12 team IDP PPR dynasty league

Team a gave Julio Jones

Team B gave Josh Gordon, Paul Posluskny, 5th round rookie pick

Other league, same format:

Team A gave: Terrance Williams, Brent Celek

Team B gave: Jermichael Finley, 3rd round rookie pick
Any thoughts on these? I am A in both.
I like the the first one, assuming the IDP scoring isn't crazy.

And turning Williams into Finley and a 3rd is solid too.

 
You guys are also overlooking that the pick isn't 1.02 -- it looks like 1.02 now. It's bad process to get too specific when valuing a future pick 9 times out of 10. If that pick ends up 1.05 or 1.06 we're talking about a very different value proposition. "Probably top half" is about as specific as it's smart to bank on in assessing trade value.
True. Only those in the league can really make that call. I wouldn't be a fan if the pick ended up 1.05 or 1.06.

 
12 team PPR.

Team A gave up:
Rice, Ray BAL RB
Finley, Jermichael GBP TE

Team B gave up:
Johnson, Calvin DET WR
Williams, Terrance DAL WR

 
Top 3-4 picks are gold. Yeah, there are lots of landmines there, but having those picks is how you get Julio, Green, Calvin, Thomas, Blackmon, etc. in the first place.
Don't see those next year though. Even if you cash out for someone great, I still don't like it and think you lost a lot of value.
Mike Evans, Watkins, Seastrunk...

I'll defer to others but those all seem like Floyd level prospects not Julio, Green. JMO.

 
10 team 1 qb/2rb/3wr/1te/1flex(any)/idp

Team A trades:

Jorden Reed (6 years)

2014 1st (likely top 4)

2014 1st (borderline playoff team, just lost Cobb, could go either way)

Team B trades:

Gronk (3 years)

Team A still has their own 1st. Also has Julius Thomas/Fleener at TE. Could flex Thomas when/if Gronk returns.

Team B is 1 - 5. Has their own 1st still , as well as just getting 2 more. Current lineup consists of Kaepernick/Ridley/Spiller/Cruz/Harvin/Wallace/Vincent Brown. I like Team B's odds of competing next few years, as I'm a huge Reed fan.
Curious about thoughts on this one. I wasn't involved but thought it was an interesting trade.

 
12 team league where I'm 5-2 after 6 weeks (week 3 is a double game week so everyone plays everyone plus 2 games in the division in the regular season). Its a PPR, start 1 QB 1 RB 3 WR 1 TE 1 DEF 1 K 1 Flex RB/WR

My roster before tonight:

QB: Cutler/Stafford/Wilson/Manuel

RB: McCoy/B. Brown/Bernard/Lamar Miller/D Thomas/McGahee

WR: CJ/Amendola/Mike Will Tampa/Jennings/Pettis/L. Moore

TE: Jimmy G/Bennett/Fleener

DEF: Denver

K: Vinatieri

Trade one:

Gave: Coby Fleener

Received: Marques Colston

Trade two:

Gave: my 2014 2nd (should be late in the 9-12 range)

Received: Stevie Johnson

I feel like I'm contending this year and I didn't give up much in the grand scheme of things to get two very useful pieces (especially as CJ, Mike Williams, L Moore and Amendola are dinged up, and I know Stevie now adds to that)

I also didn't realise 'til I checked that Stevie is only 27 :o

I dropped Pettis after the 2nd trade, I still see value in Lance Moore!
Any thoughts on these two deals? =)

I think it's a win for the Gronk side, Reed is starting to look good but if Gronk comes back 100% and plays the next 5 years it's a steal but that's the crux of the trade. Can come back 100% and even if he does how long will he last? I can understand why but it's difficult to move a top 3 guy at any position without any similar level of player coming back. Yes the picks could become that but they are maybes but so is Gronk's health now and going forward.

In conclusion I probably take the Gronk side but fully understand both sides of the deal, an interesting one for sure =)

Might prefer Fleener to Colston at this point just because Colston seems like he might finally be hitting the wall.

