****OFFICIAL DYNASTY TRADES**** (17 Viewers)

No is excited to trade for any of those guys right now.
It’s weird because AJB is in his prime. He had a little bit of a down year but IMO that was an anomaly.

I get not wanting to buy on Andrews, but Jeudy isn’t that old, and Cook seems like a dude a lot of owners are high on.



In my high-ish stakes league where I have AJB and badly need a RB, I offered AJB+1.11 for any top 4 pick this year and was rejected by all of them without counter. He's a hard guy to move right now at fair value, as is Cook.

If I'm sitting at 3 or 4 and staring at Tet or Hunter as my pick, I would take your offer in a heartbeat.
Same. AJB > anyone in this draft other than Jeanty, IMO.

And you get a free 1.11?
:excited:

Your league-mates have a fever. And the only cure for it is more rookies.
 
Still got to get more back. A 2026 second or something like that at least.
Agree. It feels a little light. But hey, good for team 1.04 to only have to give that up. Solid move, especially if SF, TEP or both. If it’s IDP, even better.
And the guy who traded away the 1.04 wins a lot of these leagues. Not a dummy. Usually he is the one who rips off people in trades.
 
Super ultra mega blockbuster here

12 Team SF, non-TEP (QB,RB,RB,WR,WR,WR,TE,FLEX,FLEX,SF)

Gave 3.03, 4.03, 2026 3rd
Got David Montgomery, 4.07

Needed a RB4 with a fairly high floor. That's Monty.
Monty for basically nothing. Great job!
I wouldn’t call it basically nothing. Looking at 3 of my leagues at 3.03, Fannin, Sampson, and Royals were selected. At 4.03 Jalen Milroe, and Trevor Etienne twice. Throwing in a 2026 3rd just reinforces “not nothing “. I think in the trading thread we throw the phrase “basically nothing “ around too loosely. It’s not as if Montgomery is this must have dynasty asset.

I stand by my assessment. Monty is signed on a high power, run first team through 2027. When both healthy, Gibbs and Monty both produce. Monty was RB16 PPG last season. You say he's not must have, but he's a weekly starter even if Gibbs starts to take more work. Should Gibbs be out, Monty is a must start RB1. Betting on that upside from Fannin, Sampson, and Royal is a losing proposition in my mind.

I read a statistic that round 3+ draft picks have a hit rate of around 9%. While I think that has value, it is definitely neighboring 'dart throw' territory. Obviously I like my side, but I can see where Monty could be something of a roster clogger on a team with a lot of RB help. This was also in-draft and the other team took Milroe with the 3.03. Seems like pretty good value on both ends, IMO.

Superflex, TE Prem (1.75) - not involved

Team A: JJ McCarthy, Josh Downs
Team B: Ricky Pearsall, 2026 1st (early-mid)

Still trying to wrap my head around this as it feels like a light return for JJ McCarthy (and I'm not even a huge believer).

Team A has swung two big deals to acquire Burrow and McCarthy this offseason, completely revamping his QB situation to go with Ja'Marr Chase and CeeDee Lamb (and James Cook, Mark Andrews, Josh Downs, and some other solid depth pieces). Not enough to contend, but a very sturdy foundation.

Team B had 6 first round rookie picks this year (1.01, 1.02, 1.04, 1.08, 1.09, 1.12) and is loaded with young talent - Jeanty, Hampton, Henderson at RB, and London, McConkey, Garrett Wilson, Emeka Egbuka, Rashee Rice at WR. He seems like he may be addicted to future draft picks, because he recently traded Jameson Williams for a likely late 2027 1st (to me) and then moments later shipped off Mccarthy for a 2026 1st (more or less, if Pearsall and Downs roughly cancel out). He now has three 2026 1sts, two 2026 2nds, and two 2027 1sts. But at what point does he consolidate pieces into studs? He's rolling with Nix and Cam Ward at QB with Geno as his QB3. He also has Njoku and Jonnu Smith at TE - serviceable but not long-term solutions or elite options moving forward IMO.

Curious what others think.

I did say basically. Based on Dynasty Nerds analysis of hit rates based on draft selection, the chances of a 3rd round or later draft pick to have 2+ starter level seasons (top-24 RB / top 30 WR / top 12 QB /TE) is 4.2%. So you have a 8.4% chance of drafting someone that will perform the same as, or better than, Monty with those picks as I see no reason Monty shouldn't live in the RB2 space.

