Jeff,

It looks like I may have several potential trades available, so wanted to get a feel for how you ranked the relative value of the players I might be able to get. In all cases (so far), I would be trading players I'm not planning on keeping.

12-team, keep-5 auction league. 1 QB/1 Superflex/2 WR/2 RB/1 TE/1 PK/1 DST. Standard scoring, 4 PaTD, 1 point per first down (historically, about 0.5 PPR for TE's, 0.7 PPR for WR's). Total salary is $260. Current keepers are Vick, Big Ben, Mendenhall and Fitzgerald.

These are the players I could potentially trade for as my fifth keeper: Nicks ($20), Austin ($21), Wallace ($10), Holmes ($6), Collie ($2). I'd also be curious where you'd put Fitzgerald ($30) and Vernon Davis ($6) in that mix, again keeping in mind their salaries.

Ok......I picked some guys based on some of your earlier advice like Tolbert for instance. You may have some ideas where I could of made a better pick. The ratings calculator liked team two the best I believe.

Thanks,

I do not have a 1 or 2nd round pick in the rookie draft and have been offered J. Simpson & 1.02 for MJD & 3.05.

This is a trade that is a no brainer reject correct I would like the 1.02 but don't think it is worth MJD. I did win this league last year and think I might have a good chance again this year.

I love Wallace, Holmes, and Collie at their salaries. In fact, I would take all three over VD. Fitz is also a bargain, but would take Wallace over him. In order: Wallace, Fitz, Nicks, Holmes, Collie, VD, Austin

I love team one in standard scoring (non-ppr) leagues. The only qualm would be different WRs in 8th and 9th ... but I love that team overall. Great WRs for where you took them. Holmes and Harvin are decent WR1/2 and cheap where you got them.

I know some are down on MJD but no way would i deal him with that team. If the worry is that he will wear down in a couple of years, not a concern since you are playing for titles. That is a very good RB/WR/TE group for a bigger league.

[We Tigers]

Interesting scenario--my keep-3 league has for the first time allowed pre-keeper trades from last year's rosters, as well as trading for draft picks. There are no restrictions on keepers, no round replacement--everyone just keeps three players, and we draft 13 more rounds for a total of 16 roster spots. If you get a draft pick from someone, you have to give them one back somewhere in the draft, so everyone has 16 players when it's done.

This is a 14-team league, so a few teams are thin on potential keepers. I'm not one of them--I was planning on keeping Arian Foster, Ray Rice, and Mike Williams, but I also have Steven Jackson and Matt Schaub. I would like to get something for one of those guys, probably Jackson, before keeper declaration, but what is the better strategy to pursue? I could do something like deal Jackson and, say, my 4th round pick to any team for their 2nd round pick, moving myself up 20 spots and giving the other team a third keeper. I could also try to go hard after some of the owners with just a few keepers--for example, the guy who has Rodgers, Nicks, and nothing else, or the one with Mendenhall, Jennings, and nothing else. I figure a Jackson + Williams package could be enough to turn Williams into Nicks or Jennings for me, giving those players 3 solid keepers and upgrading one of mine. Of course, that could also turn a soft team into a rival.

Kind of a tough spot because everyone knows I can't keep all the players, thereby devaluing them somewhat; nobody's going to trade their first pick in the post-keeper draft for Jackson because even though 42 players are already off the board when we start drafting, they'd still have a crack at the pool of 6-8 high-value players in that first round.

I guess it comes down to whether the smarter plan is to try to upgrade keepers, or to try to get an improved draft slot in one of the rounds. What do you think? FYI, scoring is generally normal, with .5 PPR and all TDs 6 points.

I would look to upgrade keepers first ... even if Schaub/Williams for a better WR and then SJax for a pick upgrade. I will say I would try to make any deal asap, there are only so many to go around and the better deals are the early ones (usually) in keeper leagues. So, try the upgrade but go with the picks if it does not fly.

Hi Jeff, i need some insights on how to manage my Keeper/Dynasty League Team.

Here's my Team Roster.

