Regarding the 1.15, this league awards a bonus first-rounder to the toilet bowl winner. So the first round is 15 picks and the other rounds are 14.Arodin said:Woukd the people taking the Moncreif side feel different if the pick was described as 2.1? Because that would usually be how the 15th pick of a 14-team draft would be described,..
I'd still take Moncreif. Never been a Cooks fan.
Freeman and GreenNot sure if these were posted on here but I seen a couple trades I can't really understand from a DFWC league from a couple months ago. These are PPR leagues with 20 man rosters.
D-Freeman for Funchess and ASJ
AJ Green for 1.4 and L-Murray
Neither seems close either. Sure in time the trades could work out the other way but based on current value I don't see how either are very close. Puzzling really.Freeman and Green

His trade market is soft but I wouldn't go this far. He's still being drafted in the same vicinity as the 1.1 and should have several years as borderline WR1 production left.menobrown said:If the 2.7 was on the other side I'd still say no if I had 1.1 and yes if I was dealing DT.
Terrible overpay for DT.
I think the main thing is that he's done more to prove he can operate as a true #1 WR whereas Cobb failed his chance at that pretty miserably. That not only gives him higher upside, but it puts a lot less dependency on everyone around him staying healthy. Cobb doesn't just get derailed by a Cobb injury. He gets derailed by a Rodgers injury, or even a Jordy injury. Or even some kind of team shake-up that puts more pressure on him. Down the road (Cobb is signed for 3 years so we probably don't have to worry about it for a while) any team change is much less scary for Allen as well.I don't think Allen belongs in a different tier than Cobb. What has he done that Cobb hasn't? He had a nice half year last year before getting hurt. In 8 games last year he had 725/4. In 14 games in 2014 he had 783/4. That's 1508/8 in 22 games. Two years ago Cobb had 1287/12 - about 2 more points in standard scoring than Allen had in his last two seasons combined.
Allen just turned 24, and he clearly has upside. But how much upside does he have over what Cobb has already done? And Cobb is just 25 himself, turning 26 in august.
Put Cobb and Allen on the Browns and I'll take Allen. But I get Cobb on the Packers playing with Rodgers. I can see putting Allen higher in the same tier but putting him a tier up is too much for me. And I have Gio a clear tier up from Mathews.
Multiple wrongs don't make it right but in leagues I'm in their value is not close.His trade market is soft but I wouldn't go this far. He's still being drafted in the same vicinity as the 1.1 and should have several years as borderline WR1 production left.
So the consensus is wrong and you're right? I see.Multiple wrongs don't make it right but in leagues I'm in their value is not close.
Cobb + Gio by a lot. Allen might be most over-rated WR in dynasty.Heep said:12 Team PPR (2 RB, 3 WR, 2 Flex)

I don't think Cobb failed, I think he was playing with a bad shoulder and that's a different ballgame entirely. So on that note I don't think he gets derailed in the least by an injury to Jordy.I think the main thing is that he's done more to prove he can operate as a true #1 WR whereas Cobb failed his chance at that pretty miserably.

Down the road (Cobb is signed for 3 years so we probably don't have to worry about it for a while) any team change is much less scary for Allen as well.
I think it's also not to be ignored that Allen's disappointing season was 2 years ago and he was playing well last year, whereas for Cobb it was the opposite and his last good season was further away.
Agree with this, in most leagues the 1.1 is very valuable right now, the Zeke love is crazy and DT value is at an all time low. I'm not saying it makes complete sense but if you could get 1.1 for any guy around Zeke's ADP in dynasty startup you did well and as someone who bought and sold DT this offseason I can tell you the exact opposite is true of him. This is consistent in my 4 leagues anywayMultiple wrongs don't make it right but in leagues I'm in their value is not close.
Whoa, you need to slow it down and go back a bit to what you wrote.So the consensus is wrong and you're right? I see.
In most of my leagues I'm certain I could get 1.1 relatively easily if it's held by a contender. All depends on the state of the team holding the 1.1 and what they're trying to achieve. Obviously if the 1.1 is held by the team who earned it then this is much less likely to happen.
age and situation I guess, I'm not saying it is right but have you tried to trade him? Very hard to find an interested owner this offseasonSo why is DT's value so low. I don't quite get it. 2 years ago he was the number 2 WR in PPR. last year he was the number 9 WR and he had a bad year with a QB who couldn't throw the ball more than 20 yards. He's been a top 10 WR the last 4 years.
i get that the QB situation is unknown, but Peyton was really bad last year and almost anything would be an improvement. So why no love?
That's really poor value for DTjeaton6 said:DT getting cheaper and cheaper every day.
Yeah it's not just the situation, he's hit that age where he's no longer the sexy new thing and his perceived value will only dwindle for the rest of his career.age and situation I guess, I'm not saying it is right but have you tried to trade him?

