This is a thread to post the worst trades you have ever made. My teams always end up being very good after the draft, but I have found that I really biff on trades. Here are a few of my worst.
One year I had steve slaton and willie parker (the good year slaton had) and I traded them for Philip Rivers and some flash in the pan wr half way through the year. This took me from the best team to out of the playoffs. It was like my second year playing though. Im pretty sure the guy whom I did the trade with won the league, but I cant remember that far back.
Last year I made two terrible trades, but still ended up winning both leagues. In both leagues I was incredibly deep at running back.
In one league I had Forte, McCoy, Matthews, Mendenhall, and Andre Brown (who I thought was better than he ended up being). In this league I was struggling to win the division. I had Andre Johnson, Randall Cobb (who got injured), and a bunch of garbage at wr. After Cobbs injury I was desperate for a reliable second wr. I traded LeSean McCoy for Dez Bryant. After this trade, I went undefeated and won my division at 7-6 (I was fifth altogether. I hate divisions in fantasy football, I think the four best teams should just go to the playoffs). If I had not made this trade I wouldn't have made the playoffs. Its such a bad trade, but for some how it was exactly what my team needed. However, I ended up beating the second best team in the league, then the best team in the league to win it all when I really shouldn't have even made the playoffs. This was definitely one of the most rewarding wins in fantasy football, but McCoy for Dez Bryant definitely looks like a stupid trade on the surface.
In the other league I had my super loaded team. Along with Luck, Calvin, and Demaryius, I had a plethora of good running backs, including McCoy, Lacy, Bernard, Bell, and Andre Brown (again, I thought he would be a lot better.) My defense kept screwing me over, so a friend of mine convinced me to make a trade of LeVeon Bell for the Kansas City Defense. Bell was just rotting on my bench, I didn't need a QB, I had Gonzo at tight end, and my wrs and rbs were stacked. It ended up blowing up in my face as Kansas City fell apart near the end of the year. However, I still won the league due to my incredibly stacked team.
Anyway, lets hear some more fantasy football trade blunders.
