A guy in our 14 team Important League auto drafted and ended up with FIVE tight ends. He's a Ravens fan. I have a ton of wide receivers and offered him Rashod Bateman for Robert Tonyan straight up. He texted me and said is there anything else to this trade??? I responded quote:Nope. I have too many WRs and also three are rookies and I figured you'd know more than anyone that Bateman could easily be the starting X WR. It's hard to trade TE to anyone so I thought it might be worth it to you to give up Tonyan who clearly over performed last season and will most likely regress to the mean on touchdowns. If you would rather keep Tonyan I understand but I'm not spending too much for a backup TE when I have Mark Andrews. If you think the value isn't there I'll be happy to keep Bateman because I think he's awesome and I don't trust Sammy or Hollywood Brown to stay healthy at all. JK Dobbins is one less mouth to feed in the passing game too. He responded by cancelling the trade. My question is am I missing something here? I understand rookie wide receivers are lottery tickets but is anybody actually that high on Tonyan? From everything I've read he was like, historically lucky with touchdowns based on usage.

I'm not sure what your personal relationship is with the guy but I find the "doing YOU a favor" tone in trade talks off-putting.

Ha that's fair. I know him well, he's usually very good at fantasy and very knowledgeable so I don't think he harbors any illusions about his chances this season after autodrafting. I don't think Rashod Bateman is someone I'm going to start regularly if ever. He's mostly there to blow up one game and then I'll trade him for someone stable. I was happy to cancel the trade because I'm not even sure I should roster a backup TE. But I hear you on the tone, I respond by cancelling whenever anybody tries to convince me that trading two mediocre players for one good one is ever a strategy I should consider. Maybe he felt the same about a rookie WR.

"but I'm not spending too much for a backup TE when I have Mark Andrews." Seems that'd be more appropriate if he was the one that approached you. I'd probably reject too and just drop the 3 worst TEs for whatever dart throws are on waivers. I'm not really high on a rookie entering the season injured.

lol he just texted me and rejected because he's a Ravens fan. He says he has no faith in the organization to draft a fantasy relevant receiver. Now I'm wondering if my friend might actually secretly be Kawalimus

I won this league last year and I was not a gracious winner. .5 ppr, 8 team so it's not too hard to find waiver talent QB: Murray RB: CMC, Ekeler, Swift, Ronald Jones, Fournette (lol) WR: Robby anderson, Jeudy, Cooks, Corey Davis, Laviska-Shenault, Waddle, antonio brown (lol) TE: Kelce I did a very lovely job securing WRs and unfortunately followed the league trend of spending too much on RBs and I feel like I just grabbed some guys who could maybe pop off and pray someone pays off. I have someone offering to trade AJ Brown and Herbert for Murray and Jeudy. I kept pushing for Jefferson but he won't give him up. Trade analyzers go from "about even" to "yes do it" but I don't think they take into account how much WR talent may be available in an 8-team. Do I secure the relative positional scarcity at QB or just go for it on the trade and get a WR-1. (I am also kind of scared of AJB's knees exploding).

Very easy accept. Murray averaged better than a touchdown rushing per game for the first 9 games last year, he isn't likely to have a patch like that again imo so downgrading to Herbert is very minor relative to the upgrade from Jeudy to AJB.

I guess it also depends on your scoring though, Kyler Murray was our #3 fantasy scorer last season because of all the rushing. I also like Jeudy this season even if he won't touch AJ Brown.

My guess it comes out really even with a slight edge to Herbert and AJ Brown 565 to 554.

Also ESPN completely flushed our entire league's pre-draft rankings that we all slaved over for weeks. No explanation, and we can't find any reason. ESPN sucks and I'm glad we're moving to My Fantasy League next season.

I also like Jeudy this season even if he won't touch AJ Brown. Just seems unlikely Murray won't see a dip in that rushing this year. That was apparently the 7th most attempts, 7th most yardage, and tied for 4th most touchdowns by a QB ever. If he does like 600-8 as a rusher (which would be a phenomenal rushing season for a QB), and let's say that's 400-4 better than Herbert, Herbert throwing for 300 more yards and 5 more touchdowns than Murray makes them close to even, Murray will score like 15-20 more points on the year. Feels like we can swing a little too far towards overvaluing QB rushing.

I recieved an interesting dynasty trade - full ppr. It would be my Bryan Edwards for his Curtis Samuel. Obviously, this feels like a smash prior to pre-season, but the hype for Edwards from training camp and college profile, plus the injury to Samuel has me hesitant. I have 3 wr1/2s, so I can afford to see how this pans out. Anyone here have some opinions on it?

Edwards is a starter, Ruggs is a disappointment, and Renfrow is not a WR1. I'd stay w/ Edwards, but, I was never drafting Samuel in the first place. He was on my DND list.

Had my last draft of the season and i'm feeling ok about it, my RB's are a bit rough though ooof. .5 PPR drafted 11th and we start 2WR 2RB 1Flex QB: Stafford RB: Henderson, Gaskins, Mostert, Conner, Jamaal Williams, David Johnson WR: Tyreek, Godwin, Cooks, Curtis Samuel, Elijah Moore TE: Kelce K/DEF: streaming both Probably should've taken a RB instead of Reek or Kelce but i just didn't like the options there.

12 team, 0.5 ppr, 1 QB / 2 RB / 3 WR / 1 TE / 1 WRT / other stuff that doesn't matter but I'll have to drop a few for some almost worthless IDP slots. Picked from slot 8. Rounds for the earlier picks in parenthesis. QB: Tom Brady (7) RB: Aaron Jones (1), D'Andre Swift (3), Miles Sanders (5), Tevin Coleman, Rhamondre Stevenson, Mark Ingram WR: Deandre Hopkins (2), Ceedee Lamb (4), Courtland Sutton (8), Michael Thomas, Elijah Moore, Jarvis Landry, Jaylen Waddle TE: TJ Hockenson (6), Mike Gesicki Not thrilled with my RB or WR depth, but if Thomas comes back strong and I'm actually in the position to make a playoff push, I'll feel better sourdough fucked around with this message at 04:36 on Sep 1, 2021 |

Weird, I also did a draft tonight at the same time with exactly the same settings and roster spots… No idea what’s going on with IDP and feel as though I overvalued RBs given the league structure…but also I ended up drafting more WRs than anyone else. similar to a buffalo 1. (4) Ezekiel Elliott (Dal - RB) 2. (21) Antonio Gibson (Was - RB) 3. (28) George Kittle (SF - TE) 4. (45) Cooper Kupp (LAR - WR) 5. (52) Tee Higgins (Cin - WR) 6. (69) Ja'Marr Chase (Cin - WR) 7. (76) Javonte Williams (Den - RB) 8. (93) AJ Dillon (GB - RB) 9. (100) Laviska Shenault Jr. (Jax - WR) 10. (117) Matthew Stafford (LAR - QB) 11. (124) Michael Gallup (Dal - WR) 12. (141) Joey Bosa (LAC - DE) 13. (148) Marquez Callaway (NO - WR) 14. (165) Chandler Jones (Ari - LB) 15. (172) Mecole Hardman (KC - WR) 16. (189) Trey Lance (SF - QB) 17. (196) Jamal Adams (Sea - S) 18. (213) Denver (Den - DEF) 19. (220) Rondale Moore (Ari - WR)

If your IDP are worthless your league scoring isn’t giving solo and/or assisted tackles their proper weight.