KTC loves quantity over quality and overvalues draft picks. It tries to adjust, but does it poorly. People should only use them for amusement,

Without even glancing at KTC I’d say it’s probably because Metcalf and Rice are pretty close in value, although likely heading in different directions.

Might be a slight overpay in terms of pure value but if you didn’t need Darnold (I know it’s 1 Qb but I’m still assuming you have a QB2 after this deal…) and you’re confident the 2nd will be late then this is a “get your guy” type of deal and I’m personally high on Rice so I like it.

Bargain. Monty has a crazy high floor and continues to garner zero respect.

Except of of course in my leagues where I’ve tried to buy for more than that & been rejected harshly.

KTC is my least favorite calc. And it doesn’t account for league size.

On dynasty dominator, set to 16 teams it comes out:
231 - 180

A theoretical overpay by about that late 2026 2nd.

When I chart it at draft sharks using their value charts I get:
Package: 13+14+29‎ = 56
vs
Rice: 40

So yeah, again it’s roughly that 2nd round pick as an overpay (or Darnold).

That all said, I would make the same trade if that’s what it took to get it done. Rice’s trajectory is significantly better than DKM, and in 1 QB leagues you could easily justify the overpay as “I tossed in Darnold to get it done” & be spot on at 42-40

In the same format I bought Geno Smith for a future pick, then flipped Geno + Pittman + a low end safety for Rice, which I had as an overpay by the safety. Very similar deal. I have zero regrets, and that was a SF league.

I don’t mind this deal for you at all. Rice has to hit, but value-wise it’s not an egregious overpay.
 
12 team Superflex and TE Prem (2.0)

Gave: Tyler Warren, Kyle Williams
Got: DeVonta Smith, Jaxson Dart

Hate to give up a promising young TE like Warren but I have been trying to keep the contending window open around my core of Burrow, Ja’Marr, and Bowers.

I think DeVonta is a bankable WR2 and maybe even a bit underrated. My QB2 behind burrow has been Tua which has held me back. I added Milroe in the rookie draft this year and now have another dart in Dart.

Fair enough trade. I think Downs is a better player than Pearsall but Pearsall has a better situation. I expect Indianapolis will do something at QB next year and improve the situation. McCarthy for an early 1st is good if you believe McCarthy is a JAG. The 2026 QB class seems really good whether Arch Manning declares or not. If Cam Ward is good, his team is way better than you make it out to be when this years rookie class develops. I would love to have that roster with multiple future firsts.

I think he has one of the top 3 teams in the league right now and for that reason I would be packaging McCarthy and one of my exciting young W/R and/or future draft capital for a TOP END guy to consolidate points into my lineup a bit. As it is he can’t play all his guys and he will have a bunch more highly touted rookies next year and the year after who he also won’t have room to start. He’s going to have tons of surplus value to work with, and it’s fun to be in that perpetually contending window, I’ve just seen it happen far too many times that teams of all rookies and 2nd year guys are the envy of the league but they don’t actually win the championship.

Give me the picks...Rice can play but he's also knucklehead coming off an ACL...this is a fantastic cash-out.
Easily the picks imo. Worthy may be the better option and Royals is an underrated clone of Rice who at least as of now lacks the moron factor and injury.

Tough deal to evaluate until I see something out of Dart & Warren, but Smith is a very good WR. If Dart hits this is a great trade.

It wasn't but it was still a big time knee injury...it was an LCL and PCL... funny because I googled it before I posted and saw this on NFL.com...

INJURIES

  • WR Rashee Rice (knee) has "been able to do everything" in offseason work, quarterback Patrick Mahomes told reporters. The QB said he's unsure if Rice will be full-go during organized team activities in May, but the wideout has been running routes and catching footballs while working out with Mahomes in Texas. Rice suffered a torn ACL on Sept. 29, finishing his second season in the NFL with just 24 catches, 288 yards and two TDs in four games played.

Was not an ACL

Rashee Rice's knee injury was not an ACL tear. He had surgery on his posterolateral corner (PLC) in his right knee, not the ACL. While the initial fear was that he might have torn his ACL, the surgery revealed that the PLC was the damaged area.