QB - Brees 1Y + Orton 1Y

RB - Rice 2Y + Addai 1Y + McCoy 3Y

WR - Wayne 3Y + PITWallace 2Y + Jacoby Ford 3Y + Collie 2Y + Mike Thomas 3Y

TE - Finley 1Y + Graham 3Y

PK - Cundiff 2Y + Barth 1Y

16 Teams League / Pass TDs 4Pts / nonPPR / Starting QB/RB/WR/TE/FLEX/FLEX+IDPs so my Current Lineup is Brees/Rice/Wallace/Finley/McCoy/Wayne.

My Questions for you:

1) I've an offer on the table. I would give Wayne + Addai + Finley and i would receive Steven Jackson (3Years Contract) and my Starting Lineup would be Brees/Rice/Wallace/Graham/McCoy/SJax. Should it be considered an upgrade or a downgrade?

2) If i get Sjax i can trade him for J.Charles (1Year Contract), should i lose 2 Years of a low-end RB1 for 1 Year of Charles?

3a) Do I Have too many WRs for a non-PPR League? 3b) Best RBs on the wire are: Hihghtower, Thomas Jones, Sproles, Ricky Williams, Ringer, Barber, Snelling. Should I Drop one of my Wrs to make room?

Thank you very much.

I think you lose big in the first deal .... I would look to add Ringer if you can cheaply. Chris Johnson is holding out and even if he reports, Ringer is a decent gamble. I would dump kicker number two if you can without much cost.

Hi Jeff:

12 team 18 player roster dynasty standard scoring

I have a dilemma with the rb2 position. After Charles, I don't have much in reliable rbs. I have tried to trade from my wr depth but talks never progressed.

I have been offered Lynch and 1st rd rook 2012 for AJ Green.

Also offered Ryan Williams, Beanie Wells for AJ Green and 2nd rd rook 2012 (turns into 1st rd if Wells get majority of rb reps)

I have avoided trading future rookie picks. But feel my team might require I change that philosophy.

Would an offer of 1st round rook 2012 be adequate compensation for Marshawn Lynch?

RBS: Charles, Vereen, Carter, Woodhead, Powell,TJones

WRS: AJohnson, Wallace, AJ Green, Welker

Are any of these something I should do? Any suggestions?

Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

[SelenaCat]

Jeff,

I made a trade last week and am considering offering a second to free up some cap space.

12-team, keep-5 auction league. 2 QB/2 RB/2 WR/1 TE/1 PK/1 DST. $260 salary total. Standard scoring, 1 point per receiving first down (~1/2 PPR for TE, 2/3 PPR for WR).

My current keeper roster is Vick ($34), Roethlisberger ($26), Peterson ($74), Mendenhall ($40), Nicks ($20), Fitzgerald ($30).

I'm currently leaning towards dropping AP, which would leave me $110 cap space.

I'm considering asking to trade Fitzgerald ($30) for Witten ($5), which would free up some cap space to go after a big-name RB1 (AP for ~$70, MJD/SJax/Gore/Hillis ~$50-60). Fitzgerald is not a huge bargain at $30, but there will be very few WR1/WR2's available in the auction (maybe AJ for ~$45, Wayne for ~$30, otherwise we're in the Harvin/Boldin/S. Moss range. (As a note, TE's are typically undervalued and other than Gates, I wouldn't expect to pay more than $5-10 for a decent TE1).

Would you:

A) Offer this trade? (Vick/Ben/Mendy/Nicks/Witten, $135 cap space for RB/WR/backups/prospects)

B) Stay pat, keep Fitz (Vick/Ben/Mendy/Nicks/Fitz, $110 cap space). And if so, should I set my sites a little lower for my RB so that I'll have some money left over for TE/backups/prospects?

C) Stay pat, keep AP (Vick/Ben/AP/Mendy/Nicks) and live with the $66 cap left for a WR2/TE/backups/prospects?

