****OFFICIAL DYNASTY TRADES**** (15 Viewers)

16 team 1 QB PPR 1.5 TE

2026 late 2nd
for
Ken Walker

Yep terrible as always it is getting harder and harder to continue to play in dynasty leagues as the same owners get these kind of trades over and over
MAN, I got ridiculed in my league for turning that down for KWIII. (Projected 2.07-2.09 range pick)
Rebuilding, 12 Team 1 QB, 0.5PPR (TE+)

I said I needed a 1st and few owners said KW is not 1st value. So I held onto him ... see where he ends up next year... I have Charbs too so I can hold
 
Blockbuster. I definitely overpaid.

12 team SF PPR TEP, no K, no D/ST
Start-up this year, decent draft, in the mix, but the injury to Burrow was a set-back for sure.

I gave: Penix + BTJ + 2026 1st + 2026 3rd + 2027 1st + 2027 2nd + 2027 3rd

I rec’d: Ja’Chase + Goff

Decent chance I make a run this year, but next year starting out with Burrow+Goff at QB and having a true alpha WR feels like a very solid upgrade. But it wasn’t cheap.

F them picks!

I’ll take the 2 firsts. As much as I love Skattebo’s vibe, that’s a big overpay for a RB. Especially a guy who seeks contact as much as Skettebo - that doesn’t often lead to long careers. He’s fun to watch though.
Team A gets 2026 2nd, 2027 1st
Team D gets Darnold, 2026 4th, 2027 4th

Surprised there were picks coming back. I paid a 1st + Jeudy for Darnold in a SF, so yeah - Darnold side for me here. Fair deal.
Team E gets Jonathon Brooks, 2026 2nd, 2027 2nd
Team F gets Chase Brown
_____________________________________________________
Oof. Chase Brown side in a landslide. I wouldn’t sell him for that. Things can only get better next year. Brooks may be a non-factor.
Team A gets Jayden Higgins, RJ Harvey, 2026 1st
Team H gets Kupp, Pacheco, McConkey
_____________________________________________________
Ladd side. This is like a 1st for Ladd once you get rid of the flotsam. Short term Ladd side by even more since Pacheco & Kupp may be immediately useful where Harvey & Higgins are both meh for 2026.

Team B - high price to pay for Skattebo
Team D - if a contender, but like the return for A if they have enough QBs
Team F - got Brown for relatively cheap IMO
Team A - really only gave up McConkey and if rebuilding got some good young pieces
 
Trade Saquon for a top 6 pick in 2026? Team just has too much to overcome due to injuries this year. Had a nice 2-3 yr run, but maybe its time to pull the plug and regroup.

12 team SF PPR TEP, no K, no D/ST
Start-up this year, decent draft, in the mix, but the injury to Burrow was a set-back for sure.

I gave: Penix + BTJ + 2026 1st + 2026 3rd + 2027 1st + 2027 2nd

I rec’d: Ja’Chase + Goff

Decent chance I make a run this year, but next year starting out with Burrow+Goff at QB and having a true alpha WR feels like a very solid upgrade. But it wasn’t cheap.

F them picks!
If I start breaking it down into BTJ + ____ for _____ and then these picks + Penix for Goff, it feels like an overpay by one first. But you gotta overpay to get Chase.....it's the car analogy. I've got a car that's worth $10k, and someone offers me $10k for it. It's fair, but I'm not motivated to sell because I still need the car. Gotta overpay to make the other guy sell...

I definitely don't think you egregiously overpaid...

I think so. At this point, age+mileage means Barkley is a depreciating asset.
I am trying to trade Saquon as well.. problem I am finding is that no one wants him

The original deal we had worked out was BTJ + the 2 firsts for Chase.

Then I got a little greedy & added Goff to the mix, so it breaks down like:
Penix+ 2026 3rd + 2027 2nd + 2027 3rd for Goff, which in SF seems somewhat reasonable.

