****OFFICIAL DYNASTY TRADES**** (9 Viewers)

[Dez]

12 team SF PPR, start 10, no K, no D/ST

Team announced a rebuild.
I gave: 2026 1st
I Rec’d: Joe Mixon

Needed 1 more offensive piece. Hoping for good things in HOU

Now I can roll out Bijan, ETN, Mixon, and Monty is my BYE guy or trade bait.

My first Mixon dynasty share.

Sorry bro but I don’t like the move. It’s fine on value, but you have enough RBs to survive, it’s May, and that 1st could be used near the trade deadline for a RB (or anything) that is healthy and producing.

If Mixon is having a good season and it’s week 11 or whatever, then I like it. Just don’t like making any type of bet on any specific running back at this stage of the calendar. Too many things can go wrong at a high probability.

I thought I got a good price on Mixon at my leagues trading deadline last year I gave up Mixon and my 2024 2nd (2.12) for a 2024 1st (1.08) Then this year that same guy traded Mixon for a 2025 1st and 3rd.........my thought was to trade Mixon last year before Cincy cut him.......well I was half right I just didn't know Houston would get him and sign him to an extension. I was worried about another Dalvin Cook situation playing out for Mixon and him turning to worthless. I was right and I was wrong. If I held on to him I could have got more but thought the deal I made at the time was as good as I thought I could ever get.

Monty is likely going to lose some value, and my BYE week situation is ugly. I lose both Bijan + ETN the same week.

Context matters. There was an opportunity with the rebuild announced - if I didn’t jump on Mixon, someone else would have. And no one else in this league wants a 2026 1st (I’ve tried).

I have a win-now roster

So there actually was a very good reason to do this now in context. I see very little chance Mixon is a bad fit in HOU. I doubt he gets much preseason action, as well. And he’s a perfect fit for their running scheme, while Pierce is not. So all the talk of Pierce having a big role comes off to me as coachspeak.

And I felt like taking a chance, and wanted another piece of the HOU offense.

We just disagree and that’s fine. It’s good value, no issue there. I just don’t think it’s good business to trade picks for RBs this time of year. It could certainly work out for you though and hope it does.

That’s fair - like I said, the timing forced a decision. I went for it. I think it helps me.

 

[joey]

just went down in our SharkPool FFPC 12 team 1QB TE-P league...

I gave: Rashee Rice + 2025 3rd
I got: Jayden Reed + 2025 5th

I have (had) Rice shares in 2 leagues, and I'm happy to be rid of 1 of those shares. I'm also high on Reed otherwise I would've just held Rice.

Received: 1.11, 2025 1st


Gave: Meyers, Fields

The first one is one of those fun gambles that you could be kicking yourself, or hit the jackpot, based on how that other team fares this year.

I like your return in the second trade.

 

[bonjock]

I am just looking for some pre-draft trade help. Trading in this league has been historically difficult and just want to see what everyone thinks of this trade before it goes down.

10 Team, PPR, 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 4 RB/WR/TE Flex

Team A gets:

Tua Tagovailoa
Diontae Johnson
Michael Pittman

Team B gets:

Kendre Miller
Jayden Reed
1.08

I am Team B - I am loaded at WR and pretty thin at RB.

AJ Brown
Jamar Chase
Jaylen Waddle
Zay Flowers
Tank Dell
Jerry Jeudy
Jaxon Smith-Njigba
Marvin Mims
Jailin Hyatt
AT Perry

I'd probably go with Jonathon Brooks, Brian Thomas Jr or Ladd McConkey with 1.08 and also own the 1.10.

You have gotten a great team is the team formation plays a crucial role in soccer and football game. it drives your game plane and strategy.

yep first one is a little easier to stomach since it is short bench league. So consolidating assets is a big need there. I have too many draft picks next year again so happy to do those kinds of trades where I may have given up an extra 2nd or 3rd to get the hopefully best piece in the deal of a future first.

Must be really short bench imo. I think Chig is a decent TE2. Probably equal to Sinnott, who will probably go mid 3rd.

