Gonna just copy this GIF because I am lazy and maybe have one good keeper :( Putting Calvin Johnson on my trade block if any of you dudes are interested.

Did you check who was actually on your team, rather than going by draft? Pretty sure I finished with Calvin on my roster, and think you have better keepers than you think. Vaguely recall something like me trading away a cheap but injured Keenan Allen for Megatron? Don't remember though.

Edit: Yeah, just checked and I have Calvin. I've also got a few possible keepers might trade, along with some I'm going to keep:

Allen Robinson, Thomas Rawls, Demaryius Thomas, Devante Parker

Do we do keeper trading or no? I'm really happy with Robinson and Rawls, but also have Demaryius Thomas and Devante Parker nice and cheap, so willing to talk about possible deals if anyone has like one really good keeper but no viable second one.

Other than that I think I did pretty well. I have 3 of the top 8 ADP picks, and Charles at 16.

I also have some decent depth at both RB and WR, and I have lottery tickets like Josh Gordon and Dion Lewis.

Yeah, your roster looks kinda scary. I'm happy with my depth too, but do wish I would've gotten a lesser WR2 than Jeffery for $55 so I could've gone for another RB2ish guy. Really happy with Tate and Woodhead as next two guys up, though.

And where the hell were the price enforcers when Sims went for $3?!

keeper values are set at the draft. for next season's draft, players will be their auction price + $5 (irrespective if they are dropped to FA) and undrafted players will be $1 base + $5

unless we vote on a rule change

I personally like it how it is. Otherwise managers will have incentive to hold onto guys they don't want currently and don't want to keep, but want to keep out of another team's hands for $6 the next year.

The one upside to having to get up a little before 6am est. Happy to talk trade if you want, but Rivers could easily turn to poo without Keenan Allen, so really kinda like Carr as an insurance policy. He might've finished ahead of Rivers even without Keenan's injury.

So was I. It was a good pickup for you. He's not a WW player, he shouldn't even have been there.

But that trade offer was uh... yeah.

I wouldn't have done that trade in redraft, let alone one where I control Nuk for years at such a good price.

I also don't want to trade Gordon. He could also potentially be a great value for a few years.

e: Just to clarify that when I was saying make a trade offer, I was expecting a swap for like Doctson or Diggs. Someone with potential that I don't necessarily want to lose, but could afford to in order to make up for my own mistake. Trading away my starters had not entered my mind.

Yeah, the keeper difference was what I figured would kill it. But I guess I don't get the objection in straight redraft. I wouldn't be very surprised if Jeffery matches or beats Hopkins this year, given the second half of last year in Houston (when they weren't a trash fire that threw on like 70% of plays) and the lack of any other targets in Chicago. A QB1 with a soft schedule isn't worth nothing, too. I tried to find some lesser guys to target, but none really made sense. I've got enough depth guys, I need starting upgrades. Anyway, no worries, like I said I thought the keeper value difference would be too much, but had to try :)

How come last year no one would trade me a wet paper towel for a super-bargain-keeper Cameron Neutron yet now Derek Carr is a valued commodity?

edit: Is there a way to look through trade proposals from last year? Just going through my email, here are all the rejected offers:

Week 4: Cam Newton & James Jones for CJ Anderson & Davante Adams. Also Cam Newton for CJ Anderson straight up.
Week 6: Cam Newton for Steve Smith
Week 10ish: Cam Newton for John Brown

Haha, I remember you trying to trade him and not being interested, but don't think I had CJA, Smith, or Brown. I do remember wishing I'd met your crazy low asking price once we were later in the year, though. Just trying to overcompensate for our bad decisions from last year!

:respek: It's all good.

As for my objection in redraft:

I'm probably more down on Jeffery than others (and possibly higher on Hopkins, I suppose.) Even if you were to call them even, then Carr for Gordon still wouldn't work for me. Carr is technically a QB1 I guess (12th in ADP this year), but at that level I find most QB's pretty much interchangeable. I wouldn't mind having WInston, Dalton, Stafford, etc... Gordon OTOH is a lottery ticket with a solid chance of a very high return.

I think Tyrod and Alex Smith are a level below those guys, but the difference isn't that much.

My 2c

eta: It wasn't my worst trade offer of the day. Someone in another (keeper) league offered me DeMarco Murray and Michael Crabtree for AP and Gordon. Like, what?

Wait, what offer did I send hahah. I thought I was only asking for Hopkins, not Gordon. Jeffery and Carr for Nuk... Though I still thought the keeper price made it probably on the wrong side of even from your point of view.

And I gave it some more thought and actually think I'm lower on Hopkins and higher on Jeffery than many. I sold off Hopkins in the two dynasties I had him, as I didn't think he'd repeat last year, and ended up with Jeffery in both goon keeper leagues I'm in and bought him up in another dynasty. I think he's got this weird injury prone stigma that isn't real that's bringing down his value a bit. Not that I'd prefer Jeffery straight up, just that I don't think there's too much of a gap this year.

What, like paying $50 for Jamaal Charles kind of mistakes? :suicide:

Honestly I think your sit/start was mostly fine. I probably would have started Ajayi over Maclin in the flex, but that's only because Maclin hasn't shown much this year. Everything else looked like the right call.

Keeping Rawls, yet to be seen but maybe dropping Tate, spending $50something on Jeffery, etc etc. We've all been awful :v:

But yeah, I don't think I'd change anything. Maclin against a soft secondary I think was fine over chasing Ajayi's probable fluke week, especially against Buffalo's decent run defense (10th according to dvoa). Now I'll start Ajayi his next few games and see him revert to form.

Looked like a totally fine sell high on Ware, just losing a couple weeks of production til JC came back. I'm just lucky it didn't happen quite like that.

If Ajayi works out and Demarco stays healthy, I'm going to have lucked into a much nicer RB corps than I deserve after having Demarco, Rawls, Woodhead, and Rob Kelley as my RBs on draft day.