My confidence in Penix is waning a bit. I still think he has elite arm talent. I’m not convinced he’s going to be an elite FF producer.
 
Decent team (Team A) but too many injuries to overcome. Trading away older players to contenders...
All these happened last week...before the games.


Team A gave up Henry, Derrick BAL RB; Diggs, Stefon NEP WR; Year 2028 Round 4 Draft Pick
Team B gave up Harris, Tre LAC WR; Strange, Brenton JAC TE; Year 2027 Round 2 Draft Pick; Year 2028 Round 2 Draft Pick

=====

Team A gave up Swift, D'Andre CHI RB; Sutton, Courtland DEN WR
Team C gave up Olave, Chris NOS WR; Year 2027 Round 2 Draft Pick; Year 2029 Round 2 Draft Pick

=====

Team A gave up Kelce, Travis KCC TE
Team D gave up Year 2027 Round 3 Draft Pick

=====

Team A gave up Evans, Mike TBB WR; Shepard, Sterling TBB WR; Fairbairn, Ka'imi HOU PK; Year 2029 Round 4 Draft Pick
Team E gave up Shipley, Will PHI RB; Gadsden, Oronde LAC TE; Okonkwo, Chigoziem TEN TE; Year 2028 Round 2 Draft Pick

Seems like a decent price. Shame team A couldn’t have dealt Henry off his early returns. His value dropped in a hurry.
=====

Team A gave up Swift, D'Andre CHI RB; Sutton, Courtland DEN WR
Team C gave up Olave, Chris NOS WR; Year 2027 Round 2 Draft Pick; Year 2029 Round 2 Draft Pick

=====
Olave is the prize here. If he can avoid the injury bug this is a nice move by team A.
Team A gave up Kelce, Travis KCC TE
Team D gave up Year 2027 Round 3 Draft Pick

=====
How the mighty have fallen. I would think Kelce would still command a 2nd, especially 2 years out.
Team A gave up Evans, Mike TBB WR; Shepard, Sterling TBB WR; Fairbairn, Ka'imi HOU PK; Year 2029 Round 4 Draft Pick
Team E gave up Shipley, Will PHI RB; Gadsden, Oronde LAC TE; Okonkwo, Chigoziem TEN TE; Year 2028 Round 2 Draft Pick
Kicker sighting!

I don’t like either side of this deal. lol

i'd probably throw another player into it if required, no one great or anything, a depth piece to a team making a run at the title.
 
12 team SF PPR TEP

Just traded for Goff, my only QB right now, and realized he’s out this week.
:doh:


I gave: 2026 5th, 2027 5th
I rec’d: Andy Dalton

If I get 3 starts out of him I’m psyched. If he has success maybe Bryce stays the backup.
 
Blockbuster. I definitely overpaid.

I like this better than your original described deal for just Chase. I see Goff as a substantial upgrade over Penix despite the age difference. Worth more than the 2nd & 3rd you added IMO

Agreed, I love this deal for you @Hot Sauce Guy

Goff is very underrated in SF imo. He just turned 31, not really that old by QB standards. I agree with Buckna, I think Goff has more productive FF seasons in the remainder of his career than Penix does because I think it's reasonably likely that Penix washes out long before Goff ages out. And of course productive is a minimum barrier, Penix may never have a single season that matches what Goff will provide this year and the next few.

I am giving up on BTJ and am fine missing out if it happens. I don't own him anywhere so that means I'm just not trying to buy low. He seems like Michael Clayton 2.0 to me. Everything broke just right last year, not impressed when watching him play.

Thanks! It feels like a significant upgrade and absolutely makes me a league favorite next year if things break right.

This is pretty much where I was mentally with this one. Dude put Chase on the block and I remembered that during the start-up draft we came very close to doing 2x 1sts + BTJ for Chase, which got the ball rolling.