I totally agree with this. And I'm all good with getting those proven guys in the middle of their career and piecing together a really strong team. The good thing is, there is always someone else coming up that you can trade for. Like you say, in a couple years you'll be able to get Hopkins and Evans and still get some great years out of them. Heck, 2 years ago, DT was the number 2 WR and Jordy was the number 3 WR. Now those guys are usually ranked in the late teens and early 20's for dynasty WRs. Sure, you're not going to get 10 good years out of them, but you can easily get 2-3 good years and then do the same thing all over again with similar guys.Yeah it's not just the situation, he's hit that age where he's no longer the sexy new thing and his perceived value will only dwindle for the rest of his career.
We saw this first with RBs. No one even mentioned LT's age when ranking him as the #1 dynasty RB at 28/29. Then all of the sudden 29 year old RBs were old. Then a few years later 28 year olds were considered ancient. Now you've pretty much got to be 24 and fresh to have any value.
Now it's WR's turn. AJ was the hot young thing as the #1 dynasty WR at 28. A few years later, a 28 year old stud is just that guy that's more than half a decade older than that 22 year old stud over there. We've probably got about 3 years until Sammy Watkins is considered damaged goods next to that 21 year old guy that just put up 55% as many fantasy points as him.
It's just the nature of things. I suppose the shark play would be to buy these guys up. Imagine just two years ago having Dez, Demaryius, and AJ Green as your starting WR trio. Now, that's actually fairly attainable and most people aren't even interested. Why would you want a somewhat young guy that just put up four consecutive 100 catch, 1300+ yard seasons when you could instead have a really young guy that just squeaked out his first 1000 yard season?
I mock the idea, but will readily admit that I am just as susceptible to it as everyone else. I want Elliot. And Watkins. And Cooper. It's human nature I guess. Two years later, that shiny new toy is just the boring reliable veteran. But look, there's a new shiny toy over there. I want it.
If you can fight the cool new thing perception there is value to be had. It's a tough battle to win for many of us, though.
The reigning champ in our league, has done two trades with me this offseason. In short I gave himYeah it's not just the situation, he's hit that age where he's no longer the sexy new thing and his perceived value will only dwindle for the rest of his career.

Well aware of what I wrote. Yes cited consensus (i.e. the alleged multiple wrongs) as a datapoint point that the value isn't TERRIBLE as you indicate.Whoa, you need to slow it down and go back a bit to what you wrote.
You sir, not me, YOU, are the one who shot down MY opinion and cited the consensus ADP.
You got a lot of nerve coming at me with this consensus crap after that.
But how are you going to get those "similar guys" in 2-3 years? You'll have to trade for them if you don't already have them. Maybe trade a 1st - above the guy traded the #1 overall to get DT, that's a big price tag. Then you'll have to do it all over again when that guy slows down. Why do all that when you could just get a Cooper or Watkins or Evans or Hopkins or Cooks or A Rob or (fill in the blank with the young WR you like)? If I have that young guy now, I won't have to give up something in 2-3 years all over again to replace my aging DT or Jordy.I totally agree with this.

I like his side, and his thinking. He won the title, thinks he likely doesn't have the pieces to do it again - and rebuilds for a run in maybe as short as 2 years.The reigning champ in our league, has done two trades with me this offseason. In short I gave him
RG3, Freeman, Coleman, Evans, and Bortles (Superflex)
I got back Rodgers, ADP, McKinnon, Antonio Brown, and Kirk Cousins.
He has the shiny toys now, I think I've got a lot more points for at least the next two seasons.
