12 team DEVY / Dynasty PPR, this trade went down today.
Team A gave up Amon-Ra-St. Brown
Team B gave up Jordan Addison and Devonta Smith
ASB for me. Feels like a quarter for 2 dimes.
Agree but those dimes look more like nickels to me.
I like Addison and Smith well enough but just don’t see them as ever being “the man” in an offense, which St Brown already is.
I was the one getting ASB, I sent an initial offer and this was his counter. I sat on the offer for a good 12-15 hours before accepting. My initial thought was that both Addison and
Smith were trapped behind top 5 talent and that wouldn't change for awhile. The problem was, I couldn't find a Dynasty Value Trade Chart that would agree with me. I probably looked at 10 of them, and all favored the Smith/Addison side by a decent margin. It wasn't close. The only site I could find that called the trade even was keep/trade/cut, and really, keep/trade/cut is probably the worst one out there. It opened my eyes to how bad these Trade Value Charts are, they are almost universally terrible.
I do prefer ASB, but Smith and Addison are both good, young WRs, with upside down the road if their situations change. I
don't really expect ASB to put up better numbers in the future, in fact, he may drop down a little with LaPorta eating into his numbers. Smith could get back to his 2022 numbers and Addison could certainly improve some in his second year. I looked at it as (2) 15 cent pieces for a quarter. Maybe 2 dimes. Two Nickels is underselling Addison/Smith.
