Here I am trying to make balanced offers and those are the kinds of trades everyone else is proposing
So,the new NFL.com fantasy leagues launched and as usual made my batch of team which naturally graduated to extravagant trade offers. Here is one i got accepted right out of the bat.
Me receiving: Deandre Hopkins,Jags Def
Him receiving:Kyle Rudolph,Alex Smith,Sony Michel,Nelson Agholor,Seahawks DEF.
Thoughts?Good,bad,hilariously shit?
A bag of shit for Hopkins and the best fantasy defence? Good deal. Especially if you have a decent TE option.
How is Jack Doyle regarded then?Also,C.Brate,D.Njoku,E.Ebron,T.Kroft,M.Lewis, B.Watson,V.Davis,ASJ are available as free agents to pick up to complement him.
Doyle will be good if Luck is fine.
Ebron, Kroft, Lewis and Davis are tash.
Brate could be good but OJ will get more looks this year. Njoku might be a little raw still and he has to try with a new QB now, Watson could be a great red zone target for Brees and ASJ is a tough one, he has great attributes but he's only had one good season.
Tyrod Taylor only threw to 3 people in Buffalo. RB, TE and 1 WR. If he continues that, Njoku is a good shout.
However you dont spend a #1 pick on a QB and sit him for long. Mayfield may well be completely different when he comes in.
If that's true, Clay must be the worst player in history, because he did fuck all for me in fantasy (I won the championship despite him though).
Plus, that's all he had in Buffalo.
I said he threw to him, I didn't say anything about catching!
Wasn’t Clay injured last season?
Tyrod should get the whole season if we’re going on merit, but #1 picks don’t sit anymore so Baker will probably come in at the bye week.
That’s a cracking trade, by the way.
Not really. He missed a few games at one point I think but he was rotated with Henry in my dynasty team and played in the final games after Henry went down.
Ah, then he must’ve just been shit.
Work league has gained a member but lost the two inactives from last year. Would be nice to have the 10, but as it is it's going to be a 9 man league, but the one thing it does do is allow me to possibly improve my draft position.
I was going to be up last as I've won it the past 2 years. So even if I get drawn last again I'll not have lost anything.
We'll be going 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1TE, D/ST, K, this year. 20 man roster though. So the commissioner still hasn't got it quite right, but it's much better. No player limits any more.
If they draft as bad as I know they can I could build a filthy roster with that. We'll see how it goes.
Is this the one where you had the super team?
It wasn't quite as good last season, but still did the job.
The season before I got David Johnson, Julio Jones and AJ Green in the first 3 rounds. People get too hung up on favourites or heavily overpay for players they think they have to have.
Trade accept #2 in another team i own.
Me getting: Deandre Hopkins
He gets:Jordy Nelson,Aaron Rodgers,Brandin Cooks,Carlos Hyde
I think i went a bit overboard here given that i gave him Rodgers even though i have Andrew Luck as my next go-to. Thoughts?
Hopkins would still be a WR1 with Pleb throwing to him to be fair.
Yeah, if anyone can get away with average QB play it’s him. Still not entirely sure what I think of the Texans offence this season though.
I think Watson is being way overvalued. The pace he was setting last season is surely impossible to keep up. Besides, no one knows what the injury will have done to him.
Trade accept #3
Me getting: Keenan Allen,Antonio Brown
Him getting:Aaron Rodgers,Calvin Ridley,Jags Def,Delanie Walker,Robert Woods,Carlos Hyde,Derrius Guice
Yeah,i know. Kinda lopsided but i already have Gurley,Mixon,A.J Green and Josh Gordon.
Is your team shite by any chance?
Getting rid of Rodgers may of royally fucked you though.
It's really not and i have Rivers to use now that i have traded away Rodgers.I get 2 Top 5 WR's to slot with Gurley and A.J Green.
I'd much rather have Brown & Keenan than a bunch of mid-rounders. Ridley, Walker, Woods & Hyde could all do absolutely fuck all this year & I wouldn't be at all surprised, Guice unproven on a potentially garbage offence with three other RBs, and the Jags are a defence, and therefore completely devoid of value no matter how good they are.
This might be the least valuable QBs have been in years too, since there are about 20 who could be solid fantasy players, so yeah, I approve.
Gurley, Brown, Green & Allen on the same team You could have Lamar Jackson at QB & still probably have a winning season. I thought I'd done alright getting Bell, Green & Baldwin in a mock I did earlier, but that's filthy.

In my mind,if you don't ask,you will never know. Just throw everything against the wall and see what sticks.
Sometimes you trade Corey Coleman for Todd Gurley or Ameer Abdullah for Devante Adams.