I like the Stevie deal though. I wouldn't give up a 1st round pick for him in a standard league, but for a 2nd he's good value. He could have 2-3 useful seasons left and that's more than you'd probably get from a random 2nd round rookie.

 
12 team ppr QRRWWTFKD

Worked out a huge deal. Probably lost the trade as of values for right now, but could win huge in a few years. Both teams are 3-3, I was tied in my division but didn't feel like I had the stable of RB's to win a playoff game.

Gave: Terrelle Pryor, Ryan Mathews, Daryl Richardson, A.J. Green, Jordan Cameron

Received: Alex Smith, Trent Richardson, James Starks, Alshon Jeffrey, Rob Gronkowski, '14 1st (guessing 1.08-1.12)

Core is currently

Luck, Smith, Big Ben

TRich, DMC, DWill

BMarsh, Harvin, Alshon, Torrey Smith, Denarius, Broyles, Hunter

Gronk, Fleener, Finley

Also trying to work out some deal with BMarsh for Cobb and play for a run next year.

I'm high on Alshon, even before the back to back games he put together as I acquired him in three leagues during the offseason, but this deal definitely hinges on whether TRich gets it going in Indy and Gronk not getting reinjured.

Also saw in a 12 team ppr QRRWWWTKF

Team A gives: Jarrett Boykin

Team B gives: Anquan Boldin

Team B has Randall Cobb and was tired of Q's inconsistency.

Depends how your league does the picks.

One league I am in I can guess the top 6 within 1 pretty easy, but some have losers bracket playoffs, which makes it very hard.

 
Team A gave:

Trent Richardson

Percy Harvin

Bryce Brown

Khiry Robinson

2015 3rd

Team B gave:

Arian Foster

Brandon Marshall

Daryl Richardson

Jerome Simpson

2015 2nd

A is a prospective contender decimated by injury. B has been punching above its weight but probably needed to rebuild.

EDIT: 12 team 0.5 PPR QRRWWD with a RB/WR flex and a WR/TE flex

Traded: Brady, Cobb, Roddy

Received: Brees, Colston, Miles Austin

Made a desperation move for this year. Brady has been losing every week for me and I got tired of it. I hate to mortgage the future for a shot at the championship, but after 12 years in a league and falling just a little short on luck every year, I am tired of waiting. Just hoping I can move colston and Austin for picks or young players. That may be a daunting task though at the rate they are playing.

This was pretty much my take on it. I think the Gronk owner likely got a bit tired of waiting and moved him for what he saw as a top 10 TE going forward and a couple of mid to high picks. Both could end up top 4 since the team that was 4-2 just lost one of his best WR and is going to be trotting out 3 of Torrey Smith/Djax/Sidney Rice/Britt/Ford/Roberts.

I can see it from both sides, but would still likely lean Gronk.

Honestly, I don't like it. You're selling low on all 3 players.

 
Sorry for double dipping, but can I get any opinions if one side is "taking it on the chin" in this trade:

Team A (contending) - gets Cam Newton, Dem. Thomas

Team B (playing for next year) - gets Pryor, Julio, Zac Stacy, early 1st (likely 1.02-1.03)

Traded MJD for Chistine Michael in a deep keeper. 0-6. MJD would be $41 to keep (Michael $15).

Without MJD coming off a decent week and Michael racking up another DNP, I probably couldn't have gotten it done.

Hated to do it. I've had MJD in that league since taking him in the 14th round as a rookie. He had to go for any young asset I could get though.

Great trade for you IMO.

I would never have given up Michael for MJD

 
He definitely didn't want, but the format is also a factor.

It's not really a dynasty. Just a deep keeper. 12 teams, 18-man rosters. Keep everyone you want with auction costs going up $5/season.

In this format, it's awfully hard to stash a guy for very long, if he's not fairly close to paying off. Doable, but there's just not quite enough space to play for too far into the future very often.

Had it just been TRich/Harvin for Foster/Marshall I don't think it's too bad but I hate that he gave up Brown and Robinson.

