I own megatron in 2 leagues the offers for him are becoming out of control hust wondering if he is basically untradable now? I mean unstoppable is possibly the only way to describe the guy but would anyone trade him?

Sell extra high on megatron? (1 Viewer)

I don't think you can say a player is untradable, but he's as close as it gets right now. It would take a ridiculously lopsided offer to get him from my lineup.

i'm a calvin owner in a TD heavy league. there are few offers that would actually make me take a second look, muchtheless click accept.

It would be really hard for me to trade him. I would need 2 really good players or you better have an elite RB in the deal. To be honest, I don't think anyone in my league would pay my asking price. And I need RB help in that league. Better off keeping him and enjoy the ride.
If your team is good, dont trade him. If you need help in more than one position, trade him to shore up multiple positions.

Honestly... unless a person is in a 6 team league, no one is going to have the depth on their roster to give up what it would take to pull him from an owner. (unless he happens to be on a team that has lost Charles, Britt, and Manning. then I could see the owner letting him go)

Who are you going to trade him for? There isn't a WR in the league I'd trade him for. Would I trade him straight up for Ray Rice, Arian Foster or ADrian Peterson, ya, go ahead and sell him. I certainly wouldn't sell him for anyone else. The only thing that can slow him down is injury, but we can say that about anyone.

Was offered foster and mike wallace for him is the most recent one but I already have rice and mcfadden at rb but that gives me a great stable of rbs problem is boldin and maclin are my other wr so no real stout #1 at wr

LOL, you rejected that!?c'mon man... that's gotta be a made up story, or you're insane.

I think I'd reject it too if I were him. I'd take Rodgers and a premier TE, and even then I'm not sure if I were him.

Maybe both.What about Dez or Miles?
Like Foster and Wallace?

Footballguy
No. Like Rice and Fitz.

As soon as he only catches 1 TD in a game you will lose lots of value..You'll be ***t. If you're in my league...I'll give you DJAX & Gates for him.
It's not likely that he's going to catch 36 TD this year. SO, you've already benefitted but if You like the ride...keep it going. If you want to cash in...Get a #1 WR and solid player.... I think FJAX success will continue this year. Get the players you expect to be hot at end of the year.

It's definitely a solid offer for Megatron but I wouldn't be so quick to accept. Wallace is a really fine player but I don't consider him a top-tier stud like Calvin Johnson. Foster was a complete stud last year. This year he's been hurt. I'm not a Megtron owner, but my sense is that he's going to do crazy, record-breaking things this year and I'd rather ride that than move him for two lesser chess pieces. It would take a lot to pry him off my roster.

Just worried that foster will get hurt again a wallace will most likely lose value value with big ben if he is out for an extended amount of time

own him in 3 leagues, no need to trade him, love the consistency so far this year.
I would trade him for Wes Welker.

Footballguy
I would not.
Kenny Powers
Footballguy
In the league I have him in I have Stafford as well, and Im 0-4. My RBs are basically all busts: Mendenhall, Felix, DeAngelo, Ingram, Hightower. The thought of trading Megatron never occurred to me, but after reading this thread Im going to shop him for a WR/RB combo I like and see if anyone accepts. If not, no skin off my crappy teams back and his perceived value really cant get any higher.

In ppr I would. Non ppr I will take the td record.

That's the point though. There's almost no way he continues at this clip.

The guy already has McFadden and Rice at RB. If he only plays 2, why trade away the #1 WR and keep one of those RB's on the bench? The trade doesn't make sense in his situation.

Same...and that's why someone will have to pry Megatron away from my cold, dying fingers this year. Screw it. Records are made to be broken, as unlikely as it may be.

So You have Rice, McFadden, and Calvin Johnson? Must be nice to play in a 6 man league.

Ever hear of a dynasty league Ace?So You have Rice, McFadden, and Calvin Johnson? Must be nice to play in a 6 man league.
So what? In one league I've got them too. It's called keeper league...I can only start 2 RBs and would NOT trade Calvin for Foster and Wallace either. Give me Rodgers and a great WR and we are talking though.So You have Rice, McFadden, and Calvin Johnson? Must be nice to play in a 6 man league.

In my 16 team dynasty the Megatron owner wanted Stewart, Fitz, Bryant and Graham.
I told him where to go.

offered his choice of lesean or dmac and randall cobb for him in a ppr dynasty and was rejected.

I Understand the sense of Euphoria people are experiencing with Calvin right now but be sensible people.
I own Calvin in two of my leagues and even as an owner I realize this won't keep up. Can he have a magical season? Sure. Could he even set the NFL all-time seasonal record? Yes he could. But what he is doing now is on pace to blow the single-season record out of the water. There WILL be a regression to the mean.
I can see a team holding him in a redraft whether you have a good team or not. He is either the reason you are good or is the reason you have a punchers chance each week if your team is not good.
But in a dynasty, you sell. And I say this being a proponent of putting great players on my team and not worrying about the position for many years. But in a case like this, he already had great value and now if you can get someone to fall in love with him and offer you something like Foster/Wallace. You just have to. Wallace himself can get you Calvin's points on most weeks (especially in PPR). You just can't be so short sided as to think Calvin is just going to continue to put up two TDs each week. And actually, this past Sunday was looking like it was one of the classic unexplainable games Calvin has from time to time where he ends up with pedestrian numbers. had the Lions not been trailing by 20+ points, his final numbers would have been quite a bit lower.

I never understood the sell high philosphy in fantasy football. It makes sense if you believe the guy is a fluke but if he's the real deal why would you? Do you not like all those points in your lineup every week?
No need to sell Megatron unless it's a crazy stupid offer. Guy is young and talented so it makes no sense to trade him now.

I know this is supposed to be THE best site for the intelligent FF owner anywhere in the world. But it continually amazes me that it seems like the overriding wisdom here is, "buy high, sell low."
Of COURSE you sell Johnson right now if you can get the value for him that a 32 TD WR would bring, because he has zero shot at being that. You sell Welker if you can get 160/2400 value out of him, too. Because it ought to be clear to anybody who has been watching football for more than four weeks that -- while these guys ARE awesome -- those paces simply don't reflect the reality of where they're going to end up as statistical performers.
Didn't people learn their lesson last week when everybody said Gronkowski was untradable because he was OBVIOUSLY going to produce 1000+/15+? How many are already wishing they'd gone ahead and pulled the trigger on the deals that were mentioned in here for Gronk?
You'll be kicking yourselves in the faces for turning down Foster/Wallace type trades by midseason. That's such a no-brainer as to be absurd.

Nobody here is saying Calvin is going to catch 32 TD passes, as well as Welker going for 2400 yards receiving. I definitely think Calvin has a serious shot at Moss's TD record, and Welker could threaten Marvin Harrison's reception record of 143.Of course if I were offered Foster and Wallace for Calvin, I couldn't accept it quick enough.....in redraft or dynasty. But no owner with any common sense would offer that for Calvin, IMO.

He doesn't have to though. There will likely be many weeks where he doesn't score at all - but he should still gain a decent chunk of yards those weeks. He's showing what he's capable of with good QB play. Obviously he cannot keep up this pace, but even if he only finishes with 15 TDs on the year (which is a high number, but with 8 already that's a fairly "safe" bet) that gives him 7 TDs over the next 12 weeks or in other words normal numbers for a stud WR.