Hey Jeff

I am in a standard PPR league. I am drafting 9th out of 14 in a snake draft. In the ninth spot what type of players and positions would you target? Thanks

Since it is a 14 teamer, I think you have to go rb/qb or rb/rb just due to supply. There are several decent wrs later but the rb and qb pools thin out quickly.

 

[Phantom Knight]

Hi Jeff,

(I have also posted this is Trader Joe's, hope that is not bad form? Certainly the more input, the more informed the final decision).

Received a trade offer in a 12-team dynasty (standard) ppr league.

I would give:

* Addai

I would receive:

* Michael Bush

* Rookie 2011 draft pick 3.3

I am currently weak at the WR position (but not as weak as the owner offering the trade), so adding a wr to the mix to address my weakness is not an option.

I am also a bit weak at rb with:

* Addai, Joseph IND RB

* Barber, Marion CHI RB

* Bradshaw, Ahmad NYG RB

* Bush, Reggie MIA RB

* Jackson, Steven STL RB

* Westbrook, Brian SFO RB

The other owner quickly rejected upgrading the 3.03 to the 2.08 pick. He also quickly rejected making the trade Addai/Tony Gonzalez for Bush/O Daniels (w/o draft pick).

My gut reaction at this point is to take the trade.

My reasoning: I do not see my (new acquired) team taking the championship this year, though I should be in the mix for the playoffs. So my view is more toward 2012. Bush has had a severe injury, but is a year younger than Addai who has more NFL mileage and never seems to be able to play a complete season. I am guessing that in 2012, Bush will have more value than he has now and Addai less. I am hoping that the 3.03 will turn into a serviceable player.

For this year, I would be tagging Bradshaw and Jackson as my starters with possible value plays coming from Reggie Bush and Michael Bush along the way. Of course it is possible that this is the year Addai plays a full season and I am left gnashing my teeth.

What is your take?

 

[SelenaCat]

Completely different topic than my previous trade questions:

I'm in a league that awards a fairly significant amount of points based on the scoring against them and penalizes you for poor defenses:

Shutout: 12 points

1-9 points allowed: 9 points

10-16 points allowed: 5 points

17-28 points allowed: 0 points

29-40 points allowed: -1 point

41+ points allowed: -4 points

There are no points given for yards allowed and otherwise scoring is similar to the FBG defaults.

The 9th-15th defenses all scored around 100 points for the year, and whereas the top two defenses (Steelers and Packers) both scored about 200 points for the year, making them about the 50th highest scorers in all positions.

That's a pretty significant point differential, and since points allowed is a much easier statistic to project, should I consider drafting a defense sooner than the last round (well, the round before I draft a kicker, anyhow)?

I think I would take the deal, since you are rebuilding, and take one of the rookie QBs with the pick.

I would either take a defense a round earlier than normal or use a committee. Since it rewards points against, picking up the opponents of SF, Cincy, etc might be a better move than Pitt.

I would not go defense in the first round or even two, but would address LB and DE soon in the draft

 

[Packers4ever]

14 team dynasty league standard scoring with PPR starters 1QB, 1RB, 1 WR, 1 TE, 3 Flex( RB, WR, TE), 1 K, 1 Def

My team

QB's- J. Freeman, M. Stafford, D. Garrard

WR's- D. Williams, B. Wells, B. Jacobs, T. Hightower

WR's- C. Johnson, H. Nicks, M. Crabtree, D. Bryant, A. Armstrong

TE's- K. Winslow, A. Hernandez

K - M. Crosby

DEF- San Diego

So I have the 1.01 pick and am thinking with my team that I need to pick Ingram since my RB's are not the best but in a PPR league is AJ Green the pick even through I am really set at WR but I can start four of them and 1 RB.

So what is your choice AJ or Ingram.

Received a trade offer in a 12-team dynasty (standard) ppr league.I would give:* AddaiI would receive:* Michael Bush* Rookie 2011 draft pick 3.3

I think I would take the deal, since you are rebuilding, and take one of the rookie QBs with the pick.

Thanks Jeff, I waited a tad too long, other owner revoked the trade about an hour ago.

