nivek87 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Who are your other players? That's not too bad a trade, but I might not want to keep MJD if you can keep a stud in a double digit round. I feel like he MJD, Cruz, and McCoy would be a great way to start next season going in with a early pick as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nivek87 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Keeper rules aren't consistent but most don't allow you to give up the draft pick of the round you took a player. You give up your top draft pick to keep someone. From the original post it seems this would be the case. we keep 3, required to, so we are essentially starting in the 4th round sort of next season.

nivek87 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 struck a deal with another guy, my Larry Fitz and Daren Sproles and my 7th round pick for RGIII and his 4th pick. so next year i'll be looking at mjd, cruz, and rgIII accompanied by two 4th round picks.

nivek87 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Pretty dumb to allow teams to trade future draft picks why you say that? makes things much more interesting and a lot more strategy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 It works in the real NFL because a GM has a fiduciary and moral responsibility to balance winning now with winning in the future. It's a system of checks and balances that fantasy football doesn't have. Why wouldn't you continue to make trades like this, then? Why don't you find someone to trade you their first 5 draft picks next year for your first 5 draft picks the following? You will both have a huge advantage and likely each take a win and some good money. I'm guessing that would be obvious collusion that would get vetoed. It's just the extreme example of what happens when you can trade future picks. I guess if it is allowed, take advantage of it as far as you can. I wouldn't want it in my leagues.

I wouldn't want it in my leagues. yeah, thats why a lot of things get vetoed in our league. i think our commish is good at calling it how it is and our league is pretty fair in voting something down. if it looks shady in any way, its not going to fly. also, sacko pays double and is beer bitch and draft board whore at the next draft. needless to say, no one wants to throw away their season.

thebiglebowski Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Heard the first one a bunch of times for different teams. Never heard the second one. Maybe since most people don't joke about suicides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seangj Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Do you think Bowe will be able to get some garbage points tonight with Cassel starting, or is Mike WIlliams a better start this week? I was really hoping that Bowe would have been traded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Mike Williams has been really good lately. He barely missed adding another touchdown in that NO game I believe. I would go with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 so.. who else started chargers D? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seangj Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I tried to get them off the waiver wire, but someone else grabbed them before me. I'm glad I didn't start Bowe, but hope Williams has a good game this week. I need a win bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Didn't start Chargers D but happy they had those 2 scores. Bet the over 41. Needed them. My fantasy opponent started Mathews. That's a big win for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PC Music Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I started Mathews and Chargers D. I was aiming for 30 points between the two and even with Mathews' dud game I got 34 so I guess I can't be too mad. Still, the way they use him is so annoying. I keep thinking it's going to change and keep starting him, but it's pretty apparent things aren't changing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebiglebowski Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Atlanta has been the 3rd stingiest team to opposing WR so far this year. And Pierre Thomas is definitely more interesting with Sproles out a long time but it's not like Sproles was taking many carries from him. I doubt all those catches go to Thomas. Denver has a very good pass rush and Benjarvis is a bruiser. Should get a good workload. So that is the long way of saying, you have it right. zacaroo21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
