Had this trade proposed to me, from a guy I'd been trying to trade with for a while.
I give:
P. Rivers
A. Cooper
S. Watkins
D. Pitta
I get:
Eli
S. Shepard
L. McCoy
T. Eifert
I think I upgrade everywhere except Cooper.
My team would be Giants heavy, but I can live with that.
Here is what I'd have in 12-team PPR:
QB: Eli/Prescott
RB: Gurley, McCoy, Yeldon, Howard, Dixon, Drake
WR: Beckham, Shepard, Landry, Eifert (no TE), M. Thomas, T. Williams, V. Cruz
Can't stand dealing with Watkins game to game status and Eli is an upgrade over Rivers I think. Plus McCoy helps me at RB and Eifert isn't far away.
True, but then should I be in the market to deal Sims? I don't think I'd play him against Denver or Carolina. And if Martin comes back I dont know if I would feel comfortable using him even in bye weeks. I feel like he's worth alot more to the Martin owner than to me.
10 team, standard. I'm 3-0, 2nd in scoring. Had a bum week, was 2nd to last in scoring but lucked out and played the worst team in the league.
My team:
Wilson/Carr
RB: CJ, Blount, Howard, Deangelo, Sims. Vereen/Asiata both who im dropping.
WR: Evans, Cooks, Marshall, Ty williams
TE: Reed
His team:
Cam
WR: Jordy, Hopkins, Edelman, Jordan Matthews
RB: Gore, Michael, Martin, Gio, Ajayi, Riddick
TE: Walker/Bennett
I think he has one of the top 3 teams in the league. IF anything I would think he would be worrying about his RBs, not sure if he wants Gore as a starter. So I guess Sims would handcuff Martin. But looking at his team in detail he would probably want to package up players rather than add depth, which leads me back to thinking he'd probably want to offload Martin more than taking Sims. Idk if I would want to part with anyone besides Sims and Ty williams from my bench.
so Sims for Washington or J Matthews
or Sims and Blount for Christine Michael?
I wouldn't trade Sims for Washington though. Sims + Blount is a good deal, especially if you think Rawls' injury is worse than they say (which it has been to date).
Ryan, Brady
Forte, McCoy, Mathews, Sims, Ivory, Dwayne Washington
Julio, Evans, Marvin Jones Jr, Snead, Smith Sr
Reed, Eifert
Bailey
NE D/ST
I feel like with Washington's role expected to grow and the emergence of Sims, I can kind of afford to let go of Ivory. Or should I just stand pat?

Wow that team is loaded. I would stand pat though. I feel like Ivory might actually have the most upside. Yeldon hasn't been all that great. As the season rolls on you may have more suitors for RB depth (although unless whoever has Brown wants to trade him in desperation to you I dont see why you would make a trade).
I am starting
Brees
Forte, Miller
OBJ, Landry
Howard
I need 1 more WR. Do I risk it with Gronk or pick up Beasley off the waiver wire?

Sorry if this is too late dep. I would play it safe with Beasley. Not sure who you are going to have to drop in order to do so. Don't think it's the worst thing to start Gronk tho.
I'd hate to drop Ivory, but I think I might for Pryor. Pryor's current role is making him a must start in any league, and until it changes I'd want him in my lineup regardless.
Still not sure how to value players and we're just getting into the bye weeks. I have $180 left, but with never doing a FAAB league I didn't want to get caught later in the season being easily outbid.
Probably should have big higher. Hindsight.
I'm thinking with the potential knee injury and the fact his QB doesn't throw that much downfield, makes Hilton a better play. Plus with Moncrief out it seems Luck remembered who his best receiver is.
My other WR's are Allen Robinson and Marvin Jones (flex).
If he's going to start for you for the next 13 weeks, $30 isn't that bad a price

Yeah, I'd start Hilton over Dez this week. Any word on Dez' MRI?

I probably would. Hilton is a legit WR so its not that much of a stretch. Dez can't be trusted on a week to week basis even before the injury. There's no reason for any team not to double him and live with the underneath stuff to Beasley an Co. Also, you will have the benefit of starting Robinson and Hilton and hope for a defenseless game.

Someone bid $30 for him and we only have $100 budgets. No thanks!

Well the team that picked him up has Maclin, Sanders, Baldwin and Hilton already in addition to DeSean Jackson, Crowder and VJax.. so I don't how often he'll even have a spot for him. It's not like he was desperate for WR's.. his RB's are pretty bad.. he has Elliott and not a whole lot else.

