****OFFICIAL DYNASTY TRADES**** (16 Viewers)

I like Henry, as an NFL player, but I think he’ll be up and down from week to week. He should finish with similar stats to Kupp, but Kupp has a higher weekly floor.
At this point, I’m going to let Henry establish himself as a weekly fantasy starter, and then look to acquire. It might be too late at that point, but I’m okay with that. Like you, I think he’s a better NFL player than PPR fantasy asset.

The 1.07 got a big boost on draft night. Worst case, you’re looking at Freeman or Johnson, and I’d take both over Henry. 

 
12 tm, ppr

gave: DT, 3.01, 3.08

got: R. Freeman (1.10)

I like Freeman more than most and am betting that he's worth more than DT this time next year. It's fair for both, IMO

 
The 4 quarters for a dollar trades seldom work out for the team getting the quarters 
I get everyone likes the Zeke side. I agree.

But I also don't understand this sentiment. Melvin Gordon is hardly a quarter.  The market seems to be down on him, but he's only just turned 25 and coming off an almost 300 point season who should continue getting bell-cow work. 18 PPG last year, 20 PPG the year before.

He's still a top 25 dynasty asset going in the 2nd round of most startups. So while there's a gap between Zeke and him, I do believe the 1.7, especially this year, has enough potential to maybe bridge that gap. 

Maybe it's just me.

I think most people (myself included) don't think Gordon is all that good and he makes his living with volume. Zeke is actually good.

I understand that.  That still doesn't mean Gordon is a "quarter". 

Also, just a fun exercise.  These are both guys' 2nd season in the NFL (Zeke this past year and Gordon the year before).  Which is which?  Which is better?  Difference in O-line in Dallas and San Diego?

Player X:  254 carries for 997 yards and 10 TDs (3.9 ypc).  41 catches for 419 yards and 2 TDs (10.2 ypr)

Player Y:  242 carries for 983 yards and 7 TDs (4.0 ypc).  26 catches for 269 yards and 2 TDs (10.3 ypr)

Don't worry, I know why some people are down on Gordon.  And yes, I know Zeke is the better RB (and better fantasy value).  But Gordon has yet another year where he's likely to get a ton of carries and catches and is likely to keep scoring a ton of points for his fantasy teams.  I just think you can do much worse than 25 yo RBs that are going to get the volume and catches that he's going to get and it's still worth a pretty penny.  Most rankings I've seen still have him in the top 20.  And perhaps he's just being dismissed a little too much by some.  It'll be interesting to see what happens if he actually puts up an efficient production year.

There's a difference between having one inefficient season next to one very efficient season, and having 3 straight inefficient seasons with nothing better to speak of.

Zeke by a lot.
2 Zeke trades from my FFPC league were

1st was Zeke, Fuller, Ivory for McCaffrey, Funchess, Crowell. (This trade was in 2017 when Zeke was suspended)

Then this year the guy flipped Zeke in a 2nd trade for Mixon, Cooks and 1.05

Wow that 1st trade is awful, even while Zeke was out.

2 different leagues, both 12 team ppr

gave up Bryant, Martavis OAK WR;Nelson, Jordy OAK WR

received Funchess, Devin CAR WR

Gave up 2.03; 2.10,  3.03

Received Baldwin, Doug SEA WR;Tate, Golden DET WR

 
20 team PPR TE 1.25 bestball 11 starters 1Q 1-3RB 3-5WR 1-3TE K D 2 copies of each player 3rd year of a 5th year jackpot and then disband.

Each year bottom two finishers are eliminated and their rosters MADE AVAILABLE DURING ROOKIE/FA DRAFT. We started with 24 teams. Players available include Evans, Juju, Mike Williams, D Thomas, Tate, Godwin, Parker, Cobb, Lockett, Dez, Dalvin Cook, Mixon, McCaffery, McKinnon, Ajayi. Some good QBs and TEs, too. 

I gave Kareem Hunt, Doug Baldwin

I got Amari Cooper, Trent Taylor, 1.17, 2.17

So that 1.17 should be something similar to 1.4 or 1.5. The top vets won't be there but one of the top 6 RBs will. I think 2.17 should yield a Cobb/Olsen/Tate level vet or maybe Kerryon Johnson/Freeman if I get lucky. There will be a ton of vets picked. I own the 1.04/2.04/3.04 as well. I'm basically loaded everywhere except RB, which I plan to change during this draft. It will be hard not to take Juju if he is there at 1.04. I already have the other copy of Evans. Also trying to move to 1.01/1.02 to get Barkley if possible.

That is one heck of a cool idea for a league.
