I like this trade. It's the kind of trade that could yield huge returns, for a WR you likely don't start. I'm still a JStew believer, and the number of RBs that have the potential to put up RB1 numbers that you could get for Hilton straight up is probably just Jstew.
See, I made the trade because I want to win now, but I thought that's where the league would lean as well, towards Kaep. It's overwhelmingly been called a big win for the Manning side.
I like the Peyton side also. Big move to win this year, and probably as long as Peyton plays. Don't know how long that will be, but I imagine it is long enough to figure out a transition plan for when he retires.
Nice trade. I offered pretty much the same offer (Julius + 2 2014 1sts for Graham) and was told I wasn't really close.
For some reason, this one struck me as very odd. Is it a TE's only league or something?
How is that an overpay? Manuel is little more than a throw-in when you're talking about a 12 team league.
I've been trying to acquire him and his owner won't budge. I'd have to go at least a 1st to get him.
If I were you I'd happily move on. And this has nothing to do with whether I like Manuel or not to develop into a good QB--I actually do. He's just not worth that in a 12 teamer.
He's played well already as a rookie and his rushing ability gives him the potential of being a top FF QB. There's not many QB's who have a genuine shot at being top 5 and Manuel is one of them.
He can run, but he's not a dynamic rusher. He's more Andrew Luck than Cam Newton, in that regard. It's not a part of his game I'd want to rely on. There are way too many startable QB options in a 12 team league to realistically value him so highly. It makes no sense.
Exactly. There are too many startable options in a 12 team league for a guy like Ryan or Romo to have a ton of value, nevermind E.J. Manuel.
I sold R. White/A. Bradshaw/D. Smith (Bal-LB) for Matthews/'14 1st (should be mid-1st) FWIW. 16-team PPR / IDP
I actually like the Vereen/Woods side better. Probably depends more on your perception of Woods than the other players.
I'm assuming the guy selling Wilson already has another very strong QB option, and just added Johnson to a strong lineup? Its sour grapes from the other competitors in your league, the trade's fine. Two months ago people were talking about Wilson as the next Brees, but mobile, and a possible top 5 dynasty QB. Many still are, because eventually the Seahawks will loose the reigns a bit and let him sling it around.
That's about what I figured. So he's going all in to win and other owners don't like it.
Exactly. I don't know what is vetoable about that and even without knowing the teams I wouldn't be sure who got the better end of it.
Yeah so do I, though I do like Reed.
No it is not a te only league. It is a ppr idp league. I inquired if he was willing to trade Graham and told him I would include thomas or cook as part of a package deal. He asked for the 2 te's and a pick. I attempted to keep cook and sub in chris givens, or michael floyd. He said no, but offered up Allen as part of the deal. I wasn't going to argue, all i wanted was graham and didn't want the trade to stall out over petty stuff. And that sir is the rest of the story.
The torn ACL is news to me. I know he had a sprained MCL back in December of 2011 that they initially feared might be a torn ACL. In regards to the Forte/Gordon for TRich trade, I like the Forte/Gordon side for a contender. I think that side is decent for a non-contender as well, provided they flip Forte to a contender for a nice haul.
I used the 1.08 pick on Hill as a rookie so I like this trade. He's already shown what he's capable of and I think that's a cheap price.
makes me sad being a Mathews fan that he is less valuable than a good backup RB. Curious how your RB's look now that you've gotten rid of 2 of them. Especially in a start 4 league.
If Percy comes back close to what he should be, he's the type of player that could win the championship in this league. Risky for sure.ETA: the team acquiring Percy is the only undefeated team in the league.
