There is a dichotomy (or is it schizophrenia?) about high draft picks, isn't there?Yeah I tried moving him for 1.01 in an FFPC league (to a team that is not rebuilding or anything) and he countered with 1.07/Hopkins for 1.01
Rebuilding or not, I wouldn't want to pay the 1.1 for Hopkins.Ā
But at the same time, I don't think Harris or Chase are more valuable than Hopkins.

Footballguy
Why?Ā Seems like other owners with differing values on players are exactly who you should be looking to trade with.Ā
Blick
Footballguy
Because I donāt have the energy to negotiate with someone when their opening offer is 1.06/Hopkins for 1.01.Ā

I can see that. He's already putting you in sort of a losing situation if you're thinking about reaching a center point between the two. That's a lot to ask.

I have Nick Chubb on one championship and two rebuilding Zealots leagues. I think he's a better back than Dalvin Cook and might even think he's the best back in the league.
But it appears I'm on an island with that. In the rebuilding leagues I know I wouldn't get what I'd expect to in ac trade return - a couple high picks/players.
Do people really fear Kareem Hunt stealing touches that much? I just think Hunt is inordinately productive for a #2 back and doesn't really take anything from Chubb.
So what is he worth in trade?

I think Chubb is the better runner, probably the best in the league. But he's never going to catch a lot of balls so that caps his upside.

99% of the time they don't have different values, they're just looking to rob somebody. Not worth the energy for me to deal with people like that.Ā

For sure. I like Chubb a lot but I watched him drop 3 balls in the playoff game. Really easy balls. I have him ranked pretty high but I understand why others don't.ĀHe's not McCaffrey, but he caught 36 in 2019. That's not nothing.
rockaction
Footballguy
Chubb's 25, so he's beginning the downswing of his career, really. He's still probably worth the 1.01+ in this draft, though as you said upthread, people are psychotic in their dichotomy about that. He's the best pure runner in the league, alongside Dobbins, in my opinion. But he has Hunt and his own contributions in the passing game to worry about. I don't know what that means, but that's where I've got him.

I'm with you on Hopkins. Adding to your astute evaluation, I think his situation dictates a little more downgrade. Kyler will get his rushing TDs, most of which will come from red zone offense. If he were playing with more of a pocket passer, I'd hold him. As is, I'm actively pursuing trades.Ā

Wrong thread? I think we were just talking about this is another thread. If it's not the wrong thread, count me among those who don't mind FFPC in here, either. Some of our better posters play it, and it's good to hear. Plus, you sort of know the deal after a while of reading it and it becomes interesting. I might give it a whirl in a few years. Maybe.

Only if that difference is in your favor. If it isn't it is just laborious, tedious and ultimately rarely fruitful to try and get anywhere with. I'll say this, though. Those owners who you can't seem to get anything done with because you're too far apart on prices *are* the ones that eventually will surprise you because they hate some player that you like. So I do agree you should at least keep them on your radar. But it is almost impossible to know when that might happen. And if they happen to be a "must win all trades" kind of person then forget about it.
What if it was Hopkins/1.06 for 1.01 plus a future 1st (or some equivalent level of value)? Is that too big of negotiation bump to warrant a counter (if not an official counter in the system, a feeler question to the owner)?Ā
Reason I ask is because I more or less agree with what you're saying. When you don't feel like working with someone, you don't necessarily need to explain why to them or us. But I think sometimes what one owner would consider a non-starter offer, another would turn into a counter negotiation that ends up working. Dude may have been lowballing you (he was), but he may be willing to pay quite a bit more if pushed. I'm *not* saying that applies here, just food for thought.
Yeah I'm not above robbery, but it just isn't something I'm looking for. If it happens it happens. I am sooooo willing to let myself get robbed, or to make my partner think he is robbing me, if I get a deal that I think helps my team. And I have often made deals that other owners have complained to me about in terms of having greatly helped my opponent. Yet my teams keep improving and winning. Yeah there are some owners that will not do a trade, and have even said so, unless they think they are winning it.
He's not McCaffrey, but he caught 36 in 2019. That's not nothing.
That would be exhibit A to argue the answer to your question above was a resounding yes.

Well for the record it was 1.07
And I would consider trading Hopkins plus 1.07 for 1.01 in the right situation - for instance if I love the rookie at 1.01 and I'm relativelyĀ indifferent between what's there at 1.07 and my 2nd round pick ( or if i have extra picks etc.).
Long winded way of saying it didn't seem so bad to me and I could work with that guy.Ā

I donāt have much depth at wr besides those two and mclaurin and Dj Moore. We Start two to four wrs also. So makes it hard for me to pull the trigger since I wonāt be picking again until pick thirty.ĀWell for the record it was 1.07

Iām also going to try to move Hopkins when my league unlocks rosters. I think heās still got plenty of value to a win-now team. Heās about to turn 29 (June) which makes him less attractive long-term, but for a WR-needy team heās still got value.Ā
I do think heās got a chance to improve on his 2020 numbers after the year of experience working with Murray & the new offense. He hardly looks like he lost a step.Ā
Iām probably looking for players more than picks, but if I were offered a top 5 pick for him Iād have a hard time saying no.Ā
Iāll put him on the block and see what happens.

