Good question.Zyphros said:Except my issue with it is that he's undervalued compared to the Dallas Goedert's and Noah Fant's of the world. Both of who people view highly and will pay for as "the next TE" to join the Kittle/Kelce party but nobody talks about Tonyan. He's a throw in rather than a target which I don't get. I own him EVERYWHERE and nobody sniffs around, or if they do they want him for a 3rd?
Before the season everyone was grabbing 2/3 of Fant/Hockenson/Jonnu/Gesicki/Irv Smith/Ian Thomas. So people have realized mid season by now that there is no TE advantage from TE3-TE16 who in FFPC the difference is a negligible 5 FPPG. I get it. But why is Tonyan or Hurst for example the outliers that aren't worth a damn and the other "TE1's" are worth something?
Its a bad time to sell him although I don't know if you will get a better opportunity later on. I think the Bears may add a RB next year.Looking for wisdom of crowd here: what is David Montgomery Trade Value worth?
1). Is he worth a late 2021 Rd 1
2). Is he worth a mid 2021 Rd 2 plus a throw in player
3). Or, is he not worth much at all in the open market? Put another way, owners should hold an pray for better days
Input?Helaire-ious said:Waller value go up lately or something? Guy just offered him to me in PPR for my 2021 1st & Engram.I think that's too high...even if I didn't have Goedert
I drafted him at his May ADP, so don’t put too much stock in my take. But I’m convinced that a player’s odds of ever breaking out are ~halved every year that he doesn’t breakout. Akers should be worth about half of what he was to start the season, IMO. If you account for the strength of the 2020 class, especially at RB, especially compared to 2021, he should still demand a late 1st in 2021 currency. That’s the strongest argument I have. Beyond that, he’s a plus athlete with day 2 draft capital in a plus situation, should he ever demand the role they had in mind when they drafted him. And Brown is an UFA.Curious about Akers. I own him (got him as part of a trade when I traded away Saquon). I really want him to hit, and I really liked him early, but he just can't seem to get going. What do you see and what do you like?
This has been in my head since pre-season and I wish I had ignored it. (Even though part of me still sees the flashes and thinks Sternberger may still take that job)Good question.
I think Fant/Hock/Irv Smith/Gesicki have some draft capital in their favor along with youth as to why they are preferred to other possible options.
Tonyan is a UDFA who in some folks minds might just be a placeholder for Jace Sternberger who the Packers selected in the 3rd round 2019.
Seems high. That said, in a 12 team PPR start 1 TE Waller just went for Kirk and a 2022 2nd. And even that could seem high depending on your valuation of Kirk.Waller value go up lately or something?

Yeah I would bet on Tonyan at this point but who knows?This has been in my head since pre-season and I wish I had ignored it. (Even though part of me still sees the flashes and thinks Sternberger may still take that job)

Me too, but I can't get over my own sour grapes for not holding him where I had him. Yet. And who knows - Rodgers strikes me as one who would ultimately look out for number 1 and if he once again gets little offensive help this off-season (barring a Super Bowl) I could see him forcing his way out of town. Sure it's pretty out there but stranger things have happened.Yeah I would bet on Tonyan at this point but who knows?
Personally I am hoping Rodgers leaves Green Bay and then we wont care who their TE is anymore, but thats likely wishful thinking.
I haven’t tracked down the All-22, but he’s looked damn good at times—to me. If Akers is a buy, Henderson should probably be a sell, but I can’t do it. If you’re paying less than a 1st for each, I think they’re both good investments.I think its interesting Coop that you had Akers as a sell in October with Henderson a buy and now Akers is a buy but Henderson is not a sell.
I have seen Henderson look good at times. I didn't watch the game last night. The last time I looked at it the Rams offensive line was doing very well, which somewhat surprised me as none of their RB have been able to take the lions share of the work and Brown has been getting the more premium looks at the goal line and as a receiver.I haven’t tracked down the All-22, but he’s looked damn good at times—to me.

I think he’s worth that in one specific scenario: you’re a contender who he’d provide a material advantage or plug a hole for and the pick is guaranteed to be lateInput?
I like the odds of them being good enough to be the guy, relative to the cost to acquire. Henderson has shown that ability, IMO, and the profile suggests that Akers has a good shot. I trust that the staff has a valid reason to lean on Brown as much as they have been, but I expect it to be Akers and Henderson next season. No idea what the split will look like, however.I have seen Henderson look good at times. I didn't watch the game last night.

