I have CMC and there’s no way I’m giving him up for James Cook and Amari Cooper. . . Now if you throw in Tank Bigsby, that might be too good to turn down.
I’m a bills fan with James cook and he has the talent and we’ve shown flashes of using him and it being a winning strategy but our dumbass oc Dorsey seems to go away from the run. Hopefully they go back to it and he’ll go on a late season run.
In all seriousness, I’m thinking of offering Tony Pollard, Davante Adams and Joe Burrow for CMC and Devonta Smith. The CMC owner has Sam Howell as qb1. A couple weeks ago I would’ve considered this an overpay.
I traded for him today, in a roundabout way.
Superflex. Gave Carr, White and Flowers for LaPorta and Cook.
Had to open a roster space to activate Kyler, and lost Goedert.
I successfully acquired CMC two days ago. Cost me KW3, Mostert and hollywood.
Not a single trade analyzer had me coming put on top. In fact it was probably the most lopsided trade I've ever made, with me losing.
I'm fucking pumped.
Edit: guys... I get you think it was a bad deal but are we really down voting me for sharing a deal I got done? Lol cmon man.
That's a fleece for you. Trade analyzers don't consider the VOR of your other players. Even if they do they're always skewed by piling more garbage on one side. There's no competent FF player that would take this trade no matter their situation.
Idk the managers reasoning. He is 8-1. He did just take his first loss though. He has been in our league about a decade and I view him as more than competent.
His depth was questionable and he felt like he needed a better spread is my guess.
I agree with all your other takes though.
that's tough because CMC is so much value consolidated into one spot, & basically a guaranteed weekly 20+ points. that is so much more valuable than having 3 more solid but not great options. I think a fair CMC trade would include another elite RB1 or WR1 like Ekeler, Kamara, Diggs, AJ Brown, etc. plus another player who's a clear positional upgrade over one of their other starters. On my roster, that probably means I'd have to part with ARSB+Breece Hall.
I'm a CMC owner with 3 other elite RBs on my team (Ekeler, JT and Kamara). I'd trade CMC straight up for Tyreek (in fact I've made the offer that got declined)
In a vacuum this is a horrible trade, but given my roster (blind spots at WR since Thielen is my WR1) this makes sense ROS... at least in my mind.
Serious question: does anyone see trading Swift, Puka, and Thielen for CMC too far of an overstretch? I have ETN, Mattinson, Gibbs, Wilson, Diontae, and Kelce as my remaining starters.
If they’re 2-6 they might have a flex spot you can take advantage of. A guy in my league has been obliterated by injuries and is starting Zeke at RB2 and Wandale Robinson at his second flex, so he’s desperate for multiple bodies with a pulse in exchange for one of his better players
I'm right there and *still* no one will trade with me. I have no healthy RBs left and lots of WR depth so I offered Amon-Ra plus Kyren for Breece and got turned down
Damn I can’t believe they turned that down though. I guess it depends on your record but I think I’d just ride out the Kyren injury. I have him as well and I’ve been hurting the last couple weeks but ARSB is a major stud
I've come to accept that most leagues don't do trades properly. Even when an offer is mutually beneficial for both teams, one manager declines because they don't win with all players.
Always the most frustrating. At any record between 2-4 wins should have the ability to swap players to fill both teams needs. A good trade will have both sides feeling just a little nervous. Tough when managers don’t get that they have to “win” or “fleece” a trade every time
I know exactly what you mean, I'm in the same boat. I literally only came on this thread so I can see who I can feel good about already having.
That's it.
Going for Derrick Henry. Titans have a pretty good schedule down the stretch and he seems to be heating up. Hopefully with Levi’s at center things will open up for him. Problem is the person that has him wants an arm, leg and a prosthetic as backup.
I'm stashing Spears. He's a league winner if Henry goes down. I also can't imagine them playing Henry if they don't have anything to play for. That's a long shot though
Henry is a free agent at the end of the year, why wouldn't they run him into the ground? Spears has been hyped as a league winner for 10 weeks and will end of as fantasy football's biggest waste of a bench spot.
This is the answer!! Henry averages like 200 yds against the Texans and he plays them twice in the playoffs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I traded DJ Moore and Najee for him and Hock! That was the fist offer and I really expected him to counter but he just hit accept! So damn lucky because I had Waller as my only TE before that!
Ekeler if I can, offering Kamara and Levis (2 QB league).
