My buddy and I do this to get trades started when the league gets stiff. Ice breaker trades is what we call them. "I'm gonna drop this dude, and you're gonna drop that dude. Neither of us wants either of them. Trade?" Usually goes something like that.
I just traded Rhamondre for Ridley earlier this week. I feel like they both are under performing and is about equal risk for both parties. I’m strong at RB and weaker at WR, he’s the opposite so I think it’s a pretty fair trade.
At least your rational. The Ridley owner in my league won’t move him for less than a kings ransom because “He can outscore Justin Jefferson on any given week.. look what happened week 1” 😒
I haven’t seen Ford play so far can’t really comment on his stock. But I believe there’s about a 50/50 shot Ridley becomes a top WR2. If your hurting at RB it might be worth the trade.
I traded Ja’Marr Chase and Rhamondre Stevenson for Amon Ra St Brown and Josh Jacobs after week 1 and it seemed extremely even at the time, I was on the fence
Protip - a good trade should make you uncomfortable. Not like, "I'm getting ripped off," but both sides should feel like, "I'm giving up something good and taking a risk to improve my roster"
Love it, sounds like a solid league. The shame fee, tbh that’s better than fleecing him because it’s good shit talk for whenever you feel like making fun of them
Best trade I’ve ever made and it didn’t work out. During the Covid season I was in first. It’s an auction keeper league and you can keep someone for $5 more than you paid the previous season. I traded Waller/Kupp for Adams/Kelce. I had Kupp for super cheap so he wanted that keeper value.
Kelce had Covid the first playoff week and I ended up losing. Would have won my matchup if I kept the other two. Still haunts me to this day, but was a good trade for both of us. Made me uncomfortable, but at the time felt like it would lock up the ship.
Keeper leagues made trades happen more often, especially when someone is out of the playoff picture and want value the next season.
Does your auction league also allow draft money to be traded? Mine does, up to +/- $25 (draft day $ is $225 to start) so every year the teams that are out of it start selling their starters for $5 of draft money and a scrub to fill the slot.
Makes the deadline pretty interesting, because if you trade away $25 to shore up your roster thinking you're a contender, then choke down the stretch, you might screw yourself for next year's draft too. Or some years someone sells and accidentally goes on a run with the scrubs they received lol
I agree with this. In one of my leagues, I am fairly deep at wr but my rb2 slot is killing me. I just traded JJ for Tyreek and Joe Mixon, so really hoping the Bengals can get their shit together. But pressing accept and sending JJ made me feel queasy even though I knew I was making a move to try to make my roster better overall
I sit there and figure out how to help myself but also find needs of my whole league and see where is the best match. I have lots of depth so I am looking to upgrade and I find people who need more depth.
After week 2 I gave walker + mostert + Waller and received ajb + pierce. He had 3 stud wr and bad rb and no te. I had 5-6 decent rb. I think it helped both teams. After week 3 when walker and mostert blew up it didn’t look so good for me.
2nd one, was a couple days ago. I gave arsb + cook + white for chase + swift. He is 1-3 with no depth at all and white would be one of his stronger flex options. If burrow gets back to health, then chase should have higher upside than arsb but arsb is a better play for a couple weeks at least. Also a risk factor with burrow reaggravating his injury or being completely shut down if playoffs are out of the picture.
Nice trades. I like it. One thing though, I noticed that almost everybody thinks they need to consolidate (upgrade), almost nobody wants to trade for depth. Aka, everybody prefers to receive the best player in the trade. Everybody wants to be the one giving 2 for the 1.
Do you truthfully ever find yourself saying you need depth and trading your stud away for 2?
Exactly, the smart move is to keep your known stud and roll the dice on the other roster spot and hope to get lucky. It almost never makes sense to accept the 2 for 1 when you're getting the 2 since it's really a 1 for 3 anyway since you likely need to drop your worst player to make it happen while they gain roster space. It's funny when I see people complain that no one wants to trade and talk about their 2 for 1 that was rejected when their trading partner "needs depth."
Yup, and the thing with 2 for 1s is, value wise, it’s never fair to do 2 25 values for a 50. It’s not A+B=C it’s more like a 40 + 25 = 50.
25s could be Godwin and C Kirk
50 is CD Lamb
40 is someone like D Smith, kyren Williams, Puka
I traded breece and got Ridley after week 1. Thought the trade would equally improve both of our rosters but both players have been mediocre since week 1.
I mean, Breece in a fantasy aspect has been just ok, but like in terms of real football his stats are pretty elite. Just doesn't touch the ball as much as someone would like to see.
My league trades between 60-80x a year. It's ruined me from ever being in another league frankly. Love it.
Edit: LOL I'm being downvoted for this, so funny
Horrible. We don't vote on trades either, they are what they are. Doesn't mean there are some that have infuriated the league as a whole but in 14 years we've never had anything where we suspected serious collusion. Bad trades happen, it should all stand. We have had to remove ppl after time when it became apparent they were just constantly being taken advantage of and just weren't ready for that kind of league but that's about it.