Will the Rams have a RB who is getting 60% or more of the touches in their offense or are they intentionally trying to keep this from happening?
Are any of these RB good enough to be that player? Based on you thinking Henderson and Akers are buys, I would guess you think both of them are good enough.
If they aren't then they are at risk of losing playing time to someone who is I think, even if they intend to keep splitting opportunities.
First one is an easy decline. I'd have to think very hard about the other one though (I do value Claypool and Diontae more than consensus)Just wanted to let y’all know about a couple of offers I received in two different dynasty leagues. Both leagues are 12 team PPR full dynasty
Was offered Keenan Allen and Jacobi Meyers for CEH in one league.
Was offered Diontae Johnson, Claypool and a 4th rd pick for Davante Adams. I declined both.
I would have accepted the second one. Adams is turning 28 next month. That’s not exactly old, but his owners are running out of time if they’re looking for this kind of exit value.First one is an easy decline. I'd have to think very hard about the other one though (I do value Claypool and Diontae more than consensus)
Waller is one of basically 2 reliable TEs available in the entire NFL right now.Helaire-ious said:Waller value go up lately or something? Guy just offered him to me in PPR for my 2021 1st & Engram.I think that's too high...even if I didn't have Goedert
That one was tempting. I’m 7-4 and fighting for the playoffs and just couldn’t give Adams up.I would have accepted the second one. Adams is turning 28 next month. That’s not exactly old, but his owners are running out of time if they’re looking for this kind of exit value.
Any adjustment to your thinking for the unusual circumstances that this year's rookies fell into? Lack of everything?I drafted him at his May ADP, so don’t put too much stock in my take. But I’m convinced that a player’s odds of ever breaking out are ~halved every year that he doesn’t breakout. Akers should be worth about half of what he was to start the season, IMO.

Beyond that, he’s a plus athlete with day 2 draft capital in a plus situation, should he ever demand the role they had in mind when they drafted him. And Brown is an UFA.
Agreed. You wouldn't get that kind of value in most leagues I think.I would have accepted the second one. Adams is turning 28 next month. That’s not exactly old, but his owners are running out of time if they’re looking for this kind of exit value.
If I didn't have Goedert, I may have done it. I am 7-4 & competitive this season. Should I really do this deal? Nothing too great coming out rookie wise mid to late 2021 pick? We start 2 flex so I can still start Waller w/Goedert, though. Maybe counter offering Golladay straight up for Waller? But then I am still stuck with Engram who would never start for me after that...I agree with others that Waller is worth a 1st plus a TE prospect like Engram although I wouldn't call Engram a bust. He was better with Eli. I think Engram is a buy actually, he is pretty talented and no one seems to like him now.
Makes sense for a team not contending this season to do a deal like that. Makes sense for any competitive team to get the guy making a difference right now.
Its probably "fair" value, but I think you could command more for Brown. I would have to get a 1st with Sanders to even think about it personally.& now I was offered Miles Sanders for my AJ Brown & a 2021 2nd (Would be mid to late) PPR league
Even though RB is where I need depth (Start 2 RB + 2 flex & I have nothing worth a crap behind CMC, CEH & Robinson), I think I prefer AJB here.
Should I be taking this deal? I think I'd rather counter with offering Golladay straight up for Sanders...
Trying to get Mixon w/Waller from him. Can't figure out what WR to add to my 2021 1st (mid to late) & Engram. Won't be AJ Brown, Allen or ARob. I'm not sure he'd say yes if it were a guy like Aiyuk or Antonio Brown, though. Maybe add Golladay, but I think I might be overpaying at that point?If I didn't have Goedert, I may have done it.

Good q. In one 1/2 ppr league, I’ve had his whole career. I think I would consider selling him this offseason. Not sure what I would want. Probably a 1st + upside TE like Irv Smith or similar.A little forward thinking, but with the current tight end landscape, what do you think Kelce's trade value will be in terms of draft picks in the offseason? Think both regular and TE premium leagues.
31 now and heading into his final year of his contract (though I fully expect them to extend that at some point).
As a contender what would you pay to get him? What would it take to let him go whether you are a contender or not?
If you believe this then you have no choice but to sit on him and wait for his value to go up.There have been a few mentions in this thread the past few months about Robert Tonyan, but nobody has really said anything about him. I find it hard to believe I couldn't get much for him as a trade away guy for my compete teams (that's the only place I own him). He should easily be considered top10 dynasty TE's. He's only 26, is an athletic freak, trains with Kittle and Hockenson in the offseason, and is becoming more and more trusted by Rogers and more involved. Why aren't people talking about him that much and what is his value?
In my TE premium league, I’m holding and riding into the ground. He gives such an amazing weekly advantage over other teams that I’ll ride him into the sunset and deal with the ramifications later. (Granted, I also have Andrews and start them both in FFPC). But I’ll be grabbing a young TE like Trautman off waivers (FFPC doesn’t have deep benches and only keep 14 non-K/DST players) in the next week or 2 for dirt cheap for the off-season and we’ll see if he makes my keeper cut.A little forward thinking, but with the current tight end landscape, what do you think Kelce's trade value will be in terms of draft picks in the offseason?

