Background info: Long-running 12 team 1QB keeper home league with fairly standard QB scoring outside of bonus points for 300/400/500 yards (cumulative 2/3/4 bonus points) and point per completion above 30.
Between early drafting (6 QBs between 2.11 and 3.09) and keepers (5), I went late-round QB and got Tannehill. My team is good (5-1 start, 2nd most points for) and I am looking to upgrade at QB.
There were 4 new owners and one is off to a 1-5 start and has Dak Prescott. I messaged him to see if he would be willing to trade Prescott. I included a soft proposal of one of my QBs (Tannehill or Wentz) to help him with byes this week (as he also has Lawrence on bye) and a draft pick upgrade or an upgrade at another position. Here is the reply I received:
"Hey! Sorry.. I’m not interested in trading him. Of all my draft picks… he’s the most consistent every weekend "
I remember reading articles about the different types of personalities in fantasy football regarding trading. How would you categorize this owner? To me, he is most likely out of playoff contention but doesn't realize it yet. I understand that most people in my league do not view their situation beyond the current week and also want to improve their lineup with giving up anything of consequence (the trade block, if used, is always bench players with no value above what is available on the waiver wire). He seems to be like this.
Is there any possibility of working out a trade with this owner? What trading personality does this owner have where he is not even willing to entertain trading the only player on his team that is performing, even though his team is poor?
I have put draft pick upgrades and potential late round RB keepers (Dobbins, Akers, Etienne all stashed on IR) on the table in case he changes his mind and starts thinking about next season.
Another new owner has Hurts and Stafford as he drafted them at 3.01 and 5.01. He is a fantasy football rookie. I've messaged him about me looking to upgrade at QB but haven't heard anything back. Last week, he picked up Le'Veon Bell on waivers and dropped Dalvin Cook. There were some messages posted about that transaction, so he is now probably gun-shy about making a move.