Pick the one whose talent you like best, regardless of position or need. I like both players and would be good either way. If you think Green will have the better career, your current WRs should not matter.

Not a huge deal either way. Addai will be worth much more during the season than now. But, I would use 3rd and 4th round picks on the rookie QBs.

I think picking early in the first is much easier because having a stud rb as an anchor really helps. I do think you are best grabbing a RB at the one/two turn just to have an anchor. I liked the LMoore, Tolbert, Felix, Ingram, and Hightower picks. To me, the WR pool is much deeper than at RB and that is why you need one early and one in the mid (felix, Ingram) area. Then, Tolbert as a RB3/4 is a strong play.

Hey Jeff,

12 team H2H Keeper Auction League

$200 salary

Keep 3 players. Max of 3 years

5 player rookie taxi squad(yearly rookie draft, salary depends on round taken, $10/year for 5 years round 1, $5/year for 3 years round 2, etc). 4th year of league. Inflation started on rookies last year. opportunity to franchise one rookie player.

Start 1 QB, 2 RB, 4 WR/TE, 1 DEF

6 points all TD's(including passing TD's)

1 pt/10 yards rushing/receiving

Keepers

Rodgers $3 last year of contract

Adrian Peterson $65 last year

Chris Johnson $10, 2 more years on rookie contract.

Calvin Johnson $20, last year

Mike Williams tb $5, 3 more years of rookie contract

Donald Brown $10, 2 more years if rookie contract.

So, I traded LeShoure and first round rookie for AP. I then had too many keepers( we can have unlimited rookie keepers) so I traded Bradshaw for a second round rookie and Donald Brown. I thought it was a chance to buy low on Brown just incase he finally figures it out. Now, with him my salary is $113. Is his salary too much of a burden and not worth waiting to see if he can turn it around? Should I not keep him. Could probably get him back for cheaper. Couldnt franchise him if I dropped him, not a big deal.

Thanks

Brown is too expensive in my opinion. If they loved Brown, the Colts would not have paid Joseph Addai so much to re-sign.

Definitely a RB at the 1.01, giving you a lot of flexibility at the 2/3 turn. For the pick, I would not take Johnson if he is not in camp before your draft. He is not worth the risk. The next question is Peterson vs Foster. Make sure Foster is healthy but he is who I would go with if 100%. Peterson has a poor OL but would default to him if Foster is still nicked up. While Charles and McCoy are attractive, each has done it one year with a low number of carries ... just big plays.

Hello Jeff,

I just joined this forum because I really like some of the things I read on here, including this thread. Also, this is my first fantasy football. It would be greatly appreciated if you can give me your opinion on my draft and maybe who I should drop to get Jason Snelling. So far, I have dropped Thomas Jones (KC) for Greg Little (CLE) hopefully I did the right thing.

My league has 12 teams and I had the 10th pick. After doing some reading I regretted taking Turner as my first pick. Should have went for a stud WR.

What have you heard on Foster and his health as I'm looking at him for my first pick?

Do you see Ben or Ryan being around somewhere between rounds 5-7? (with flex added in lineup requirements it might change this) Schaub's prbly close there too? Thoughts? I noticed the qb's flying off the board in one ppr draft I did, I tried to hit rb/wr while that was happening.

What Rb's and Wr's are some you like between 2.11 thru 5 to 6?

Thanks for the help, and hope your doing well!

Ben and Ryan are usually both there in leagues that only are allowed to start one QB. I am not really a Schaub fan as much, and he goes before the other two on avg. Foster looked great tonight and is healthy. Before tonight, I was hesitant about him. In PPR I like Steve Johnson, Harvin in the 5-6. The RBs in that area are Felix, DeAngelo, etc. To me, the 4-5 has tons of value. That is why I would rather either take a top QB at 2/3 turn or wait until 6-7 and take Ben

Hi Jeff:

12 team 18 player roster dynasty standard scoring

I have a dilemma with the rb2 position. After Charles, I don't have much in reliable rbs. I have tried to trade from my wr depth but talks never progressed.