21 total roster spots with Pitts, Schults, Likely as other TEs. I also have a plethora of draft picks so he looks like one of the cuts.

I'm not sure Mixon is worth a 1st at this point but he did sign the extension after the trade, the pick is 2 years down the road, and if it gets you a chip then it is well worth it.

If I held on to him I could have got more but thought the deal I made at the time was as good as I thought I could ever get.

I made a similar trade. At last year's trade deadline, I traded Mixon, 24 2nd (ended up being 2.12), my 24 3rd (ended up at 3.07, and my 25 2nd to a team for his 1st (1.06), a 24 3rd (ended up at 3.06), and his 25 2nd. He has a way worse team than mine but ended up only getting me the 1.06/3.06 this year but liked moving in to the 1st. Mixon's value went up but I'm not sold he will bein Houston long term with no other RBs added after this year.

I only got 1 reply so I'm reposting this to get more thoughts....Lol.

12 team, .5 PPR, start 1QB/1RB/2WR/2Flex/1TE and we just had our rookie draft. At the draft I made this trade:

1.06 (Jonathan Brooks to a very RB needy team) and a 2025 1st (finished top 4 the last 4 years with 2 chips so will be late)
for
1.07 (Brian Thomas) and 1.08 (Ladd McConkey)

Thoughts on the trade and Did I make a mistake taking Ladd over Trey Benson in a .5 PPR league? I already got Thomas and ended up getting Pearsall at 2.05.

Seems fair. I like Thomas and McConkey better than Brooks, Benson in a full ppr. Half ppr that only requires you to start 1 RB? Think I still prefer the receivers.

Personally I wouldn't have been so quick to give up a future 1st in this scenario, however, as it's value will only grow while the rookies might take time. I would have tried 1.06 for 1.07 + a little something.

That’s the thing - it’s a 2026 1st

I would not have paid a 2024 1st for Mixon.

There’s also a world in which I don’t win a chip, but Mixon has a great year in HOU, and I sell him before the 2025 draft.

Exactly. That can mitigate the price as well. I think Mixon will have a good year this year for sure. Starting RBs are hard to come by so I have no problem buying one. Especially with an asset you can recoup.

This is only .5 PPR so makes RBs a little more valuable and the league hordes them so they are harder to come by. I just really believe in the WRs in this class, much more than next year so wanted an extra pick. That is why I gave up my 25 1st. Plus, I have finished in the top 4 the last 4 years with 2 chips so I can all but for sure say that pick will be late.

I'm a true believer in Brian Thomas (although I don't love the landing spot) and I think Ladd could be in for some huge years in LA but don't believe in his talent as much as BT Jr.

I think this is really even and just comes down to team needs and roster construction. I have a tier of three that I sorted as Worthy-BTJ-Ladd but totally understandable to rank them differently. Think they are all close and just depends if you want to shoot the moon (BTJ), get immediate sexy production for trade value (Worthy) or go steady and safe (Ladd). I drafted Benson once but already traded him, so I like that you didn’t take him. Something about the way he runs just seems a little funky to me. He’s probably gonna stick in the league and be decent but I don’t see big upside. I do think Brooks is a really good prospect and easily the best runner in this class.

I’d take your side.

I am very good with moving him…in the scenario you layed out I would rather have the 3.7 as an asset…whether using it or flipping it I feel like I could do more with it then keeping him on that roster.

I might have considered Worthy (even though I'm not high on him just due to size mostly and wasn't a fan of him in TX) but he went at 1.05 anyways so didn't have that option. I like Brooks a lot but my skill players are below:

RB - CMC, Barkley, King Henry, Breece Hall, and Kendre Miller (other just dart throws)
WR - Justin Jefferson, Waddle, Mike Evans, Ridley, Michael Wilson, and now BTJ/Ladd
TE - Kelce and Pitts.

Thoughts on the trade and Did I make a mistake taking Ladd over Trey Benson in a .5 PPR league? I already got Thomas and ended up getting Pearsall at 2.05.

I was going to respond to this earlier but a few things threw me off from what I normally play, mainly just half PPR and need for only one starting RB.

