Give me gronk and I'll throw in a 2nd, geez. Both injury risks but gronk>>>>>>Watkins when healthy. Maybe you get some longevity but that's just more years of goff-Sammy. Watkins is one of those highly touted rookies that maybe pans out but his perceived value is higher than his actual value.
I am in a redraft with this setup, which is likely why I find it intriguing.
Curious how this trade went down? Did he send to you...you to him...back and forth negotiations?drewd_21 said:
He sent Gronk and 2018 3rd for Sammy out of the blue, I declined as I wasn't looking to rush out to sell Sammy yet and I told him as much. After a few days I sent him the offer that went down expecting him to decline, which I would have happily lived with and moved on....woke up this morning and he'd accepted.
I actually opened my league page to check to see if this was my league, then I thankfully realized I still own Howard. Thought I made a stupid drunk trade for a minute. That's literally awful.
Most of these trades are very bad for you.
Evans, Jordy, Davante Adams, Diggs, Britt, Jordan Matthews, Rishatd Matthews and a few others. RB depth is impossible to obtain without overpaying in this league. When I'm starting Martin instead of a Jalen Richard type in week 4, I doubt ill lament Watkins and if Freeman goes down Ill still be making a run with Coleman. The difference between Adams or Diggs vs Tyreek? I guess ill have to live with it.
IMO the team getting Mixon and Njoku won by a lot, but I have 0 faith in Dixon becoming anything. Next year is another strong RB class. I'd be shocked if the Ravens didn't grab someone capable of being a star (who hasn't lost a year to injury or been suspended for PEDs).
How? I mean with trades like this and all.
Well Top 3 for this season at least (and he's a Vikes fan so probably overvaluing Diggs). He has won the league twice in 8 years as well
Ok redraft mentality I can see valuing Shady over Ajayi, but that's still a free Cooper whose a 1st round pick to some. This is an ugly one and I'd be pissed if I was in this league.
I kind of think viewing it as a free Cooper undervalues Diggs, who I like a lot. I surely think the team getting Ajayi-Cooper wins the deal but McCoy is the type of RB I can see surviving past 30 and still being effective and is an upgrade (and could be significant) over Ajayi for 2017 in ppr.
I agree. I know expectations are high for Pierre this season but the shelf life is limited. Reed is a difference maker when healthy. He could have complemented Reed with a serviceable option in the draft. I don't know his rationale... maybe targeting one of the rookie TEs.
Seems light for Henry but I'm unfamiliar with Zealots scoring. Rivers tore his ACL a couple days ago and D. Henry seems like a steal in non-ppr.
Cooper side handilyDr. Octopus said:
I own rawls and would probably trade him for this. Seattle RB's messy and Rawls is a question mark. Would rather bank the roster spot and pick up the 2nd.
It is... haven't talked to the guy moving Reed. Like I said, maybe he is in man love with one of the rookies or tired of the injury history.
I don't know if this is good or bad value for either side, but I love that he traded Derrick Henry for a guy named Derek and another guy with the last name Henry. That is the epitome of "splitting" a player's value.
Terrible value. You have to use two roster spots to get the same amount of Derrick Henry.
Just curious if the guy getting the later picks was able to pick up Mahomes or Kizer at 2.04. Otherwise seems like an unwise move. Unless he is completely stacked at QB already
