The Bandit Dynasty League Thread

I think a lot will depend on whether they draft a wide receiver. New regime's always scare me because they inherit guys and have nothing invested in them, so it will be a telltale sign if they draft a wide receiver on day 1 or 2 what they think of Mooney. He was a 5th round draft pick so they essentially have nothing invested in him. Oh yeah and Fields still sucks.

It's fantasy - - - sometimes you just
and hope for the best

What the hell @SmokingMonkey sent one your way.

refreshed or something when I was trying to think of a counter and the trade went away - will send details in PM

Quietest off-season in dynasty ever since I've been involved. Only 4 trades this year and none of them involved any 1st rounders and the best players involved in any deal were Rashaad Penny and Allen Robinson. As a comparison, last year there were 14 trades before the draft in this league including 10 1st rounders either for last year or future along with Derrick Henry, Aaron Jones, Mike Evans, Hopkins twice, and Stefon Diggs.

I've got two massive offers out to Irish if he ever gets off the fence!...both involve #1's and big names

Well if he hasn't responded by now that probably mean he's not doing it. He's terrible at declining stuff. He almost always tells me he doesn't want to do a trade and then I just end up pulling it because he forgets to decline it. I'll PM you.

Well, obviously I'm to blame for lack of volume - I have no 1st (or 2nd now) - I have tried (as always) but only a few have chosen to play - even on smaller ones - did came really close on a couple of big ones but in the end couldn't agree on the finishing touches to get it done . ....

So, once our draft starts I'll check pm and personal texts - think I'm pretty much done unless others have ideas.

Well 3 of the 4 involved you.

 

[leftypower]

Well 3 of the 4 involved you.

That seems about right - - so I'm at 75% of those done - - but only about 25% on those I've sent. ....

And about a third of those sent and declined, fall into the Bill Veech mode quoted below. ....

Well, he's had no problem declining the last couple I've tried with him. .... with the same response "my guys a beast" - and one of those was an IDP for a pick. Same as last yr and one of those was Meyer.

the few ideas I've bounced around with folks typically ended up just being same position swaps that didn't really improve either team....just shuffling for the sake of shuffling, while fun in practice, rarely leads to completed deals. I need to improve a spot on your team and you need to improve a spot on my team, then figure out the secondary pieces, or at least that's where I like to start.

Yeah, we had one like that - - just couldn't quite get there with those other pieces to complete it.

I don't mind those when ther'es a 'homer' type player involved..then it makes sense, otherwise it like a sad one night stand-unsatisfying

Wow, so of all the offers I sent and that I know everybody else sent, that is not the one I was expecting that he would take, but I send Chase Edmonds, Brandin Cooks, and the 1.10 to The Fighting Irish for Christian McCaffery. Got a surprise text from him tonight that he accepted one of them so I had to go in and see which one it was.

I just couldn’t convince myself to try for him after being burned two years in a row in redraft. The risk/reward is worth it since you have enough depth there that it won’t kill you if he gets hurt.

Good deal! At first I was thinking that wasn't a lot for McCaffery ( thinking of his upside), but then thinking about the risk your taking, decided this was good deal for both of you. Congrats.

Well, that was a surprise - could be a very nice deal. .... and I thought you were chasing WRs - but what do I know - Treff's probably pissed since I know he was after him hard..

Surprised more than pissed...but then again...I'm of the opinion that Edmonds isn't a real RB, and I've long believed Cooks is the single most overated WR in the league, so deal CMAC for the 10th pick and (at least in my opinion) roster filler crap? Yea, surprised

Well, I certainly get that since I have a pretty good idea what you were offering - - but remember this is the guy who traded last yrs 2.5 for Tommy Tremble. ... so wildcard to say the least.