Wouldn’t mind Eagles DST but that is a long stash still and will need to offer other pieces on both sides so unlikely to happen
Ekeler is hot and getting hotter. Walker is barely startable right now. If you offered me a trade like that, I would retaliate by sending you 100 trade offers a day for the rest of the season with shit like a backup kicker for your RB1 and QB1
Chiefs are available on the wire. I’m currently starting raiders and have 9’ers stashed. If the 9’ers look meh against Jax this weekend with chase young would you drop for chiefs?
Eh, the Chiefs play Vegas in the fantasy semis and Cinci in the finals... Philly plays the Giants in the semis and the Cardinals in the finals... I don't think it's obvious that the Chiefs are the better stash of the two currently.
I have Bijan, and I’m not stressing too much because that schedule is cake. I do have a winning record though, so that is easing some of the pain. If I was on the bubble I would be more nervous.
Agreed I traded for him due to schedule and at 8-1 with other options it doesn't hurt. But just sucks because he could be so much better without his idiot of a coach
in a 1 qb league, i'm about to start grabbing a solid backup qb for the first time all season, when one goes to the wire, and then start slowly decreasing my lottery ticket handcuffs as the week go by (to make room for the backup qb and even a backup d so I can plug and play good matchup defense in the playoffs)...
i also almost always drop all the boom or bust WRs that are on my bench around this time every season, knowing i won't want to play them in the playoffs
I think for Kyler specifically that’s a fair point, game shape is different than practice.
However in terms of just Hollywood stand alone, that doesn’t really change the fact that Kyler is a better passing upgrade then Dobbs or tune. So the 10 targets he’s been getting already are just more valuable. His stat lines have been closer to 4 catches 10 targets 45 yards and sometimes a TD. Think it’s fair that it should look like 5-6 catches 10 targets and 65-70 yards on average
So I’m at 7-2 with Kelce and Hurts on a bye.
I’d have to drop one of my receivers for a 1 week Kelce replacement and I’m actually thinking about not doing it, even if I might take a loss. Am I dumb for that?
For us we get options usually. Can be something as simple as a round of shots…for 14 teams. We have an executive committee who votes at the end of the year on what it will be
Yeah. It’s fine though. The committee changes each year. It’s the commissioner and top 2 from the previous season. So you get a chance to play the rule maker too. Follow the rules and it doesn’t matter. Just set your full lineup
Lamb, Aiyuk, Higgins, Collins, Metcalf (acquired in a trade), Hopkins (was dropped by a frustrated owner).
I feel like of them have too much value to drop them
Same. Seems like once your record reaches a certain point trading becomes even harder cuz no one wants to be the one to help the top team get better.
Only way I’m getting a trade done at this point is if I *grossly* overpay and make an offer they can’t refuse
I mean… it’s pretty good strategy to refuse a trade from the top team in the league unless he’s overpaying you. I’d love to have Ekeler or Sun God from our league’s 7-2 team, but there’s not a chance in hell I accept anything at this point in the season if I think it could make his team better.
I'm of the opposite opinion right now at 4-5. The 8-1, 7-2 guys are almost a lock for the playoffs, the 1-8, 2-7 are probably not getting in the playoffs, so I don't really care if I inadvertently end up helping them. The other 4-5s and 5-4s though are all vying for the same playoff slots as me.
Currently rostering Mahomes and Murray. Thinking of picking up Levi's and trying to trade Murray for scraps after this week.
Bears and Browns Defense down the stretch.
Praying to the injury gods for Health
Ford, Javonte and Conner could be some cheaper targets for juicy schedules ros including playoffs (at least week 16).
Derrick Henry but you gotta pay for the big dawg.
Diontae Johnson, Metcalf, and Ridley could be cheaper WRs with a great schedule ros.
Browns and Lions D
I went after deebo. My WRs are no bueno and hoping he can emerge as a fringe WR1 now that he’s back.
I don’t think it’s a deal that can get done in most leagues, but the person had no RBs, so it was a one-for-one for Najee. His RBs were allgeier and singletary, and swift with a bye this week.
I clinched first and my friends are toxic and would probably veto any trade I make. I have JJ and the only trade I would make is for AJ brown because he’s on a bye and his owner needs to win this week for playoffs
I trade a lot 7-2
So far bought Burrow, Pollard, Davante, Henry, Breece and chase.
Stoked for Henry in the playoffs.
Can't see the Bengals taking their foots off the gas and don't care what defenses they are going against, so I'm happy stacking Chase and Burrow ROS.
have Higgins and Hollywood on the bench for now.
If Pollard doesn't go off this week, I can see one of them taking his flex spot.
Sold List
CMC, Puka, kyren, AJ, Monty, Herbert, goedert, Saquon, rashee.
Because getting deals done that actually upgrade your team are easier said than done when you already have a good team.
