I agree. Even with this class being so deep I think I like the 1.02 side here. I mean, i suppose if he is just totally gutting a team and has like 1 or 2 solid pieces at RB already, i could kinda see it.12 Team PPR
1.2 for 1.6, 1.11, 2.6, 2.11.
The guy selling 1.2 has a lot of work to do but this seemed cheap to me.
His only top 100 players are DJ and Shepard. He needs depth but don't think he spent much time shopping.I agree. Even with this class being so deep I think I like the 1.02 side here.

yeah thats not enough pieces for me to come off the 1.02 thereHis only top 100 players are DJ and Shepard. He needs depth but don't think he spent much time shopping.
I used PPG in all three years because that's a much more relevant number. I don't care if a guy misses a couple of games, I still get to start someone else so I'm not taking a blank and it's easy enough to find a quality backup QB. But the games he does play he scores better on average than Cam. Yes, him having better PPG is the main selling point because points in a given week is what wins you games in my leagues. You say Cam's "down years" but I say 2015 was the outlier, it's the only season in his last 4 with over 24 TD's and/or over 6 rushing TD's.Ben having better ppg in his Cam's two down seasons is the main selling point? I agree he has better weapons but Benjamin was returning from an ACL injury and Funchess showed some progress as a rookie. I think Carolina may add a WR in free agency as well.
While Cam may run less, I don't think his running ability which is a real difference maker (in fantasy and in real football) is just going to go away.
I think the bigger issue however is not just Ben's advanced age (agree that age doesn't mean as much for a QB in dynasty), but the inability to stay healthy that comes with that age. Ben has shown that he will miss a few games a season the last couple of years (which is why you used ppg in 2016) - do you expect him to miss less time at 36+?

Pick in both dealsmenobrown said:FFPC, TE premium:
Gave: Jordan Reed
Got: 1.2
I love Reed as much as anyone but I have some other young TE's, injury risk and quality of player I anticipate at 1.2 but probably biggest reason is injury risk.
Here is interesting FFPC rules league trade last night I think people would be interested in as it's a player I know a lot of people are trying to value, I'm not involved and both owners are really good so this is not two fools making a trade:
Team A gave: Tyrek Hill
Team B gave: 1.12
With the necessary caveat about injury, I am pretty certain that next August Tyrrek Hill will be ranked higher in dynasty than any rookie drafted outside of the first 8 picks. I know this is a deep draft, but we are talking the 12th best rookie in it.Pick in both deals
Yep, that's why I'm not selling for 1.12. On the surface it sounds sexy to get a 1st for a guy you probably got on the wire for min bid, but too many people fall in the trap of "it only cost me X". If your house only cost you 100k but was appraised at 350k would you all of a sudden be looking to sell it a 250k "because I'll make a 150k profit"? Of course not, you're going to sell it for every penny you can get for it. If that's only 320k so be it, or if it's 470k because you live in DC and those people are insane then by all mean go for it.With the necessary caveat about injury, I am pretty certain that next August Tyrrek Hill will be ranked higher in dynasty than any rookie drafted outside of the first 8 picks. I know this is a deep draft, but we are talking the 12th best rookie in it.
The sad truth is that 4-6 rookies taken in the 1st round of dynasty drafts in 2017 will never achieve the level of success that Hill already has. Even if Hill regresses say 20%, he will still be worth 1.12 as a proven commodity.
The pick is also an asset that is only going to increase in value the closer we get to rookie drafts. It's possible that it can be flipped for a safer WR than Hill. I'll admit I didn't catch enough Chiefs' games to garner a strong opinion on Hill either way - but I could see both sides of this deal. Sometimes these "gimmicky" type players burst on the scene and then settle back into their smaller roles. Like I said, perhaps I'm being a bit unfair on Hill because I did not see him enough, but the general impression I got is that he's more of a Tavon Autsin type than a traditional WR.With the necessary caveat about injury, I am pretty certain that next August Tyrrek Hill will be ranked higher in dynasty than any rookie drafted outside of the first 8 picks.

Don't watch them, it'll hurt. Just watch the box scores and collect your points. Hill was WR7. He manufactures points far better than Austin. His floor is much safer because he's got a QB that lives for high floors and even if he's rushing/catching less then he'll be returning more.The pick is also an asset that is only going to increase in value the closer we get to rookie drafts.

Hill was not WR7 in any of my ppr leagues (WR24 in most, WR31 in one) so that's also a disconnect. What's your scoring system that lands him at WR7 because my leagues are all fairly "normal".Don't watch them, it'll hurt. Just watch the box scores and collect your points. Hill was WR7.

I definitely agree the pick appreciates but in my experience later picks don't really pick up as much steam until they are OTC. It's those looking to get whoever "slides" to 5 or trying to trade up into 1.02 to get Cook/Fournette that really get silly. 2017's depth will help once we know everyone that's in/out but I think that remains pretty static. I do like moving picks once they are OTC because you really maximize value at that point.
Full PPR, return yardage at .04 per yard (1 per 25 yards). I actually made a slight mistake, I usually sort by PPG in which case he'd be WR9. He was WR7 in overall scoring which I don't really consider.Hill was not WR7 in any of my ppr leagues (WR24 in most, WR31 in one) so that's also a disconnect.

Seems more reasonable in this format 10 team non-PPR than in a 12 team full or half PPR.I'd imagine most people would rather have Allen because of age and potential, but I'd rather have Shady.