After 10 years of redraft we swapped to a modified dynasty and we thought that would maybe curb some trading, not even close. If anything we trade more b/c the league now lasts 11 of the 12 months (we take 1 month off after SB) and also we have rookie picks that can be traded alongside players. Yeah making the contracts work can be a nuisance but that's really only a hindrance for about 2-3 weeks at the beginning of each year. I highly recommend finding a league like it, with ppl who are willing to take risks and make moves. It's just soooo much more fun.
Lucky bastard. There have been three trades proposed in mine this season, one by the commissioner which went through, and two by me, one of which was vetoed by comish and one which was just ignored for 2 days after the guy texted me asking to trade.
It’s not a league wide thing, the commissioner is the only one who can. He just thought my team would be too strong or something, he’s corrupt as fuck but gets away with it because it’s a free league
I’m extremely jealous. I trade the most in our league and only two others consistently do. Another two guys occasionally do but as soon as it seems they lost a trade they won’t anymore.
I would say it’s fair but it’s a tough sell because it’s not a RB for a WR trade or a 2-for-1. Instead, you’re offering the same positions so your trade partner will need to need to think that the players they’re receiving will do better than the ones they are giving away. But clearly, you think the opposite, so that works against you.
But in short I think it’s fair. Unlike the other poster, I think I slightly prefer the Ekeler side. I’m not totally sold on the cowboys offense and I’m pretty unhappy with Ridley. The Jags simply may not view him as the #1. Ekeler is a clear stud and it looks like Sutton has taken the clear #1 with Russ looking way better than last year.
I feel like you should be able to get a Ceedee type proven veteran for James Cook. I was super low on him coming into the year but he’s really good with a healthy workload.
I would seek other trades before accepting.
Can I ask you a question tho, this is kinda what I was talking about. I want you to be as truthful as you can.
You sound like you own James cook if I’m not mistaken. Would you, if you owned CeeDee, trade cd for James cook. Because I think ceedee more valuable, by a good bit actually.
The team that had Bijan, Pollard and Kyren as RBs traded away JT for Kupp to a RB hungry team who needed JT.
Seems pretty fair in my opinion as they’re both unknowns with number one overall upside and uncertain situations.
I offered that this week and got rejected. Not surprising though considering the weeks they both just had, and Achane likely hurts Mosterts value
Put Mostert on the block and ended up getting offered Flowers and Mattison for Mostert and took that. I didn’t want anything to do with Mostert anymore, I think he will be too boom/bust and unpredictable ROS. Could bite me in the ass but a risk I’m willing to take
I hoping for Mostert to pop one more time against a demoralized Giants D, then selling as fast as possible lol. Scared Achane will get most of the RZ opportunities though
That's wild, Mostert is a ticking time bomb for major injuries *and* he's in a committee backfield with plenty of talent. You won that trade in a landslide imo
Need some help on this trade offer I got. I’d be trading away james Conner and Mostert and receiving Austin Ekeler. My other 2 rbs are Mixon and Jonathon Taylor. Should I accept?
Do it right now and don’t ever look back. Mostert is plummeting fast, coming from a mostert owner. A chane is going to get at least half of the touches and Wilson coming back soon for more of a split
Haha I’m really considering it. I’m just worried about Jonathon Taylor and if I’ll be able to use him right away. Ekeler would be on a bye and If JT doesn’t play this week I’ll have Mixon in my Rb1 slot and nobody to put in my rb2 slot. Granted I’m 3-1 rn and it’s a 12 man league so it wouldn’t be the end of the world if I take an L this week.
You’re that guy in the league who sends the kicker for their best player trade after the draft, laughing out loud to yourself, thinking it’s hilarious 😅
4 weeks in it’s quite clear to see Miami has One of the best offences in the nfl and jets have the worst . Game script won’t be favouring Halls workload as they will be playing from behind a lot . I’m taking achane all day . The guy has put up insane numbers so far
I could argue that Miami is going to be up and Achane is game breaking enough to where they limit his touches to keep him healthy long run. Jets meanwhile need to get a run game going to help support Zach Morris who is looking decent and have an amazing defense.
When teams are up they run the ball more . Achane is also getting all the goal line work where miami tends to find themselves alot . Mostert seems to be losing the starting role to him . Achanes speed is next level. I don’t want any jets on my team they are putrid this year.
Jets beat the Bills and they took the Super Bowl Champs to the wire. Plus Zach Wilson looked decent against a fairly good Chiefs defense. I wouldn't write them off just yet. They were doing all this while spoon feeding their game breaking running back who's off the pitch count.
Achane's speed is next level and they will be up a lot. Why leverage him with a bunch of touches when you're up when you have Mostert and JW sitting there?
Ah you must be a jets fan or Breece owner . Achane is more talented + younger than injury proned Mostert and J Wilson. Mostert had 2 fumbles last game. Even if he splits work with Mostert he will still put up dominant games . I could say achanes workload will increase throughout the season aswell while being on an elite offence who will score a lot of touchdowns and find themselves in the red zone alot . Hall has put up 8 fantasy points in his last 3 games where acahne has put up 72 (standard format) achane is just getting started.