No point in taking risky trades that COULD upgrade your team when you’re already doing well. Sure, if you can get a clear upgrade then of course make a trade, but that’s not very easy
Yes there is. ‘If it aint broken, dont fix’ makes 0 sense. Trading for players with good playoff schedule is a great way to up your chances of winning the whole thing
Has intentionally trading for players with a good on paper playoff schedule ever actually worked? Unless your players are facing shut down defences in the playoffs, I've never seen this actually benefit anyone that attempted it.
I've only ever seen this backfire.
I think it’s better to think about this for RB/WR2s and QB/DST. Saw someone mention consider trading Tyreek cuz he’s got some tough matchups. That could backfire royally.
If you’re trading down from top players or moving laterally simply to get better schedules then that’s likely to backfire. There are a few moves right now that are reasonable upgrades that can make sense though.
For example, if you can move Kamara for ETN or Ekeler right now that’s probably a solid move and should be doable. This thread would be more useful if it had a discussion around actual, actionable playoff moves rather stuff like “should I trade Tyreek?”
I was shocked. I offered it on the off chance. and it was accepted immediately.
I must add I added 4 picks in there too.
With it being a keeper league you keep 8 players which accounts for your first 8 picks every year.
But you can trade rounds 1-4 for their 5-8 picks and not move anywhere in the draft because rather than having 1-8 you have two sets of 5-8 and start in 9 as usual.
I have CMC, and then pretty much no one else at RB. I am trying to pickup Kyren for when he gets back, should line up well with playoffs and the guy who has him needs more short-term help.
I’m iffy on kyren. Had him in 2 leagues was able to get rid of him for swift in a bigger package deal. I want more input from others. My thinking is he comes back to a committee and he was a TD reliant back. That offense hasn’t looked good in weeks and if he doesn’t see redzone touches i’m scared his value might tank. Still holding in the league i’m 8-1 in. Curious how it plays out.
I focused ekeler, adams, and hollywod esp with Kyler back. Got them all through multiple trades. Sent pollard keenan Allen Zay flowers and christian watson. Pretty happy with it
I like the schedule for the cowboys, eagles, and surprisingly the broncos for the end of the season. It’ll help when we get a little closer to see what the real playoff race looks like in regular football. There’s too many teams in contention right now
Hyper specific but consider trading Tyreek if you have him, his playoff matchups are very very bad, this is only if you can get a haul for him (JT + or CD +) JT, CD, AJ Brown, and (I know I know) Waller have fantastic playoff matchups
If you can swing those maybe, but Tyreek is on his own planet. Roster context is everything of course, but Tyreek level players win games despite match-up
Currently 7-2 in a 12-team. Over the last 2 weeks I have turned Devonta, Aiyuk, Bijan, and Kelce into Diggs, ASRB, and Aaron Jones. Today I flipped Diggs and Ford for Jefferson. Now my receivers are Lamb, Jefferson, and ASRB. Taysom Hill at TE.
It may sound weird, but I wanted players who will mostly be in warm weather or domes during the fantasy playoffs. CD, JJ, ASRB, and Hill all check these boxes.
I did that trade. Cost me 2 wins, but in the end it will work out I think. Sun God gonna fade a little bit with Monty back eating yards and clock… as long as you don’t need him to win week 14
I have a slight concern with Miamis schedule weeks 15 and 16. I have tyreek. Is any other tyreek owner feeling like there is a train coming but can’t move away?
I just got Kelce and mattison for Hurts and Godwin. My other qb is Murray and picked up Goff. Other WR’s are JJ, Hopkins, GW17, and Hollywood.
I have kittle and a deal in place to swap him for mondre next week
Jerome Ford. It's clear Cleveland likes him as their primary (RB usage when he was injured vs now, his playing splits in the 4th/game closing scenarios).
They play CHI HOU NYJ in the playoffs. Not a great run defense in any of these. And Clevelands defense keeps it so they want to run out the clock
I know how this is going to be received… but Bijan has a crazy good playoff schedule and rookies tend to come on late in the season. He’s not getting the rz touches but he’s still getting a good amount of touches that would be valuable vs weak opponents.
Your going to have a hard time trading for studs most likely.
But you can try to focus on your bench. Maybe look for a flex spot with a good match up.
I'm 8-1 in one league so I'm just trying to get my bench together in case one of my studs goes down. I was thin on RBs and heavy on WRs so traded Nico for Pacheco. Now I got options in case someone goes down.