I own him and don’t think I’d sell him for less than 2 high firsts but only if I were in a full rebuild.So what would you pay to get him?
It's very unlikely you would get that for him in any scenario for a variety of reasons.I own him and don’t think I’d sell him for less than 2 high firsts but only if I were in a full rebuild.
Yeah, we’ll, like I said, I only own him on a win-now team, so my view of him is definitely biased and I will ride this horse to the glue factory.It's very unlikely you would get that for him in any scenario for a variety of reasons.
Also, if that's what you are holding out for in a rebuild, that's a mistake. Holding him next year kills at least 33% of his future value. He isnt going to play at a high level forever.
He signed an extension already, very team friendly.ghostguy123 said:final year of his contract (though I fully expect them to extend that at some point).
As a contender what would you pay to get him? What would it take to let him go whether you are a contender or not?
And you wonder if that guy is planning to leave the league after this yeaHe signed an extension already, very team friendly.
I don't know what I'd pay to get him but every time I've traded for an older "win now" player it's been a bad deal so I'd be out. But someone in one of my leagues said last week a contending team of theirs dealt Barkley and a mid first for Kelce and Kupp.
I paid, 1.06, 1.07, 2021 1st and 2nd for Kelce/Woods in April. In my opinion, there's not a price that's too high for the best fantasy TE in the league in TE premium. Same is true in superflex if you transfer that philosophy. You want Mahomes? Pay up the wazoo for him. Kelce/Woods is a huge reason why I'm the #1 seed in that FFPC league going into the playoffs.So what would you pay to get him?
If I can get basically any two 1sts for him in the offseason I would likely take it.I paid, 1.06, 1.07, 2021 1st and 2nd for Kelce/Woods in April.

By now, 1 year later basically, Kelce has gone down in value, but if you have the capital to do it and not cripple your team, something close doesn't seem outlandish to me. The premium you get from premium positions when it comes to scoring is such a huge advantage.
As a Bears fan, I would like to say keeping Montgomery, but he is not being used to his fullest potential in Chi. I like package 2 better in Edwards and Myers. I don't like Rbs in NE, too many and never know how they are going to be used.David Montgomery Value—
which package below makes more sense for a team looking to make a run in 2022?
1). Montgomery and 2021 Rd 4 for Damien Harris and 2021 Rd 2?
2). Montgomery and 2021 Rd 4 for Bryan Edwards, Jakobi Myers and 2021 Rd 2?
I would lean towards Akers here as I think he will grow to become a focal point of Rams running game these next few years. Gaskin while competent, is likely more of a placeholder in Miami.Looking into your crystal ball for next year.... who would you rather grab now for next year ..
Gaskin
or
Akers
Have the opportunity to add either one to an offer to acquire, but not sure which one to add.
A couple games into the season I gave Kirk and a 2021 first for Golladay.Thoughts on Golladays value in PPR? I’m currently the #2 seed but my WR depth is terrible with Adams, Julio, Golladay and Deebo my only viable WRs. Not sure Julio is going to make it through the season and I could see the Lions shutting Golladay down with the season lost. Thinking about selling Kenny for someone who can help my playoff run. I’m know this is a sell low moment for Kenny so I’m not going to get equal value but this is likely my one shot at a run before I blow this team up. What type of WR from a non-contending team would you expect in return?
My preference is Akers, if only for the upside. I see Miami possibly drafting a RB next year.Looking into your crystal ball for next year.... who would you rather grab now for next year ..
Gaskin

Akers

Agreed. I think Akers has much more long term upside. Seems like Gaskin/Ahmed are holding down the fort nicely, but Flores will want to surround Tua with more powerful weapons and they have the draft capital to do so.My preference is Akers, if only for the upside. I see Miami possibly drafting a RB next year.

I’m not a believer, and also prefer Akers, but isn’t this Gaskin’s second year?Akers.
Gaskin has been in the league a long time already. This season has likely been his most relevant. It wont last.
