2.02=2021 2
1.01 has a better prospect profile than Kamara and nearly double the prime production window starting in 2020. And RoJo a breakout candidate this year. To argue for the other side.
I am on the Karmara side. the value of the 1.01 and RoJo does not come close to Karmara's.
Nice trade for the new Sanders owner...he gets a RB that will be 23 in May and is on the doorstep of being a top 10 RB...that is a big time asset...Woods is solid and can help but I don't like how valuable he is for the package coming back...Mostert looked fantastic last year but he will be 28 in two weeks and was a guy that most fantasy owners picked up on waivers last year, I would take him but do not want him as a main cog for giving up Sanders...the more I look at this the less it makes sense for a last place team...Woods and Mostert are pieces that would help a good team but not what a rebuilding team should be chasing...2.2 is nice but it is still only pick 14 so you don't really know what you are gonna get...I like the fact the new Sanders owner gave away the one in 2021 and got a 2021 two back...that gives him a year to be able to recoup that pick and that #2 could be part of that eventual package...this is another example of a team nibbling around the edges of their roster, not disrupting their foundation and getting back a potential stud.
I take the Hockenson side easily. I value TJ over Singleterry who I see more of a good RB in RBBC over Bell cow. TJ can be top 10 TE and the bonus is huge. I do not find this as deep of a draft as last year. So the 2.1 could be huge especially with Young and the 3 big name LB of Simmons, Queen and Murray. Add in the 3-5 RB, 4-7 WR. 1 TE, 1 QB and 4 IDP. After this another group of 2 RB, 2 WR, 2 TE, 2 QB, 2 DE, 3 LB.
If he had said Burrow or Tua instead of the 2.01 would you still say Singletary side? Because both will probably fall into the 2nd round of start 1 QB leagues.
If you have Kamara this is an excellent deal...Murray is the type of handcuff worth owning if you have the roster space...in the off-season everyone is healthy so guys like Murray seem so boring...once the season starts injuries become reality...you wouldn't sniff that deal if Kamara went down...instead you would have to overpay for what you could have received from Murray.
Sanders might be the best piece in the end, it's all going to depend if he takes the next step into stardom. It's not too much to risk to find out though.Snorkelson said:
I did a similar boring handcuff move last week in FFPC. I own Zeke.
I go AJ Brown here in this format rather easily. Not quite sure if that's unpopular or not based on replies
Mixon so easily hereNE_REVIVAL said:
Hock easily as wellDez said:
Woods pretty easily. I love me some Miles Sanders, but he's better suited as RB2 than an RB1. Not a dominant asset for years but he'll have his moments.Mark Football said:
I like your trade for you more then the trade I made for me. If I did not own Kamara I'd not have wanted Latavius, would have acquired someone else but in leagues I don't own Zeke I'm hanging onto Pollard. Plus 4.7 to 4.11 is close to nothing.
I don’t own zeke and own pollard. I’ve tried packaging him and getting a pick straight up with the zeke owner but he has no interest. I think he’s waiting for me to drop him but I won’t- he’s been good when given the opportunity. Certainly not doing it for a 4 spot bump in the 4th. Even if I’m ditching a roster spot it’s probably better to just release him so the guy has to make it a FA priority and use a pick or bid $$. Why just give pollard to the zeke owner and make his team stronger for nothing?
I own Pollard and am right there with you. He’s young, earned his back up role there and if injury happens to Zeke, Pollard would instantly go into my lineup. I’ve offered the Zeke owner a deal or two but he’d have to overpay to get him or I’ll just hold. Bottom line.
I’d cash out if i got something reasonable, a pick upgrade from rd 3 to rd 2, something like that. I wouldn’t do it for a late 3rd I don’t think. Certainly not for a 4 pick bump in rd 4.
I like your way of thinking.
Yeah, that's a lot but sometimes you have to overpay to get the guy you want. We often look at trades in through the lens of did I win or lose a particular trade when the focus should be did your team get better or worse after the trade(s).
If I was your team and got that offer I'd not be able to hit accept fast enough. So I think it's great value for Barkley.
Tex that is a great point. Obviously losing Julio as an every week starter probably hurts the most, but I'd like to think my WR core has enough good young players that I could expect one or two to step up and take Julio's place in my lineup. Here is my roster after the trade:
You seem to be weak at QB and RB after Barkley. Your WRs look meh after Hill and Brown. Your TEs don't look strong to me either.
But doesn't that make the trade make even more sense with this roster? I'm not going to win this league with weaker QBs and non-proven TEs, so seems now is the time to move Gurley and Julio before their value falls further. And I do disagree with your WR take. Dionta Johnson could very well end up more productive than JuJu. Deebo, Crowder and Preston Williams were worthy of flex starts last year. Is it unrealistic to think that at least one of them (if not all 3) won't improve this year, especially when Diontae gets Big Ben for his QB and Preston likely gets Tua?
I have no qualms about this team trading Gurley or Jones. I haven't even read what you got, but in general I wouldn't balk at a team like this trading both. As for Johnson, I disagree with your thinking that he could end up more productive than JuJu. I don't believe that would happen. I hear the Charges may move up to #3 and take Tua. I like Deebo, but not more than a fantasy WR3 at best for 2020.
Probably not a popular take I realize, but last year Diontae averaged more points per game than JuJu. And the last 3 weeks of the regular season Diontae was a top 5 WR in PPR leagues. He's probably the best route runner on the team. I think its very possible Ben likes and connects with him as much as he does JuJu. Time will tell of course.
Sometimes the best takes and one's that lead to more fantasy success are not the most popular takes. Carry on.
I've sent 200 offers in the last 3 years for Barkley and have not got a single counter. I've offered more than this. Good deal for sure.
Yes I think so. Julio isn't doing enough for you to win the ship (probably) and Barkley is undoubtedly worth more to your lineup than the 1.03. The rest are add-ons but I like your new add-ons better. Yes I'm calling Gurley an add-on, and my goodness how good it must be to get rid of him.
I've seen him cut in a few of my FFPC leagues, that's great for you. Now trade a future 5 and current 4.10 to move up in the 4th and grab him again
I'd have traded Jonnu instead myself because I trust a rookie TE making a second year leap more then I trust a TE making leap from year 3 to year 4. But if you could get nothing for Jonnu, and I could only get a 4th for him myself after months of hawking him, this makes sense to move the one you could get something tangible for.
TX, I own both in a few lgs and value them pretty closely but there is much more interest in Smith for the most part.
Just for the record on this little trade of mine, the other team made the offer to me as cut down date approached, and I insta-accepted. I was surprised he gave him to me as well for just a 4 pick bump in the 4th. Weird but, hey, I’ll take it.
And you own zeke? Seems like he could have asked for a 3rd outright, or a 3rd with a 4th going back...I get being under the gun but sheesh...is it ffpc? Maybe a shrewd move to get you to keep a handcuff vs another player.....
Classic case of Millennial instant gratification not realized. No one should give up on 1st rd pick TEs after one season. Everyone knows the position is slow to show anyway.
Yes I own Zeke. I think I mentioned it in my original post as well but, yes, it’s FFPC. We all have to cut a bunch of players we'd rather not around this time in that format. I do like it though.