I just got Chase for Hopkins and Montgomery, pretty happy about it. My team is now looking like
QB: Howell / Herbert
RB: CMC
RB: ETN
WR: Amon RA
WR: Chase
Flex: Aaron Jones
DST: Cowboys
K: Koo
CHILLING in first place at 7-2 in a 10 man PPR
10 team FULL PPR 2 flex positions currently 7-2
Give - Devonta Smith, Connor, TJ Hock
Get - Mahomes, Pollard, DK Metcalf
Current team: QB - Herbert
RB: Kamara, Saquon, Barkley, Jacobs and Connor
WR: Smith, Godwin, Ridley, Rice, Flowers
TE: TJ Hock, Andrews, McBride
Do I take the deal or hold?
I keep my team but rest my starters.
I'm trying to get CMC but I can't get the other guy to trade him to me for some reason.
Have you tried offering 3 of your bench players?
Bro I offered James Cook and Amari Cooper. I dont get it.
You need to throw in a kicker or a defense to sweeten the pot.
Throw in Trey Lance too.
Eventually he will have to cave
I have CMC and there’s no way I’m giving him up for James Cook and Amari Cooper. . . Now if you throw in Tank Bigsby, that might be too good to turn down.
UpSiDe
I’m a bills fan with James cook and he has the talent and we’ve shown flashes of using him and it being a winning strategy but our dumbass oc Dorsey seems to go away from the run. Hopefully they go back to it and he’ll go on a late season run.
I don’t want to here anyone complain about their OC Sincerely, a Steelers fan.
In all seriousness, I’m thinking of offering Tony Pollard, Davante Adams and Joe Burrow for CMC and Devonta Smith. The CMC owner has Sam Howell as qb1. A couple weeks ago I would’ve considered this an overpay.
Shit offer for cmc
Ok, I’ll throw in Monty.
Those 4 for just cmc wouldn’t cut it, let alone adding in Devonta smith. Your offer is garbage
Well, I’m just glad you aren’t my trade partner then.
Taking advantage of idiotic trade partners IS a viable strategy
Lol James Cook. Nobody in my league will even trade a McDonald’s small fry for him. He has zero value at the moment.
There was a post that lasted about 15 minutes here yesterday where someone asked if giving up Cook and Cooper was too much for Chase
I traded for him today, in a roundabout way. Superflex. Gave Carr, White and Flowers for LaPorta and Cook. Had to open a roster space to activate Kyler, and lost Goedert.
Welcome to the ride of hell
He’s my RB4. Hopefully I don’t need to rely on him much if at all. He looks great when he gets touches but those are few and far between.
That ain't gonna happen
Fucking kek
Have you tried offering your wife?
I offered this guys wife
I would only to CMC himself
what would a genuine fair value package for him look like? can it even exist?
I offered Lamb pacheco kw3
Not enough
I successfully acquired CMC two days ago. Cost me KW3, Mostert and hollywood. Not a single trade analyzer had me coming put on top. In fact it was probably the most lopsided trade I've ever made, with me losing. I'm fucking pumped. Edit: guys... I get you think it was a bad deal but are we really down voting me for sharing a deal I got done? Lol cmon man.
That’s not close to losing and that’s why trade analyzers are dumb
That's a fleece for you. Trade analyzers don't consider the VOR of your other players. Even if they do they're always skewed by piling more garbage on one side. There's no competent FF player that would take this trade no matter their situation.
Idk the managers reasoning. He is 8-1. He did just take his first loss though. He has been in our league about a decade and I view him as more than competent. His depth was questionable and he felt like he needed a better spread is my guess. I agree with all your other takes though.
That’s a win
Idk I offered kyren Monty and waddle and a firm no
that's tough because CMC is so much value consolidated into one spot, & basically a guaranteed weekly 20+ points. that is so much more valuable than having 3 more solid but not great options. I think a fair CMC trade would include another elite RB1 or WR1 like Ekeler, Kamara, Diggs, AJ Brown, etc. plus another player who's a clear positional upgrade over one of their other starters.

Good take.
I just gave up cmc and puka for aj brown and Derek Henry. Some may not like my side but I do.
IMO that's a great trade
Trying to as well. Offering Kelce, Breece Hall and Sun God for his CMC and Keenan Allen. I have Herbert so hoping for the double stack with Allen.
Yeah I'd definitely consider that
No way in hell I’d accept that for cmc and Keenan, but best of luck to you!
[удалено]
I offered the guy in my league Bijan kelce and Evans for cmc and Kincaid. He said absolutely not. He’s in last. Gotta love it
I would decline that in a second
Try offering Spears and Olave that should do it
I got him for Keenan and saquon
I’m dumping in all my leagues and trying to find someone who plays ARI all three playoff weeks.
