just thought I'd clarify, I'm the one that moved Ajayi, had quite a few running backs, likely taking another at 1.6 which I also own. I also made the move to create space to keep another guy as I'm struggling to get down to 16 at the upcoming cut date. I thought it made sense for both of us and it isn't a super active league so it isn't that easy to find partners.
I'm quite bummed I have not gotten a single offer for him in a return yards league.
and none of these trades indicated they were return yardage leagues which makes it worse.
This is all true and part of the gain for a team ridding Ajayi and loss for team getting him is value of each the extra roster spot gained or loss in a league you can only keep 14 position players. That matters. The trade is one where you look at it and can see where it helped both sides so I considered the trade good for both sides.
I would want side getting Cooper even if I was not motivated by needing roster space.
I would take Cooper but I like Allen a lot. Just not really high on any of the other parts
Yep. I traded him for 1.9 in that league. I was turned down for 1.8 in another. Offered Gronk for Ebron and 1.4 in a league and was shot down too.
Deal would have been close without Gurley on the AROB side. As is I'd take that side easily
Lack of capitalization had me miss Gurley originally, and my thinking went:
He also got an 18 first.
Disagree, very good chance like I said. I'm not convinced Dez out scores Tyreek Hill let alone all three. I think given the right QB Anderson may push Dez type points. I think Dez is overrated and a head case on top of that.
How do you figure? don't just run your chops give an opinion. Tell me how I am so wrong. I already said I turned it down, how are you so positive Dez Bryant is worth more?
I suspect I'll be in the minority here but give me the 1st and Olsen. I think Olsen and Jordy have roughly the same tread left on their tires
Tyreek Hill is a gimmick type, that relied on some long TDs for fantasy production last season with Maclin out. You can't rely on that.
Dez consistent not last year, Hill was a gimmick type this year agreed but sounds like will be a starting WR next year. But your such an expert to blurt out "such a bad take" why are we suppose to have any faith in that statement? I'm just saying some of you aren't the all knowing experts you think you are & should read what you write before you post it. If Hill shows out and out scores Dez again and Anderson matches Dez that still doesn't give me the right to try and make you look stupid. Chill the attitude youngster.Dr. Octopus said:
I can't speak for the OP and his reasoning, but imo Olsen doesn't get a lot of love in fantasy. He's a steady, solid performer, but he doesn't have the excitement surrounding him that others like Ebron, Kelce and Ertz have.
Dez was WR12 last year in PPG. He had three single-digit games, and two of them came against NYG when Dak was awful in a rookie season. That's very forgivable.
I suspect this board would probably side with a random future 1st over nelson even without olsen.
Agreed and the fact that I turned down the trade I referenced and kept Dez means I agree with the odds, the fact that I said "I may regret it" does not make it "such a bad take" and shows a certain arrogance on the posters part was my point.
It's not even an argument that right now Dez is worth more.
I responded to your comment to me. I didn't say "bad take" and I don't claim to be an expert. What would be the point of this thread and this board, if people didn't give opinions? You gave an opinion (which is ok I guess) but if some one disagrees by stating their opinion that means they are coming across as "all knowing experts"?
No, it's not return yardage league. As you know this game we play is all about timing. I sold Ware when his price was at it's peak. I sold Hill when all the chatter is about his potential greatness. No other player has been spoken about so much than Hill over the last two months (except Brady). Sell high, by low!
mainly because I think Olsen gets no respect (nor do a good number of TE's in general, it is all about the WR these days in dynasty) and Jordy gets a lot of love since he plays with Rodgers but I stand corrected
No you said he could "push Dez for points". I laid out reasons why that's extremely unlikely. Admittedly I could turn out to be wrong, but sometimes good process doesn't lead to good results. Predicting Robbie Anderson could score on par with Dez is bad process (imo). but that doesn't mean it can not happen, just that if it does it was probably just a lucky guess.
Well, nelson did score a LOT more than Olsen (even with 1.5 ppr for TEs), but like I mentioned before, I think at least half this forum would side with a random future 1st over Nelson straight up. Adding Olsen probably puts it at 95% I would imagine.Aunt Jemima said:
#1 I didn't say you said "Bad Take" someone else said it and this whole thing started because I asked him for an opinion why and not just to bash me like he was some super FFLer.Dr. Octopus said:
You may want to go back and re-read your posts because you say a lot of things and then say you didn't say it and then ironically call me out for not reading "what's going on". This is my last post on this though because I don't want to muck up this thread. I just wanted to set the record straight.

OK I'm done also you are taking things out of context and I'm not going to argue with you about it, I meant push Dez type numbers from last year which is only about 60 points different in my league and totally possible with the right QB, not an impossible feat at all. Again my last post as well a useless argument. Dez was the 41st receiver in my PPR league and I don't call that consistently good.
On a team that doesn't run a lot of passing plays. I suppose Dallas doesn't either so maybe that's minor. I'm just working through this in my head. So I can get Dez for Hill? I may need to start shopping.ConnSKINS26 said:
Like connskins said, Gurley really tipped the scales.
