What's market value of Calvin Johnson right now? (1 Viewer)

Rick James

If anyone has traded him (or traded for him) recently, what did you get (give)?

I'm talking about redraft leagues here. I doubt anyone is thinking about trading him in a dynasty league.

Before the season in a keep 6 I traded Marshal and Juilo Jones and Vernon Davis for Aaron Hernandez a pick and Calvin. The pick turned into Hightower.

 
Offered Ray Rice and V Jax yesterday, he rejected. Redraft.

Also offered MJD and Wallace, he rejected. Redraft.

Those both seem like fair offers to me, but it's tough to trade Calvin.
They do seem fair but maybe the Calvin owner is just fine at RB so ultimately a could be a downgrade to his lineup.That's the case with me. With Gore and the Oakland backfield, I felt a straight up offer of Ray Rice made little to no sense at all. Some of the offers are stupid.....I hate when teams just throw a player at you and don't consider why it may not be a good fit.

He does have Sproles, Bradshaw and Beanie. That's it though. I tried to give him Brees and Wallace for Rivers and Megatron but also no dice.
 
I have an owner in my league that has been hounding me for weeks.

I went to him and offered Doucet for his Jonathon Stewart since I have Best and McFadden...he declined, even though his receiving corps is Greg Little, Reggie Wayne and Eric Decker (his backfield is Rice, Forte, Beanie, J-Stew).

He came back with Rice in some sort of package, which means he wants more than just Calvin. I declined and figure I will pick up Quizz Rodgers or Chris Ivory until McFadden gets back. Not ideal, but better than dumping my top player.

 
Traded him and Beanie for Fred Jackson, Schaub, Crabtree, Floyd and Pierre Thomas. Did it after Beanie got injured, since I was in a position where I needed a win the next two weeks with Beanie possibly/out against Baltimore and then Calvin on bye. Hasn't really worked out as Calvin and Beanie outperformed my players the first week despite winning and then I lost this week with Fred Jackson having a poor fantasy game.

 
this Calvin trade took place in my league:

Traded Steven Jackson RB

Percy Harvin WR

Hakeem Nicks WR

For

Ronnie Brown RB

Reggie Bush RB

Calvin Johnson WR

It's a Dynasty salary cap league, but Calvin's salary next year of $160 ($500 cap) makes him very hard to keep.

Would you take Brees/Wallace for Rivers/Calvin if you were him? I would not.

Absolutely when Rivers is your only QB and he has Andre and Welker at WR. And when Brees has 100 more points than Rivers and Wallace has 27 less than Calvin.

It's going to take me giving him Rice and Wallace for Calvin if a deal is going to happen and even with my RB depth I'm not sure I'm ready to take that leap.
You'd have to be a fool to make that deal.

Welcome to making trades in my league.

You said nothing about Welker and Andre before.Rivers put up a ton of yards and TD's on Sunday, and Calvin is just coming back from his bye, I don't think your offer was well timed.

Okay, well I offered that last week. But yeah, if I offered it now I wouldn't expect a bite just because of bye weeks ahead.

Don't think Welker and Andre matter. Brees/Wallace for Rivers/Calvin is more than enough value.

Throw out other players and I disagree. Rivers has the potential to play at Brees' level for the rest of the year. Wallace is a very good receiver but I do not think his ceiling is close to Calvin's.
 
3 - 6 team, that is last in points for and standings, just traded Calvin for Graham, Murray and what will likely be 1.2 rookie pick. 1ppr start 2rb/3wr/1te, Dynasty.

His wrs are Julio, Djax, Dez, Colston and Antonio brown going forward, and his RBs are now Murray, Felix, Wells, Lynch, Ingram.

We'll see how it works out for him. Upgraded from Kendricks/Marcedes to Graham at TE.

Overall he'll probably have the 1.1 and 1.2 picks next year.

It's a contract years, and Calvin will be a FA again in 2013, where he goes to the highest bidder. Murray/Graham both have 4 year contracts. (100 max) for each team.

So he just traded Calvin for 2 guys he will start at TE and RB the remainder of the year, and will add Luck and either Blackmon or Richardson. Now that is a good trade.
 
In my dynasty league, I probably field 2 offers per week for Calvin. So far, no one has came close to what it would take to pry him off my roster. The most recent one was 3 1st rounders in 2012 (as of this writing those picks would be 1.2, 1.6, 1.12); Before that, the offer was Wallace and Tebow (I lol'd); The one before that was Fred Jackson and Mike Wallace for Calvin and my 1st next year.

In my main redraft I also have Calvin and was offered Rodgers straight up for him and turned it down. Had I needed a QB, I might have been interested (I have Eli, and the step down at WR would have killed me, despite the bump at QB).

It's nearly impossible to trade for Calvin at this point in the year. His owner is either in competition and doesn't want to get rid of him or out of competition and doesn't see the point.

You don't trade just for upside, you trade for the range of probable outcomes. When you weight all the probable outcomes, the deal provides more than enough value for Calvin.
 
Was just traded for Beanie Wells + 4th round pick next year in 14-team re-draft (PPR) in my league.

I'll take the Calvin/Rivers side of that deal, especially with week 11 byes.