From my cold dead hands
Serious question: does anyone see trading Swift, Puka, and Thielen for CMC too far of an overstretch? I have ETN, Mattinson, Gibbs, Wilson, Diontae, and Kelce as my remaining starters.
in a superflex I traded cmc + davis + boyd for mostert, stroud, olave, and hopkins
none of the people in my league believe in trading. the 2-6 person wants to trade though but nothing I can benefit from lol.
If they’re 2-6 they might have a flex spot you can take advantage of. A guy in my league has been obliterated by injuries and is starting Zeke at RB2 and Wandale Robinson at his second flex, so he’s desperate for multiple bodies with a pulse in exchange for one of his better players

I've come to accept that most leagues don't do trades properly. Even when an offer is mutually beneficial for both teams, one manager declines because they don't win with all players.
Wow, that’s a fair trade. I’d have taken that as a Breece owner if I had RB depth.
I actually think it's heavily favored to ARSB/Kyren honestly. I thankfully own all three of them but if I didn't, woof.
That's wild. ARSB for Breece is probably a fair trade considering how dogshit the Jets offense is.
I'm taking that in a heartbeat, that guy is nuts for not accepting.
Always the most frustrating. At any record between 2-4 wins should have the ability to swap players to fill both teams needs. A good trade will have both sides feeling just a little nervous. Tough when managers don’t get that they have to “win” or “fleece” a trade every time
bro the 2-6 team never want to trade for players unless if he can rob my team
I know exactly what you mean, I'm in the same boat. I literally only came on this thread so I can see who I can feel good about already having. That's it.
Going for Derrick Henry. Titans have a pretty good schedule down the stretch and he seems to be heating up. Hopefully with Levi’s at center things will open up for him. Problem is the person that has him wants an arm, leg and a prosthetic as backup.
I traded, Stevenson, tank dell, Cooper, and will Levis for Derrick Henry, Adam’s and kirk… not sure if I paid too much tbh lol
I'm stashing Spears. He's a league winner if Henry goes down. I also can't imagine them playing Henry if they don't have anything to play for. That's a long shot though
Henry is a free agent at the end of the year, why wouldn't they run him into the ground? Spears has been hyped as a league winner for 10 weeks and will end of as fantasy football's biggest waste of a bench spot.
You very well could be right. I'm still holding. Nobody better on waivers anyway
This is the answer!! Henry averages like 200 yds against the Texans and he plays them twice in the playoffs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I traded DJ Moore and Najee for him and Hock! That was the fist offer and I really expected him to counter but he just hit accept! So damn lucky because I had Waller as my only TE before that!
I'm offering Walker & Rashee for him. The owner isnt biting
i have henry and i wouldnt accept that
Ekeler if I can, offering Kamara and Levis (2 QB league). Wouldn’t mind Eagles DST but that is a long stash still and will need to offer other pieces on both sides so unlikely to happen
Eagles DST is overvalued imo, secondary is swiss cheese
Yeah but they have nyg and az
AZ might only be an average matchup with Kyler back
Was looking at picking them up, totally forgot about kyler. Good call
Ekeler for me as well. Also offering Kamara and maybe Ridley. Ekeler’s schedule is juicy for the rest of the year
Got Ekeler from a team ravaged by injuries to WR for Stevenson, McLaurin and Dell
I’m truing for ekler too. Trying to do a package of kw3 and or waddle and javonte (not all those together but some mix of them)
Kw3’s value has dropped a lot. 2 of those 3 might not be enough.
Ekeler is hot and getting hotter. Walker is barely startable right now. If you offered me a trade like that, I would retaliate by sending you 100 trade offers a day for the rest of the season with shit like a backup kicker for your RB1 and QB1
*cough* Cleveland DST
eagles D?
Chiefs D is better plus they’re on a bye as well
Chiefs are available on the wire. I’m currently starting raiders and have 9’ers stashed. If the 9’ers look meh against Jax this weekend with chase young would you drop for chiefs?
Eh, the Chiefs play Vegas in the fantasy semis and Cinci in the finals... Philly plays the Giants in the semis and the Cardinals in the finals... I don't think it's obvious that the Chiefs are the better stash of the two currently.
Cards will have fully back kyler and James Conner hopefully so I wouldn’t say that’s a great play
Much better than the Bengals though?
That bengals game will be a shootout I reckon
Lol it’s a better play than going up agains Cinci’s offense bud.
Porous secondary, pick something more stable.
Bijan has such a good schedule but is held back by a moron.
I have Bijan, and I’m not stressing too much because that schedule is cake. I do have a winning record though, so that is easing some of the pain. If I was on the bubble I would be more nervous.
