Yuck.

Yeah, maybe I do make that deal.

LMAO

Tell me about it. The WR depth I have, I lack in RB depth.

DYNASTY:

Offered Colston/DMC for Demariyus Thomas and Daryl Richardson.

YUCK!!

Nope.

I am thinking about dealing for DMC though. He is the offense.

Just got offered DMC and Torrey Smith for Stevie Johnson, Bradshaw and Daniel Thomas.

Pretty sure I have to take that.

It'll definitely help make your RB decisions easier.

Now he pulls it, wants to sleep on it.

Dammit.

Send him an e-bitch slap.

Usually that means they won't re-offer it, or send a dumb proposal instead.

I acted as if I had to think it over as well. We were negotiating via text, otherwise I would have jumped on it immediately.

Told him I'd either send him an offer in the AM or I'd send him a text saying no deal.

standard 10 team. I have begun the season 0-3 and need to make some moves. I am heavy at RB so I have been contacting other managers for trades.

My current team

QB: Phillip Rivers(just added from FA), Colin Kaepernick
WR: DeSean Jackson, Brandon Marshall, Ryan Broyles (just added FA)
RB: Doug Martin, Alfred Morris, Frank Gore, Giovani Bernard, Knowshon Moreno, Le'Von Bell (Just added FA)
TE: Tony G, Charles Clay (just added FA)
K: Caleb Sturgis (Just added FA)
DEF: KC (Just added FA)

I dropped the following people for the FAs I dropped: Houstan DEF, Hakeem Nicks, Miles Austin, Ben Tate, Phil Dawson and Kellen Winslow

I have an accepted pending trade. He said he would do just Alfred Morris and Brandon Marshall for Charles and Amendola but I wanted it to be fair so no one in the league would bitch so I threw in Knowshon Moreno.

Trading away: Alfred Morris, Knowshon Moreno and Brandon Marshall
Getting: Jamaal Charles and Danny Amendola.

Waiting on this to pass a 24hr league "vote"

I also offered a trade below and the guy said he is "pondering it"

EDIT: He accepted this trade

Offering: Frank Gore and Tony G
Will get: Julias Thomas TE DEN

Guy has Jimmy Graham, Jermichael Finley and Julias Thomas for TEs. He has at RB David Wilson, Jacquizz Rodgers and Bryce Brown. He is hurting for RBs so I think this would help both of us. He could use Gonzo for a back up until Jermichael is clear and maybe trade him for something else. IDK why he has 3 TEs anyway. He is the other 0-3 team in our league.

How is my team shaping up? Think I can come back from 0-3? Thanks

After trades
QB: Phillip Rivers, Colin Kaepernick
WR: DeSean Jackson, Ryan Broyles, Danny Amendola
RB: Doug Martin, Jamaal Charles, Giovani Bernard, Le'Von Bell
TE: Julias Thomas, Charles Clay
K: Caleb Sturgis
DEF: KC

I have two open spots for free agents so I will hit the wire and see what I can come up with to help the WR position.

10 team ppr, two player keeper league.
Offered Reggie Wayne and jordy Nelson for Decker and Fitzgerald. I am steam rolling people people for the most part and Julio is not keeper eligible. Not thinking this trade really makes me much better and I'd be getting an often injured player and an old one. Thoughts?

QB: stafford, Wilson
RB: Charles, Martin, Bernard, mendenhall, b brown
Wr: j jones, fitz, decker, shorts, thompkins, randle, a Roberts
Te: Cameron,
D/st: bears, ravens

Don't want to piss on your parade but I think you got fleeced in the Marshall trade. Your wrs are not good or deep at all.

I've been offered Dwayne Bowe, Mike Williams, and Ryan Broyles for Roddy White and Fred Jackson. I have RB depth out the ass, but am currently starting Emmanuel Sanders and Mike Wallace at WR. I get Blackmon back next week, too.

Do I take this trade?

No worries, I appreciate the feedback. I know I am hurting at WR right now without Marshall. My hopes are that Amendola can come back and stay healthy. The way NE is hurting at WR he should be a WR 1 when he is healthy. I have two open roster spots for free agents so I will be hitting the wire to get a couple WRs to fill in.

