One of the big benefits of having duplicates is to make trading easier because you have twice as many ways of acquiring the player you want. If one guy is unreasonable or never makes trades, you then have a second option. (I'm also in a 36 team, three copy league so you have three options there) Seems dumber to me to own more than one copy of the same guy, eggs and baskets and all.
Why limit that option? Whether you think it's a good idea or not to do is up to the owner but why limit it from happening? I think that was the point being made.
Devil’s advocate response (as I’m not invested in that format): I would think it would be to eliminate the chances of the other side of that coin happening.
So? Isn't that part of every year in every format? Ever owner had a chance to get the other copy so it's their own fault. I would also think that marquee players would be virtually impossible to get both copies as generally the copies should go in basically the same area of the draft and not necessarily a full round apart.
well no, because most other formats only have the 1 player, not duplicates.
true, conceptually, but ya never know. Players slide. And regardless that wouldn’t prevent a team from paying a hefty sum to get the 2nd JT or Kupp, in my hypothetical.
All good. I figured.
What I meant is that in every league there is a chance one team dominates the draft and gets a stacked team. This is no different. Other owners have the same chance to take those players. If a team is able to dominate the draft they should be rewarded whether it's with multiple JT's/Kupps or just with JT/Chase/Kupp/Andrews/Brady (which was very possible last year). I really don't see a difference.
To me you are like saying you can't have more than 2 top 5 RBs on your team. Why limit options. If a team can draft or trade and make their team good the league rules shouldn't stop that.well no, because most other formats only have the 1 player, not duplicates.

Gave 4 quarters, got back 2x 50 cent pieces. And ya cleared 2 roster spots.
I like the Pittman side of the equation more, but I totally get it if you're high on AJ.
Dependent on team needs but it seems fair.
I like Palmer more than many of the 2022 WRs, and his future opportunity looks bright, given the age of Keenan Allen (30), and to a lesser degree, Mike Williams (27)
Getting Olave isn't a terrible consolation. Give me London/Walker over 1.07 (Olave).
I see a large difference. Palmer has an elite QB throwing to him, and Marshall has Mayfield/Darnold. Also Palmer looks like a legit NFL WR, while I haven’t seen Marshall look good at all.

This is a great move. Without the roster spots. With, this is a smash accept. You didn't lose anything of great value to me and got back a top end RB and a very good TE. Good work.
I'm definitely not high enough on Palmer to think he is worth 5 spots in the top of the 1st and an early 3rd, even in a bad draft.
I'd take the 1.02 pretty easily here. I'd need a lot more than Palmer to move down from 2 to 7. Heck, I'm not sure Palmer is worth more than the 3.02.
Seems like a lot of assets to move up into the early to mid 2023 first round. Do y'all have smallish rosters? You'd have to assume that Gesiki and Thielen will both be automatic starters on Team A's roster, possibly moving them down a good bit in the draft.
We have pretty big rosters also. 22, plus 2 IR, and a 15 person taxi that a guy can stay on for 2 years. He really wanted a D and to move up but I think he paid to much to do so.
I'm not as high on Davis as some but if that 2nd is early I have no problem with this in a 1 QB league. Watson just got 6 games and I expect the league to appeal for it to be even longer. You are deep there and needed a WR. Seems like a win-win to me.
I’d rather have Hollywood, myself.
I agree with that on Olave. I would have used that though and the fact that the pick was 2 years out to make sure it was a 2nd. 3rds are just too likely to be nothing.
Short Term I see Brown more valuable, but I am a fan of Olave. I think 2023 will he will be more WR1 commodity. This year the MT/Kamara residual value will start the steep decline, leaving Olave as the primary asset.
I am also a fan of Olave but he is an unknown. I would have liked the pick to be a 2nd personally. It works for these managers because the one getting Olave is rookie crazy every year and the one getting Brown is way more prone to take the proven commodities.
Yes absolutely. The market is soooo much wider than a typical 12 team league. And it compounds because not only is there the possibility of one manager being more likely to trade player X to you, there are 24 people instead of 12 (plus more than that is likely because of comanagers). There are just a ton more permutations possible to find a deal with someone.
Give me Hall
If Toney and Gabe both hit, could be pretty level. But I think CMC could still net a bigger package. Give me the CMC side.
Fair deal. Depends on circumstances. I lean Hall due to positional scarcity, and Deebo having a first year starter at QB.
CMC, but I don’t mind the value in return. Nice pieces + a ‘23 1st. Might be a stitch low for CMC, but it’s not terrible.