I'm glad you said this as I did not think it was that egregious either, more IMO what I would describe as aĀ little rich to pay for 1.1 then something really awful. I personally think a later first with Hopkins is just about right but at the moment I have a tier cutoff at 7 and while I know that may not hold I'm going to hold that line until it's not the case.

In the same FFPC SF I just posted about in the trades thread as having 33 trades since Jan 1st. I just turned down an offer of my Mahomes for his Mayfield, two 2022 1sts, 2.10
FWIW

Oh man he just upped it to include a future 2nd and 3.06. He is the one I sold the package to move up to 1.03 for. I think he thought he was offering me something outlandish that I wouldn't accept, and then I did and now he doesn't have 1.03 anymore and is panicking.Ā
But Mayfield, two 1sts, two 2nds and a 3rd is a haul. My biggest concern right now is how do I turn him down without being a jerk about it.
barackdhouse
Footballguy
I'm not trying to drive the price up. He is genuinely untouchable for me in SF. I'm defending champ and just paid a haul to move to 1.03 to take a top rookie RB, not a QB.

Some men you just can't reach...so we get what we had here last week. Well, that's the way he wants it, that's the way he gets it.
I'm not sure you could get me to part with Mahomes for Mayfield and two 1sts in a 1QB league.

Being the best NFL RB (which i think Chubb is in the conversation for) is different than being the best FF RB.Ā Chubb's usage is what holds him back for FF purposes.Ā He loses TD's and 3 down work which is a great benefit to the Browns for keeping him healthy and fresh.Ā It just doesn't help his fantasy outlook.
barackdhouse
Footballguy
Yeah I rejected without a note but sent a different small offer for later draft picks swaps and mentioned it again. I wouldn't have made a big deal to get to 1.03 to take my team in a completely different direction after that.

I told him it was the best offer I have ever received for Mahomes in SF.

Except that he scored the 4th most TDs while missing four games. And was still top 15 in carries.
I guess I'm content with keeping him on a roster. I think people analyze him all wrong.Ā

I have Dalvin and Chubb in a zealots league. Chubb looks to be the slightly superior talent, but Dalvin is the man for Minn. Chubb is only 4 months younger, but much less wear. I will be looking to trade Dalvin the year he turns 29.
I agree that he is still a top 12ish RB and have no problem with that production.Ā The perception of his production is what limits his return value in trade scenarios, and he would beĀ in contention for RB1 overall if Hunt wasn't there.

Hunt is not a threat. He's there to keep ChubbĀ fresh. I'm riding him through '21 and hope his '22 doesn't take his value. I won't think about moving him til that time.Ā

As a Mahomes ownerĀ in a superflex league he is borderlineĀ untouchable, unless an offer completely knocked my socks off. I feel like anyone trading me for Mahomes needs to overpay. Barring injury, he is the most valuable Dynasty asset for at least the foreseeableĀ future.
That said, I have been contemplating offering him up to see what offersĀ come in. I know the Watson owner in my league covetsĀ him & has several assets Iād like to acquireā¦ Thatās something I would probably consider if I could work it to my advantage for Watson plus aĀ running back.Ā
iāve got two straightĀ third place finishes so if I can turn Hopkins and MahomesĀ into three players it might put me over the top. If I can get younger in the process, Iād callĀ that a win.
Watson, Higgins, CEH For Hopkins & Mahomes, maybe a pick?Ā
I know that owner pretty well, so it mightĀ be do-able. IMO the drop-off from Mahomes to Watson is largely psychological. Of course thereās risk that Watson goes to a terrible team, or holds out...
Maybe Iām thinking wishfully. Would that tradeĀ offer be considered offensively low?Ā
barackdhouse
Footballguy
yep
Yeah I don't know. I think there are some other elite options at QB that would probably get me to consider something like this. I think I agree the dropoff is psychological and worth exploring. But for me, in addition to being capable of things I've never seen anyone else do before, Mahomes also has Hill and Kelce for at least a few more years and KC is bound to continue to bring in playmakers throughout his career. I still think CEH is a stud. The upside of that offense serves as a tiebreaker of it's own, even though there isn't a tie in the first place. But I do think chunking him out for pieces makes sense if you aren't in a position to win now. I also think people underestimate how good their teams can be ~8 months from now.