Here are my thoughts
RED= traded away, Green= Traded for Blue= Free agency

QB ranking went from 24 to 5 going with Rivers since Kaep/9ers are choking

RB went from the 9th, 10th, 13th, 15th and 24th ranked RBs to the 2nd, 9th, 10th with Bell as a wild card. I did lose my depth but starting lineup is better I hope everyone stays productive and healthy.

WR went from 2nd and 12th to 2nd and ? Broyles moving up to the slot with the injury to Burleson and Amendola possible upside when healthy and WRs available in FA like Brian Hartline and DeAndre Hopkins. I still have DeSean and my #2 can play whoever matches up best out of the WR3/4 pool. This is my weakest link.

TE went from 9th and 21st ranked to 3rd and 9th ranked

K: Went from 29th to 3rd ranked

DEF: Went from 25th to 1st

When trades happen you cannot always get better everywhere. There is generally some give and take. I'm weaker at WR at one spot and at RB depth but have gained at starting position strength for RB, TE, QB, K and DEF. Had my team not started 0-3 I would not go the these lengths to get rid of my depth to raise my starters up high but I'm in meltdown mode. Does my thought process make sense or am I off my rocker? Thanks again

I have about 30 minutes to do this trade:

DeAngelo Williams for Benard Pierce and my choice of Aaron Dobson, Malcolm Floyd and Ryan Broyles.

Isn't Ray Rice coming back soon? Pierce value is about to drop. I like Broyles upside right now out of those three. With Gronk coming back and Amendola not far behind, Dobson stock is falling too. Id keep DeAngelo unless you really need a WR.

Needing a back

So are trading for deangelo then?

I have Eddie Lacy, Ray Rice, Williams and Rashard Mendenhall

I'd just keep Deangelo Williams. He's better then Pierce.

Trade on the table: Randall Cobb and the Patriots D/ST for CJ2k and Ryan Broyles

Should I trade Moreno for Bilal Powell?

That's a tough one. I would slightly side with Powell since Moreno is in a time share and Denver could cut his touches more as the year goes on. I think Powell is a safer choice.

Looking at just the value and risk I would say no but it really depends on your current roster and needs. You are loosing value vs value by players but if you are good at those positions, WR & DEF, then you could get less value in return if it fills a need.

Definitely. DEN is a RBBC and a throw-first team. Powell is the clear-cut #1 on his team.

In my more serious league, I am in first place out of 12 teams. However, one thing I failed to do when drafting was address RB depth. I need to start at least 2 RB's. I only have 2...Marshawn Lynch and Darren Mcbrokepenis. Mcfadden is injured and not expected to play this coming week... so I proposed a trade to a dude who is having WR issues. The proposed trade is: Larry Fitzpatrick for Eddie Lacy. The other WR's on my team include: Stevie Johnson, Anquan Boldin, Kendall Wright, Cordarelle Patterson, Chris Givens, Sidney Rice, Darius Heyward-Bey and Stephen Hill.

Would you guys have proposed that trade? Is attaining Eddie Lacy when you are desperate for a RB worth giving up Larry Fitz?

Matt Ryan, Brandon Marshall for Reggie Bush and Kaepernick?

Ryan, Marshall and Gonzalez for Bush, Kaepernick and Wayne?

I like Team A in both instances.

Yeah, I figured I'd get that response.

I HAVE to do something about my RB situation though. Schiano has sucked any value Doug Martin once had out of him, and the Richardson deal ****ed Bradshaw.

Then if I had to pick I would rather go with trade option A.

Marshall and Gonzo for Bush and Martellus Bennett?

I like that one a lot.

Just hope Bush can remain healthy!!

I have Joique, so at least I'm covered.

That would leave me:

Ryan
Martin
Bush
Demaryius
Gordon/Stevie
Bennett

Currently:

Ryan
Martin
Joique/F-Jax/Bradshaw
Marshall
Demaryius
Gonzo

Didn't realize you had Bush. That looks like a quality team.

Let's hope Martin shows up. At least he's still getting plenty of touches and should continue to do so with Glennon at QB.

I don't have Bush. I'd be trading FOR him.

