Trade Value of LT (1 Viewer)

[FootballFreakX]

I traded my mid first and fourth round pick to move up to the top spot and draft LT, and it's killing me right now. The toe injury is not helping, but he is a shell of himself right now.

What kind of value does he currently have? What could I get for him in return?

I'm going to offer LT up for Portis, Gore and I'm even considering guys like Chris Johnson or Michael Turner. What should I ask for and what should I expect in return?

 

[Kwai Chang Caine]

I wouldn't trade any of those guys for LT.

I got roasted on this board two weeks ago for pulling off a three way trade that essentialy got me CJ3 and a high draft pick next year for LT. Right now, the owner that dealt for LT looks like he is going to lose his second straight game since aquiring him.

 

[Sabertooth]

I sent LT2 packing in a dynasty alongside Desean Jackson for Sjax and Boldin last week.

 

[FootballFreakX]

Sheesh, I can't imagine his value is THAT low right now. What would you give up for him then? Anyone else willing to part with any RB1 for Tomlinson?

 

[Mr Anonymous]

Wouldn't it make more sense to ride it out until after his bye in two weeks and see if the rest heals his toe?

If you're wanting to deal him, that tells everyone else in your league all they need to know. Supply/Demand. You have the supply and are in no position to demand. You've officially ridden him to his lowest point. I'd hold on and pray he can continue healing.

You'll probably get laughed at from all those owners.

So basically go down with the ship? After this weekend's game my team is going to be 5 - 2. Here is my team:ManningCasellOrtonLTForteJacobsWardMo MorrisOcho CincoMasonBerrianCotcheryBookerShockeyLeeAkersStoverRavens DefWe start 2 Rbs, 3 WRs and have 1 FlexI'm confident my team can push for a league title, so I think if I can get a bit more production than I am getting right now from Tomlinson, I will be OK.So, still down with the ship?

trade deadline for most leagues is week 10

 

[FantasyTrader]

Now we're getting into FFA territory but no, not down with the ship. If this is the case, then you're in fine shape. Let Forte and Jacobs do the heavy lifting for you and hopefully LT gets right just in time to do the heavy lifting for you against Oakland and KC in the playoffs.

Good point. Guess I'm pretty lucky to be in a league that has a later trade deadline.

this is what I am doing. have LT, Sjax, Portis and Slaton in my dynasty league. if LT gets healthy and the O line plays better(to me this is a bigger problem than the toe) than it will be icing on the cake for me

If i was not stacked at RB I would try to move him for a young RB and a pick. But FF is about what have you done for me lately and LT has not done anything

I'm going to offer LT up for Portis, Gore.

No one's giving up Portis or Gore for LT. Lower your standards or be prepared to keep him.

I doubt the Chris Johnson or Turner owners would trade them for LT either.

Turners playoff schedule is awful. And he usually plays like crap on the road. And the Falcons are still a young/mostly crappy team. They've just played some really bad teams.I'll take LT over Turner all day.

I gave up Chris Johnson for LT (before this week) in a dynasty mainly based on the rest of his schedule. His schedule is very weak and only has two tough games (Pit week 11 and TB week 16). LT also still has two games left against KC - including one right after the bye just like Johnson had today. Johnson has a pretty nice schedule as well, but I'm hoping that after the bye week that LT gets healthy and can make a nice run down the stretch.

 

[teamroc]

offered LT/Chad Johnsonfor slaton/Marshall

In PPR, Marshall probably kills LT over the next 5 years production wise. And I might wager the same for Slaton over Chad. In a lot of PPR scoring, the top 4-5 WRs end up in the top 10-12 overall, which is what Marshall is. I also think Marshall beats LT this year in points in PPR. I'm not sure I'd trade a top 5 dynasty WR, 24 years old, for ANY 29 year old semi-injured struggling RB. Even LT. LT vs Bucs week 16? Trading for LT for next year? I don't know. Cutler/Marshall is an elite combo for the next 8 years.

Yeah... he played like crap in Green Bay a few weeks ago...

