What did you get for slaton? (1 Viewer)

Start 2 QB deep keeper league TE required. First team now starts Barber, Portis, Jackson with Slaton on the bench. Second team is trying to rebuild after starting with Brady, Vince Young, Tarvaris Jackson and Randy Moss.

QB Ben Roethlisberger, PIT

RB Jonathan Stewart, CAR

RB Chris Johnson, TEN

WR Chad Johnson, CIN

TE Todd Heap, BAL

QB Vince Young, TEN

RB Steven Jackson, STL

RB Ryan Torain, DEN

RB Steve Slaton, HOU

TE Antonio Gates, SD

 
I was offered Driver and Royal for Slaton. I passed and sent Coles for Royal.

RB's are just too hard to come by these days to trade for a WR without potential to be elite IMO.

 
i sold him high, if he blows up so be it. i got gates in a pinch.

barring injury slaton would never start on my team.

 
jus sent slaton/scheffler in a package to get ryan grant
I have Portis and Forte as my starters, and Grant prolly won't see the line-up and lets just say I had VD at TE and it was the only position that was not producing!All in all good move for both involved based on needs!GRANTBRUCEROYAL (TE)FORSCHEFFLERSLATONWELKER
 
got welker in a dynasty league for him after week 1 - already have a slew of RBs and had zero WRs.
I also got Welker for him -- 12-team PPR keeper league, but rookies can be kept for 2 additional seasons, which increases Slaton's potential value. I am ok at RB (S. Jackson, Lynch, LandWhale, Dunn, Mendenhall) but was desperate at WR (Andre Johnson, Roy Williams, and the reach of the week)...

basically grant for welker, slaton and scheffler, nice work
 
Had an owner inquire about him before last weeks game, but I told him I was going to hang on to him. Just sent him an offer of Slaton for one of Burress/Holt/Bowe. Im thinking he'll agree to give me Holt, but Im hoping he comes back with Bowe, or counters with Slaton and a pick for Burress. We'll see.

 
Welp, cant get Bowe or Plax, but can get Holt for him. Probably going to take it, my wr's are hurting.
Your WR's will still be hurting after you make that trade too. I would try and package him with someone else to get one of the other receivers. The Rams look to be the worst team in the NFL right now, offense and defense. I have Holt myself ((Rams fan too) and I would be more than happy to take Slaton for Holt all day long.With that said, I may be getting Colston for Slaton and Matt Jones.....
 
Anyone planning on NOT trading him and playing him? I think this kid has a future.
I want to see how he does vs Jax. I always like to keep a 3rd RB in case of injury. I had Lynch step in to fill Ronnie's shoes last season. You never know when an injury will happen. That said, I drafted moss with 1.08 in a PPR, and I could really use a strong / low end #1 wr. I could trade one of my 2 rb's and let Slaton step into RB2, or trade Slaton himself. Depends on offers, but yes, I'm holding, I want to see more.
 
16 teamer. Redraft.Was offered T.Owens for Slaton and Roddy.My team is super deep. Probably wont accept. Have ABoldin, SSmith and Roddy.
:toilet: I'd be tempted to jump on that. Roddy's a nice player, but with a rookie QB, he could be up/down all season.Seeing some of these deals, I don't feel so bad. I traded Slaton/Griese for AJohnson/Mendenhall (before FWP's injury news) and got slammed for fleecing the other owner.
 
Welp, cant get Bowe or Plax, but can get Holt for him. Probably going to take it, my wr's are hurting.
I was able to get Holt, and hold onto Slaton. Pierre Thomas, Ginn, 6th rounder (16 team keep 3) for Holt and Jason Wright.I just didnt feel comfortable giving up Slaton. Might be a good time to trade him, but I drafted this kid for a reason. He could end up saving me with MJD and J-Lew as my starters...
 
His #1 pick for my Last pick.
Why do people care about this after the season starts? I have had people try to use that in trade negotiations "He was my first pick, I have to get more for him"Once the season starts, it is irrelevant where you selected these players - the only thing that is relevant is their current production and anticipated production.Draft position/FA only matters at this point to determine if you were able to get value when making your decisions.

Who are your RBs?Unless you are forced to play Slaton every week at RB, you should accept this trade. TO will be a weekly stud at WR - which is a rarity in 16 team leagues where only 8 or 9 of you can count on that kind of production from your WR1.Dynasty, my answer is a little different :blackdot:

The thing is, if I let 'em go, I want a top RB. Turner, McFadden, Slaton, Perry, Thomas, Jordan.And again this is 16 teams, my depth for 13 more weeks is hard for me to surrender.Damn you guys. You've made me re-consider it.But I am really trying to get Barber, though that owner wanted quite a bit more. (Boldin,Slaton,Perry -- MBarber RoyWilliams).

Take the second one if RB is your target. Take the first if you are in a PPR league.Both offers are to your benefit (IMO)
 
i got a 2nd rnd pick next season which should be from a bottom 4 team
you think you'll be able to get a better running back in the second next year than slaton :thumbup:
Oh, I thought he's just had one decent game as a starter on a mediocre team. Maybe we're discussing a different Steve Slaton than I thought, considering the nonsense being thrown around in here. If he stinks two weeks in a row, this thread disappears.

It's not approaching Chris Johnson level nonsense, so we have lots of room to grow!

well I was more thinking he went in the first round my two rookie drafts this year, so it seems kinda dumb to me, maybe you got him alot later than that.

A week later and I have no idea who came out better in this trade.

that's exactly where i am too. i like having a 3rd full time RB just in case injury strikes or poor performance. slaton has been way more than i could have hoped for, and i'm just hoping i struck gold and it can continue. i doubt i would want to move him and have him continue to perform well. i want to see more as well.

Wow, getting angry over nothing. Here I'll rephrase to ease your mind: "Moss for Slaton". What a difference. I see your point.
 
12 Team Redraft- Just had an offer Campbell for my Slaton.

I'm hurting with PITT as I have Ben AND Holmes.

Trying to send Perry instead.

 
Just sent Slaton for FWP & Vincent Jackson.

2 player Keeper league. BTW - My RB's are ADP, LJ, JStew, Hightower, Felix Jones, K Smith, and now FWP. So I didn't really need him, and I could use the help at WR. Doubt Slaton would have beat out ADP, LJ, or Stew, Fitz, FWP, or McNabb as a keeper

Exactly. I mentioned in Fear and Loathing's Dynasty thread that I need to trade Slaton for some TE talent. I proposed a trade with the Tony Gonzales owner and was turned down. I think Slaton does well vs. Indy and I get another offer for Slaton next week.

This is my thinking as well - I am considering whether Slaton plus Winslow is a good offer for Gates.

You must really be down on Winslow huh? Despite his bad start he is still TE5 in my PPR league. If I was the Gates owner I'd jump on that right away, not that that means anything.

Yeah - the last two games have been scary for me in non-PPR leagues. I am really down on Winslow, and really high on Gates. In a PPR, I'd probably offer Slaton straight up for Gates (as this thread suggested) and expect to at least not be laughed at.ETA - though Winslow is on pace for more targets this year than last, and in PPR leagues he is pretty good, his lone target in the red zone in 4 games is something to be really scared about in non-PPR leagues. The flip side is that he might return closer to last year's red zone numbers, in which case, he is due for a lot of red zone targets from here on out. My response is that Gates is more likely to have more chances from this point forward than Winslow.

What do you think the likelihood of Winslow and the Browns turning it around, and actually getting an increase in red zone targets though? I would like to think that they have a decent shot to do so, but I am far from convinced.
