The first trade I'd probably rather have the Vereen side but overall seems ok. I might be a lot higher on Vereen but feel like if he can manage to stay healthy, he can easily avg 15 ppg.Team FF trades
Trent Richardson, Shane Vereen and another teams early 2nd
Team A trades
Matt Forte and Reuben Randle
(couldn't get to the trade offer fast enough to accept this one.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Team FF trades
Phillip River and Tony Gonzalez
Team B trades
Brandon Pettigrew and 1st round pick (not theirs and right now 6th pick)
(wanted that 1st round pick in order to deal for a wr .. so this one started the whole process. Team B is a playoff team and needed the upgrade at both qb and te.)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Team FF trades
Reuben Randle and my own 2nd rounder
Team C trades
Marcus Colston and Dennis Pitta
(I wanted to team up Brees and Colston and had intentions of trading Bennett, so needed went after Pitta as a backup after dealing Gonzo. May have lost out on the potential of Randle, but Pitta was a key for the future with PPR te production.)

Team FF trades
MJD, Marcellus Bennet and 1st round pick received above
Team D trades
Desean Jackson
(extremely happy to get younger at wr and Desean has turned a new leaf this year, not just in production, but in attitude. still had thoughts to move VJax to get even younger and stronger)

Team FF trades
Vincent Jackson, Miles Austin, and Marvin Jones
Team E trades
Percy Harvin and Chris Givens
(nice cherry to top off the trades above. wasn't expecting to get two younger wr studs in DJax and PHarvin, and was quite pleased)
Very cheap for luck12 team PPR league, 6 points per passing or rushing TD
Start 1 QB and up to 4 WR
Traded away Marquise Lee, Eli Manning, and Jeff Cumberland
Traded for Andrew Luck, Mark Ingram, and Jermaine Gresham
I had only Andy Dalton, Eli Manning, and Joe Flacco at QB, but was pretty loaded at WR with AJ Green, Dez Bryant, DeSean Jackson, and Vincent Jackson plus some solid depth.
He didn't need Stafford and added a top 15 dynasty WR.By your own post here, the other owner has RGIII, so Glennon becomes a backup. The fact that Smith and Boldin are in the other team's lineup this week is immaterial IMO... his team is out of the playoffs for this year. Will Boldin be a long term starter? No. So a realistic view of the trade for next year and beyond is that it was Glennon (backup) and Smith (starter) for Stafford. Doesn't seem even close to worth it for the other team IMO.

Lattimore's a 4th rounder competing with some pretty talented backs. He might be great, or he might never be the same again. Or he might be the same again, but it might turn out that "as good as he was before the injury" wasn't nearly as good as everyone thought (hence the 4th round draft pick). Lattimore's got a lot of potential, but as they say, potential is just shorthand for "hasn't done anything".Short term, sure. Really don't see Tate as a future stud. Lattimore can be.
Is it the playoff teams first? If so, I like it. The other seems a classic overpay for a better chance to win this year.Two trades in 10 team dynasty (QB/2RB/4WR/1Flex)
The heist:
Team A (playoff team) receives Ben Tate, Jason Witten
Team B (non playoff team) receives Doug Martin, Michael Crabtree
Rebound for team A

Yes, team A is the same playoff bound team in both cases. Won Superbowl last year, had Peterson, Martin, Foster but obviously hit with injuries. I think the Moreno deal was very good for him, the Tate deal....well he better win the Superbowl and even then it just seems like an overpay.Is it the playoff teams first? If so, I like it.

Guess it depends on how you value Torrey, he probably wouldnt crack top 20 on my list. Although once you get past the first 10-15 it gets pretty murky for everyone and probably comes down to personal preferences.He didn't need Stafford and added a top 15 dynasty WR.By your own post here, the other owner has RGIII, so Glennon becomes a backup.