I doubt you're on an island in thinking Chubb is a better player than Cook.Ā I also doubt you're on an island in thinking that Chubb may be the best back in the league.
The problem though is yes, Hunt, and how it relates to fantasy.
The reality is that aside from Hunt being there, everything broke PERFECTLY for Chubb this year and he was still only RB8 in ppg for fantasy.Ā They had possibly the best run blocking O-line in the league.Ā More importantly this was like the one season Cleveland has every 20 years where they actually stayed competitive in games all year and could stick to the run.
If Cleveland regresses next year, as a huge percentage of these borderline playoff teams do every year, Chubb is in kind of a bad spot.Ā He relies on the team staying competitive because when they get behind Hunt gets most of the garbage time passing work.Ā It would be one thing if Chubb were a standout CMC type stud RB1 when things are clicking in Cleveland.Ā But even in that perfect scenario he was still only RB8 in ppg and is now entering his age 26 season with a career best finish of RB8 in ppg.
Chubb has now played two seasons with Hunt (half of last year, and then this year).Ā When everything was clicking perfectly in Chubb's favor in Cleveland he was RB8 in ppg.Ā When Cleveland was playing more like the Cleveland we expect (last year) Chubb was RB23 in PPG in the 8 games Hunt played.
Awesome talent and much like several other great RBs before him it's painful to watch his FF value never match up to his real world value, but the reality is he's basically been a guy who is a mid/low FF RB1 when Cleveland is good and a mid RB2 when Cleveland is bad, and I'm not keen on predicting that Cleveland will be consistently good going forward.Ā Like I said above it would be one thing if he were playing a like a top 3 overall RB when things are breaking right but even in that scenario Hunt still gets too much work for him finish as a top 5 RB in ppg.
He is RB7 in ADP and that doesn't seem underrated to me for a guy that is entering his age 26 season and has never even finished that high in fantasy scoring.Ā Realistically despite his talent it is probably a bit much for a guy that, short of a Hunt injury, likely has an UPSIDE of finishing the RB7 range in ppg and a downside of much lower if Cleveland starts having to abandon the run in the 2nd quarter like they've had to in recent years.
Though I totally get the allure in wanting to own Chubb.Ā He is hella fun to watch run.

Iāve sent out feelers to moveĀ Henry. Based on responses, Iāll probably just keep him and hope to getĀ a few more years from him. Ā Nothing close to where I value him.Ā
Someone else mentioned something like this a few weeks but I'm personally not much evidence of this with RB's.
IĀ just went on a search and used this site's feature to sort out RB's aged 29 years or older who had 200 fantasy points, and I wish I had a better way to search then standard but all I got. This was from last 5.
3 RB's aged 29 or older scored 200 non-PPR points in last 5 years and they all did it once and not the names you'd think. Mark Ingram and Blount at 30, McCoy at 29. I don't play non-PPR, is 200 to hefty of a goal? I did not think so since we are talking upper echelon guys but I was not trying to use some arbitrary number to prove a point or some type of cut off to eliminate players.
The previous 5 years were actually better which does not suggest, to me anyway, that RB's are actually improving with age but worse because 4 RB's in the previousĀ years, 2011-2015 went over 200 points.Those 4 were Peterson at 30 with Michael Turner, Matt Forte and Justin Forte at 29.
Again I'm seeing no signs of RB's aging better and most even less signs of a RB carrying a big load early in their careers still being viable.
And I just started digging further and frankly makes me want to say if you are holding a RB past 26 you need to move. Past 5 seasons only 6Ā RB's older then 26 scored 200 or more non-PPR fantasy points, two did it twice.
As the 2017 draft class ages they figure to add to this a little but it's not real encouraging looking to me holding on to these RB's past 25. Get a few years, recycle is what I try and do.

What is the value of moving a RB one year too late?Ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Perhaps something like going from a Hindery value of 25-30 down to something like 8-14? So losing between 11-22, call it aĀ future 1st. This is arbitrary and just a thought experiment so bear with me. It could be a bigger loss than that.
What is the value of moving a RB one year too early?
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Perhaps something like going from 30 to 25? Gaining about 5? Or maybe close to a future 2nd?
What is the difference in magnitude between the two answers? In an extremely rough way, maybe the difference between losing a 1st rounder and gaining a 2nd rounder.Ā
Now.
Are we trying to gain value or win championships? Serious question because neither scenario above is ideal. Ideal is to sell at the perfect time. Not too early or too late. I think most people would agree we're never likely to hit that mark. But here is the thing. If you're gonna say there is a world in which you sold a player too early, by definition that suggests they held value after you sold them. Why would that be? Purely due to the market perception? Or is it based on on field performance that might actually help your team win? I think I might rather ride them one more time and take that paper loss. In some situations.Ā
A reminder that we're talking about minimizing losses, not maximizing profits. I'm just not sure that holding a stud past their prime is actually the better play (unless you get a square deal). Selling too early implies that it's hurting my chances to win boxscores in the present, whereas selling too late implies my roster won't look as sexy on paper later, and also assumes I don't do anything further about it.Ā
I'm contrarian like a mutha.