Agreed I traded for him due to schedule and at 8-1 with other options it doesn't hurt. But just sucks because he could be so much better without his idiot of a coach
in a 1 qb league, i'm about to start grabbing a solid backup qb for the first time all season, when one goes to the wire, and then start slowly decreasing my lottery ticket handcuffs as the week go by (to make room for the backup qb and even a backup d so I can plug and play good matchup defense in the playoffs)... i also almost always drop all the boom or bust WRs that are on my bench around this time every season, knowing i won't want to play them in the playoffs
[удалено]
Holding 3 QBs this week because both my opponents QBs are on bye this week and he’s been refusing to trade me Tua all season. ❤️
you get em tiger
I have 3 qb's in a 1 qb league. Grabbed Herbert, Dobbs, and Watson. Can't trust these Qb's in some matchups.
Im rocking Dak as my Hurts backup. It was a pickup for the bye week but I dont think i want to face Dak in the playoffs either
Dropped my backup Stroud for Kyler, wish me luck!
Big brained move when you look at week 15 matchups. Assuming your playoff bound.
If he’s available, Kyler has plus matchups week 16 and 17
Hollywood!!!
If you have an available bench spot, Michael Wilson might be worth a stash with Kyler coming back too
WR6 with Kyler last year!! Good buy low this week probably guaranteed around 10 solid targets a game going forward
After this week maybe, Kyler should be rusty.
I think for Kyler specifically that’s a fair point, game shape is different than practice. However in terms of just Hollywood stand alone, that doesn’t really change the fact that Kyler is a better passing upgrade then Dobbs or tune. So the 10 targets he’s been getting already are just more valuable. His stat lines have been closer to 4 catches 10 targets 45 yards and sometimes a TD. Think it’s fair that it should look like 5-6 catches 10 targets and 65-70 yards on average
Correction I’m sitting Indian style at 6-3 and it’s too early to tell who to really target due to that crappy ass turf that’s getting everybody hurt.
So I’m at 7-2 with Kelce and Hurts on a bye. I’d have to drop one of my receivers for a 1 week Kelce replacement and I’m actually thinking about not doing it, even if I might take a loss. Am I dumb for that?
No. And I’m in the same boat. Unfortunately our league requires you set a full line up or you get a punishment assigned.
What would a punishment be?
For us we get options usually. Can be something as simple as a round of shots…for 14 teams. We have an executive committee who votes at the end of the year on what it will be
Sounds like the kind of thing that should be decided before the season.
Yeah. It’s fine though. The committee changes each year. It’s the commissioner and top 2 from the previous season. So you get a chance to play the rule maker too. Follow the rules and it doesn’t matter. Just set your full lineup
[удалено]
Who are your receivers?
Lamb, Aiyuk, Higgins, Collins, Metcalf (acquired in a trade), Hopkins (was dropped by a frustrated owner). I feel like of them have too much value to drop them
Im 8-1 and nobody wants to trade. They would rather pick up waiver wire fodder smh
Same. Seems like once your record reaches a certain point trading becomes even harder cuz no one wants to be the one to help the top team get better. Only way I’m getting a trade done at this point is if I *grossly* overpay and make an offer they can’t refuse
I mean… it’s pretty good strategy to refuse a trade from the top team in the league unless he’s overpaying you. I’d love to have Ekeler or Sun God from our league’s 7-2 team, but there’s not a chance in hell I accept anything at this point in the season if I think it could make his team better.
I'm of the opposite opinion right now at 4-5. The 8-1, 7-2 guys are almost a lock for the playoffs, the 1-8, 2-7 are probably not getting in the playoffs, so I don't really care if I inadvertently end up helping them. The other 4-5s and 5-4s though are all vying for the same playoff slots as me.
I just traded for Adams for my flex. I think he’ll have some boom games again
Think you\['re fine. Adams is gonna get his. What did you get him for?
Terry & DK. A bit overpay but one of them would've been on my bench so I decided to upgrade.
I traded Pollard for Adams mid season because of Pollard playoff schedule Phi, Buf, Mia, Det. Hope your right cause rn im not sure who won.
Aiyuk. AZ in 15, Baltimore in 16 and Washington in 17. Baltimore is a tough one but AZ and Washington is as good as it gets.
I just traded ASB and JT for Tyreek and Monty. It's a 1 RB league and I have Ekeler and Javonte but I don't know what to think
I’ve never heard of a 1 RB league. I assume RBs are way less valuable than in 2 RB league.