Meant Bell - my bad.

Not sure he'd do it, though. He's hell-bent on improving at QB.

And I'm assuming the drop from Ryan to Kaepernick is why you didn't like either of the other options.

Bingo. So far - I like Ryan a lot more than Kaepernick this year. I doubt that'll change.

So you trust Gordon or Stevie as a WR2?

I do.

You're the one who has to decipher though each week. Lol.

Gordon is boom or bust, whereas Stevie will be more consistent.

I would roll with Gordon because Hoyer is throwing the ball a ****ing shit ton. And if Weeden does return he and Gordon had a pretty good rapport last year too.

I think Gordon would be the play each week.

Then I'd pick up either Cutler or Hoyer for Ryan's bye week.

We are on the same page sir.

I would probably take Hoyer against Detroit. I think they'll be playing from behind all game.

Buuuuuuut, Cutler faces NYG. Personally, I just have a hard time rooting for Cutler and he's been one of the most inconsistent QBs.

I am glad I am not in your shoes.

Normally, I'd say it's just one week.

But I started 2-0, and lost my last two. Martin on bye this week, Ryan and Gonzo next.

If I don't make some sort of deal, I'm very likely looking at 2-4.

Offered Knowshon Moreno and LeVeon Bell for Randall Cobb.

My team before:

Brees, Dalton -claim for Tannehill
Martin, J. Bell, Matthews, Rainey, Dwyer
Cruz, Thompkins, Witten, Finley, Tate - claim for Washington
Denver D
Haushka

We start 1 QB, 2 RBs, 3 W/T, one flex, 1 K and 1 D.

Tempting.

His team:
Luck
McCoy, Forte, Moreno, Wilson, Law Firm, Tate, Thomas, L. Bell
A. Brown, DJax, White, Mike Williams
Bironas
Tenn D.

You guys see anything where I could land Forte or McCoy?

If I were to accept the trade what do you think about Cruz, Thompkins, Washington/Finley/Witten. I really like Thompkins, even with Gronkowski coming back.

What about if I offered Thompkins for LeVeon Bell?

He rejected it. No comments, no counter offer.

Ok help me out. I have Brady and Rivers and theres this other guy who has shit at QB trying to get me to trade him one of them. I have shit at RB, he has Sproles (and Marshawn but he wont trade him).

Should I trade one of them for Sproles? Which one? He also has Seattle defense and Witten who I might get in a package.

Demaryius Thomas and Coby Fleener

for

Jason Witten and David Wilson

I'd have to see the rest of both of your teams for package type deals.

Sproles is okay as long as you're in a PPR league. He's never going to get a lot of regular rushing attempts but should be fairly consistent out of the backfield.

Team A in a landslide.

I also have an offer I could accept of

Antonio Brown and Owen Daniels

for

Jason Witten and David Wilson

Your RB's are pretty poor...but with 2 RB's starting and a flex it would probably take quite a bit to pull McCoy or Forte from him. I don't really see anything I would probably take for them. Unless he really has a mancrush on Dalton and think he'll significantly outperform Luck over the course of the season.

Thinking about countering with Thompkins for LeVeon Bell.

I'd take it if you can get him for that. If Gronk and Amendola come back healthy I could easily see Thompkins falling off quite a bit.

Where's Bell's value at? I have him, Powell, Ridley and Doug Martin.

I got offered Roddy White and Lamar Miller for him and Jermichael Finley.

Thoughts? My other WRs are Shorts, Garçon and Colston.

I'd rate him in the RB10-15 range going forward. Steelers should be better on offense after the Levi Brown trade, and they clearly want him to be the feature back.

Don't really like that trade at all given Roddy's injury and how much Ridley and Martin have struggled.

A couple of trades I overheard that I want to get opinions on:

1. Darren Sproles for Lamar Miller & Dwayne Bowe

2. Darren Sproles for either Anquan Boldin -OR- DeSean Jackson

EDIT: yes, PPR

Trade Vick for Joique Bell? I could really use Bush insurance in light of pretty shaky RBs behind him (Gio Bernard, Powell, Wilson)

PPR?

Who is your other QB?

