That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it
And if Rawls goes down again what will you do?

Yea I was just checking when I got him and it was last pick of the 3rd so I dont feel quite as bad. I know I didnt like him at all prior to draft and dont own him anywhere else but felt the value was about right there. Still wrong

Personally, I like to follow the trends of who started hot the year before and if they dropped off big time the second half of the season or not. Freeman obviously plumented, so I wasn't gonna touch him unless he went 4th or 5th (aka, crazy).

Should I pick up Coleman or Sims? My RBs are currently a mess. I have David Johnson, Rawls, Michael, White, Ivory, and Richard. I want to drop Michael for someone.

I think I'd rather drop White and Richard for both Sims and Coleman. Just more upside.

I would hold Michael while Rawls is coming off injury

12-team, standard scoring.

Dropped Rob Kelley for Terrance West on waivers this morning but have some long-term (not Week 2) questions.

Who's the better hold: Terrance West or Kenneth Dixon?

I'm have Antonio Brown, Larry Fitzgerald, Stefon Diggs, and Alshon Jeffery. Is it worth adding Tajae Sharpe to the mix?

At QB I have Russell Wilson and Tannehill. Is this Wentz guy worth a consideration?

And at TE, should I consider picking up Jesse James and dropping Delanie Walker?

Zack Miller, which is more of a ripoff. The sad thing is the guy I am trying to get Hyde from only has him because I traded him to him in the first place. My league overvalues all its players.

If the Hyde thing gains no legs, what do you think of Decker/Crabtree and Woodhead for one of those QBs? Is that asking too much?

Crabtree and Woodhead would be a starting point, though yeah you might have to give up a tiny bit more than just the QB. Throw in a 2017 3rd or something? I mean, you definitely don't need all of those QBs, so even if you do just go for Woodhead, that's not the worst thing for you. You're not losing that much on it and you'd be trading depth where you don't need it for a decent 1-2 year (at least) starter.

Not sure whether it'll make sense in the end, but you need to get him to take a WR (probably DJax), not an RB. Shouldn't be that hard a sell because his WRs are almost as bad as his RBs.

Yeah that was the other angle I was looking at. gently caress it, I'll start there. I wish I had a genuine RB3 on my roster right now. I have a 1, a 2 in Langford, who knows with Coleman, and then some lotto tickets. I dropped Forsett after he got cut, he would have been perfect. Oh well. Thank you.


Here's another trade idea:

Frank Gore and Kevin White

DeSean Jackson and Kamar Aiken

I'd be getting Gore and White. The team with Gore claims to be too strong at RB and weak at WR. I don't know if I agree with him but thats what he says.

I guess to keep talking myself into it, I'm not wild about Gore but if nothing else he's a starting RB who would be fine for bye week replacement if he stays healthy. I like White's upside a lot and he could be huge if Alshon gets dinged up. Kamar Aiken is trash I'd throw in to make it look better and I can get by without DeSean Jackson.

Like he will only agree to the trade if you bench Jones this week? I'd say that's collusion. After the trade he's your player, and you can do whatever you like with him.

Do it on Sunday so it processes the next day or whatever. He's basically saying he'll make the trade next week, right? Nothing weird or sketchy about that. It's not like he'd be playing Brady either, so he's fine waiting. Or do it now and sit Jones. That's your decision. If you'd be willing to sit Jones for a week, you're both looking at the trade as a rest of season decision, not a one week quick fix. If you're willing to sit him and it gets the trade done, I don't think that's collusion. The alternative is you don't make the trade and you STILL don't get to play either player this week.

Yeah 100% collusion, not even a gray area for me.

You two are meant to be competing this week, but if by mutual secret agreement you are not competing in good faith (and are only giving the appearance of good-faith competition), that's pretty much the definition of collusion.

It's actually a she, and she said she would be open to trading Jones next week. I am the one contemplating making the offer, since it means that I avoid the risk of Jones exploding and I also have the benefit of not facing him this week.

I don't consider it collusion since it's essentially no different than waiting a week and neither of us get an unfair advantage. That said it definitely feels like a gray area (and the disparity of responses suggests I am not alone) which is why I am here.

I consider collusion to be a conspiracy intended to cheat others. For example offering an unfair trade to take down a player, or merging teams with the intent of splitting the winnings.

I think just waiting til next week to make the trade rescues it from being collusion or even gray area. In exchange for not facing them this week, you run the risk of having to pay a higher price next week, of course.

As for definition of collusion, doing something like trading players to deal with bye weeks, then trading the players back afterwards, usually is considered collusion, and does not feel that different from what you're thinking about doing.

My league has had a couple trades like this, but the owners making the trade listed the condition in the notes section. As long as you make the league aware of the conditions I think it's fine, but waiting until next week is probably the best idea if you want to avoid gray areas.

It is an auction league, so no picks. You pretty much have my line of thinking down with this. My team is very young and cheap, which is the main reason I am hesitant to pull the trigger.

I have Dion Lewis on IR, I have Devonte Booker, DeAndre Washington and Paul Perkins on super cheap contracts and my RB2 is Jeremy Hill. (RB1 Lamar Miller) I scored the most points in the league this week and feel if I wait, a better RB2 will emerge from my own roster. Stafford and Carr are both going to be good this year and if I move them now, I think I am selling low.

With that info, just waiting is the better choice, right? I mean if I can't get Crabtree or Decker from him.

OK more trade questions:

My D.Jackson + K.Aiken for F.Gore + K.White got shot down and the counter offer is just Jackson for Gore straight up.

I'm less enthused, but thinking. At least he's interested in Jackson. His other RB's that I could target might be Theo Riddick, Arian Foster, or Rashad Jennings. No real interest in Foster or Jennings, and he might not bite on Riddick after last week. But if I could do either trade, what's better, Riddick for Jackson or Gore for Jackson?