I have been offered Lynch and 1st rd rook 2012 for AJ Green.

Also offered Ryan Williams, Beanie Wells for AJ Green and 2nd rd rook 2012 (turns into 1st rd if Wells get majority of rb reps)

I have avoided trading future rookie picks. But feel my team might require I change that philosophy.

Would an offer of 1st round rook 2012 be adequate compensation for Marshawn Lynch?

RBS: Charles, Vereen, Carter, Woodhead, Powell,TJones

WRS: AJohnson, Wallace, AJ Green, Welker

Are any of these something I should do? Any suggestions?

Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

I think I would keep your youth and picks, and try to acquire addai, hightower, or grant on the cheap you have a good young team, I would not mortgage it to address rb2

Per your suggestion, I tried to acquire these rbs but the asking price was too high (1st rd rookie picks, really?).

I got an offer of Lynch for Eli Manning. I already have Rivers. Should I make this deal?

Thanks again.

I like your team. I might drop Cam for a WR and then pick up a QB for Romo's bye. After the bye, keep Kitna and Romo to cover injuries. I would look at adding TOwens if he is available. May not play until October one, but could be a fantasy starter. You have a good team.

Also offered Ryan Williams, Beanie Wells for AJ Green and 2nd rd rook 2012 (turns into 1st rd if Wells get majority of rb reps)

I have avoided trading future rookie picks. But feel my team might require I change that philosophy.

Would an offer of 1st round rook 2012 be adequate compensation for Marshawn Lynch?

RBS: Charles, Vereen, Carter, Woodhead, Powell,TJones

WRS: AJohnson, Wallace, AJ Green, Welker

Are any of these something I should do? Any suggestions?

Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

I think I would keep your youth and picks, and try to acquire addai, hightower, or grant on the cheap you have a good young team, I would not mortgage it to address rb2

Per your suggestion, I tried to acquire these rbs but the asking price was too high (1st rd rookie picks, really?).

I got an offer of Lynch for Eli Manning. I already have Rivers. Should I make this deal?

Thanks again.

no way. Lynch is too pedestrian. I think I would go for Tolbert, Hightower, or even pick up Jerome Harrison off the waiver wire.

Hey Jeff:

I'm in a 1 player keeper that starts QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, TE, K, DST. Standard scoring, but QBs get 6 per TD and -1 per intro, and the roster is only 13 players. This year there is no position limit, so I drafted a bunch of RBs and WRs. I'll have to let at least 2 go before week 1 to get a K and DST. Who should get chopped, or should I be trying to use depth to trade for better starters? And how does the team look overall?

QB:

Rivers

RB:

Gore, Forte, Grant, F.Jackson, Tolbert, B.Jacobs

WR:

M.Williams (Bucs), Manningham, M.Thomas, L.Moore, A.J.Green

TE:

Graham

TIA

dump Green with the way Cincy is playing. I would then try to move either Thomas &/or Moore for another piece or combine for a WR upgrade, freeing up a roster spot. I like your RBs and would keep intact if possible

will be in and out of pocket for the next seven to ten days so please be patient if I need a day or two to get to questions. Thanks.

We are at pick 1.10 and Ryan Williams and Mikel LeShoure are on the board just wondering when you would pick them and then place them on your IR for the year we have 2 IR spots and I need RB's for the future would you take them at the 2.01 pick or would you wait even longer or not at all. This is a 14 team dynasty league so we are 4 picks away from my pick and some players that are still available are R. Cobb, S. Vereen, D. Carter, T, Smith, L. Hankerson, & J. Baldwin so I guess the reall question is would you rather have any of those players over an injuried Williams or LeShoure.

Here is my team.

QB's- J. Freeman, M. Stafford, D. Garrard

WR's- D. Williams, M. Ingram, B. Wells, B. Jacobs, T. Hightower

WR's- C. Johnson, H. Nicks, M. Crabtree, D. Bryant, A. Armstrong

TE's- K. Winslow, A. Hernandez

K- M. Crosby

DEF- San Diego