But then I got to thinking about what Penix was - I do believe he has elite arm talent, but my RB room is a little older so it helps me much more in the next 3-year window to have Goff than Penix.

BTJ is extremely disappointing to give up on. I had him last year in redraft and loved what I saw. Then the TLaw experience reared its ugly head again. I’m happy to finally not have a single Jaguar on any dynasty team. And it’s a clear upgrade even if BTJ does come around - he’ll never be Chase, a true cornerstone dynasty asset.

I have two leagues I'm trying to trade for him from teams who are basically out of playoff contention, and both want a bounty like Saquan is 25 years old and scoring 25 a game
 
Small one. 12 team 1QB start 10 0.5ppr

I’ve been competing last few years and as such have never had high draft picks. This year got Bill and Horton with 2 x 4th picks. Have been trying to look out for and take a chance on mini break outs to keep refreshing team and potentially need some depth right away due to injuries and byes

I get Jaylin Noel and a ‘28 4th

For

‘27 3rd ‘28 3rd


77 yards last week, Kirk dodgy hammy and Nico in concussion protocol, hoping he grabs the bull by the horns

I think that is a nice move .. low cost for a potential WR2 value (for a few weeks anyway)

And longer term if he can take this opportunity then Kirk is a UFA after this season

I am willing to add 2 #1s and Bill to go for guys like Gibbs or Bijan but probably shooting my sights too high. Will wait for a good game and try selling again.

2nd trade seems like a real steal for KA and Derwin. Good job there. I'm not seeing a ton of dropoff from either of those two and Williams and a pair of 4ths? You'll never regret that.
 
Well, the Jamo disappointment tour has me making another deal. Same league I just dealt for Goff+Chase, 12 team PPR TEP SF, start 10 no D/ST, no K

I sent: Jordan Mason+Isaac TeSlaa
I rec’d: Davante Adams+Luke Lachey

I didn’t need or want Lachey, but he was gonna drop him to make the deal with and it’s 2 point TEP, so why not.

post trade my WRs are Chase, Rice, Garrett Wilson (when he returns), and Adams, with Jamo as a possible flex

RBs post-trade are Jacobs, Rhamondre, Rico/Chuba and some scrubs

I definitely think this makes me more competitive this year and likely next. I have Reed & McMillan on IR, so if Adams gives me 2025 & 2026 it feels like a win. I don’t love losing my lone share of TeSlaa.
 
12 team PPR, start 1Q, 2R, 3W, 1T, 2F (R/W/T), 1K, 1DST

Gave:
Darnold, Sam SEA QB
Year 2026 Round 3 Draft Pick from Team A

Got (from Team A):
Prescott, Dak DAL QB

Team A is currently in last place, so think of the pick as 3.1. Our team is tied for #1, though on tiebreakers would currently be the #2 seed.

We have Burrow and Tua, so this is working the margins to upgrade from Darnold to Dak at least as long as Burrow is not healthy. Dak is #5 in ppg (24.39) vs. Darnold at #20 (19.97).

This is the 13th season of this league, and we have had miserable playoff fortune:
  • 2013 - missed playoffs
  • 2014 - #4 seed, lost in championship
  • 2015 - #6 seed, lost in championship
  • 2016 - #3 seed, lost in 2nd round
  • 2017 - #1 seed, lost in 2nd round
  • 2018 - #3 seed, lost in 2nd round
  • 2019 - #2 seed, lost in championship
  • 2020 - #5 seed, lost in championship
  • 2021 - #4 seed, lost in championship
  • 2022 - #1 seed, lost in championship
  • 2023 - #3 seed, lost in 1st round
  • 2024 - #1 seed, lost in 2nd round
  • 2025 - ?
Hoping this year is the year...

I applaud your 90s Bills run, hope this is the year. I like the deal for you, inexpensive upgrade and Dak has a lovely setup for fantasy for the forseeable future.

That's some NC State SH*T right there.

