I'd be fine with paying full fees for any year that you trade picks, of any round. I plan on suggesting that. It's better than nothing, but still means you'd have to convince the other guy to pay his dues ahead of time. But that's fair.
I also agree with limiting this. We have discussed this before. I think it makes for a healthier league.
The advent and increased prevalence of leaguesafe as an option I think makes this easier now. We finally got some of my longtime dynasty leagues to convert over to leaguesafe in the last few years. As someone who was in plenty of leagues that folded over the years or even had Commish's abscond with the funds I was always hesitant to pay too much up front and therefore that led to less trading of future picks. But now that the funds are (supposedly) safely deposited with a 3rd party I have less of an issue with paying up for future picks.
I'm definitely more patient with RBs and try to roster as many as possible. The situation can change very quickly - see Jerome Ford. Ford was a later NFL draft pick who now has an opportunity and is getting valuable touches.
It depends a lot on roster spots and starting requirements, but yeah stashing some RB who might fall into a favorable opportunity always worthwhile.
For example's sake, I can tell you exactly what occurred after that trade.
Right. And being less tied to those players long term means you can pick up speculative adds along the way without losing much.
Each league is different. I can't comment on trades sending 3-4 guys each way or holding X-RBs and Y-WRs etc. In general terms I'd rather hold a RB who could blow up any given week if given 15-20 touches (Hello Foreman).
I can see that even though I'm not that excited about Johnson. He has some good things going for him like you say.
It is 20. What made me reluctant about it is, if even one of those 3 RB prospects hits it big (which, look at Spears nipping at Henry'a heels; Miller hasn't done anything special but he was considered a top RB of the class and is just waiting in the wing; heard a lot of good things about Roschon, he's had mixed results so far, but he doesn't have anybody permanent in his way), and if Gibbs should be anything short of phenomenal, then swapping that RB for Gibbs should only be a moderate improvement. Then all that other stuff involved in the deal looks like a loss to me. But, that's an if that certainly may mot happen.
You bring up a tangent concept that I've always really liked the idea of.
Until your league mates respond, "Why in the world would I give u any picks for someone I also could have picked up for free.". Ha ha
Until you respond, "But I picked him up, you didn't. Now tell me this guy isn't worth your third-round pick."
Not to totally derail thread, but one of most satisfying moves is to pick someone up of waivers. Let them increase value for two weeks then dump em.
ETA: Of course, packaging your two worst players for a pick is an option as well. Or your two worst players for a player you deem slightly more valuable + pick up free agent, repeat.
Another unhelpful post.
Can you pm me a thesis on your evaluation of my other posts? Mahalo
Yes. Run by ravnzfan. I got my money finally but some others did not.
That's fair.
I am glad you got your money back.
I wasn't and am not well-informed on that scheme and I'd like to know how it worked. All I know is that a lot of people got harmed.
Well the interesting and alluring part of the set up was many leagues in a pyramid where teams who won championship would ascend to the next higher bracket, with the worst teams being relegated down to lower brackets.
I think a lot of dynasty players think about it. Where did 3-years come up? He's a rookie who has played half a season. If you can trade him for good value or add him into a piece of course you make the deal.
He should not be on any waiver wire in any dynasty league imo. I’d pick em up asap.
Ha ha. My patience is barely sustainable from week to week.
Daily Fantasy Leagues are one door over
I don't think he'll get 2 or 3 years, not with the way teams churn through RBs these days. We'll probably know next year whether he's a thing or just another guy that gets forgotten. The only angle is that there stands a reasonable chance of a new coaching regime next year - who knows whether the new regime will prefer Herbert, Roschon, or their own guy. I assume Foreman will move on in free agency.
I think they retain Eberflus. Also, veering off topic, they should consider trading the #1 pick for a kings ransom and keep Fields. Or draft Marvin Harrison jr. #1 (because the Cardinals will). What Fields needs is better weapons opposite of DJ Moore. If you look at all, or most, of the good QBs in the league, they have good weapons. If they fire Eberflus and draft Caleb Williams, he will be in the same boat as other QBs who don't have the same coaches in year two of being in the league (see Bryce Young). That can't be good for their development.
K. Herbert dropped today. Own R. Johnson.
Guess we will see.
Wouldn't surprise me. He's looked great.
Yeah, I'm not arguing with you at all. Foreman has looked good. But he probably isn't with the team next year and you have to think they may want to get more looks at Roschon. ??
Has he been named the starter? or another RB out?
Foreman ruled out. Roschon got the most touches last week. Great match up. Risky play since he has not been named the starter but the upside certainly is there.
why?
Assume because Foreman is out.
Why Herbert over Johnson when Johnson out snapped him last week?