On the whole the trade seems equitable. Brooks and Thomas ended up in a tier by themselves for me as players 5 and 5 in 2 RB start full PPR leagues. If I only had to start one RB I'd go Thomas.

McConkey loses more value then anyone here in half PPR and I had him as later half of round one guy anyway, a little lower then consensus.

Just seems really fair to me and I'd rate the assets as Thomas, Brooks, 2025#1 and McConkey.

 

[menobrown]

Sorry bro but I don’t like the move. It’s fine on value, but you have enough RBs to survive, it’s May, and that 1st could be used near the trade deadline for a RB (or anything) that is healthy and producing.

If Mixon is having a good season and it’s week 11 or whatever, then I like it. Just don’t like making any type of bet on any specific running back at this stage of the calendar. Too many things can go wrong at a high probability.

Monty is likely going to lose some value, and my BYE week situation is ugly. I lose both Bijan + ETN the same week.

Context matters. There was an opportunity with the rebuild announced - if I didn’t jump on Mixon, someone else would have. And no one else in this league wants a 2026 1st (I’ve tried).

So there actually was a very good reason to do this now in context. I see very little chance Mixon is a bad fit in HOU. I doubt he gets much preseason action, as well. And he’s a perfect fit for their running scheme, while Pierce is not. So all the talk of Pierce having a big role comes off to me as coachspeak.

And I felt like taking a chance, and wanted another piece of the HOU offense.

We just disagree and that’s fine. It’s good value, no issue there. I just don’t think it’s good business to trade picks for RBs this time of year. It could certainly work out for you though and hope it does.

I agree with all the thoughts you gave on this trade and would just add I'm not really into trading for any win now player at any position this time of year, RB or otherwise. Not keen on paying firsts for any player I think is legit year to year, which is how I view Mixon despite the two year commitment.

The fact that first is two year's out does help a lot, makes it more palatable, but I'm not that into Mixon specifically or as you are saying trading future firsts for year to year players this early in the process.

16 team SF PPR TEP IDP 11/11

I gave: Kaden Ellis

Never have I ever
• bought a 31 y/o
• had a share of Lockett

For my 7th LB, it seemed fair, and I could use the WR depth.

Ordinarily I’m not either.

But I’m also not into missing an opportunity with a time constraint. This team has now made 3 other deals.

Had I not swooped now, I wouldn’t have acquired Mixon. And since I don’t have much besides 2026 picks to deal on that team, had I not made this move now, chances are I would not be able to make something like it later.

I get that it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but there’s also a context here that’s at odds with your generalization.

In general, I agree. In context, it was a deal I felt needed to get done. I could see several outcomes - the one I’m hoping for is that Mixon is a great fit in that scheme & delivers solid RB2 floor with some boom games.

My assumption, without basis, would be that old WRs hold up better than old LBs. Lockett should still be a decent spot/injury play this season, even with JSN taking more target share.

Monty is likely going to lose some value, and my BYE week situation is ugly. I lose both Bijan + ETN the same week.

Context matters. There was an opportunity with the rebuild announced - if I didn’t jump on Mixon, someone else would have. And no one else in this league wants a 2026 1st (I’ve tried).

I have a win-now roster

So there actually was a very good reason to do this now in context. I see very little chance Mixon is a bad fit in HOU. I doubt he gets much preseason action, as well. And he’s a perfect fit for their running scheme, while Pierce is not. So all the talk of Pierce having a big role comes off to me as coachspeak.

And I felt like taking a chance, and wanted another piece of the HOU offense.

We just disagree and that’s fine. It’s good value, no issue there. I just don’t think it’s good business to trade picks for RBs this time of year. It could certainly work out for you though and hope it does.

I agree with all the thoughts you gave on this trade and would just add I'm not really into trading for any win now player at any position this time of year, RB or otherwise. Not keen on paying firsts for any player I think is legit year to year, which is how I view Mixon despite the two year commitment.

The fact that first is two year's out does help a lot, makes it more palatable, but I'm not that into Mixon specifically or as you are saying trading future firsts for year to year players this early in the process.

