What did you get for slaton? (1 Viewer)

What's not to like about Slaton? He looks like another Domanick Davis to me (although hopefully healthier). I'm think a lot of posters from 2 weeks ago are pretty bummed to have let Slaton go.

 
another nice game this week and his value goes way up, looks like the trades are getting better for him
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.
Interesting. I will post any potential Slaton trade here if it happens.

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.

In one of my leagues a team just traded Slaton straight up for R.Brown......Now you may say that's not so bad! But I'm not talking about Ronnie but

Brown, Reggie PHI WR. It is a ppr league and after last week Slaton is #12 in points per week. To make matters worse we keep 2off,1def,and one Rookie per yr so starting rookie Rbs are like gold. At best Reggie is a #3wr but when Curtis comes back he may not be playable with the emergence of D Jackson.The team posted that he was willing to trade Slaton for a WR at 6:30 last night and pulled the trigger on first offer at 7:15 or so.You may say I'm just mad I did not get him but I have SJAX and LT in that league and no depth at WR so I could not make an offer.

I own Slaton in my other league along with SJAX and Lynch same rules as other league and would not even consider trading him for less than a top 10 Wr at this point. Especially with the game against Indy this week. When I posted on website that I thought it was a bad trade he got all upset.Just wondered if you guy think I'm putting to much value on Slaton?

Just in case you wonderd what his Rbs and Wrs looked like after trade

Grant, Ryan GBP RB

Jones, Thomas NYJ RB

Norwood, Jerious ATL RB

Turner, Michael ATL RB

Berrian, Bernard MIN WR

Brown, Reggie PHI WR

Engram, Bobby SEA WR

Henderson, Devery NOS WR

Houshmandzadeh, T.J. CIN WR

Johnson, Bryant SFO WR

Welker, Wes NEP WR

Its bad form to trade a guy and then tell everyone in your league how you fleeced him, good luck trading the rest of the year with your league members!
 
Did you read? I did not make the trade.

Ah sorry bout that.....Slaton is def. better option than Reggie IMO.

Did you read the whole thing? I was not involved in the trade.
 
Dynasty IDP contract league PPR. I think Slaton makes a fine PPR player on the receiving side of things but decided to sell high after he burned a Colts team that has struggled big against the run.

Traded Slaton and Josh Reed for Jerious Norwood, TJ Houshmanzadeh, Anthony Fasano, and Channing Crowder.

 
I was able to land Andre Johnson for him in one of my leagues.

We are allowed to keep one player per season in place of your 4th round pick in the proceeding year (player being kept had to be drafted in the 5th round or later). I already have Chris Johnson as a keeper candidate for next year, so Slaton was expendable for the right price.

ppr dynasty league -- traded slaton and anthony gonzalez for randy moss
:goodposting: Seriously?
yeah, you think that's lopsided? (if so, which way?)
You got hosed.As a dynasty (not PPR) owner of Moss, I would jump all over that on nay given Sunday. I'm not rebuilding. I'm never somebody who wants to sacrifice the present for the future, unless the situation is grim. I'm not the biggest Slaton fan, either...But I'd jump all over the chance to get a starting RB and Anthony Gonzalez for Moss. See Ya!
 
I'm in a keeper PPR league. I get to choose 3 players for next season and it's beginning to look like he might be one of them. It's a debate between Romo, Bush, Slaton, and Jennings.

 
I received an offer of Gates for Slaton. 1/2 PPR league, 8 Keepers. Not sure if I'm going to take it or not... I'm not really sold on Slaton as a top back, but he is in the right system to thrive and still has a good schedule upcoming.

 
Last week I offered Slaton for Tony Gonzalez. My TEs are terrible (Sciancoe and Stevens). The owner rejected my offer, but I wasn't worried. Sure enough, Slaton tore up Indy and the Gonzalez owner wants Slaton now.

This trade will happen tomorrow unless the Witten owner trades me for Gore.

This is a Dynasty salary cap league. So since I have Gore and Peterson, it's unlikely I'd be able to keep both Gore and Peterson since their caps figures will be high. So I see this as a chance to land the top TE in fantasy football in Witton.

unless you really really need a running back that seems like a bad trade for the moss owner to me, Moss is going to be a top receiver for at least another 2-3 years imo...
 
offers/trades sitting about the same or getting better now days? or are people really holding onto him now?

Awhile back, I traded Slaton for Tony Gonzalez in my Dynasty league. A week later, the guy traded Slaton for Kurt Warner. Not a great Dynasty trade, but the guy really needed help at QB.
 
Hold, the passing attack has been really deadly so there will be some lanes to run through and stevie slates can hit the homerun. Not worried about the tough run d's coming up either because of his excellent receiving ability and should still get some goal line looks. Enjoy the ride.

 
I was curious on gameday to see how he would do - I am pleasantly surprised he did that well and he is getting some attention from other owners. I would love to hear what he is going for, so keep the reports coming.Personally I have a decent RB depth, so I may try and move him. Thinking of pairing him up with Warner for a top Qb to a team that is struggling with RBs. Maybe to the FWP owner, too.
Pairing him WITH Warner or FOR Warner? Warner ranks only behind Brees, and not by much...who is this QB you're going after?

Last week I got Marshall for Slaton and Holmes.

My starting lineup looks like:

QB- Warner

RB- SJax, LenDale/Chris Johnson

WR/TE- Fitz, Marshall, Jennings

K-Prater

DST-TB

 
Could get Cutler for Slaton. Need QB help badly, but with LT on bye this week, I may have to hit the ww for a qb for this week and maybe trade Slaton next week. Other RB's are L-Lew and Torain, so I should be ok w/o Slaton.

I am not doing this anymore. I was thinking Brees at the time, to trade Slaton and Warner for Brees, but I waited it out, and kept Warner. I made a trade for Slaton for Ocho Stinko, thinking he could turn it around, so I still made a bad deal, lol. But it didn't hurt me too badly, as I wound up getting Chris Johnson through other trades to cover for Bush while he is out.

Nice lineup - I think you should try to get a WW RB to insure for some depth, but other than that, it's solid.
Traded Slaton and LT for Barber III and R. Wayne. What do you think?
Many people here are loving LT's schedule left, so I am unsure of what to think at this point. Barber's sched isn't easy and Wayne has been less than stellar. Pretty even trade, if you have another RB other than Barber, since you sacraficed for some depth when trading 2 RBs.
