Eli was fine the year before. Giants just had the worst O-line in the league last year. As well as losing their elite WR1. As well as having a non-existent running game. As well as having a terrible coach who lost his locker room.

I expect a big bounce back from Eli this year. He's not elite, but if you protect him, he will make the throws.

So Sleeperbot does dynasty leagues now. I’m thinking of moving my NFL.com dynasty league there. I can’t do MFL, everyone in my league (including me) hates the layout/design, so I think this is our next best option.

However, I’m pretty sure no one in my league knows about or uses sleeperbot, so that’s giving up a pretty huge advantage for me... :gonk:

Yeah, always been free, main downside is no auction draft, and until this off-season, they didn't break out defensive positions, only had DL, LB, and DB, not separate DE, DT, CB, and S, but they just added that.

Ahh yeah we had an auction start up draft last year, so that was the deal breaker.

So apparently Andrew Luck still isn’t throwing a football. I’m pretty sure I’m going to cut him in my dynasty league.

RCarr

He costs $13 in my salary cap league, and I already have Rivers, Goff, Keenum, and Bortles for like $2 a piece. Should I still let him burn a roster spot all season?

You can’t trade him? Or two of those other qb’s?

Bortles is worthless. I would drop him before Luck. Unless this is a 2QB league I would be fine with Rivers and Goff, and if it is a 2QB league then Keenum would be a viable third.

sourdough posted:

What is your cap? Do % of cap, not $.

If 2 QB and the cap is like $200, keep all those guys and trade one or two if you need roster spots. Definitely don't straight up cut Bortles even though he sucks in real life football, and don't cut Luck before exploring trades.

If it's 1 QB, I'm with Beer and would keep just Rivers and Goff.

1QB/2RB/2WR/1TE/3FLEX. It's a dynasty league with a 25 man roster with 3 IR slots. $250 salary cap. Player salaries increase by $1 or 10% each year (whichever is higher). Here's my roster, with this year's salary next to each.

QB
P. Rivers - 2
J. Goff - 3
B. Bortles - 2
C. Keenum - 2
A. Luck - 13
RB
M. Ingram - 11
D. Lewis - 2
O. Darkwa - 2
R. Burkhead - 4
T. Montgomery - 10
C. Carson - 2
J. Conner - 3
WR
A. Brown - 51
D. Hopkins - 26
D. Thomas - 21
M. Evans - 55
R. Anderson - 3
A. Jeffery - 21
M. Crabtree - 17
K. Benjamin - 10
D. Westbrook - 2
A. Robinson - 12
K. White - 2
M. Mitchell - 2
D. Funchess - 2
TE
T. Kelce - 21
H. Henry - 3
E. Ebron - 2

As you can see, I'm way over the cap. I'm working on trading Evans($55) at the moment. I have a tentative deal to ship him out and receive Chris Thompson ($2) and Marquise Lee ($2). Regardless of that trade I need to make room on the roster if I want to draft any rookies or free agents.

Iirc he's been trying to ship Evans since the end of last season to get under cap. Might be the only offer.

This. Not a single person has any interest in Evans at his huge salary. I think the only reason I even have a chance at completing this trade as is, is because it's with a new owner who doesn't 100% completely have a grasp on the salary cap ramifications. It's either make this trade or outright drop him.

IcePhoenix posted:

Though I'd probably try and ship out some/all of the Crabtree/Benjamin/Robinson bloc instead

I thought about making room for Evans, but he will be $61 next year, and $67 the year after. I don't think it's worth it.

I'd cut a lot of other guys before trading Evans for pennies, despite his salary. Unless I messed up, you're at $306. Cutting Bortles, Keenum, Luck, Darkwa, Crabtree, Benjamin, and Ebron gets you to $258. I'd also cut Chris Carson and Ty Montgomery, but you're so weak at RB that maybe you want to hold them (or at least Carson).

If I do this, I'd have to cut still more players, and also not be able to afford any rookies or free agents in this years draft. All for one year of Mike Evans. I don't see how it could be worth it. Even without Evans I still have by far the best WR corps in the league.

Is this PPR?

The cap increase means that the upper level for some of those WRs is just going to be unsustainable; frankly even Brown is getting up there. So here are my thoughts:

QB: Cut Keenum and Bortles. It's a 1QB league so sustaining more than three QBs isn't necessary, and neither Keenum nor Bortles have long term upside. Total savings: $4

RB: Cut Darkwa, Carson, and Conner. If this isn't PPR cut or move Montgomery. Assuming it's PPR, total savings is $7.

WR: Move Mike Evans for Chris Thompson and Marquise Lee. Lee is particularly interesting since he's the WR1 in Jacksonville and I'd like to think he at least has a solid floor that could make him a WR5. That alone will save you $51. I don't particularly see a need to keep Mitchell. Kevin White might be worth keeping at his price given his upside, and he'd be an easy cut next year. I would see what, if anything, I could get for Benjamin but I think he's a viable cut. Total savings here is $63.

