Anyone playing Chargers D/ST this week against the Buffalo rookie? Thinking of playing them over Seattle given the matchup and the recent Seahawks injuries.

I'm in a Dynasty league for the first time ever this year. I was offered two trades today and I need some  advice please!It's a ppr dynasty salary cap league. $250 salary cap, player salaries increase by $1 or 10% each year (whichever is higher). Any salaries I list in this post is next year's cost. I'm currently in 5th place out of 10, but I have the most points scored in the league. We start 1QB/2RB/2WR/3FLEX(RB/WR/TE) Offer 1: His Mike Evans($55) for my 2018 1st round pick (Will most likely be somewhere between pick 7-10) Mike Evans hasn't been great this year, and this will put me $54 over the salary cap next year, so I think I should decline. Offer 2: His Antonio Brown($51) for my Duke Johnson($6) and Sterling Shepard($4). This seems like a no-brainer mash accept situation. Sure I'm giving up two guys with great value, but it's Antonio Brown. It does make me pretty weak at RB though. My team: QB: Luck($13), Goff($3), Rivers($2) RB: Ingram($11), CJ Anderson($11), Montgomery($10), Duke Johnson($6), Burkhead($4), Bernard($2), Conner($3), Stewart ($3), Lewis($2), Rod Smith($2), Chris Carson($1) WR: Cooper($31), Hopkins($26), D. Thomas($21), Jeffery($21), Crabtree($17), Allen Robinson($14), Kelvin Benjamin($10), Shepard($4), Robby Anderson($3), Kevin White($3), Dede Westbrook($1), Ryan Grant($1) TE: Kelce($21), Henry($3) 3 of these guys are in IR slots, so I will have to drop 3 players before next year's draft Basically, do I accept this the Johnson+Shepard for Brown trade? It will put me over the cap next year, so I will have to cut some players, but it puts me in better shape to win this year, and probably in the future as well.

Looking towards the playoffs since my team has the regular season locked up, and I think I can buy low on the Kareem Hunt owner who is 7th place (in a league where 6 teams make the playoffs) He needs a WR and RB replacement, and I am pretty flush with WR's and some decent backup RB's just in case. What should I offer him for Hunt? I was thinking Crabtree and Hyde (I know Hyde is solid but his playoff schedule is way tougher than Hunt's and I think this week is a HUGE get right spot for Hunt)

Ha For your information, I was talking about the St. Louis Cardinals NFL team. IcePhoenix posted:Then you get to the other side of the coin and realize the Vikings defense is just as good at not letting people score. This is a great point. Although TB has also all but given up on the season. Whereas Case Keenum is playing for his job. I could see either play, it's like QB13 vs QB 14, here. phanter04 posted:Looking for a strong receiver for week 14. Do you think I should propose these trades? What the hell? If you think you could get that, then I'd definitely ship it out ASAP with a powerpoint about why it's a good trade for your opponent.

AB is an even better get, but you still have the issue with your salary cap. Who are you gonna drop? Cooper? Hopkins? You'd have both of those guys for probably 10 more years than you'll be able to keep AB at $51, then $56, then $62, then $68... I guess you could plan to deal Kelce, D.Thomas, and Jeffery. Maybe for draft picks or promising players with much less expensive salaries? On balance I think you still have to take the AB deal. Duke Johnson and Sterling Shepard are both nice pieces at those salaries but they're not indispensable.

What’s the most you’d give up to get JAX RoS? A flex RB/WR? RB2? WR2? Trade buddy is contemplating it. He has BAL and wants a one-for-one trade for JAX. I’m loathe to give up any of my startable options when there are D/ST streamer options available (more on that later). I offered Drake, Agholor, and Darkwa. Declined. I offered Crowell. Demurred with “let me research after work”. What remains (.5 ppr): Devonta Freeman Funchess Juju Ingram McKinnon Evans Hopkins Graham Of those, I’d only seriously consider Funchess or Juju and even that seems like too much, given the volatility and tenuousness of Evans and Hopkins’ QB situations.

DariusLikewise posted:What does a 1st round pick cost salary wise? Seems like dedicating over a fifth of your cap space to one guy in either trade scenario is the wrong move. In dynasty you typically have to give up about a fifth of your cap for any superstar RB/WR. If you're unwilling to do that, you have to try to win games without a reliable top player at a key position. e. Actually I should modify that: that's what it costs to get one of those players when they're a known quantity, in a startup draft. You can pick up a David Johnson on waivers in 2015 for $1 if you're super lucky, and then you can have a league-destroying team for the next decade. But you can't rely on getting that lucky.

You've got a bunch of junk you can clear if they're free to drop, as well as some bigger salaries that are either tradable or worth dumping below value to fit Evans (DT, Cooper, Jeffery, CJA, Montgomery). Maybe I'm alone here, but I take the Evans deal easily before the Brown deal. A late 1st is definitely worth less than Duke and Shepard, Evans and Brown have comparable salaries, and long term you'd rather have Evans anyway.

Sorry, I should have given you guys some more informationDariusLikewise posted:What does a 1st round pick cost salary wise? Seems like dedicating over a fifth of your cap space to one guy in either trade scenario is the wrong move. We have a 7 round draft each year. The first four picks in the first round are paid $20 The fifth through eighth picks are paid $18 The ninth and tenth picks are paid $16 All players drafted in the second round are paid $8 All players drafted in the third round are paid $4 All players drafted in the fourth round are paid $2 All remaining drafted players (fifth and later rounds) are paid $1 But like others said, it's common for any stud players to go for ~$50 or more. Zauper posted:Do you not have to be compliant with the cap? I have you currently at $249 in cap hit. If you added someone worth $50+, you don't need to drop corresponding salary immediately? It's a soft cap, so you can go over all you want during the season. You just need to get under the cap in time for the draft each year. Leperflesh posted:I'd love to get Evans for a 1st round pick, but the opportunity cost (all the players you'd have to drop to get cap space) is too high. I agree with you. I think I should get AB and worry about it later. I could always deal him or someone else during the off season and make it work. Anyone else want to weigh in?

So you don't have to count their salary against the cap until next year? Given your league seems to have mostly copied our league's rules, that's a surprisingly big departure

Gordon’s pretty inefficient honestly, so it’s a miracle he hasn’t lost more touches by now and is a RB1 by sheer volume. Also not sure it’s possible for him to ever be perfectly healthy heh.

They have Collins because he hasn't shown he can't fumble yet. One or two games after that streak of fumbles does not build trust yet. I imagine by week 12 it becomes the Collins/Woodhead show. I passed on dropping him for Williams because I trust Collins more to be my backup RB behind my main 3 - Bell, Ingram, Ajayi

Regarding my dynasty question earlier... I'm going to accept both trades. I give my my 2018 first for Evans AND I give Duke Johnson and Sterling Shepard for Antonio Brown It greatly increases my chances of winning this year, and both players are studs so I'm sure ill be able to trade one or both of them in the off-season.

We used google spreadsheets until we moved to MFL. MFL tracks salary caps so now I don't have to do the bookkeeping. But yowza, being able to ignore the cap all season really reduces the point of the salaries. Just be momentarily under the cap once a year means you can drop an expensive player just before the cap gets checked and then immediately bid on him in the next free agent auction.

Since it's a soft cap, you can realistically trot out Goff/Ingram/CJ/AB84/Evans/Hopkins/Crabtree/Jeffrey or DThom/Kelce and just be a buzzsaw towards money. Everything after that is depth you can use as a salary dump to upgrade RB2 and QB. In the offseason, try to flip one of AB84/Evans for more assets. Or figure out a way to keep both and repeat.