I mostly agree and if we’re specifically talking about year to year players, I’d have a hard time parting with a 1st right now for any position. If someone wants to give me Adams or something, ok, I’d have to consider it. Generally though I want that ammo in my pocket midseason so I can make a better informed decision on if I should be buying and who to target.

I’m not opposed to win now player for player moves this time of year (just did a deal with Achane/BTJ for Barkley/Hockenson) because we know players values are going to change so it’s already baked in risk on both sides. The value of draft picks though is only going up so there’s an added layer of risk being brought into the equation by spending it on any specific player.

I guess it boils down to the confidence in the player. There just aren’t many players available for a future 1st that inspire that level of confidence in me in the summertime.

I was going to say you won this deal bigtime but then noticed Chase - I still thinking won. Chandler isn’t worth much (I say this as a Chandler shareholder) and I’m more optimistic about Herbert than most. I also think Tua may not have the longest career while I have total confidence in Herbert’s long term value.

Hard to move off of Chase, but Pickens + AJB is nothing to sneeze at.

Yeah, gimme your side.

Pretty much sums it up. Was obviously not looking to move Chase. Started as an offer of just Herbert/AJB for Tua/Chase, but when he agreed to this I felt like it was the rare deal that is enough to move off him. Downgrading to AJB isn't too bad considering all the other upgrades I got.

Big boy trade here.

I will start my saying my player take on Pickens is not favorable, but I’ll just asses the deal assuming full market value for him. And I’m way above market on Fant so that probably balances out. I won’t die on those ancillary hills.

The real crux of it is Herbert vs Tua. In a vacuum, certainly think Herbert is the better QB. We don’t live in vacuums though and the teams and circumstances matter. I haven’t done rankings lately but sitting here thinking I’m not so sure I wouldn’t rather have Tua. It’s a minimum very, very close for me and they might be side by side if I were to sit and do ranks. Really don’t like the environment Herbert finds himself in for fantasy and think he’s getting way too much credit for his actual ability versus his situation. All that said, he’s really good at playing QB so it’s totally possible he can overcome it. I’m just not betting on it. And Tua is probably getting paid soon which will solidify his job status on an offense I consider to be extremely high powered for at least two seasons. Yeah, push comes to shove I don’t think I could trade Tua for Herbert.

So with all that said, I’m not willing to tier down from Chase to AJB for the upgrade of Aaron Jones to Pickens and Fant.

Value wise it’s all good, no worries and can totally work out. If I apply my specific player takes though I would not have made the deal.

I’m also super high on Fant now that he’s the TE1 in SEA.

Just acquired a share in TE-P and I think he might be one of the better values.

Snagging him everywhere I can. Talent is not an issue. New staff, new offense, less competition at the position…he’s undervalued.

I’d buy Puka for that 1000 times out of 1000 in any format.

12 team SF. Net result of 2 trades:

• Gave Zay Flowers, Kendre Miller
• Got Jahan Dotson, Jaylen Warren, 2025 early 2nd (should be very early)

Obviously hinges on Dotson looking more like 2022 than 2023, and Warren becoming the lead back in PIT. I drafted Daniels in this league.

 

[Wigglytuff's Gruff]

I vastly prefer what you gave up.

Seems fair. I’m a big Warren guy, so I prefer your side, but Flowers has impressed me at times.

My only concern with Dotson is the QB situation, where I’ve read rookies tend to pepper WR1 & TE. And he’s a running QB as well, so 3rd reads may not be as frequent - but that generalization may not hold true for Daniels, so very much TBD.

FFPC Triflex

Gave: DeVonta Smith, Zay Flowers, 2025 1st (should be late)

Got: CeeDee Lamb

In this same league a few weeks ago I gave Achane, Brian Thomas Jr, and Chase Brown for Barkley, Hockenson, and Javon Baker.

I have a good, deep squad and am trying to hit the gas peddle a bit with these deals after gathering assets last year. Should now be squarely in the mix as one of the top teams.

Also feel like I could always trade Lamb down the road and recoup similar value.

It wasn’t cheap but you got a legit WR1. I’d pay that for lamb. I wouldn’t sell my share of lamb for that. So good deal.
