So, your dynasty team is pretty stacked and you're feeling good about your chances in '07. Rather than deal with slow-developing rookies or trading for the popular young stud, you're more concerned with adding that final piece or two that can help you now. With your window of opportunity being now, age is of little concern so quality depth can be had on the cheap as the rest of your league focuses on youth.

With that in mind, what "old guys" are you targeting in dynasty league trades that will hopefully put you over the top for '07?

 
Muhammad

Horn

Galloway

Bruce

Glenn

Favre

Kitna

McNair

I will post more when I think of them. The WRs are for depth and solid WR4 type WRs. The QBs can be had cheap and could be better than most starters worth more.

 
I haven't followed the offseason too closely. Any teams showing interest in Dillon, Moulds or McCardell or are they done (NFL-wise)?

 
It seems like Moulds would have bene signed by now. On your list I like Bruce for fantasy worth. Everybody's gonna think D Bennett will take his job but he won't, not this yr.

 
I'll just list my top at each position, based on them outperforming their ADP

QB - Brett Favre

RB - Fred Taylor (if he can remain unfragile)

WR - Terry Glenn

TE - Desmond Clark (he's only 30, but underrated FF TE)

 
If your starting QB is a young stud like Vince Young, Leinart, Rivers, Roethlisberger, Eli or Cutler, I'd be targeting Favre or Kitna for veteran stability. If I can't get either of them, I'd see what it would take to get Delhomme. I'm tempted to say Trent Green as it still looks like he'll end up in Miami, but I think his useful years are behind him. I'm also tempted to say Damon Huard, but I think the Chiefs' passing offense has little chance of matching the production of previous years.

I think Ahman Green is once again the perfect RB to fill this need. I used him in exactly this fashion with a trade last summer, and then I traded him away at the end of the year once I was finished with him. But he can definitely be useful on a week-to-week basis as you're waiting for a Cadillac or DeAngelo Williams to fulfill their potential. I'm hesitant to say Jamal Lewis because it's clear that he doesn't have much left in the tank and Cleveland hasn't been kind to starting RBs, but his value is so low right now that you could probably swipe him on the cheap and hope the Browns don't address their RB situation in the draft. If Jamal is to be believed, he's healthier now than he's been in a couple of years. I don't see a huge turnaround, but he was definitely useful as a starter at times last season.

I typically stay away from older WRs unless they're still studs. If I had to name a couple to take a chance on I'd say Joe Horn can still be productive when healthy and he has a chip on his shoulder this year. Galloway is another one who still looks like he has something left. Muhsin Muhammad and Derrick Mason both look like they were passed as #1 options last year, and both have talented 3rd WRs (Bradley & D.Williams) forcing their way into more playing time in '07. I'll be interested to see what happens with Moulds this offseason.

I like this list, but I'm not sure about Horn in Atlanta.Add:Ed KennisonFred TaylorAhman GreenHines WardDonald DriverRandy MossObviously the last 3 will cost more than the others, but they're worth it and might be had for a 1st or young prospects.
 
I went the Opposite route w/ WRs

Besides Curtis.. My WRs are 26 or younger at the start of the season..

I rather build a core in the 1st yr.
