I like this one for you
I think that datapoint is an outlier. I would expect his value is more along the lines of a future 5th rounder.
Why are you getting the higher pick? I don't get this for the other guy.
because he hit me out of left field with Ferguson for Gesicki*, Nico and a 3rd which I saw as a pretty awesome deal for me and figured what the heck I'd be greedy for a change and counter with his 2nd and my 3rd and bingo it happened. had mentioned I was very high on Ferguson in my Knox decline.
He did clear one of those holy roster spots we FFPC guys are always preaching about, and in my case I can easily take on another. He may have noticed that when he sent the initial offers IDK.
yes
Interesting deal...Lazard, Mooney, Gallup and White are all side pieces that don't mean much to me...it comes down to McLaurin for Bigsby...getting McLaurin is solid but I do get being nervous that he may underperform this year with a potential nagging injury...Bigsby is really intriguing and since he is being added to Etienne that should lock down one starting RB spot for the whole year which is a good thing when you take into account all the uncertainty with that position...if I had Etienne and could not figure out another way to get Bigsby I would pull the trigger on this.
thanks, I'm the other guy
All good, this one was purely about value for me. I don't care about that early 2nd enough to stop from making a good value deal. I don't see them as JAGs first of all. Everett especially is undervalued these days. And CEH somehow survived this offseason. He will get meaningful touches this year, is still young, and I need RB depth. In my Franchise Points system this is 12-15 points for the early 2nd vs 11 for CEH, 11 for Everett, and 5 and 5 for the 3rds. Which is the equivalent of turning a 2nd into a 1st.
I neglected to mention a very important point. By my system, both of us turned a 2nd or equivalent into the equivalent of a 1st because dude cleared two roster spots, which I count as 7 and 7.
It is
I despise Everett but that does add another thing to this deal.
lol OMG ok well I need to hear this then! I'm only lukewarm I probably liked CEH and the 3rds more in my deal...tell me what you hate about this guy? What did he do to you? He bounced you in the semis didn't he?
lol well I assume you meant for fantasy not like he banged your wife or something. that's fair but I think on the TE scale that's just how it goes. unless you have a top stud. so for me i like a guy like everett (and many others like him) simply because he does have an impressive ceiling. i think you just have to take your medicine if you don't have a top guy and hope you don't get floor weeks.
I'm eternally and forever a week - to - week guy. I don't care about end of season stats I care about one week at a time. I'm not talking about him doing anything special. But Herbert loves him and that offense provides a really good ceiling in a given game. I want guys that are capable of 7/80/1 once in a while or 4/65/2 even. I know there's clunkers in between but I already addressed that. They're TEs. 1 or 2 decent seasons as a utility TE for me is fine for the 3rd biggest piece of a modest at most deal.
oh yeah no biggie but what do you mean you avoid that scenario? which one? only asking because I truly don't follow what you mean. the scenario of whack-a-mole TEs?
The whack-a-mole
Yea I hate it too and try to avoid as well. The vast majority of my dynasty squads are *much* stronger at TE1. I have a lot of Kelce/Andrews/Hockenson/Waller/Goedert - this deal doesn't change my status really. I was in whack a mole TE mode before the deal and I still am. Just a churning kind of deal that gives me some depth. Anyway thanks for your thoughts!
Looks like a three peat.
I need to look at trading Kelce and Higgins now... I know I can't get Jefferson but maybe go after Chase.
Yep...thats what talked the rest of us owners down...he "won" the trade but gave up the best player...maybe in FFB?
Calculators are stupid.
Love it. These types of trades are what champions are made of. Middling assets for a potential home run. Not many make these trades but they have worked out for me time and time again.