Yep

A couple of trades I overheard that I want to get opinions on:

1. Darren Sproles for Lamar Miller & Dwayne Bowe
Not sure I would take this. Lamar Miller seems to be very inconsistent at best and won't likely be a huge factor in the Dolphins offense. Bowe, I think, will continue to struggle to get yards and catches due to the Alex Smith conservative factor. I'd rather stay with a stronger Sproles as I would hope Miller or Bowe would be bye week/injury fill-ins from my bench at this point.

2. Darren Sproles for either Anquan Boldin -OR- DeSean Jackson
Sproles will probably get more catches but for less yards than the two of these (plus a little extra rushing yardage). I'd have to look at 100 yard bonuses to really get a good idea but i'd say it's fairly even. I'd also go either way depending on what I'd have replacing on the bench for both positions.

Breesus.

I would do that. Vick is almost worthless sitting behind Brees. Bell has been a good RB even when Bush plays, and Bush has already been dinged up this year. Win, win - you get monster points from Bush with a possible Flex play in Bell, or if Bush goes down you get monster points from Bell.

What sedated said.

Assuming the waiver wire has an okay backup QB for young Breesy's bye week.

Antonio Brown for David Wilson?

I've been offered Randall Cobb for Andre Johnson and Chris Johnson. We are 12 teams and start 4 we and 3 RB. I'd be filling the RB void with Ogbannaya, Pierre Thomas, or Bernard Pierce. what do yup guys think?

C Johnson isn't even in for passing downs or goal line work anymore.

we get 3-6-9 bonus points for tds longer than 20-40-60 yards.

Wilson is worthless. He was on our waiver wire last week.

Then you won't mind if I trade him for brown. :)

NO on both !! Sproles is GOLD !!

Yep ! Never have been a Bush fan just because of his injury history.

You need to be offered another player along with Cobb to even it up that is equal talent. Check the d schedules prior though.

I have Rodgers and Rivers. Picked up Rivers as a FA in week 2. Now that Rodgers's bye week has concluded, I no longer need Rivers...and he has been a beast this year. With that said, for whatever reason, I can't seem to get shit for him in a trade...

I need MAJOR help. I'm in a keeper league no PPR.


I give up Jimmy Graham and Le'Veon Bell

for

Andrew Luck, Jordan Cameron, Alfred Morris, 1st and 2nd round pick.



My QB is Wilson right now so either him or Luck on the bench. My RB corps would be Eddie Lacy, Alfred Morris and Knowshon Moreno

You keep saying keeper league.

Isn't it a dynasty league? There's a huge difference.

I wouldn't do it either way -- but you need to clarify.

Sorry dynasty league

In dynasty it seems Morris and Bell are looking like a wash. Not sure its worth giving up Graham hoping that Cameron continues his streak (a whole 4 games) when QB is something you can get pretty easily.

Graham's value at his position is so high I dont think I would ever give him up.

I have been killing it in trades this year. I have put together my best team on paper ever.

QBs A-rod and romo
RBs-McCoy, R. Rice, and D. Martin
WRs-Cruz, Dez, Larry F., and Andre Johnson
TEs-J. Cameron
Def-Chiefs

I love this team!! It is a 10 PPR league.

I've offered Sam Bradford, Antonio Brown, and Zac Stacy for DeMarco Murray.

I already have RG3 and Tom Brady as QB's (can start two). At WR, I also have Megatron, Cobb, and Julian Edelman. At RB, I have Charles, Spiller, FredJax, and Andre Ellington.

Spiller has been underperforming, and Bradford already had his fill-in week this week. I will miss Brown perhaps, but WR's can be picked up off the waiver and perform more often than RBs.

Is that a good trade?

Man, I dunno...Demarco seems to get hurt around this time of the year. Not to mention, I have a good feeling about this Zac Stacy kid.... I probably wouldn't make the trade, to be honest.

Yeah, last year's injury to Murray was around this time.

I just take Stacy's game with the major Jacksonville grain of salt. And the person I'm trading with has no QB this week, so for this trade to happen, it would need to be this week.. can't wait a week to see how Stacy plays against Houston.

Would you rather keep Stacy and put Ellington into that trade?