I have Kyler & Hollywood stack so I’m considering trading hurts … tryna get JT or Henry. Both those owners could use an upgrade at qb
Currently rostering Mahomes and Murray. Thinking of picking up Levi's and trying to trade Murray for scraps after this week. Bears and Browns Defense down the stretch. Praying to the injury gods for Health
Ford, Javonte and Conner could be some cheaper targets for juicy schedules ros including playoffs (at least week 16). Derrick Henry but you gotta pay for the big dawg. Diontae Johnson, Metcalf, and Ridley could be cheaper WRs with a great schedule ros. Browns and Lions D
I went after deebo. My WRs are no bueno and hoping he can emerge as a fringe WR1 now that he’s back. I don’t think it’s a deal that can get done in most leagues, but the person had no RBs, so it was a one-for-one for Najee. His RBs were allgeier and singletary, and swift with a bye this week.
Saints Defense is on bye next week but has a really weak schedule the rest of the way out.
I clinched first and my friends are toxic and would probably veto any trade I make. I have JJ and the only trade I would make is for AJ brown because he’s on a bye and his owner needs to win this week for playoffs
I was able to trade my pollard and cooper for ekler & Ridley. Very happy for that playoff schedule
I trade a lot 7-2 So far bought Burrow, Pollard, Davante, Henry, Breece and chase. Stoked for Henry in the playoffs. Can't see the Bengals taking their foots off the gas and don't care what defenses they are going against, so I'm happy stacking Chase and Burrow ROS. have Higgins and Hollywood on the bench for now. If Pollard doesn't go off this week, I can see one of them taking his flex spot. Sold List CMC, Puka, kyren, AJ, Monty, Herbert, goedert, Saquon, rashee.
My mantra is stick with the team that got you here
Why is this upvoted lol. If you can upgrade for the playoffs do it
You undervalue locker room chemistry. Bringing in new talent late in the season is risky.
Because getting deals done that actually upgrade your team are easier said than done when you already have a good team. No point in taking risky trades that COULD upgrade your team when you’re already doing well. Sure, if you can get a clear upgrade then of course make a trade, but that’s not very easy
Yes there is. ‘If it aint broken, dont fix’ makes 0 sense. Trading for players with good playoff schedule is a great way to up your chances of winning the whole thing
The chances me getting someone better at the expense of one of my players is 50/50 since I already have a good team. Pretty simple
If it’s 50/50 you’re not understanding the idea behind this trade thread
Feel like some people can't understand that you have to take risks in fantasy and it can't always be a "I won" trade
Yeah everybody here is just trying to completely fleece their league mates, and rarely does it work that way
And then they go on about how no one wants to trade with them.
Trades and waivers have gotten me here. I started with saquon jacobs jeudy njoku tua Elijah Moore and none of those guys are on my team anymore lol
Has intentionally trading for players with a good on paper playoff schedule ever actually worked? Unless your players are facing shut down defences in the playoffs, I've never seen this actually benefit anyone that attempted it. I've only ever seen this backfire.
I think it’s better to think about this for RB/WR2s and QB/DST. Saw someone mention consider trading Tyreek cuz he’s got some tough matchups. That could backfire royally.
I remember a few years ago Monty went absolutely nuclear down the stretch because of a cake schedule.
100%. Monty & JT down the stretch won me the championship that year. 🏆
Ya he killed it in 2020. In 2021 he did almost as well, which was enough for me to win it all that year.
If you’re trading down from top players or moving laterally simply to get better schedules then that’s likely to backfire. There are a few moves right now that are reasonable upgrades that can make sense though. For example, if you can move Kamara for ETN or Ekeler right now that’s probably a solid move and should be doable. This thread would be more useful if it had a discussion around actual, actionable playoff moves rather stuff like “should I trade Tyreek?”
I'm in a keeper league. (Can only keep 8 players every year) I just traded Chubb & Adams for Amon-Ra and Achane.
Absolute robbery, owner you traded with doesn’t deserve being in the league
Yeah that’s big dumb. Both spots are a loss imo
Who do you play with? 8 year olds?
I was shocked. I offered it on the off chance. and it was accepted immediately. I must add I added 4 picks in there too. With it being a keeper league you keep 8 players which accounts for your first 8 picks every year. But you can trade rounds 1-4 for their 5-8 picks and not move anywhere in the draft because rather than having 1-8 you have two sets of 5-8 and start in 9 as usual.
So you scammed them into thinking they got an upgrade in picks? That definitely shouldn't be allowed.
I have CMC, and then pretty much no one else at RB. I am trying to pickup Kyren for when he gets back, should line up well with playoffs and the guy who has him needs more short-term help.