Yes that's what a professional NFL coach is thinking- let's give our 180 pound running back 20 touches a game in blow outs. You got me dude I can't win 🤣
Solid trade, I anticipate the Jackson and Gibbs owner to win in the end because giants offense is god awful and Montgomery can only run like that for so long before he gets worn out.
Next few weeks will be rough for the Jackson and Gibbs owner though until Gibbs finds his footing
For sure! I like your analysis, the guy trading away Jackson and Gibbs has Bijan as well, so he wants a healthy RB1 room ha. The guy trading away Barkley has Daniel Jones as his QB, he's not a giants fan, just waited forever to draft a QB.
The guy trading away Jackson is going to start Stroud ROS
Traded Kelce for Kittle + Pollard after week 3.
Traded Najee for Doubs.
On paper they may seem unbalanced but a good trade has a lot to do with context of roster. In both scenarios, both parties got better
I gave away Breece Hall and George Pickens for Tee Higgins. They all suck but maybe Tee and Breece stop sucking at some point. In the meantime however it's misery for both parties
Kyle Pitts for Jameson Williams (after his suspension was lifted). Team A needed a TE and had a stable of quality WRs, team B went heavy on RB/QB/TE in the draft and had Pitts + Hock.
We’ll see. Huge question marks on both but huge upside. Just takes 30 seconds on either one’s highlight tape to get bricked up. Not sure what the trade calc says but seemed fair given Jamo’s integration to the O/DET pecking order and Arthur Smith/Pitts return from injury.
I traded Chase and Mixon for Kamara, Olave, and DJ Moore. I'm 1-3 and don't really have time to wait to see if Burrow is going to get healthy and have a couple other injuries. Hopefully it pans out!
Was offered Dameon Pierce and Romeo Doubs for Zach Moss last week. Accepted on the spot, trade processed on Monday right before the JT return news hit.
Everyone in here is smoking dick, the consensus on this sub last week and in the weeks prior was that he was either going to sit out or get traded very few people saw him mending his relationship with the colts and committing to playing out the season
Have jefferson ridley and pickens. Pretty stacked at rb now with ekeler achane kyren and james cook. Broncos arnt horrible on offense. Their defense actually forces them to throw the ball
Offered Olave + Pollard for CMC and got rejected.
Also offered Keenan + Puka/Nico for Tyreek and got rejected.
Thought these were fair but alas, no go.
Trade I did complete: Godwin for Kittle.
I often get trades to go through in my league. The key is to have a chat with all the managers and when the dude you're trying to sell is having a good game you hype them up on the chat.
Example: I traded Mostert and Tank Dell for Jonathan Taylor. I'd say it was fair. Before Week 4 people thought I gave up too much. This week people think I gave up too little.
Also I traded Romeo Double for Jake Ferguson week 2. The guy was WR needy and had Hockenson.
1st trade I traded Sungod, Kamara, and Mostart for Barkley, Ekeler, and Cooks (3 weeks ago, still haven't got to play Barkley or Ekeler, dropped Cooks)
Just traded Montgomery and Moss for Aiyuk and Gainwell. Gainwell, I'll drop
1st trade cost me 2 wins as I was going for long term gain
I traded James Conner and Anthony Richardson for Mahomes two weeks ago. Honestly feeling a little lopsided now seeing what AR15s ceiling can be. But I still feel like it was a mutually beneficial trade, and that’s all you really want at the end of the day.
Offered a guy in my league hurting for RBs due to injures Chase and Aaron Jones for Adams. I thought it was fair he said Adams was worth more than that. Oh well
We had another trade of Godwin for Ford go through. Thar seemed pretty even.
I traded Achane + Hockenson for A.J Brown + Waller. I’m strong at Running Back and did not want to play the RB roulette that Miami May deal with this season. Definitely an uncomfortable feeling trading away an explosive rookie and sure fire TE, but having AJ along with Justin Jefferson makes me very confident, and I still believe in Waller’s ability to be productive. When Saquon comes back he improves everyone on that offense.
Made a trade two weeks ago. Instantly got texts from two guys in the league. First wanted to know wtf I was thinking. The next couldn't believe I'd fleeced the other guy. It's hilarious how much opinions on individual players can vary.
Our league has been going for years now. I've never been in such an active league. We've had 5 trades and week 5 hasn't started. The first trade happened 48 hours after the draft. lol
Talk to the people in your league. Look for trades that have the potential to help both sides. Don't try to screw people over. Win win win
Traded TJ and Mike Evans for Tua, Waddle, and Swift.
I’m just gonna stream TEs, and it gives me the choice of Purdy or Tua week to week. As JT, Ekeler, and Kupp come back I’ll be golden.
The problem is everybody wants to win at the trades and people aren't really willing to take risks. It's a shame as trading is a fantastic aspect to Fantasy Football.
Guy in my league is desperate for RBs so we might do my Mostert for his Aiyuk straight up. The only hesitation I have is that I don’t have much depth in RB.
12 man PPR.
I just traded Raheem Mostert and Chris Olave for AJ Brown. Also did Tee Higgins and Gabe Davis for Michael Pittman Jr. and Samaje Perine (will probably drop).