Definitely a win now trade. Darnold has 5ish more years left of starter level production. Dak has maybe 2. The 3rd is inconsequential in most formats. But you are correct, Dak is an upgrade from Darnold this year and with Burrow on our squad, it doesn't feel like giving up too much. Go get that 'ship!
 
Full PPR 1.5 TE Prem Start 2QB

Gave: Luther Burden, 2026 3rd
Got: Jordan Addison

I actually like Burden but I’m trying to 3-peat and take down the Empire pot and Addison helps me do that.
 
Kraft (TE GB) for Wan'Dale (WR/NYG). Full PPR

I have TE depth (Ferguson/Hock), and need a serviceable WR to make a run. Am I crazy to think this? Kraft has more long term value but I am in need of WR help and fast.

Wandale is real wildcard...I just don't trust him and I also see the Giants adding more to that WR unit this offseason...Kraft is a fantasy legit starter and will only be 25 in November but it does seem like the Packers will not maximize him which can be a little frustrating...that being said I would need a decent amount more than Wandale to make this move...it is far easier to find a player like Wandale than one like Kraft.
 
Full PPR 1.5 TE Prem Start 2QB

Gave: Luther Burden, 2026 3rd
Got: Jordan Addison

Easy deal for you to make...don't see what the other guy is thinking...the other piece to go with Burden needs to be a good amount better than a 3rd...your downside is pretty limited here.
 
12 team PPR, start 1Q, 2R, 3W, 1T, 2F (R/W/T), 1K, 1DST

Gave:
Darnold, Sam SEA QB
Year 2026 Round 3 Draft Pick from Team A

Got (from Team A):
Prescott, Dak DAL QB

Team A is currently in last place, so think of the pick as 3.1. Our team is tied for #1, though on tiebreakers would currently be the #2 seed.

We have Burrow and Tua, so this is working the margins to upgrade from Darnold to Dak at least as long as Burrow is not healthy. Dak is #5 in ppg (24.39) vs. Darnold at #20 (19.97).

This is the 13th season of this league, and we have had miserable playoff fortune:
  • 2013 - missed playoffs
  • 2014 - #4 seed, lost in championship
  • 2015 - #6 seed, lost in championship
  • 2016 - #3 seed, lost in 2nd round
  • 2017 - #1 seed, lost in 2nd round
  • 2018 - #3 seed, lost in 2nd round
  • 2019 - #2 seed, lost in championship
  • 2020 - #5 seed, lost in championship
  • 2021 - #4 seed, lost in championship
  • 2022 - #1 seed, lost in championship
  • 2023 - #3 seed, lost in 1st round
  • 2024 - #1 seed, lost in 2nd round
  • 2025 - ?
Hoping this year is the year...
I applaud your 90s Bills run, hope this is the year. I like the deal for you, inexpensive upgrade and Dak has a lovely setup for fantasy for the forseeable future.

In other news: 12 team SF 0.5 PPR:

Assuming that team is a contender, I like Henry. Actually, I probably like him regardless.
 
12-team Superflex Start 10 (1QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1TE, 1S, 2Flex), 0.5 PPR 6 points all TDs, 0.5 TE PPR Premium, -3 interceptions/fumbles lost, -1 point per 10 sack yards, 0.5 per rushing/receiving first down, 1 points per 10 rushing/receiving yard, and 1 point per 25 yards passing:

I sent:
Jared Goff

my 2026 4th (projected early)

I received:
Joe Burrow
2026 1st (projected mid to late)
2026 3rd (projected mid to late)
Jake Browning
Noah Fant

His team is 2-1 (probably a .500 level team before this) and my team is 3-0 with the least points possible. I was incredibly lucky to be 3-0.

Draft picks for non playoff teams are ordered by least points possible so this should make me the front runner for the 1.01 now.