Its important that you separate hype from performance... Tavon Austin and Cordarelle Patterson both have had major hype from the start... they were both top three rookie picks in dynasty drafts... and they disappointed because the performance never lived up to the hype. Any comparison to them is pejorative as a result.The pick is also an asset that is only going to increase in value the closer we get to rookie drafts.

I am with you TR.... I hate putting too many eggs into a single pair of ACLsSeems like a fair deal to me. I would probably rather have a team with Green and the 2 RB2, but I am not surprised to be in the minority. Having one of the 3 elite RB is definitely a big plus short term and no guarantee Green is relevant longer. But for Green's side, he actually led the league in PPG PPR if you throw out the game he got injured on the first series. Not sure DJ's 20 TD or his 80 receptions is sustainable, although I expect him to still be elite and put similar or slightly more points to Green. Ultimately I have slightly more confidence Green will have more elite years.

Looks like we need to add "Completed Trades" to this thread.....Was just offered Amari Cooper for Gronk and Keenan Allen.
It's a heavy keeper (6 guys) and I already have Leveon, David Johnson, Julio, Hopkins, Ajayi, and Michael Thomas, so I'm looking to do some 2 for 1 deals to upgrade my top 6.
I don't think that I can trust Gronk's health going forward. I hate to lose him, but he did bunk for me this year.
Haven't Maclin, D. Jax, T. Owens, K. Curtis all had big years under Reid?If tyreek hill blows up in kc, he will have overcome
1) andy reid's limited true wr1 udage
2) alex smith's limited true wr1 usage
3) kansas city's limited true wr1 usage
4) his own low draft status
5) reduxing his high variance plays
6) maclin's return
7) the presumptive return of charles, ware, or some other rb1 as the focus of reid's offense
I would be happy to gamble on him cheap, but his price went up faster than his value. As a rule of thimb, when that happens, try to buy cheap but let the guy who drafted him own the risk of him continuing to exceed expectations. Kudos to his owners if he continues to perform.
Sure. It's just an uphill battle. Just like it was for those guys. When cruz blew up, it aligned with nicks falling off. When obj blew up, it aligned with cruz getting hurt. They each played well and had a qb who had made elite wr1s before. Obj was drafted in the top ten picks. Hill and cruz weren't.Haven't Maclin, D. Jax, T. Owens, K. Curtis all had big years under Reid?
2/3 are the same thing and Maclin had a nice year last year and was a borderline wr1 in fantasy
Just off the top of my head didn't Cruz, OBJ, D. Johnson, MJD and I am sure others all have rookie/1st years with a ton of big plays and still come back and have very productive years and sometimes elite fantasy production?
I'm not sure I can agree with how you define "floor", or at least how you're applying it here.Its important that you separate hype from performance... Tavon Austin and Cordarelle Patterson both have had major hype from the start... they were both top three rookie picks in dynasty drafts... and they disappointed because the performance never lived up to the hype. Any comparison to them is pejorative as a result.
However, Tyreek Hill is performance before the hype. Unlike Austin or Patterson, where coaches tried to force a way to use them because of the draft pick investment, Hill earned his increased use by objective positive performance. With Patterson & Austin, coaches quickly realized that building offenses around gimmick players just doesn't provide wins. So as the offenses inevitably revert back to more traditional schemes, their opportunities (and value) dwindle.
Reid did not build an offense around Hill.... no, Hill performed in an offense that already existed, albeit with a different playcalling pattern. All he needed was the opportunity caused by Maclin's injury to showcase his value.
Thus, unlike Tavon Austin, Tyreek Hill does not have the same low reversionary floor.
I think his comparably high floor puts Tyreek Hill's value somewhere between the 14th-16th pick in the upcoming draft all by itself. Then I believe even a conservative view of his ceiling raises that value to the second half of the first round (1.7-1.12)
Since I always hedge my bets when trading, I would not trade him for anything less than 1.6 and I would happily give any pick after 1.10 to acquire him.

Not to be annoying, but obj was pick 12. I know because my team took Ebron at 10.......but who knew that we would lose suh and megatron.Sure. It's just an uphill battle.

Maybe maclin never returns to form and hill is the guy. Maybe hill is as good or better than maclin. Maybe he keeps breaking big plays and defenses can't or choose not to take him out of the game. Things could work out for him. I just would price him as "could work out" instead of "will".
The trade is much closer when you look at it as Dalvin Cook as opposed to simply a draft pick. Depending on RB depth, I could see this trade being made.Evans in a landslide
As we get closer to the draft, this trade might not even be made from the Thomas 1.02 side. Its close value.The trade is much closer when you look at it as Dalvin Cook as opposed to simply a draft pick. Depending on RB depth, I could see this trade being made.
I don't agree. It shouldn't matter if you look at it as a draft pick or a certain player. They are technically the same value. Yeah Cook is a good prospect but he's still that, a prospect. I don't view him or Fournette on the level that Zeke or Gurley were at coming out to provide recent examples. Evans is a top5 dynasty asset whose the undisputed #1 target on his team, and what was he top3 in targets the past 2 years? Jameis loves looking his way and he comes down with a lot of those. If you changed that trade from Evans to say OBJ, you'd be saying landslide too.The trade is much closer when you look at it as Dalvin Cook as opposed to simply a draft pick. Depending on RB depth, I could see this trade being made.