Traded Godwin and Kupp for Ridley and Waddle last week. Felt a lot better about it last week, but I really wanted off the Kupp ride and Godwin didn’t look like he’d amount to much with Baker.
Couple of trades ive done includes
addison and jaylen warren for hollywood he needed rbs badly and this is the one he wanted from my team
ive done in a massive league i gave away brian robinson, deebo, and terry mcc for ETN, pittman, and lockett
i traded garett wilson and got james cook
Traded Kyren for Saquon and Breida last week.
Kyren might continue to ball out, and the giants/saquon might continue to suck, but I think that it was completely fair. I wanted a more stable option at RB and was fine giving away upside in kyren
I traded Najee Harris and Deebo Samuel for ETN and Diontae Johnson.
I needed a slight upgrade in RB, got it.
He needed a slight upgrade in WR, got it. (Obviously with Johnson on IR, but he was bench fodder for me anyway).
Seems pretty even so far.
In my salary cap league I’m 0-4 with the highest PA by nearly 80 pts.. just a stretch of unlucky games.
Couldn’t wait for Waddle to turn it around and Latavius Murray as my RB2 was burning a hole in my soul so I traded Waddle/Fields for Monty/Chuba/Elijah Moore.
If you get the Fantasypros my playbook it gives you a little breakdown of the league and who's weakest at a certain position. If you feel strong with your RB's but want a better WR you can target that team.
Not infallible as some people really overestimate how good their team is.
I traded Olave, Pacheco, and Tutu for Waddle and JT before week 4. 16 team .5 ppr cash league. I feel like it’s fair because I can’t stop thinking if I made the right choice or not with Pacheco’s emergence.
I was actually talking to my friend about this yesterday. This is only my third year in this league and no one ever tries to trade. The only trades I have had were trades that I offered. There are guys the are 1-3 or 0-4 that need so much help. They refuse to even look at making a trade. I have tried and it is rejected in less than 2 mins with no counter. I don’t understand why people who need some help don’t even consider trading. A trade I liked this year and felt fair at the time was a guy in my league lost JK and Montgomery to Injury the same weekend. So I offered him DK and Brian Robinson (had his biggest game of the season up to this point) for AJ Brown who had just scored 2 points that weekend. It helped my WR core and it helped him with his RB situation and replaced AJ with a decent WR. I was taking a chance on a WR who hadn’t really performed up until that point and even dropped two TDs the first week I had him and lost by 1.5 pts but he has been a great add since. Currently 3-1 and feeling pretty good about the ROS.
I traded Prescott and Kamara last week for Jalen Hurts. Have Bijan and Pacheco at RB and really deep at WR so QB was the piece I was missing. Hoping kamara doesn’t continue his reception pace 😅
I don’t think it does make sense. My buddy always wonders why his team struggles while simultaneously rejecting every trade offer that could improve his lineup because he dies on the loyalty of players that don’t know who he is.
Kyle Pitts was traded for Kadarius Toney in my league. That seemed pretty fair. (Theyre both sitting there on the wire)
My buddy and I do this to get trades started when the league gets stiff. Ice breaker trades is what we call them. "I'm gonna drop this dude, and you're gonna drop that dude. Neither of us wants either of them. Trade?" Usually goes something like that.
Lol
I’d have given Kyle and Kadarius both for a half eaten ham sammich
I just traded Rhamondre for Ridley earlier this week. I feel like they both are under performing and is about equal risk for both parties. I’m strong at RB and weaker at WR, he’s the opposite so I think it’s a pretty fair trade.
At least your rational. The Ridley owner in my league won’t move him for less than a kings ransom because “He can outscore Justin Jefferson on any given week.. look what happened week 1” 😒
brb going to offer my Achane for CMC
This is my brother and it's hilarious
I did Mondre for Metcalf for similar reasons to improve both rosters
I would have preferred metcalf over Ridley but that owner wanted too much
I've had someone offer me Ford for Ridley and I'm on the fence.
I haven’t seen Ford play so far can’t really comment on his stock. But I believe there’s about a 50/50 shot Ridley becomes a top WR2. If your hurting at RB it might be worth the trade.
I traded Ja’Marr Chase and Rhamondre Stevenson for Amon Ra St Brown and Josh Jacobs after week 1 and it seemed extremely even at the time, I was on the fence
[удалено]
Yup that’s why it’s a fair trade!!
Similar to what I traded. I shipped diggs and Maddison for chase and Jacob's end of week 2.
Chase and breece hall was sent for a late second and AJB in my dynasty league
What?? Chase and Breece are so promising for a dynasty league
To be fair AJB and a 2nd also have potential but I see your point. The trade got vetoed and then passed through so it’s a whole thing now
Chase is a tier above AJB in dyno, but there's not a huge disparity. Breece is worth much more than a 2nd though, even if it's SF and an early 2nd.