TE: I like the idea of selling Travis Kelce. I think it's reasonable to think that Hunter Henry will be a solid pick, and I wouldn't cut Ebron given the lack of passing options in Indianapolis. So that's around $21 you'd save, minus a few bucks depending on who you pick up.

So now you're looking at $211, giving you $39 to play with free agency and rookies. That's really not a bad place to be and lets you focus your efforts on RBs. Something else to consider; maybe try to move Crabtree or Jeffery? Both are getting older and have some value now, but that will decrease in the future.

It is PPR, yes. I agree with pretty much everything you are saying here. Thank you!

Is your rookie draft an auction? If so, I might purge more contracts to try getting more running backs. This year is a good year to build up your running back depth.

If your positional contracts are locked in via a draft, trading guys to acquire draft capital is a solid strategy. Kelce and Benjamin might get you a really good pick. Get whatever you can get for people you might be cutting. An extra fourth rounder might net you the flexibility of trading up a couple spots to grab someone you really like.

It's the latter. Rookie contracts are based off of draft position. Pick 1-3 = $20, pick 4-6 = $18, and so on and so forth.

RCarr
Dec 24, 2007

Yes I can. 2nd round picks are $8 each, so if I can clear some cap space I can load up on a few.

My picks this year are: 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, and two 7th's.

RCarr
Dec 24, 2007

I miiiight be able to trade Kelce for a guaranteed top 5 pick, no way I could get the #1 pick once the draft order is set though.

Edit: Talked to the owner who has three 1st rounders this year. He has the 8th overall pick, and two picks that will be randomly seeded in the 1-5 range.

He said he would give me the 8th overall pick for Kelce, but not one of the top 5 picks.

Are you sure that’s worth losing Kelce? I get that Henry and Ebron are decent options but Kelce is a virtual lock for top 2 TE and the drop off after Gronk and him is pretty huge, no? Also I feel like $21 is a good deal for him and he will be a good price for years to come.

Also don't be afraid to trade for 2nd/3rd year players (particularly WRs) who people might have soured on. Players like Davante Adams and Nelson Agholar took awhile to develop. Look for players who were drafted early in 2016 and have underperformed their position. Corey Coleman, Will Fuller, Josh Doctson, and Laquon Treadwell were 2016 first round picks. You could probably get Treadwell for nothing and Doctson would be cheap.

I can get Treadwell for a 5th rounder. You think that's a good move? Treadwell costs $2 this year, and I doubt there's much chance of getting a useful player in the 5th round of a rookie draft.

How doable is one top five pick? Or the guy with first overall. Because if I'm you, trading Kelce for Barkley is a potential home run.

If not that, the Michel, Penny, Chubb and Guice all could be solid consolation prizes. RB1 is a serious need.

I just agreed to a trade to send Kelce for a lottery first round pick (Will be #1 - #5 overall). However it's first overall protected so if it turns out to be #1 overall the deal is off. I figure this is as good a deal as I will get for him. I get a top 5 rookie RB, or end up keeping Kelce.

Now what about Evans? Were you able to hose the new owner into taking him?

Edit: Got mixed up.

He originally agreed to trade me Chris Thompson ($2) and Marquise Lee ($2) for Evans ($55), but since I was sure he didn't fully grasp the salary cap / draft / increasing salary rules, I told him to make sure he can afford him, and to thoroughly read the rules. He then said he would have to crunch the numbers to make sure, and he would get back to me. I think there's a good chance he will still accept the trade, but not sure as of right now. I wouldn't have felt right if I hosed the guy over just because he didn't understand the rules fully, and I run the league, so that would have looked pretty lovely.

I have someone who offered me Cohen ($2) and Perine ($5) for Evans ($55). I can accept that as a backup if the first trade falls through.

Can someone explain to me how you are supposed to implement a taxi squad in a dynasty salary cap league?

Correct me if I'm wrong but my assumption is:

Only rookies can be placed on a taxi squad, and only if they have never been on anyone's active roster before? Does that mean if I draft a rookie with a $20 salary, I can immediately move him the taxi squad? Do I need to have the cap space to draft that rookie in the first place? Or can I be maxed out, and still draft him since he never hits my active roster?

Can undrafted rookies who are picked up off waivers or free agency be put on the taxi squad? And same question as above, do you need the salary cap space to pick them up, before moving them to the taxi squad? Or can I send a rookie straight from waivers/FA to the taxi squad even if I am already at the salary cap?

As far as raiding or claiming players off other team's taxi's squad. Basically you say you want player X, and they can either keep him by promoting him to their active roster, or release the player to whoever put in the claim for them. Do they get anything in return for losing their player?

I'm thinking of implementing a taxi squad to my dynasty salary cap league but I just want to make sure I understand it fully first.

However now that we have a complicated dynasty salary cap league we are considering it just because of how it tracks everything. I know I will regret using it though.
