Thoughts:

Calvin Johnson for Greg Jennings and Roddy White


Fitz for Matt Ryan

I'll take Jennings and White all day. That's a trade as a commissioner that I wouldn't allow.

The 2nd one is garbage for garbage.

The first one has value to the guy I'm trading with as we are in a keeper league. His team went to crap and he has no keepers. Trading for CJ (and yes over-paying) gives him a keeper.

I made that trade to get me at 3WR's (Fitz, GJ, RW) then turned around and traded Fitz for Ryan because my starting QB right now is flacco...who is awful.

Our league does not take away points for INT's, so Ryan puts up about 20 a week in our league, and even with PPR, Fitz has only been putting up 10 a week for the past 9 weeks, save one week where he went off for 30.

So, I went from Calvin, Fitz, and Crap at WR to Jennings, White, and Crap

and went from some really filthy crap at QB to just crap....LOL

You gotta have negative points for INT's.....

The only exception would be if the league is a TD league only. Those can be super frustrating, but a lot of fun.

We decided about 7 years ago (we've been at this awhile) that we didn't want negative points for INT's because there are a lot of times where the INT is not the QB's fault. Since the league setting only allows either A. negative points for both INT's and fumbles or B. No negative points at all...we decided to put it to a vote. No negative points won out. So, we have no negative points in our league.

QB's get 1pt for 20 yards passing, and 4 for a passing TD.
RB's and WR get a point for 10 yards rushing and 6 for rushing/receiving TD plus point per reception.

Now, if I can get ADP back within a week, I'll be set down the stretch.

I'm in a 14 team keeper money league with negatives for INT's and fumbles. It's fuckin brutal. Of course, I'm in the playoffs...again.

Brag post.

Nice.

What's difficult about our league is that we have the same guys every year (usually) and everyone pretty much knows their stuff. It's hard to get really lopsided trades (like the one I scored) because no one really wants to help anyone else out.

Ironically enough, the guy I traded with for GJ and RW offered me the trade, I didn't offer him. He short changed himself, but he knew he had to over-pay if he wanted to get a potential keeper. I have ADP, so I'll be keeping him. Usually this guy will offer you a "cedric Benson" for your "Tom Brady" and then complain about how you didn't accept the trade, and how it was a fair deal because...xyz....LOL

There's a dude in my goofy nfl.com ffl that kept offering me ridiculous trades like "Bernard Scott for Matt Forte". I finally told him to leave me alone. Very satisfying that I beat him even though he actually ripped off a few people.

Yeah, that's kinda like this guy. I think he does it just to see if he can swindle someone...but I was actually really shocked to see that he offered this trade. Then again, I see his team, and he's got nothing. Chances are, he didn't have enough to get another keeper type player away from another team, and seeing I could use the upgrade at WR, threw it my way.

I'm really glad it worked out, because like I said, I was able to parlay that into getting an upgrade at QB as well.

Our league has a chance to veto all/any trades by having teams post objections, usually there are no issues.

yeah...I'm in the playoffs though and feel like my team is pretty stacked. Just a shitty week.

I thought it was might be a close 1, like you said you had a shitty week and I had my best :rockon: and that's without AP.