For Refence my team now looks like this:

QB: Joe Burrow, Trevor Lawrence, Jake Browning, Sheduer Sanders, Zach Wilson, Joe Milton
RB: Cam Skattebo, Jonathan Brooks, Trevor Etienne, Jarquez Hunter, Sean Tucker, George Holani
WR: Justin Jefferson, Drake London, Travis Hunter, Marvin Harrison Jr., Brandon Aiyuk, Luther Burden, Josh Downs, Kyle Williams, Rashid Shaheed, Jaylin Noel, Dont'e Thornton
TE: Harold Fannin, Oronde Gadsden, Ben Sinnott, Noah Fant
Picks: Own 2026 1st, 2nd, and 3rd and mid-late 2026 1st and 3rd; own all my own future picks

I'm having a hard time with this one. It kind of sounds like you have a 3-0 team that you don't believe in and have decided to play for the 1.01? I'm not sure this is a package so good that you had no choice but to pack it in on a 3-0 team. I get it a little bit. That's a shaky RB room, but maybe Skat and Bill defy the odds and keep it above water.

Getting two years younger with Burrow while gaining a higher ceiling probably feels good going into 2026. However, the durability concerns are starting to get real for a guy that isn't a whipper snapper in his own right. I like Egbuka better than the mid/late 1st even in SF with some QB potential for the class. I like Bill better than the 3rd. So I do think you're paying a healthy price for the 2026 forward QB upgrade, which also includes throwing the towel in on a 3-0 team. I think I would have let this one play out a little longer. If your team regresses to 4-3 and a questionable playoff team, I'm sure this trade or another one like it would still be there.

My trade definitely hasn't aged the best. Just a couple weeks after I made it both Egbuka and JCM had huge games.

The other owner is close friend of mine that I've been playing dynasty fantasy football with for 15 years. We've never been able to make a trade where any asset involved in the trade was worth a 1st round or more due to both of us having similar views on roster construction evaluating trades very similarly. I think I was a bit to eager to finally make this sort of trade with him.

I think I also panicked a bit here because there is one team in the league I think could become a super team. I felt I needed another early pick to compete with him long term and was concerned if I didn't make a move I could end up lucking my way into the playoffs.

I agree with your evaluation of both Egbuka and JCM especially with a likely weak 2026 draft class. He is the WR8 right now at KTC though I do wonder in terms of caliber of WR (not necessarily play style) if he might be closer to a Jaylen Waddle, Ladd McConkey, Tee Higgans, or DeVonta Smith.

I am hoping both Hunter and MHJ end up living up to their draft capital and that either Aiyuk is able to get back to the WR he was in 2023 or that one of my other WRs ends up being a WR2 in the next couple of years.

Anyways, my team continues to defy the odds and I am now somehow 6-1. I somehow continue to play teams when they have a bad week almost every week.

Learning from dynasty trade mistakes is half the battle. The good news is that your 6-1 team will get an influx of high draft picks along with your new #1 QB.

I read it as the classic mistake of overvaluing future draft picks when your current draft picks were already looking like homerun selections at that point of the season. With Fant in the mix, maybe also a Bengals fan getting his guys? Regardless, it's just a game and trading with friends is part of the fun. Also, it's really easy to short-change the Burrow component at this point in 2025. He comes back dealing in 2026, and that's huge in superflex, regardless of how productive Goff is at present.

More good news, you at least had the good sense to hold on to Skattebro. I thought I was selling high after the Tracy injury and first mini-breakout game, selling with Kincaid (who's also putting it together) for Tetairoa. 4th round NFL draft capital and a disposable TE for a top-10 pick, what could go wrong? Had no idea I was sending out an RB1 stud that I thought I was getting at the 1.1. Needless to see it's a big crapshoot. Both of our trades could very well work out at some point in the future pending circumstances completely out of our control.

12 team TEP PPR SF, no K, no D/ST

I drafted TE well with Ferguson, Theo, Mason Taylor, and Likely. With Kaleb being a bust, my RBs were pretty thin behind Gibbs/Rhamondre. Just Charbonet & JCM. Gibbs & Charbs are both on a BYE, behind them I have Allgeier, Justice Hill, Kaleb, Sean Tucker, Keaton Mitchell - lot of dart throws.

