****OFFICIAL DYNASTY TRADES**** (42 Viewers)

Sometimes people want picks. 1 of the teams traded away last year their 1st through 5th round picks so he wanted to get more picks he was the one to trade for 2.09 and 2.10.
The guy who traded his 1st for 2.04 had already traded his 1st last year so he had no 1st.
Funny how in some leagues you get these trades and I look back in another one of mine I tried to stock up for 2023 picks getting as many as I could to try and get Bijan.
They ended up being "bad" trades for the most part as I ended up with picks 6,7,9,10,12,14 from several trades.
I had to give picks 9 and 19 from the 2022 draft to get a 2023 1st. That pick ended up being pick 7. I would have taken Jameson and R White at 9 and 19.
The guy kept saying the 2022 class sucked and the 2023 was great so he couldn't give up his 1st for pick 9 straight up and needed more.
I also traded away Aiyuk and ended up with picks 12 and 14 from that deal and drafted Spears and Bigsby that one makes me sick every time I think about it.
Another was I traded DeVonta Smith for what ended up as 1.06 (took Flowers) not as bad as the other trades but still rather have Smith.
So my quest for Bijan ended up feeling like I destroyed my team and I came close to getting him the 2 worst teams in the league I owned their picks but both finished on winning streaks to make the playoffs. I would had picks 1 and 4 from them if either last 2 games. Instead both won and I ended up with 6 and 9 from them.

Same league I had owned picks 8 and 12 and I traded from for 4 and 19 a month ago. I ended up with Bowers (TE Premium)
Had I kept them I could dealt 8 for a ton (or taken Worthy) and traded 12 for a future 1st.
I still like Bowers but who knew.
If I look back to last year though we had a trade that seemed crazy at the time and way even worse now.
A guy traded his 2025 1st and 2.01 for 1.06 took LB Jack Campbell and hopefully for him he will get a lot better because his 2024 1st was pick 1.04 and not to mention that 2.01 he traded last year could been any number of guys (Flowers, Achane, ect if he picked right)

Did not see a draft this year in this format that a player excited me enough to not give up 1.12 for a future first.
Before my drafts, which were all back in May, I tried hard giving up two 1.11's in two different leagues for future first. One one those leagues I was selective in which teams I asked and ended up just packaging 8/11 for 4 after the NFL draft. The other league I was not selective, shotgunned the 1.11 to the entire league for their future first, no one would give it.
I guess what I'm trying to say is I did not view the 1.12 as that nice of an asset this year, not in format I don't want to spend a first on a QB.

That’s fair

And yet someone trades their future 1st plus 5.10 to get the 2.04 before this draft began. It only takes 1 (I guess in my league you had 2 or 3).

Massive tier drop into a very big, but lessor tier after the first 10 picks this year in single QB (or pick 11 depending on how people see Caleb.) Nearly everyone in my leagues wanted to move out or move back at that point in drafts

Agreed. I think the trade favors the guy getting MHJr. KeepTradeCut has it close to even and I think it probably needs at least a 2nd but would try to pull a 1st.

Would anyone trade Kittle for pick 3.03? I have LaPorta and Kmet as well. So I am good at TE. But everyone knows that and will not pay any more for Kittle(would like to get a 2nd rd pick). I think I'll just keep him(cut down day coming soon).
Blick
Footballguy
Only if I was in the draft and someone was there that I had to have. Is there anyone else you can cut?
InDitkaWeTrust
Footballguy
Any chance you can get a future 2nd (even a '26)? At this point, he's not doing you much good at all on the bench unless both LaPorta and Kmet get injured (unlikely).

Footballguy
Planning to cut Diontae Johnson or maybe Tua. Am trying to either for a pick, but no one wants them for a 3rd or 4th rd pick. Trading is nearly impossible in this league.

Seems fair imo. Njoku is objectively worth a bit more but I’m with you on Jameson.
-OZ-
Footballguy
Pretty sure I’d be trading all my picks if that’s the standard there.
-OZ-
Footballguy
I think I’d prefer either player to mid to late firsts, random changes that just a bit.
Blick
Footballguy
Agree with -OZ- here. With such short benches, it seems you need to overpay to continue to tier up. I guess I decide which position is easiest to obtain in a "break glass in case of emergency" situation. If its QB, then cut Tua.
steelcityman
Footballguy
Yeah, they cut the benches pre draft 2 more spots, so we only take 14 into the draft. But dont have to keep K or Def at least. Then draft 10 rds. Most every team is going to cut someone pretty good.

Seems like a flawed system - why would a league member trade when the post draft gravy train is coming and all these players are going to become free agents? I would start tossing picks around and acquiring bonafide guys for picks, unless I am misunderstanding.

we cut down to 14 this weekend, draft is next weekend, 10 rounds, rookie/FA draft.
I hold value in the first 4 rounds. after that, i'd trade all my remaining picks for anything.
Although I did get Puca last year in round 10. So, you never know!