Interesting discussion here verse rice thread. It’s actually what made me throw my offer out. Who do I prefer 1.03 (best WR in this draft) or Rice. I said Rice all day
 
KTC is awful.
Was talking with someone who said I offered a horrible deal based on the calc.
Well, I offered Loveland and Brian Robinson for Achane. Apparently on KTC the Loveland side is way more valuable, especially in TE premium.
But of course he said it was terrible, lol.

Always funny when someone references a calc and then I just offer them something wayyyy in their favor on the calc, but I know they'd never accept.

I absolutely love when someone references a trade calculator in the comments of an offer. I'm pretty sure I've crafted offers based on that team's preferred trade calculator and have had them accepted. It's worth subscribing to the calculators just for this sole purpose.

Received: R. Rice

I wouldn't sell Rice for that unless rebuilding and didn't have much else on my squad. Even then I'd shop for better picks/pieces. Next year's class consensus is weak and looks like your getting picks from the reigning champ. Big tier break a few spots before the 12 in 1QB no-TEP IMO.

Classic trade that looks like a lot but really you're getting two late 1'sts and a few dart throws for a high potential top 10 WR. If you're a person who is out on Rice then I get moving him for this (as it is a lot of pieces to work with if a you're a big trader) but looking at his back half rookie year and first few games before the fluke injury he was well on his way to a studly year and the suspension risk is rapidly diminishing.
 
Moved up to 1.03 from 1.05 giving up the 2.05 to snag Henderson to pair with Jeanty.

Now have a formidable 1/2 punch at RB for foreseeable cutie to pair with JSN, Rice, MHJ and Odunze. Bowers at TE and Burrow at QB. The future is bright
 
This trade negotiation / discussion went off/on for 5 weeks ... today we reached a mutual deal.

12 Team currently 1 QB but going SF 2026 (all owners fully aware) 0.5 PPR with TE 1.0 ppr
1-3 RB / 2-5 WR / 1-3 TE

I gave up: Brock Bowers + 2026 2nd (I made playoffs in 2024 so project 8-10 range)
I get back: Rome Odunze, David Njuko, Terrance Ferguson and his 2026 1st (he has had 1.01 last 2 years, project Top 4)

He drafted MHJr 1.01 and Rome 1.03 in 2024 and Jeanty 1.01 + Ferguson 2.08 last week.
I had traded 3x 2nd last year (technically 1.11, 2.01 and 2.06) to get Bowers at 1.04

I was trying to get Pitts cheap from different owner, but they need QB and I don't want to any of my 3 starters (JLove, TLaw, DMaye)
I still have Otton, MMayer and Noah Gray at TE.

THOUGHTS?

I just bought Rice for Geno (who I paid a 2027 1st + 2027 4th for Geno+Denille Hunter) + Pittman + a S, and I would probably sell Rice for 2x 1sts, 2x 2nds, and a 3rd.

That's so much more than I paid for him, and I could immediately flip the a couple of those picks for another receiver and profit by a 1st (at least).

It's an offer you can't refuse.

Even if you don't think there will be any drop-off for Bowers, that's Rome (1st), Fergusen (1st), a 1st, and Njoku (easily worth a 2nd in TEP) to get you through while Fergusen gets up to speed.

3x 1sts + a 2nd in value. Massive profit. I know the goal is to have elite players at every position, but the drop-off from Bowers to Njoku (or Fergusen) is nowhere near 2x 1sts & a 2nd.

This is a total win for you IMO.

I should have probably led with DK and Darnold without the pick but when someone posts that a player is on the block to entire league you just have no idea what offers are being made and some people will just take the best one and not counter at all. Had that happen plenty.

I am that guy. I'm the commissioner of our league, and I would say 90% of my FF time is spent being commish, and 10% as owner. I really do not want to put in the time to haggle at fantasy football.

If it’s 90/10 in favor of doing commissioner stuff you’re doing it all wrong. It should be the other way around. I commish several leagues and I’ve got it down where the commissioner duties don’t take up that much time.

I’ve said it 1000x on this very forum: I’d rather risk overpaying to get a deal done than come in low and get beat to the punch by another owner or spend enough time haggling that they change their mind.

I like the deal for you a lot, calcs be damned. Trades aren’t made on paper, they’re made between owners. Occasional after seeing one of my offers snapped up I’ll have regret knowing I coulda offered less or asked for more in return. But if I offered it, it means that’s where I thought the value was, and it got it done. So there ya go.
