I've got the 1.06 in one of my leagues. I wouldn't think I could package it with a Adams-level WR for the 1.01. Do you mind if I ask who made the initial offer?Just made my first trade of the offseason
gave: Adams and 1.6
got: 1.1 and 2.5
12 team PPR DYNASTY
I offered 1.04 and Diggs in a 10team PPR and got an instant no.
Quite the haul for 1.08jonrolly said:
That offer was probably his 4th or 5th to me, I sent several as well, we then agreed upon this one.
I’d take Kupp. He was a late second round pick last year and showed he can play. I think I’d hang on to him and see what he develops into. It could be something pretty good.
I think this is a steal to get Kupp...a real heist...the kid just posted 62-869-5 #'s as a rookie...that is an excellent rookie year for any rookie WR regardless of where they were drafted...now add in the fact he is on an offense with what appears to be an offensive Guru as the HC and a QB that was a #1 pick...could he be in a better situation? I am real high on Kupp and think he has a chance to be a WR that puts up big numbers for an extended period of time like Welker did with the Pats...I really don't see what an Owner thinks he is going to get at 1.12 that he already doesn't have with Kupp...
This thread is for completed trades please ask for advice in the correct forum at https://forums.footballguys.com/forum/forum/46-the-assistant-coach/
Well - I just reluctantly accepted, so it is now a completed trade. I already have buyer's remorse.
The longevity of what we hope Beckham's career will be is what makes this a steal. Plus the pick upgrade? Easy choice if you take bias out of it. The only reason it's viewed close is because Gurley just put up a monster season and Beckham was out.
Agreed. Assuming receiver isn't totally devalued in your league. There's a fair chance you can replace Gurley with Jones or Michel (not saying they're equal, just for your lineup) but you weren't getting a receiver I like nearly as much at the 9.
Hyperbole? Gurley is 23 years old. I will take Gurley's 20-25 PPG over Beckham with a new QB eventually. When requirements are start 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 2 Flex, I'll take the ability to start Gurley and trust I will get a nice player at 9.
With four WR/Flex positions and PPR? He could certainly help. Like everyone does, you're comparing Kupp's downside to the hypothetical upside.
You don't see how a receiver who finished as the 25th best receiver, as a rookie, might help win a championship as a flex?
That's a fair point. I'm so used to starting more WR than RB that I sometimes overlook that aspect.
I don’t see Kupp continuing to improve. Falling back when he has more competition for targets.
Probably a little bit of an exaggeration sure, I expect a very questionable guy at 9 so the pick upgrade makes this deal for me. You can still get one of Barkley, Guice, RoJo, Chubb, Michel, Ridley at 5 which, at least to me, is the tier drop, and getting a Tier2 player at 9 isn't too encouraging. Both Beckham and Gurley are studs so I don't view that too far apart. It's a little bit of recency bias in regards to these 2 which makes me think after 2018 their values will even out or reflect their true value. Gurley is inflated and OBJ is deflated right now, at least a little. I certainly wouldn't fault anyone for taking the Gurley side if they prefer to build on RB's rather than WR's.
Thought it was an even trade but in light of your RB situation and picks it looks like a good move for your team.
I think that's the break between us. I'm not necessarily calling kupp a top 12, but he seems a pretty safe low wr2 or strong wr3 in ppr. Whether that's worth more than a lottery ticket to get the next Hunt or juju is simply a matter of philosophy. I built my best Dynasty team by acquiring players I like, similar to kupp, for late 1sts, although that's a larger league which makes a difference.
Fuller and Engram pretty easily. Surprised Engram side got a pick and didn't have to give one.
I'm hesitant to say this but is that Luck for free? Even if you are pessimistic about his return that seems like the side by a wide margin no? Ingram in his last year with Saints most likely, also almost 29, Landry is a nice piece to have but that seems mitigated by getting Fournette and a guy who was not long ago the #1 overall QB. Maybe I'm overestimating the QB's here since I only play 2QB but give me Fournette/Luck/Doctson easily.
Not sure I'd even do Fournette alone for those three, much less with Luck and Doctson thrown in.