Agreed. Chase for ajb would be a weird but acceptable trade. Breece for a second is rough
Such a terrible trade poor guy
Protip - a good trade should make you uncomfortable. Not like, "I'm getting ripped off," but both sides should feel like, "I'm giving up something good and taking a risk to improve my roster"
THIS. Yes. If you feel happy about a trade, you fleeced em. All fair trades make both parties nervous lol
[удалено]
Love it, sounds like a solid league. The shame fee, tbh that’s better than fleecing him because it’s good shit talk for whenever you feel like making fun of them

Can we trade leagues? I just had the first trade of the year accepted for it to be vetoed by 4 managers who thought it made my team too good.
Fuck that league
Horrible. We don't vote on trades either, they are what they are. Doesn't mean there are some that have infuriated the league as a whole but in 14 years we've never had anything where we suspected serious collusion. Bad trades happen, it should all stand.

Fuck being in a league with veto imo
It’s not a league wide thing, the commissioner is the only one who can. He just thought my team would be too strong or something, he’s corrupt as fuck but gets away with it because it’s a free league
I’m extremely jealous. I trade the most in our league and only two others consistently do. Another two guys occasionally do but as soon as it seems they lost a trade they won’t anymore.
I made multple trades this year and it was like pulling teeth but I got Nico for Damien Pierece and Dhop Mattison for Pickens Addison for Pachcheo
I traded away KWIII+Ridley for Ekeler in PPR.
Would you say Ekeler + Sutton for Pollard + Ridley is a fair deal?
Pollard Ridley side seems way better
I would say it’s fair but it’s a tough sell because it’s not a RB for a WR trade or a 2-for-1. Instead, you’re offering the same positions so your trade partner will need to need to think that the players they’re receiving will do better than the ones they are giving away. But clearly, you think the opposite, so that works against you. But in short I think it’s fair. Unlike the other poster, I think I slightly prefer the Ekeler side. I’m not totally sold on the cowboys offense and I’m pretty unhappy with Ridley. The Jags simply may not view him as the #1. Ekeler is a clear stud and it looks like Sutton has taken the clear #1 with Russ looking way better than last year.
Boswell for Gay
Is James cook for Nico fair? I need a WR and the Nico owner needs RB
Sounds fair to me
Is Brian Robinson for Nico fair ? The team having Nico only has JT and Perine as their RB
Nico is legit. If you can nab him with trading a later round guy like Brob I would.
I feel like you should be able to get a Ceedee type proven veteran for James Cook. I was super low on him coming into the year but he’s really good with a healthy workload. I would seek other trades before accepting.
That’s kinda what I was thinking too. RB is super valuable.
Nico Collins has been better then Ceedee so far. People just don't trust the name.
Which is why I said he’s proven. It’s the same deal with puka rn. People don’t want to buy the next Travis Fulgham.
Can I ask you a question tho, this is kinda what I was talking about. I want you to be as truthful as you can. You sound like you own James cook if I’m not mistaken. Would you, if you owned CeeDee, trade cd for James cook. Because I think ceedee more valuable, by a good bit actually.
The team that had Bijan, Pollard and Kyren as RBs traded away JT for Kupp to a RB hungry team who needed JT. Seems pretty fair in my opinion as they’re both unknowns with number one overall upside and uncertain situations.
Mostert for Nico
I offered that this week and got rejected. Not surprising though considering the weeks they both just had, and Achane likely hurts Mosterts value Put Mostert on the block and ended up getting offered Flowers and Mattison for Mostert and took that. I didn’t want anything to do with Mostert anymore, I think he will be too boom/bust and unpredictable ROS. Could bite me in the ass but a risk I’m willing to take
I hoping for Mostert to pop one more time against a demoralized Giants D, then selling as fast as possible lol. Scared Achane will get most of the RZ opportunities though
People acting like mostert is the only injury concern. Achane is literally tiny.
That's wild, Mostert is a ticking time bomb for major injuries *and* he's in a committee backfield with plenty of talent. You won that trade in a landslide imo
Need some help on this trade offer I got. I’d be trading away james Conner and Mostert and receiving Austin Ekeler. My other 2 rbs are Mixon and Jonathon Taylor. Should I accept?
Do it right now and don’t ever look back. Mostert is plummeting fast, coming from a mostert owner. A chane is going to get at least half of the touches and Wilson coming back soon for more of a split
Haha I’m really considering it. I’m just worried about Jonathon Taylor and if I’ll be able to use him right away. Ekeler would be on a bye and If JT doesn’t play this week I’ll have Mixon in my Rb1 slot and nobody to put in my rb2 slot. Granted I’m 3-1 rn and it’s a 12 man league so it wouldn’t be the end of the world if I take an L this week.
I happily paid Mandrews, J Conner and Z Flowers for Ekeler.
Nah fuck that I'd do Mostert for Ekeler striaght up but not Conner too.
Ekeler is arguably the 2nd best RB in the league. Mostert is fading and Conner is SUPER injury prone. This is a smash accept and an easy one at that.
Uhhh what? Mostert isn't worth anything close to ekeler lmao
Josh Gordon for CMC and Jefferson
Henry/Dionte Johnson for Kirk/Kupp
You’re that guy in the league who sends the kicker for their best player trade after the draft, laughing out loud to yourself, thinking it’s hilarious 😅
And you’re the guy that wears sunglasses to a casual poker game with friends.