Doesn't seem even close to worth it for the other team IMO.Four of the last five staffers to update their dynasty rankings have Torrey Smith in their top 15 (disclosure: I'm the one who doesn't, as I have him... all the way down at 17th). WRs are more valuable than QBs in leagues that only start 1 QB. I can easily see why someone would give Smith+change for Stafford... but I can just as easily see why someone would give Stafford for Smith+change.
That kind of seems like a deal I made in a league I wanted to revamp my team. I'm 5-6 in the 6th spot of the playoffs currently, somehow 4th in points. Did the trade about 3-4 weeks ago when DMC was going off and got offered Martin/Cobb for DMC/Marshall. Snap accepted. Pretty happy I still have a shot to make the playoffs, even though it won't matter to me if I win or lose this year.Great move for team receiving Martin and CrabtreeIs it the playoff teams first?

I'm a QB minimalist thru and thru but elite scoring studs regardless of position are more valuable in 10 teamers than fringe starters at any other IMO. Yes there are a ton of QB's available in a 10 teamer, but there are also tons of WR's. Especially in the low end WR2 range when they are only separated out by maybe 1 or 2 PPG's difference and you are likely playing matchups week to week.
I think Knowshon is worth more than a very late 1st in dynasty, but I definitely empathize with the plight of the Knowshon Moreno owners who are rebuilding and stuck trying to get fair value for him. I spent half the season sending out offers and starting discussions before I was finally able to get what I believed was mid-1st round value for him. With time running out on the season, the pressure to settle for less only mounts.djmich said:Two trades in 10 team dynasty (QB/2RB/4WR/1Flex)

Don't think it was that bad of a trade. Moreno and Tate are pretty much a wash (both are going to be dependent on where they land in free agency- I'd prefer Tate long term, but obviously Moreno is much better in the short term), and I'd prefer Bush to Foster in PPR by a decent margin (RB11 vs. RB17 in my last rankings update). That means team B is giving up Blackmon and a 2nd for a huge increase in production for the rest of the season (plus the upgrade from Foster to Bush long-term). I think it's ill-advised for a 5-5-1 team to be making too many "win now" moves out of desperation, but if you're going to be making them, that's a pretty good one to make, imo.Is B new to dynasty?16 Team 1 PPR Can Start 1QB, 2-3 RB, 2-3WR, 1TE, 1PK, 1 D/ST. 1 IR slot (3 round rookie/FA draft)

After yesterday's games, do you still like this trade?Lattimore's a 4th rounder competing with some pretty talented backs. He might be great, or he might never be the same again. Or he might be the same again, but it might turn out that "as good as he was before the injury" wasn't nearly as good as everyone thought (hence the 4th round draft pick). Lattimore's got a lot of potential, but as they say, potential is just shorthand for "hasn't done anything".Short term, sure. Really don't see Tate as a future stud. Lattimore can be.
Ben Tate next year is going to be a 26-year old starting RB with a 4.9 career ypc average. Maybe he's not the next Michael Turner. Maybe he's only LaMont Jordan, instead. That's not the end of the world- LaMont Jordan finished 7th (in just 14 games) in Oakland before he fell off the cliff. And who knows, maybe Tate *IS* the next Michael Turner. He's got some pretty good production to his name already. He leads the NFL in yards per carry after contact this year.
If Lattimore were more like a Willis McGahee, who was drafted in the 1st despite his injury, I'd find it easier to get excited for him. As it stands, he was drafted in the 4th. That tells me something about how NFL franchises felt about him, and it's not good.
Sure. I doubt Ben Tate's short-term outlook was the reason for the trade. As always, it's going to hinge on what happens in Free Agency.After yesterday's games, do you still like this trade?Lattimore's a 4th rounder competing with some pretty talented backs.

Disagreed, if the doormat is a real doormat. All Peyton is doing this season is making his rookie pick worse, and there's no guarantee Peyton's even back next year (I'd say it's extremely likely, but if he wins a league MVP and a superbowl, you never know). Even if Manning comes back next year, he'll still be a year older and a year closer to the end than Brady.I think people are quick to forget just how amazing Brady has been since 2007, and too quick to assume that his recent production is the new normal going forward. I like that trade for an out-of-contention team.Horrible value for Manning12 teams, 4 pt passing TDs:

If you're going to break a single stud into multiple pieces, you could certainly do a lot worse. Of course, I'm generally not a fan of breaking a single stud into multiple pieces, so give me the McCoy + spare change side.whoDATT said:14 Team PPR QRRWWWTF.
