Sent Zeke for a 2024 first and second. Don’t really use him.
Projected 1.1 to 1.7 range.

Interesting, I'm Team A, and would have given up a 3rd instead of receiving one.Nice I like the B side.10 Team, PPR
Team A receives D Pierce, early 3rd round '23 (Team is at bottom and not likely to get better)
Team B receives mid to late 1st round '23.
Wow, I wish I could get something even close to that for Zeke.Sent Zeke for a 2024 first and second. Don’t really use him.

That's a steal for giving up Zeke. I haven't seen anything close to this return.Sent Zeke for a 2024 first and second. Don’t really use him.

That's what I love about this stupid game we play. So many ways to look at it and it doesn't mean any of those are wrong. So here is what I see. League size is on the smaller size. At least for me since mine are 14 and 16 team. Pierce is a solid player but outside of the game against LAC, who has one of the worst rushing defenses in the league allowing the highest YPC of any team , his weekly output is just ok. I'm a huge fan of the 23 draft class and comparatively speaking I feel like Pierce is JAG in relation to the talent in the draft class. But Pierce is the guy in Hou with minimal competition for carries. I just worry that if they get behind early the game script will dictate less usage. But if I'm a contending team or hurting for RB help, then I don't hate it at all. So I guess context is king. Neither side is bad by any means, I just like B a little better. Just boils down to roster construction and team needs.Interesting, I'm Team A, and would have given up a 3rd instead of receiving one.Nice I like the B side.10 Team, PPR

Thanks for your detailed reply, I appreciate it. Yeah, it's only a 10 team league, but due to deep rosters, start able rb's are a scarcity. I like what he brings to the table, but also agree the '23 draft should be loaded. Looking to compete this year, and only had Chubb and ETN as reliable starters.That's what I love about this stupid game we play. So many ways to look at it and it doesn't mean any of those are wrong.

Team A pretty heavily.
That’s a terrible trade. You won’t find many willing to pay a first for Zeke, let alone throw in a high second as well.Wow, I wish I could get something even close to that for Zeke.Sent Zeke for a 2024 first and second. Don’t really use him.
Projected 1.1 to 1.7 range.
I think it's also a lot closer when you look at the two trades together:Anyway, just the reasoning. It could wind up as heavily beneficial to Team A as you think, but that's some logic in how seemingly lopsided trades get made. I'm giving the logic behind what is perhaps a first blush at it.
FFPC 1QB
I gave 2023 1st
I got Jacobs
win now move, I project the 1st late, yada yada
I think it's also a lot closer when you look at the two trades together:
Team A gets:

McLaurin
Dillon
PIckens
2023 mid to late 2nd
Team B gets:
Sanders
Lazard
Woods
Zeke
Adams
One side is definitely win now and the other is for the future. Lot of upside on Team A but how often does upside all hit......usually never. hahahaha
So true. If you are a Zeke owner you are better off trying to acquire Pollard at a reasonable cost than trying to sell Zeke.That’s a terrible trade.

To win, you either better be really good at managing compared to the rest of your league or you need luck. Looking at this league, the past two years have been a mixture of competency and luck in the grand scheme of things. The swings in the managers' finishes in total points are drastic, and one doesn't suddenly go from incompetent to competent in the span of a year. I expect this year to be no different.

I think it's actually in Team A's favor when looked at in totality or even in individual trades. But it made Team B better for this and next year (theoretically).
And really, I'm beginning to think fantasy is all about running back injuries and luck, to a degree. I actually think you can lose if you're an incompetent manager, but you can't really win because you're a competent one. It's akin to the old golf adage about how you can't win the tourney on the first day but you can sure lose it.

I see no issue with that. In fact, I probably would have wanted a little sweeter with Hall to give Saquon.I’m very much in win-now mode. Won it all last year and lead in total points this year with a 6-1 record.

So in the end I sent Etienne/AJB for Breece/Tyreek/Bowers. I’m pretty happy with that despite the wait time on Breece. Might just flip him.
I would take the 2nd. Preferably I would want another 2nd or 3rd for the package of Elliott and Rodgers, but Elliott's value is tanking and Rodgers scares me with retiring soon.12-team / 1 QB
to Team A: Elliott + A. Rodgers
to Team B: '23 2nd-- currently pick #14
I don’t mind cashing out but he also does have a good amount of upside, is young, has an enormous amount of talent, and is tied to an elite QB. Personally I prefer gambling on his talent to show flashes to either make him a productive part of your roster or raise the price in a trade.Turned a profit on Kadarius Toney after the trade news came out in my crazy bad rebuild.
Gave: Toney
Got: 24 2nd, 24 3rd
I like the startup strategy. Hope it works out for you. I feel like that was a lot to give up. I do believe Chase will be fine. But the risk being there makes it sketchy giving up Waddle and a first. But Chase will help you tank for sure!FFPC Triflex
Gave: Jaylen Waddle, Tyler Boyd, '23 R1 (late), '23 R3
Got: Ja'Marr Chase, Jahan Dotson, '23 R5
These are actually two different trades I made with the same team a couple days apart. The startup was in April, and I traded for future picks with the intent to tank in Year One and hopefully trade for productive, injured players during the season. Man, I hope the Chase injury isn't serious.

I would rather get rid of a player early than late, nice cash out.12-team, 20-man, PPR, QRRWWFKD
Technically win-now, but currently 2-5. Still hoping/expecting playoffs. But also RB heavy (Mixon, Swift, Etienne, Robinson)
Gave Aaron Jones
Got 2023 1st round pick (could be pretty much anywhere, but very unlikely that it would be a top 2 pick. If I had to pick an over/under, I'd say pick 1.07)
Could hurt me. But when a RB is going to be 28 in a month ... I know I should get what I can if he's at all expendable.

Elijah Moore
Clearly Moore, right? RIGHT?!
Talk about selling low if you try to move him at this point.Is it too early to trade away J Taylor? It will leave me pretty weak at RB( Conner,Harris,Gordon and Rookies White and Spiller) but im not winning with him. Have to think his dynasty trade value is still a 1st rounder+