I would start Pryor over Maclin/Sanders this week. Probably Baldwin too if Wilson is out. I'd also be trying to make a trade if I was that guy, but in a 10 teamer the only guy likely to command much in return would be Hilton I would imagine.
Pryor over Maclin is worth rolling the dice, that KC offense just isn't WR friendly.

Until Gordon comes back next week and we see how things change, Pryor is the only outside weapon the Browns have - and they have shown in this offense they are willing and able to push the ball downfield. Throw in his "wildcat" plays, and it's a no brainer to start Pryor.
I'll concede no-brainer is strong and my opinion, especially with regards to Sanders. I think he is a no-brainer over Maclin though.
Pryor. I'm just not sold on the Chicago offense. If Carey is also back this week that hurts Howard's value.
DeAndre Hopkins
LaGarrette Blount
I give:
TY Hilton
LeSean McCoy
I do expect Blount to cool off next week when Brady returns, but at a minimum he'll still get the goal line carries I'd expect plus his usual 15 carries.
I would assume Jordan Howard is gone by now in most leagues. I've started stashing away Kenneth Dixon in some leagues, as he should be ready to see the field within 3 weeks (don't think it'll be this week). Most early reports have been they can see Dixon taking the starting job my mid-season since West/Forsett aren't doing much.
It's a bye week for him, so maybe not much interest.
He was snatched up in FAAB in my league.
What do you feel about this trade in PPR:
I get:
Melvin Gordon
Will Fuller
I send:
Jordan Howard
Sammy Watkins

Yes, just with no info behind it, I am really high on Gordon the rest of the year. I'm never a fan of Watkins, as something is always lingering, and his injury now is a foot, which for him, could be troublesome.
Another back, to just piggyback on the Smallwood, would be Deandre Washington in Detroit. He's gonna get the Abdullah work, while Riddick will still do the passing work.
Anderson
Sims
Riddick
DeAngelo
Dixon
Drake
Smallwood (just added him and dropped Langford)
I'm hoping Dixon can get atleast a good chunk of weekly carries by week 6 or so. Drake is a longshot and would be my first drop if I needed to. DeAngelo i'll hold until I can't any longer, just in case Bell goes down.
He had the TD last week.
Plus, Foster could come back, though it would likely only be temporary until the next time, I just don't think Drake is a worth a roster spot.
I do have Jordan Howard and Kenneth Dixon still as developmental backs. I really want Paul Perkins to emerge, he's sitting out there, but I can't add him yet. I think by mid-season we could start seeing more of him.
In another league I have Dewayne Washington - I lost Abdullah in two leagues. I like his future prospects too.
Darkwa/Rainey should see a lot of work. Perkins would be a down the line guy.
If PPR at all, Dexter McCluster in San Diego can see some of the Woodhead targets in the passing game.
I'm looking for an update on whether Pujols is done for the year. I know he's had a reoccurrence of his plantar facilitis but no word on how serious it is. I have to fill that 1b spot with at least a live bat. Preferably someone that plays tomorrow on the short schedule but Pujols has been hot, I'd hate to drop him and gave my opponent pick him up for the weekend.
I send:
Rivers
Beckham
I get:
Luck
Hilton
Would there just be no point to that trade? I have been trying to upgrade QB forever (seems like at least since I drafted Romo and lost him before the season), and it cost me Marvin Jones so far. I just don't like Rivers that much to be content with starting him.

Give: AJ Green
Receive: Brandon Cooks, Jeremy Hill
I'm getting SMASHED in this league...
My team is:
QB- Rodgers
RBs: Foster, Matt Jones, Gore, Ingram, Dion Lewis (still holding him)
WRs: AJ Green, Watkings, Michael Floyd, Jamison Crowder
TEs: Ebron, Eifert
Ingram seems to be coming around and Gore is holding the spot down at the moment. I don't think AJ Green and Brandin Cooks is really much of a dropoff at all, but Hill would be a good piece to have to actually solidify my RBs. This would cause me to drop Lewis however, and I've already held on to him for this long at this point. Maybe I'd drop Jones instead.
Full point PPR, 12 team. Thoughts?

Meh. It's an even enough trade, and I wouldn't let dropping Lewis hold me back from making it. Don't really see it as a big upgrade though. Hill is redundant with Gore/Ingram, just gives you an extra decision to make each week (unless Hill becomes your Flex given your WR situation). Cooks is a slight downgrade over AJ from a consistency standpoint.

Absolutely not. A healthy RB who may net the most receptions in the league out of the RB spot vs. an often injured RB on a team who's goal line carries are dominated by their QB, and his back up who splits time with another back up.
I'd say the roster spot is more valuable than the difference between Stew/Fozzy and Riddick. So I'd pass as well. Lateral move at best, and none of those guys have a ton of upside.
