
His days of bringing in some mega haul are over, and have been for a couple years, but if teams want to win they should be happier than a pig in spit to give up a 2016 1st, and then bring that trade to the completed trades forum to gloat about how they robbed someone blind.

Calvin owner here, seeing similar value. Couldn't get bids more than two 1sts, or chJohnson/1st for Calvin this offseason. Maybe the recency bias on his injuries last year is in play?Just to be clear, it's not that he's of no interest, it's that I seem to value him FAR higher than anyone else.