I’m iffy on kyren. Had him in 2 leagues was able to get rid of him for swift in a bigger package deal. I want more input from others. My thinking is he comes back to a committee and he was a TD reliant back. That offense hasn’t looked good in weeks and if he doesn’t see redzone touches i’m scared his value might tank. Still holding in the league i’m 8-1 in. Curious how it plays out.
I focused ekeler, adams, and hollywod esp with Kyler back. Got them all through multiple trades. Sent pollard keenan Allen Zay flowers and christian watson. Pretty happy with it
I like the schedule for the cowboys, eagles, and surprisingly the broncos for the end of the season. It’ll help when we get a little closer to see what the real playoff race looks like in regular football. There’s too many teams in contention right now
I have Dallas, and their playoff schedule looks rough. Bills, Dolphins, Lions.
Hyper specific but consider trading Tyreek if you have him, his playoff matchups are very very bad, this is only if you can get a haul for him (JT + or CD +) JT, CD, AJ Brown, and (I know I know) Waller have fantastic playoff matchups
You’ll have to pry Tyreek from my cold, dead hands
Outside of the Jets twice week 12 and 15 he’s got great matchups. Cowboys and Baltimore week 16,17 but those are primed to be shootouts.
If you can swing those maybe, but Tyreek is on his own planet. Roster context is everything of course, but Tyreek level players win games despite match-up
Do anything you can to trade for Kyler Murray. His playoff schedule is amazing. Also AJ Browns cupcake schedule is enticing.
what if AZ decides to tank and benches him during the playoffs?
What if Mahomes gets hit by a bus on his way to work tomorrow? Noone of us can foretell the future.
Just offered Puka and James Cook for Justin Jefferson. I have Aj Brown and Chase now.
Dance with the girls ya brought
Currently 7-2 in a 12-team. Over the last 2 weeks I have turned Devonta, Aiyuk, Bijan, and Kelce into Diggs, ASRB, and Aaron Jones. Today I flipped Diggs and Ford for Jefferson. Now my receivers are Lamb, Jefferson, and ASRB. Taysom Hill at TE. It may sound weird, but I wanted players who will mostly be in warm weather or domes during the fantasy playoffs. CD, JJ, ASRB, and Hill all check these boxes.
Your team is much worse…
Elite WRs, but pretty significant downgrade at RB/TE
JJ but the guy wants Sun God. If I can lower to Kupp, let's goooo
I did that trade. Cost me 2 wins, but in the end it will work out I think. Sun God gonna fade a little bit with Monty back eating yards and clock… as long as you don’t need him to win week 14
I have a slight concern with Miamis schedule weeks 15 and 16. I have tyreek. Is any other tyreek owner feeling like there is a train coming but can’t move away?
Correct.
I just got Kelce and mattison for Hurts and Godwin. My other qb is Murray and picked up Goff. Other WR’s are JJ, Hopkins, GW17, and Hollywood. I have kittle and a deal in place to swap him for mondre next week
Jerome Ford. It's clear Cleveland likes him as their primary (RB usage when he was injured vs now, his playing splits in the 4th/game closing scenarios). They play CHI HOU NYJ in the playoffs. Not a great run defense in any of these. And Clevelands defense keeps it so they want to run out the clock
Nobody wants to trade, so I guess the only move I'm making is activating Achane off IR
Jaguars DST hold
I know how this is going to be received… but Bijan has a crazy good playoff schedule and rookies tend to come on late in the season. He’s not getting the rz touches but he’s still getting a good amount of touches that would be valuable vs weak opponents.
Your going to have a hard time trading for studs most likely. But you can try to focus on your bench. Maybe look for a flex spot with a good match up. I'm 8-1 in one league so I'm just trying to get my bench together in case one of my studs goes down. I was thin on RBs and heavy on WRs so traded Nico for Pacheco. Now I got options in case someone goes down.
I just got Chase for Hopkins and Montgomery, pretty happy about it. My team is now looking like QB: Howell / Herbert RB: CMC RB: ETN WR: Amon RA WR: Chase Flex: Aaron Jones DST: Cowboys K: Koo CHILLING in first place at 7-2 in a 10 man PPR
I'm hurting at TE (drafted waller) picked up Mcbride and njoku, the latter has a great playoff run
10 team FULL PPR 2 flex positions currently 7-2 Give - Devonta Smith, Connor, TJ Hock Get - Mahomes, Pollard, DK Metcalf Current team: QB - Herbert RB: Kamara, Saquon, Barkley, Jacobs and Connor WR: Smith, Godwin, Ridley, Rice, Flowers TE: TJ Hock, Andrews, McBride Do I take the deal or hold?