 

[Riffraff]

I'm going to offer LT up for Portis, Gore and I'm even considering guys like Chris Johnson or Michael Turner.

As a dynasty owner with these two guys on it, I'd say no way to trading either one for LT2. I'm also saying this as a Charger fan with LT2 as his favorite player.

That's why I said "usually" #######. If I meant always, I would have said always. @ TB 14 carries for 42 yards 0 tds@ CAR 18 carries for 56 yards 0 tdsWeek 15 vs TBWeek 16 vs Vikings

 

[Hook Em']

In a 12 team dynasty PPR league I just traded away LT. I already owned AP and Chris Johnson. Here was the deal.

LT, R Moss, M Bush, 2009 1st,2nd, and 3rd round picks

FOR

SJAX and Reggie Wayne

 

[Biabreakable]

I have offered up LT/Holt/1st round pick in 2009 for AD/Colston in a attempt to try and buy low (was before AD 2TD game yesterday) but was soundly rejected.

I however am not really trying to get rid of LT.. I was just trying to buy AD.

I don't think LT has been as bad as people seem to think. There have been circumstances that have worked against him this year so far but I don't mind keeping him long term.

I think LT has plenty of game left.

You should tone it down a bit.

 

[Max Power]

Is anyone buying on LT? After watching the Titans run all over the KC, I have to think LT should have two good/Great games ahead of him.

 

[two_dollars]

the 1-6 team in my division just sent me Ronnie Brown, Plaxico, and Cutler for LT and Owens.

He needed to make a move, and I needed a QB. and I have a mancrush on Brown.

So there's another trade to throw into the mix.

 

[moderated]

Got rid of him for what should be a mid-09' 1st.

Even if he bounces back his career is on the decline and will just get worse every year.

 

[morgonster]

I bought in a Redraft. Traded T. Jones, Edge, and TO for LT, Sproles and B. Marshall.

Nice! You got a statistically declining RB, a backup and a WR who is slowly becoming 2nd receiver on his team behind Eddie Royal (look at the stats for the last 4 games).

 

[morgonster]

LT's upcoming schedule has some easy games. If you think the that Marshall is the #2 to Royal, you must own him or your delusional.

 

[george]

I was just offered LT for Lynch in a PPR league. Not sure I'm biting, but thinking about it.

 

[EdwardCat]

LT's upcoming schedule has some easy games. If you think the that Marshall is the #2 to Royal, you must own him or your delusional.

Option #3: I own Marshall. If you don't believe me, look at the stats for the last 4 games. Royal has just as many catches and almost as many yards. Marshall is by no means the clear cut #1. Cutler threw almost exclusively to Royal in the first half of yesterday's game.

 

[EdwardCat]

I was offered Turner/DeSean Jackson for LT/Lloyd. Given Turner's horrible schedule (almost the worst in the NFL), it is hard to bite on that. I'm trying to get Forte in place of Turner.

 

[morgonster]

That's fine, statistically speaking, but I believe my eye's when I see that talent that Marshall has. If you've given up on him for the season, maybe you should trade him. I also think that LT will have a good to great second half. We can disagree on that too. It's only my opinion.

Oh, I encourage you to disagree with me. Otherwise, what is this board for?

 

[arlingtonpark27]

Is anyone buying on LT? After watching the Titans run all over the KC, I have to think LT should have two good/Great games ahead of him.

I agree. I'm looking to buy him in a couple of leagues right now. I'm weak in one league (PPR), but have Reggie Bush. Thinking about offering him straight up for LT or include some other players if needed. The other guy has McGahee and Parker, so I might have to make it a multi-player trade, but he is also a risk taker. My team is struggling at 3-4, so I need help sooner than later.

Don't pollute the FFA with this junk.

 

[jtomm]

i have westy and cj3 on my roster. last week i traded lt for turner and rivers.

 

[Coach3K]

Well, LT is still the starting RB for the Chargers in 2017 in my current game of NFL Head Coach. Approaching 24,000 yards rushing, he's clearly a BUY in Dynasty leagues! Another good 10 years left in him!