Two trades just completed in my Dynasty league (not involving me). The team numbers are their finishing position from last season (8 team league):
Team #4 Sends- Alshon Jeffrey
Team # 6 Sends- Jamison Crowder
Team 4 is probably my biggest rival for the crown, but I feel he's gotten weaker there, albeit not significantly. He's a big Redskins fan who seems to have confused Alex Smith with Drew Brees as he's now drafted Guice and Richardson while trading for Thompson and Crowder.
Team #8 Sends- Antonio Brown, Jay Ajayi, Greg Olsen, Tyler Lockett
Team # 7 Sends- Steffon Diggs, Joe Mixon, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Robert Woods
Like this for the worst team in the league, but Team 7 (Fay's Fall Guys) got a LOT of young talent in the draft, so it makes sense for him too on some level. This also opens up the possibility of me trading Chris Hogan for Greg Olsen which I'll probably jump on given that Howard is my only healthy TE.
Edit- It's done, and with Olsen added to the line up I'm now projected to win the league (having somehow not been projected to do so before getting him).

Another day,another trade accepted.No.4 now.Different team than the previous ones.
I get:Kareem Hunt,Odell Beckham Jr.
He gets:Russell Wilson,Marshawn Lynch,Robert Woods,Allen Hurns,Sony Michel and Jaguars Def.
Also,my team is already composed of Devonta Freeman,Ezekiel Eliott,Philip Rivers,Josh Gordon,Marvin Jones and Rob Gronkowski. OP much?
Just tried to take a look at the TTH league & it went to an error page. Is it fucked, or is it just because it's not been renewed yet?
Crap. I went to renew it just to make sure and seemingly it automatically renewed everyone's teams. That could be a headache if anyone wasn't planning to renew.... Can people let me know in here if they aren't planning to stay?
Must have pressed something that did that without reading it, oops.
But yea, hopefully it works now.
Seems there is a problem with the league URL. I had this in my Dynasty league too and I was able to fix it by removing the capital letters, but there seems to be technical issues on the site stopping me doing that right now. I'll fix it when I can. In the meantime you should be able to access the league from your own page.
Yeah, it works now.
Our work league draft is coming up very soon, as such we've just drawn our numbers. I pick at #9(of 10) this year. My luck on these draws is shit. That's 4th, 6th, 10th and 9th now.
We're drafting in the place I was watching the Eagles win the Superbowl too, so hopefully that brings back some luck. I'm aiming for 3 times running.
You could let Pleb draft for you and win that league.
How many keepers did we decide on for TTH?
We've 2 new joiners this season. No idea how good they are. I'll be sure to post draft results after they happen.
I believe it was 2 keepers max but you can't keep any players you kept the year before.
That or you get 2 seasons to keep your keepers.
2 keepers & only for a year sounds fine to me.
Tre’Quan out, Ivory in... be amazing if he ends up the starter so I can trade him away.
Well at least I don't have to draft Shady this season.
He'll probably still get 250 carries.
Our draft has been pushed back now into August. Still keeping our allotted order, so I should be able to do plenty of mock drafts between now and then. From #9 it looks like I could well be faced with a choice of Fournette or Hopkins in the first round.
Given it's a 3 WR standard, I'm leaning towards taking the latter, as I'll be picking again 2nd in R2. The guy behind me is a big Fournette fan though so I doubt he'd make it back.
I'm a Fournette fan too (sold the farm for him in dynasty) but Hopkins is the pick all day long.
This is the first proper year of no bollocks too. The old commissioner was a cunt, made a stupid draft order and had idiotic rules and player limits etc. All has been fixed this time around.
Had a vote on whether we wanted linear, snake or auction type draft. The latter would have been an absolute disaster.
OK, so the league URLs and history etc should be fixed. I also dug out last year's keepers, so the following players can't be kept again:
DeMarco Murray (big loss there)
Melvin Gordon
Aaron Rodgers
Bilal Powell
Golden Tate
Mike Evans
Le'Veon Bell
Julio Jones
Happy to roll with the 2 keepers, and the 0.5 point PPR.
Probably keep everything else the same.
My main league draft has been set for 25.08.18 so i'll probably look to get this draft at a similar time as I like to keep them close together, plus that feels about right. Keeper deadline can be a few days before whenever we set the date.
So may as well open the discussions as to when we want to draft. If anyone isn't intending to play again, let me know. Also if we have any potential new teams, again I could consider that, but unless someone drops out, they won't get any keepers.
My work draft is the afternoon of 5th August. I'm also on my jollies between the 17th and 24th. Sunday the 26th would be good for me.