I gave: Mason Taylor
I rec’d: Kyle Monangai

And as a special bonus, I’m down to 1 Jets offensive player in 1 league (Garrett Wilson, in my other 12 teamer).

Yeah, Tet could end up being a top 10 fantasy WR in the future and could easily be the best redraft asset in that trade a couple years so your trade could work out for you.

In terms of rooting interests, I'm a Indianapolis Colts all weather fan and IU Hoosier football fair weather fan. This is year 2 of this particular dynasty league. My homer picks were MHJ (was a big Marvin Harrison Sr. fan so I wanted his son on one of my dynasty teams) and Downs in the startup hybrid auction-draft last year. The other league I play in is a 1QB dynasty league that is now in year 16. I'm the commissioner of both leagues so that also probably makes me a bit more willing to play for the future than other owners.

If my memory serves me right I think the trade talks with my friend were like this.

1. I drafted Egbuka at 2.02 back in May 2025. I had him ranked as the 8th best prospect in the 2025 draft. My friend immediately offered me his 2026 1st for Egbuka but I told him I thought the 2026 NFL Draft was likely weak and I valued him more than a 2026 mid to late 1st.

2. About a week after Joe Burrow got hurt I mentioned to my friend that I thought about making him an offer for Joe Burrow that included Egbuka but decided against it.

3. The next week my friend followed up about what I'd be willing to give up. I told him something along the lines of Egbuka + Goff for Burrow + 2026 1st + Browning but that I felt like I still owed him about 2.07 to 2.10 pick in value of in the trade so I'd also need to add someone such as Rashid Shaheed. He asks for Skattebo or JCM instead. I am a hard no on Skattebo and tell him I'll need something back if I include JCM since I valued him around the value of a 2.02 to 2.04 pick at the time.

4. I suggest Egbuka + Goff + JCM for Burrow + 2026 1st + 2026 3rd + Browning. He says no and suggests Egbuka + Goff + JCM + Gadsden for Burrow + 2026 1st + Browning + 2026 3rd + Jalen Coker + Noah Fant. I am a hard no on including Gadsden who at the time I valued around an early to mid 2026 3rd so more than Coker or his 2026 3rd. I felt I already had several developmental WRs similar to Coker and Fannin was the only other TE on my roster that had shown any promise so I wasn't willing to flip Gadsden and Coker in the trade.

5. I countered with the trade that was ultimately accepted because he didn't want to include Tahj Brooks, Brian Robinson, or Jalen Coker instead of Noah Fant. I didn't love flipping my 2026 4th for Fant but felt those two were close enough that I wasn't going to hold up the trade over that flip.

I am at least glad that I liked Cam Skattebo or Oronde Gadsden both enough back in September that I wasn't willing to include either in the trade.

Sometimes the best deals are the ones you avoid. Case in point. You’d be kicking yourself until 2030 if you’d tossed in either or both of those dudes.
 
Full PPR 1.5 TE Prem Start 2QB

Gave: Luther Burden, 2026 3rd
Got: Jordan Addison

I actually like Burden but I’m trying to 3-peat and take down the Empire pot and Addison helps me do that.
Yikes

Who’s out here on these streets giving up Addison for Burden? I’d need a 1st+Burden at least. Not sure I even make that deal tbh.
I was surprised he didn’t counter back for me. I knew he was a fan of Burden, had tried to get him a few weeks ago. He’s in a full rebuild for what it’s worth, but not like Addison is an older player by any means. Guess he wanted the points off to lock in 1.01 next year.

That's way too complicated for me to comprehend, and I don't play IDP or salary cap leagues so I have no clue what's happening here.

But I see CeeDee and Bowers on one side and say - that's the side for me!
