****OFFICIAL DYNASTY TRADES**** (24 Viewers)

I thought this was crazy in a 1 QB league but it is 6 point passing TDs and the team getting Dak had too many picks for his taxi squad so needed to consolidate:

Dak Prescott

for

Matt Ryan

2.7

3.7

2021 2nd (most likely mid-late)
I like the trade for both teams. I have no qualms whatsoever in moving valuable young QBs that aren't named Mahomes or Jackson in 1QB leagues. I have done really well flipping QBs over the years that I consider it a cornerstone of my franchise strategy. My preference is usually to make it part of a package for a bigger player, but getting extra picks in this draft makes all kinds of sense to me. Conversely, consolidating and upgrading always makes sense as well. Win win.

Dalvon Cook and Metcalf

Trades like this make me hate dynasty. If you don’t know what you’re doing, ask someone before giving players away. Fortunately it doesn’t happen often anymore because I got rid of my bad leagues.

Wrong thread

 
12 team PPR dynasty

Leveon Bell

For

2021 1st (probable playoff team, I say pick in the 8-10 range)
If you are a team that really can't compete for a title or if you simply have good RB depth it makes a ton of sense cashing out for a #1 as he is now 28 and had a 3.2 YC average last year....if you are real close grabbing Bell and having a year to get back a #1 makes sense but I would pursue other options before I would settle on Bell.

The team trading away Bell has the best talent in the league and would been favorite to win the title.

I traded Bell away.  I have a good team and would make the playoffs without him.  Sometimes future picks are good ammo at the trade deadline.

Or maybe I trade a couple more vets for a mini rebuild to be stronger next year and for more years. 

I am also of the belief that there is a realistic possibility that this season does not even happen (or finish) due to Covid.  How high of a chance who knows, but a chance.

Imagine a high profile players gets it and dies.  Or a team has 20 cases.....who knows what they do.

I love the move...if he starts off slow he will have almost no value and definitely nothing close to a #1...even if he is good next year he is 28 and trending in a bad direction...if you have the depth this is an easy one to make....you could move that #1 right now for something far more valuable, especially if you combine it with something else.

 
12 Team PPR 1 qb 
Brady



Gardner 
Since it is one QB I will go with Brady and hope everything clicks in Tampa and he has a big year...if it were two QB Minshew would be a little more intriguing but in a one QB league I don't see Minshew ever having much value.

 
I'm taking Gardner here easy. 
Why? In a 12 team 1 QB, QB1 production is easy to come by. It's only elite seasons that matter. A chance at even 1 elite Brady season is worth more than 10 middling Minshew seasons (assuming he even becomes a consistent starter and stays one).

Nothing about Minshew looked studly to me. He screams roster clogger to me because you'd never want to cut him as a young starter and QB deals are rare in that format.

Happened a few days ago but saw a little chatter here about the 1.08.

0.5 PPR 6 pt all TDs - Start 1 QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1TE, 1 flex (RB, WR, or TE), 1DEF, and 1K

Traded 

1.08 , 2.08, and Jalen Hurd

Received

2.01, 2.05, and 2.06

We haven't drafted yet.

I think Brady is done and I'm high on Minshew. 

 
I'm not sure I like this deal until 1.08 is on the clock. 

According to Mizelle, this would be:

Reagor, Zach Moss, Hurd

for 

Aiyuk, Pittman, Edwards 

Not a bad deal and one I would make myself. But... in my most recent draft 1.08 was CeeDee Lamb... And in that case I would absolutely not do this trade. 
Interesting- Pittman has gone round 1 in all three of my drafts so far.

 
I think Brady is done and I'm high on Minshew. 
Fair enough. I'm of the mind that Brady has had nothing but Edelman and White for a couple years now and is actually in a much better situation for fantasy success and still has "it". The Patriots were basically playing small ball and defense to win in recent years, even more than they always have, and while Brady's arm isn't what it was he's not final season Peyton Manning. Even Peyton post-neck injury throwing ducks had one huge year due to all the weapons they put around him. Then his arm really deteriorated even more. Brady's arm is in better shape than Peyton's was in his record-breaking DEN season, and Brady's put up video game numbers before when he had the weapons, he now has an aggressive ballsy HC, and wants to show the world he wasn't a product of Belichick. I'm not prepared to fade him for a guy like freaking Minshew.

This is terrible.  I know people are draft happy right now but dang.  Hopefully the guy learns but ya, I wouldn't want to see that in one of my leagues.

 
I would lean Brady in the trade for the reasons mentioned, just playing the upside play, but I'm not sure why people are treating Minshew like he has zero upside.

He was a gunslinger in college and he just put up a top 15 all time rookie QB season.  And he runs a decent amount to boot, which is obviously very important in fantasy.  He put up a better rookie year than Baker and people couldn't trip over themselves fast enough to go grab Baker for his upside.

This reminds me a lot of people thinking guys like Dak and Wilson had limited fantasy upside despite good rookie years because they weren't drafted highly.