Seriously, though, I've got him in a Keeper league and right now I couldn't get value for him if I tried. He'll bounce back, and yes, he has a few good-to-great seasons of potential in him, if not closer to 5 or 6. You're not going to get what he's really worth in value, so the best thing to do is hold tight on him and let him bounce back. If you're still worried about production in future years, swing some trades next year on draft day. Moving him now or even before Week 10/11 trade deadlines will just hurt you in the end.

 

[Swanny]

Tomlinson owner just offered me LT2 and my choice of Chambers/Muhammad for Slaton/Coles. This leaves me with having to start Ricky Williams during LT2's bye week 9, but I might have to do this. Tomlinson's schedule down the stretch is very nice, but I also don't want to get caught up in his name. Coles is my #3 receiver behind S. Smith and Marshall. I would have to start either Curtis, Avery or Chambers/Muhammad in that spot. Any thoughts?

 

[Raleigh Engineers]

In a keeper league, I just traded LT for Ronnie Brown yesterday. In a redraft league, I'm still holding LT (not getting much interest in him).

 

[Steel Town]

I agree that you likely cannot get another rb1 for LT right now. With any trade, you have to seek out teams that have either been hit with an injury, are in a must win situation and have players on a bye, or have dropped several games in a row and are looking to make wholesale changes to their lineups.

I have LT, and have made some inquiries for guys like Turner, Barber, Chris Johnson and Marshawn Lynch...but received an adamant "NO" to my trade offers. At this point, you almost have to hang onto him and hope he rebounds after the bye week. Normally, I would say look to trade him for a stud wr - but there doesn't seem to be enough of them to go around this year.

 

[Swanny]

Bump, would love some feedback on the proposal I detailed a few posts up. Haven't seen much of Tomlinson this year. On paper he looks great to have in a starting lineup, but I'm not even sold that he outperforms Slaton at this point. However, Slaton has limited upside only because Houston limits his touches, but I'm trying to weight Tomlinson's injury versus his remaining schedule (which is exceptional). Welcoming all opinions...TIA.

 

[Uncle Humuna]

14 team redraft.

We can start up to 4 RB (1 RB + 3 OF).

I'm stacked at RB: Barber, Portis, CJ3, Graham, Slaton, Benson, Torrain.

I threw an offer to the LT owner.

Benson + choice of CJ3, Graham or Slaton

Obviously, I think LT will rebound.

It's probably moot anyway, because everyone is gun shy in this league, and trades hardly ever occur.

(I can't even get people to make counter-offers - illustrated by the fact that I threw out an offer to try

and obtain Felix Jones, and was absolutely giddy that the owner actually sent back a counter offer -

even if it was Felix Jones for Marion Barber )

 

[Ron_Mexico]

I bought in a Redraft. Traded T. Jones, Edge, and TO for LT, Sproles and B. Marshall.

Nice! You got a statistically declining RB, a backup and a WR who is slowly becoming 2nd receiver on his team behind Eddie Royal (look at the stats for the last 4 games).

The key here is redraft.I think it was a fine deal for him.

 

[Tenacious]

I'm working to buy low on LT right now. Giving up hopefully LJ, Lewis and Houshmandzedah for him and Wes Welker.

Call me crazy, but I think LT is a great buy low right now. At worst, IMO, he's a RB1, with RB1+++ upside. I don't expect LT of 2005 and 2006, but I do expect RB1 production at the very least going forward.

i'd like to gauge his value cause i plan on making a move for him after this week going into his bye. looking to give up chris johnson after this weeks matchup w/ indy.

I'm also thinking along these lines. I've got Ronnie and CJ3 on my roster (along with Lynch and K. Smith) in a start 2 RB auction league. We can only keep one player and both Ronnie and CJ3 can be kept for cheap next year. I'm going to try to move CJ3 after the Indy game (assuming he puts up big numbers). I'm targeting LT. I might even be able to get the LT owner to throw in a WR#2 considering CJ3's cheap keeper price for next year.