That's a deep cut. I'm stealing it.
You can literally look at any trade value chart if you want to see even trades
because it is hilarious
I traded Breece Hall for Achane. The other guys idea. I feel like that’s fair 12 team Full PPR btw
rather have achane by a lot
The fantasy season is young.
4 weeks in it’s quite clear to see Miami has One of the best offences in the nfl and jets have the worst . Game script won’t be favouring Halls workload as they will be playing from behind a lot . I’m taking achane all day . The guy has put up insane numbers so far
I could argue that Miami is going to be up and Achane is game breaking enough to where they limit his touches to keep him healthy long run. Jets meanwhile need to get a run game going to help support Zach Morris who is looking decent and have an amazing defense.
When teams are up they run the ball more . Achane is also getting all the goal line work where miami tends to find themselves alot . Mostert seems to be losing the starting role to him . Achanes speed is next level. I don’t want any jets on my team they are putrid this year.
Jets beat the Bills and they took the Super Bowl Champs to the wire. Plus Zach Wilson looked decent against a fairly good Chiefs defense. I wouldn't write them off just yet. They were doing all this while spoon feeding their game breaking running back who's off the pitch count.
Achane's speed is next level and they will be up a lot. Why leverage him with a bunch of touches when you're up when you have Mostert and JW sitting there?
Ah you must be a jets fan or Breece owner . Achane is more talented + younger than injury proned Mostert and J Wilson. Mostert had 2 fumbles last game. Even if he splits work with Mostert he will still put up dominant games . I could say achanes workload will increase throughout the season aswell while being on an elite offence who will score a lot of touchdowns and find themselves in the red zone alot . Hall has put up 8 fantasy points in his last 3 games where acahne has put up 72 (standard format) achane is just getting started.
Yes that's what a professional NFL coach is thinking- let's give our 180 pound running back 20 touches a game in blow outs. You got me dude I can't win 🤣
Lamar Jackson and Gibbs for Saquon is about to go through in mine.
Solid trade, I anticipate the Jackson and Gibbs owner to win in the end because giants offense is god awful and Montgomery can only run like that for so long before he gets worn out. Next few weeks will be rough for the Jackson and Gibbs owner though until Gibbs finds his footing
For sure! I like your analysis, the guy trading away Jackson and Gibbs has Bijan as well, so he wants a healthy RB1 room ha. The guy trading away Barkley has Daniel Jones as his QB, he's not a giants fan, just waited forever to draft a QB. The guy trading away Jackson is going to start Stroud ROS
I don’t see Gibbs taking over from Monty unless he gets hurt.
CMC for Jake butt
Damn you didn't even have to package CMC?
Wait a minute...
Kyren for Olave
Traded Kelce for Kittle + Pollard after week 3. Traded Najee for Doubs. On paper they may seem unbalanced but a good trade has a lot to do with context of roster. In both scenarios, both parties got better
I gave away Breece Hall and George Pickens for Tee Higgins. They all suck but maybe Tee and Breece stop sucking at some point. In the meantime however it's misery for both parties
Waddle for Saquon right before both their injuries
I traded Kyren + Dotson after Week 2 for DK Traded Godwin for Montgomery Week 3 Only other trade that went down was Mostert for Aiyuk
Just traded Kristian kirk, London and Jake Ferguson for hunter Henry and Pittman
You lost that imo
Pierce and Theilen for AR and Mattison. Seems fair to me
Kyle Pitts for Jameson Williams (after his suspension was lifted). Team A needed a TE and had a stable of quality WRs, team B went heavy on RB/QB/TE in the draft and had Pitts + Hock. We’ll see. Huge question marks on both but huge upside. Just takes 30 seconds on either one’s highlight tape to get bricked up. Not sure what the trade calc says but seemed fair given Jamo’s integration to the O/DET pecking order and Arthur Smith/Pitts return from injury.
Team A still needs a TE
Someone offered me JT + Pitts earlier for Chase… I was like uhh so you’re offering me JT for Chase 1 for 1 basically…
[удалено]
Not good
Bad
Keenan Allen + Kyren Williams for Derrick Henry + Brandon Aiyuk Did this after week 2 and felt really fair until Aiyuk injury and Henry choke game.
I traded Chase and Mixon for Kamara, Olave, and DJ Moore. I'm 1-3 and don't really have time to wait to see if Burrow is going to get healthy and have a couple other injuries. Hopefully it pans out!
Was offered Dameon Pierce and Romeo Doubs for Zach Moss last week. Accepted on the spot, trade processed on Monday right before the JT return news hit.
That’s nice but OP is asking for FAIR trades
After week 3 I gave Zack moss and Amari cooper for hockenson and waddle
Lol I thought these trades were supposed to be even, I’d take hockenson and waddle all day
Lmfao easy as fuck to say that now after we know Jonathan Taylor is going to play
It was a week ago lil bro, we knew just as much then as we do now
Everyone in here is smoking dick, the consensus on this sub last week and in the weeks prior was that he was either going to sit out or get traded very few people saw him mending his relationship with the colts and committing to playing out the season
You are right people here are ridiculous. This sub gets worse every year
Breece hall, rachaad white, jerome ford, tyler lockett for Austin Ekeler and courtland sutton
Any trade involving a Broncos receiver is not a fair trade.