Got it. So, basically - you are cutting players now to supplement the rookie draft with some veterans and could very well end in you "drafting" your own guys again? The rosters have to be a continuous carousel with some mainstays and then a lot of the same names thrown back into the rookie draft? I feel like this would hinder trading but probably makes the draft more fun.
I would hold Kittle and try trading on the clock or to mid-season for a late push. It doesn't seem you have a lot of time to wait on a guy due to roster constraints - so, trading him for a Trey Benson, Brock Corum seems feasible? You'll likely have to see how the chips fall with cutdowns because Tua has little standalone value with the current QB class... maybe you could pair Tua and Kittle for a 2nd or late 1st?

16 team SF PPR TEP IDP
Win-now roster, my only RB we’re RS, Warren, Chuba, & AJD
I gave: Brissett + 2026 2nd (hopefully late)
I rec’d: Chase Brown
I’m not a huge believer in Moss, and I think Brown will at least be flex-worthy as the receiving back in CIN. Hopefully I’m not wrong. lol

Interesting deal. I might rather have JT, but I could see selling JT for that.
I don't think your LB's are that bad. Lot's of injury risk for sure but if they stay healthy this could be a great IDP position for you. I also don't think I would cut Baker with his new home in Seattle. He should be a solid starter for IDP purposes in that role.

In SF I’ll take brisket and the pick but understand the logic.
Brown>Moss for me but glad most people are not seeing it that way.
I'd be wanting to shed Taylor in next year or two due to age/wear so I'd easily take the haul.
No, Kittle is just to good and if ever they ever need him more has a whole other gear he can level up to for fantasy purposes, even if he is about to turn 31.
Kmet had a good season but is still just a JAG to me and now one who I think has going from #2 in the pecking order to #4 or #5. I'd get what I could for him, keep Kittle.

Njoku.
Understand the splits with Watson but that can change, more to the point I'd rather gamble on that changing then thinking Jameson will earn enough of a target share to be someone you can rely on. Njoku just has far more difference making potential, would not have been sweating about having zero dynasty shares of Jameson.

That’s how I’m seeing it too.
Makes me nervous that I’m wrong, but I loved what I saw out of Brown down the stretch last year.
Feels downright affordable, especially since Brissett was expendable. Helped that i dealt him to the Maye owner.
Also helps that I had 2x 2026 2nds.

I've been trying to sell Taylor with no luck. I started with offers to tier down to players like Mixon, Jacobs, White, etc. and a 2025 1st. No luck. Then I tried 1 for 2s like Taylor for Montogomery/Nico. No luck. So based on my personal experience, this is a very nice trade for you.
Blick
Footballguy
If Brissett is expendable, this is a nice deal for you. The 2026 is way out there. Might as well put points on your team now. And regardless if you have Brown over Moss or not (I do), a Moss injury gives you a Top 10 back.
Hot Sauce Guy
Footballguy
I have Herbert, JJM+Darnold
Brissett is extremely likely to become the backup sooner than later.
Blick
Footballguy
Your set. I actually like Darnold quite a bit.
Feel great about Brown having at minimum a reliable role with potential for big upside. That article that dropped about a week ago detailing the work he's putting in at receiving got me extra jacked, even if it is puff piece season, it's exactly what you want to hear in conjunction with the way's they keep saying they want to utilize him. He's one of those players who likely does not need a big role to put up at least usable fantasy production because he's going to catch passes and big goal they have with him is explosive plays so even if Moss is more then I think he is I still think Brown will range from usable to high upside. I'll leave it at that and not get into why I'm not as high on Moss as many are at risk of derailing this into a Moss vs Brown debate.
I don't play SF so held off on commenting about value of Brisset in that format and just made my remark on value of Brown vs Moss. But a stationary non-running QB on a team in discussion for combo of worst OL/WR's in the league who has a starting job that should probably be measured in weeks and not months just does not seem like someone of much value to me even. Understand ANY starting QB has value in this format, but that's the best thing he's got going for him and that won't be long. But all that being said I'm not in my wheelhouse discussing QB value in SF in relation to non-QB assets.
Hot Sauce Guy
Footballguy
Read the same article - it came off less of a puff piece and more just quoting a coach who knows a thing or two and was gushing about him looking like a WR out there.
And Moss isn’t a great receiver. So yeah - without turning this topic into a moss vs brown debate, I agree.
Worth much more to the Maye shareholder.
I couldn’t get a nibble otherwise even in a 16 team SF.

I took over an orphan a few years ago that had no assets and no 1/2 round rookie picks the first 2 years.
Last year I crawled my way to mediocrity, i was in the playoff hunt to the final game, which I lost.
1qb, deep benches, ppr
Traded away
Dak Prescott
Received
Tank dell
Traded away
Devon achane
Received
Christian Watson
The first trade was to get younger, the 2nd trade was because I always trade any top 15 RB for a wr if I am not a strong contender.

This is an odd statement. I don't mind this approach but not just to do it (which is what this sounds like). I don't think Achane for Watson is a quality move and was done "becasue I always trade any top 15 RB for a wr"
MTskibum
Footballguy
To be honest i have been trying to dump Achane. I know everyone here is high on him, but i wanted rid of him in dynasty.
He had all his stats in a couple blowout wins, when the game was on the line, including the playoffs, he was no where to be seen. I don't think the coaching staff is that high on him.
Plus, WR's have a much longer career than RB's in general, any time i can trade a RB for a WR i take it.