Agreed...he was absolutely not done last year...he took a step back from what he was but still had gas in the tank...as a Pats fan watching their O last year was painful...he had only two weapons in Edelman and White...Edelman was hurt for a good part of the year and defenses were easily able to take White out of the game-plan because they did not have to worry about anything else...he lost the glue of the line in Andrews for the whole year and while Wynn was out the LT position was abysmal, Cannon at RT was also subpar...another thing and this is on Brady was his attitude (which I have a hard time even writing)...he is a perfectionist and there was no doubt what he was surrounded with last year effected him, you could see it in his body language...as much as I do not want to see him in another uniform it was the right move for he and the Pats...I think you will see him really re-invigorated this year and have the potential for a very big year if (and it's a big if) he can get right on the same page with Arians, Godwin and Evans...that's gonna be real interesting because when he is not on the same page with someone things can head south very quickly...as for Minshew he showed a lot last year but I question if he will ever be the type of QB you would really want to start in a one QB league (and if Jax is bad which they should be they could also land Lawrence or Fields), I would much rather roll the dice of Brady having the type of year Manning had in his first year with Denver because that could help you win a title.

Yeah I've been blown away by the unreasonable expectations people seem to be have on rookie QBs sometimes.

Behind a horrible OL that should be better and he has a young top 10 WR in Chark.

I've had debates with people and over time have changed my opinion on how I value a future first in a startup.  I used to put the value somewhere around round 8-9 of a startup, pushed that value up to in the 5-6 round range. Opinions on that can differ but I'm sure we can all agree that round 14/15 and/or Hunter Renfrow are not worth a future first.

 
12 Team Dynasty - PPR, TE premium.  Just went down 1 day before start of draft...  Involved in league...and trade.

My Team:  gave up Darrell Henderson, Diontae Johnson
Team B:  gave up 1.06, 2.06, Vance McDonald, Brian Hill...   Team B had to include 2 players to create roster space. 

Draft just started this morning...  CEH, Taylor, Dobbins, Lamb were first 4 picks...  So, I am either going to get Swift or Akers.  Kind of need a back here.  I lost in the finals last year.  Have Cook, Conner, Bell, Scott and Hill as RBs...  Hopkins, DJ Moore, Landry, Parker, Jeffery, Perriman as my WRs

I'll take the Henderson/Diontae side. Henderson is undervalued right now and nobody really sees the storm Diontae is getting ready to unleash on the league.......

I like Diontae but not over one of those RB's or even Jeudy and I for sure prefer the 2.6 over Henderson so well done.

 
not involved, 12 team PPR 

Team A gave up: Darnold, Sam NYJ QB; Williams, Tyrell LVR WR; Hockenson, T.J. DET TE; Year 2020 Draft Pick 1.03

Team B gave up: Conner, James PIT RB; Singletary, Devin BUF RB; Slayton, Darius NYG WR; Cook, Jared NOS TE

I would project Lamb going 1.08 in my league as well actually.

The owner of the 1.05 and 1.06 as well as the owner of the 1.07 are both Vikings' fans so Jefferson will most likely go ahead of Lamb in my league. Also, teams tend to favor RBs over WRs in my league so I imagine Dobbins and probably Swift and Akers will go ahead of Lamb as well though not a complete lock. The owners of the 1.05 through 1.07 picks are definitely stronger right now at WR then RB.  I guess Lamb could go ahead of Jeudy in my league.

Ultimately, I feel better about hitting on the 2.01 or 2.05 then I do the 1.08 or whatever player I cut now by doing this deal.

Then I was able to upgrade my 2.08 to 2.06 by trading away a player I most likely would have cut.

Looks like a depth move for Team B which I am not a huge fan of since the biggest piece in this deal is the 1.3 and if that hits and Hockenson turns into a legit top 10 TE they could really regret this...Connor is a nice guy to own but it is tough to put a Dynasty value on him...I really like Singletary but not sure he will be put into a position to be more than just solid fantasy-wise...Slayton is very intriguing but my guess is most owners who have him have about four other WRs on their roster they like better...Cook helps short-term but he is 33...this is not an horrible deal (especially if you are very high on Slayton) but I don't see the need to risk getting a CEH, Dobbins or Taylor and watch them blow up for what you are getting back here...if Moss is legit and really dings Singletary's value this could look real bad.

It's a superflex league, but Pittman just went at the 17th pick in my rookie draft.  3 QBs ahead of him, so maybe it would be 14 in a non-SF?  I'm not sure where Burrow/Tua fall in 1 QB leagues.

I got a FFPC league where Pittman made it to 18 but that league let's WR's fall every year.

I'd take the picks but I do think Henderson and Johnson are being undervalued right now.

 
PPR w/contracts & salary cap.  People are not pleased

1.02, 1.06

Saquon Barkley, Derek Carr (dumping a really bad contract with Carr)

I have no idea how valuable a contract is in these leagues as I've never played.  I'd say it is bad but if the contract thing is really bad and affects you big time, then I'd say it isn't terrible as Carr is almost unplayable so dead weight.

 
Carr was about 16% of the guy's total cap, but he only had 1 year left and could have been cut for a 50% penalty.  So the true savings is only about 8% of the cap for one year.