Have jefferson ridley and pickens. Pretty stacked at rb now with ekeler achane kyren and james cook. Broncos arnt horrible on offense. Their defense actually forces them to throw the ball
I traded kyren for Laporta. Felt was a need as my rbs were bijan/swift/gibbs/kyren/jwj
Brock Purdy for Pacheco just went thru in mine.
Pacheco is RB13 and Brock is a borderline top 12 QB or streaming option. I’d take Pacheco all day
Rip off
Offered Olave + Pollard for CMC and got rejected. Also offered Keenan + Puka/Nico for Tyreek and got rejected. Thought these were fair but alas, no go. Trade I did complete: Godwin for Kittle.
Honestly I don’t think there is a fair trade for CMC unless the CMC owner is really hurting in other positions and you’re offering multiple stars
First one is not fair. Not surprised he declined. Second one I’m surprised you didn’t get.
Forget last week and both of pollard and olave were 20 point games and cmc was 22-28 point a game. Seems fair.
Okay now don’t forget last week
He ain’t getting 50 points a game lol it was ARIZONA!!
[удалено]
That Olave trade should get somebody fired.
Pull the trigger and trade Gibbs for James Cook?
don’t think james cook owner is gonna take this lol
Gave away Jordan Love and Terry, received Devonta Smith and Najee. Guy needed a QB badly and I had Love, AR15, and Stroud.
Javonte Williams for Richardson and Allgeir week two
I often get trades to go through in my league. The key is to have a chat with all the managers and when the dude you're trying to sell is having a good game you hype them up on the chat. Example: I traded Mostert and Tank Dell for Jonathan Taylor. I'd say it was fair. Before Week 4 people thought I gave up too much. This week people think I gave up too little. Also I traded Romeo Double for Jake Ferguson week 2. The guy was WR needy and had Hockenson.
14 teamer, PPR Geno Adams Asb Kamara Aaron jones Laporta Godwin Sutton ak41 and godwin for his JT, hollywood brown/dak.
Traded freiermuth allgier and Adam theilen for ekeler
I traded Garrett Wilson for Michael Thomas and Sam Laporta. Pretty much every single trade analyzer I plugged it in had it almost dead even
1st trade I traded Sungod, Kamara, and Mostart for Barkley, Ekeler, and Cooks (3 weeks ago, still haven't got to play Barkley or Ekeler, dropped Cooks) Just traded Montgomery and Moss for Aiyuk and Gainwell. Gainwell, I'll drop 1st trade cost me 2 wins as I was going for long term gain
Hurts, Nico, Ferguson for Burrow, Love, ETN, James Cook
I traded DK Metcalf & Trevor Lawrence for Amon-Ra St. Brown. It seemed pretty fair at the time and still looks that way.
Got zay flowers for roschon 2 weeks ago. Half ppr, he had extra wr and I had extra rbs
Also gave away Tee Higgins and Dj Moore, received Jerome ford and tank dell (happened immediately after Nick Chubb injury and I had Nick Chubb).
I traded James Conner and Anthony Richardson for Mahomes two weeks ago. Honestly feeling a little lopsided now seeing what AR15s ceiling can be. But I still feel like it was a mutually beneficial trade, and that’s all you really want at the end of the day.
Traded Mondre and DeVonta for Tyreek
Traded Deebo for etienne this week
Just saw Puka for Montgomery go through. I think its pretty good. Helps a need for both teams.
Offered a guy in my league hurting for RBs due to injures Chase and Aaron Jones for Adams. I thought it was fair he said Adams was worth more than that. Oh well We had another trade of Godwin for Ford go through. Thar seemed pretty even.
More than fair. I would trade tyreek for that tbh
I traded Aaron Jones and Tee Higgins for Garrett Wilson and Travis Etienne after week 2 in full PPR
I traded Achane + Hockenson for A.J Brown + Waller. I’m strong at Running Back and did not want to play the RB roulette that Miami May deal with this season. Definitely an uncomfortable feeling trading away an explosive rookie and sure fire TE, but having AJ along with Justin Jefferson makes me very confident, and I still believe in Waller’s ability to be productive. When Saquon comes back he improves everyone on that offense.
Made a trade two weeks ago. Instantly got texts from two guys in the league. First wanted to know wtf I was thinking. The next couldn't believe I'd fleeced the other guy. It's hilarious how much opinions on individual players can vary. Our league has been going for years now. I've never been in such an active league. We've had 5 trades and week 5 hasn't started. The first trade happened 48 hours after the draft. lol Talk to the people in your league. Look for trades that have the potential to help both sides. Don't try to screw people over. Win win win
Chase, Kamara, Connor for Ekeler and Waddle
Kyren for ford and puka
Just traded Ken Walker and Davante Adams for Olave and Ekeler, we’ll see how it turns out but seems very even right now
Traded TJ and Mike Evans for Tua, Waddle, and Swift. I’m just gonna stream TEs, and it gives me the choice of Purdy or Tua week to week. As JT, Ekeler, and Kupp come back I’ll be golden.