Really, everyone involved other than Brees might be a buy-low right now. I'd take the Cobb side still

Was offered Julius Thomas for my 2014 1st, I accepted with the quickness. I'm 2-4, non-ppr.
At 2-4, I'm not so sure I would have taken that offer. Only thing worse than losing in a dynasty, is losing without having your first round pick.
Funny thing is it will likely be a mid-round pick, I would take Thomas over any 2014 rookie.

 
12 team PPR can only start 3 WR's max

Gave

Welker

James Jones

6th

for

Garcon

I'm strongish at WR and wanted to get younger/consolidate. 3-3 at this point and think I can manage Welkers absence.

Left with AJG, Blackmon, Nelson, Decker, Garcon, Thompkins, Britt, Wheaton

 
J Thomas and Ingram

for

R Mathews and L Miller

12t ppr
Thomas for me.
Don't see how this is close. long term, JT is the only one I value much.
Six weeks ago one would have laughed at the JT owner for offering this, but now the Julius Thomas owners are laughing at the other side for offering it.

Julius Thomas and it isn't remotely close for me, and I still seem to like Matthews/Miller more than most.

Thomas for me.

I still prefer the Thomas side here, but IMO there are still big time question marks on what Thomas will do post-Manning. I also think Matthews is a decent buy low right now.
this is repeated a lot with JT, Decker, DThomas, etc. but why do we think there's less than 3-4 years left? How much weight are we giving 2017 on?

Because people think that Decker and DT weren't great fantasy options before Manning got there, but they forget in 2010 they were both rookies behind guys like Brandon Lloyd, who led the league in receiving that year, Brandon Marshall and Eddie Royal. In 2011 they had some guy named Tebow throwing them the ball and he didn't even average 150 yards passing a game.

Even if the Broncos go undefeated this year and win the Super Bowl and Manning decides that is a perfect ending to his career these guys will still be good options going forward. They showed flashes of being good in their second years even with Tebow throwing the ball. So even if they get an average quarterback I would say the floor for Decker is a wr3 and DT is a high end wr 2 .

2017? Doubt Manning plays that long -- he's got his ring and will pass Favre in all of the meaningful career categories in 2015 at the latest (2014 if he keeps his current absurd pace). I also think a ring with Denver this year and there's a very strong chance that he retires.

DT is a beast who will be fine with any warm body at QB IMO. Decker is a UFA after this year, and IMO that should absolutely be taken into account re: his value moving forward. Thomas? No idea, but athletically he's not special. Good, yes. But he's not Vernon Davis or Jimmy Graham. Julius feels like good player, perfect storm, ridiculous unsustainable hot streak to me as opposed to a genuine elite guy.

 
I also think a ring with Denver this year and there's a very strong chance that he retires.
This is my concern with the Broncos players. I also think it's possible he retires if he breaks the TD record but doesn't win the SB. At this point anything could happen since he has nothing left to prove and will only keep playing if he really enjoys it (and is healthy).

Yep -- it's a total crapshoot IMO. Which makes it really important to separate the true superstar (DT) from the merely good players (Decker, Julius, Moreno) as far as dynasty value.

That was all great feedback. Thx to everyone that chimed in. The owner that traded Thomas has Graham, so I thought he did well for himself by adding a lot of depth at RB to a team that has what looked like a nice RB crew on paper, but one that certainly hasn't lived up

TRich

Alf

D Wilson

Vereen

and now Mathews and Miller

I have seen this situation happen many times. I team has 2 stud TE's and cant get full value for one in a trade. Considering there still is some question about J Thomas going forward with the Manning questions, crowded receiving corp and what has been an awesome but small sample size, added on to the difficulty of trading a backup TE in a start 1 TE 12T league..... I think getting Mathews and Miller is solid
This is a reason I prefer flex, but if you can only play one TE it makes sense. I had similar issues when I had Peyton and brees (as did the Peyton owner before me). Eventually I got good value for both but it took time.

 
As for Peyton retiring, I just don't see it yet. His competitive spirit is very high and he isn't showing age yet. Of course that could change with an injury.