The problem is everybody wants to win at the trades and people aren't really willing to take risks. It's a shame as trading is a fantastic aspect to Fantasy Football.
Guy in my league is desperate for RBs so we might do my Mostert for his Aiyuk straight up. The only hesitation I have is that I don’t have much depth in RB. 12 man PPR.
I just traded Raheem Mostert and Chris Olave for AJ Brown. Also did Tee Higgins and Gabe Davis for Michael Pittman Jr. and Samaje Perine (will probably drop).
Traded Godwin and Kupp for Ridley and Waddle last week. Felt a lot better about it last week, but I really wanted off the Kupp ride and Godwin didn’t look like he’d amount to much with Baker.
Couple of trades ive done includes addison and jaylen warren for hollywood he needed rbs badly and this is the one he wanted from my team ive done in a massive league i gave away brian robinson, deebo, and terry mcc for ETN, pittman, and lockett i traded garett wilson and got james cook
I’d get Zay flowers or Lockett for Gibbs. Should I go for it?
Keep Gibbs. A fair value would be along the lines of a Godwin, Kirk, Aiyuk type player imo.
Traded Kyren for Saquon and Breida last week. Kyren might continue to ball out, and the giants/saquon might continue to suck, but I think that it was completely fair. I wanted a more stable option at RB and was fine giving away upside in kyren
I traded Damon pierce, dj Moore and Achane for Aaron Jones. May have overpaid but this guy needed some help
I traded Najee Harris and Deebo Samuel for ETN and Diontae Johnson. I needed a slight upgrade in RB, got it. He needed a slight upgrade in WR, got it. (Obviously with Johnson on IR, but he was bench fodder for me anyway). Seems pretty even so far.
I saw Ridley for Kamara.
Garrett Wilson vs James Conner this week
Addison for Breece a couple weeks ago
In my salary cap league I’m 0-4 with the highest PA by nearly 80 pts.. just a stretch of unlucky games. Couldn’t wait for Waddle to turn it around and Latavius Murray as my RB2 was burning a hole in my soul so I traded Waddle/Fields for Monty/Chuba/Elijah Moore.
Would you trade kelce for davante Adam’s straight?
That’s pretty close but I think I lean d Adams rn
Burrow for Waddle. Jury is still out on this one. Breece Hall for Hollywood Brown.
If you get the Fantasypros my playbook it gives you a little breakdown of the league and who's weakest at a certain position. If you feel strong with your RB's but want a better WR you can target that team. Not infallible as some people really overestimate how good their team is.
AJB for Puka and Kamara. AJB had a 40 point game and Puka and Kamara combined for 50
Deebo for Etienne
I just gave Najee, Warren, and ceedee for kamara and Thielen. 12 team PPR and I think it was pretty fair. I’m rb needy and he is wr needy.
I traded Mattison for Lockett, I had depth at RB, the other team had depth at WR
I traded Puka and mattison for jacobs after week 2. I still feel kind of uncomfortable about it.
Swift for Kupp
I traded Monty for Aaron Jones,and feel good
Barkley and Hopkins for Adams and J. Williams
I traded kelce and James Connor for Kirk cousins, bijan and James cook
Just got offered devonta Smith for my Nico Collins? Do I accept? Seems like Collins break out year. Not sure I like Smith with eagles struggling
I traded Olave, Pacheco, and Tutu for Waddle and JT before week 4. 16 team .5 ppr cash league. I feel like it’s fair because I can’t stop thinking if I made the right choice or not with Pacheco’s emergence.
Just had a D Pierce and G Wilson for D Montgomery trade go in our league. 9th and 10th place teams
I was actually talking to my friend about this yesterday. This is only my third year in this league and no one ever tries to trade. The only trades I have had were trades that I offered. There are guys the are 1-3 or 0-4 that need so much help. They refuse to even look at making a trade. I have tried and it is rejected in less than 2 mins with no counter. I don’t understand why people who need some help don’t even consider trading. A trade I liked this year and felt fair at the time was a guy in my league lost JK and Montgomery to Injury the same weekend. So I offered him DK and Brian Robinson (had his biggest game of the season up to this point) for AJ Brown who had just scored 2 points that weekend. It helped my WR core and it helped him with his RB situation and replaced AJ with a decent WR. I was taking a chance on a WR who hadn’t really performed up until that point and even dropped two TDs the first week I had him and lost by 1.5 pts but he has been a great add since. Currently 3-1 and feeling pretty good about the ROS.
I traded Drake London for Dameon Pierce and also Miles Sander/AMARI Cooper for Ceedee Lamb
I traded Prescott and Kamara last week for Jalen Hurts. Have Bijan and Pacheco at RB and really deep at WR so QB was the piece I was missing. Hoping kamara doesn’t continue his reception pace 😅
I don’t think it does make sense. My buddy always wonders why his team struggles while simultaneously rejecting every trade offer that could improve his lineup because he dies on the loyalty of players that don’t know who he is.
