...or Hoeshmazode. Championship!
Stick with Smith
Do you plan on trying to win this year's Championship?If so, keep him.If not, trade him.Herm Edwards: "You play to win the game!"
What he said.
After this trade my WRs are:AJ GreenJulio JonesJordy Nelson Greg LittleAustin CollieMIchael CrabtreeLeonard HankersonMike Williams (TB)I already made the trade this morning. The other team accepted my trade. I might have jumped the gun on Smith, but i was worried I wouldn't not be able to move him next year at 34 years old. Hopefully I don't regret this decision.
Looks like you scored Crabman.
Or Collie or Crabman and CollieLooks like you scored Crabman.
I'll readily trade my older bench players for young guns, but I completely agree with your second comment.
The season hasn't started yet
I don't know about all that...Smitty for Crabtree and Collie doesn't look THAT horrible to me. Not to mention, it looks like Smith would have been his WR4 even if he had kept him (AJ Green, Julio, Jody Nelson), so unloading him for 2 younger guys who MIGHT turn out is not a terrible idea.Now if Smith had been his WR1 and he had gotten that, then I may have had a different opinion. But in dynasty, for HIS situation, I don't mind it at all.
Yes, but they are both on his roster that he poster, so i am assuming...
thats what I said all day. you win some you lose some, but I like collie
How much youth can one have. ON this team(and I like the trade) Smith might have been better as what has Julio Jones proven yet. Even Green is not as good as Smith maybe for this year. I know most expect huge things but not sure about that. I see Nelson, Smith and Green as the top 3. Still had Little and TB Mike for youth also and Hankerson. So we will see how it plays out because I did not mind the move either. Just hope it does not cost you a championship and Jones becomes a go to guy this year with Roddy still there. But you still have the ability to send 2 younger guys on later for maybe a younger equal WR if needed which is never bad. At trade deadline some owners who are out want to part with the older guy like Smith for less before they might get nothing.
I have to say I disagree, mostly. The idea of trading out older players before they are worthless (like LT is now) is the shark move, I just think this guy could have gotten more for Smith.Take my team for instance, we start 2 WRs, but have 2 flex - so we can start up to 4 each week but then only start 1 RB (non PPR).My WRs are Calvin, Nicks, D Thomas, Vincent Jackson, and Crabtree (aka Crabman).I've been trying all offseason to move V Jax for a younger WR - Bowe, Blackmon, Maclin, even Torrey Smith....no bites. I'm willing to take a slight hit in production from my WR#4 (should D Thomas and Manning really connect) so that maybe I'll have a stronger WR#3 option in year 2, 3 and 4.
If you think Steve Smith is a better WR (this year OR future) than AJ Green or Julio Jones, then I don't know what to tell you. Jordy is questionable, but he did outscore Smitty last season, correct?So, if you want to go by last year's stats like you apparently are, then Jordy was his #1 WR, and Smith would have been his #2. However, I'll just go by the consensus dynasty rankings here:AJ Green - #3Julio Jones - #7Jordy Nelson - #19Steve Smith - #25Or the Redraft even:AJ Green - #5Julio Jones - #8Jordy Nelson - #13Steve Smith - #14
Looks like he took on two mediocre WRs for one stud when he really didn't need the mediocre WRs. He was fleeced.'Mimo said:

Good point. I do a gree I should of got more in return. But I am happy with Collie on my team. Reports out of training camp say he is was Lucks favorite target.
Did I say I was going by last year's stats? No.Are AJ Green, Julio Jones and Jordy Nelson good WR1s? AJ Green is...Julio and Nelson have the potential to be. The fact that their first productive fantasy years consisted of pretty much ONLY big plays...I put them at WR2 with great potential to be WR1s. I look for more consistency and dependability in a WR1.Do I believe AJ Green will do better than last year? No, because of Dalton.Do I believe Julio Jones will breakout this season? No, because I like Atlanta and they hype up their offense every year and I'm tired of believing it. I believe it will take another year.Steve Smith was his top WR in my opinion...he downgraded at WR1 to AJ Green...which is a minuscule downgrade that probably won't even be noticed...like .01 fantasy points per week minuscule. The point is...he still traded his top WR in my eyes for a guy who's going to be the next Jahvid Best soon with his concussions and a lazyass.
I own Steve Smiff in dynasty...
And he received both Crab and Collie not just Collie, if you look at his roster you will notice both.
Agreed. Please trade away your good players for Crabman. Go with Crabman. All day, brohan.
Forgot to say WR1 for 2012. Dynasty wise of course its an upgrade from Steve Smith to AJ Green.
You will...
The two aren't really the same. Percy himself is a stud. You're trading a stud for stud. The OP traded a stud for ?s.
I'd be pinching myself if that's all I needed to give up to get Crabman. I'd be itching to do that deal. The other guy must be some kind of hermit. Crabman makes the deadliest catches. His legs look delicious when he runs routes. Just make sure you don't get the artificial Crabman, that guy's gross.'Warrior said:
Percy has the potential to be a stud, but he gained extra value last year because he was a scat back wr the last few weeks of the year. You can't count on that this year, and where Percy excelled in the short game you have to think Kyle Rudolph is going to dip into that this year. I'm not convinced Percy is going to have as good a year as last year, but I think it's worth the risk he gets better.'lbouchard said:
Percy Harvin was pulled in the red zone by the Vikes last year and if anything will take on a greater role in the running game with AP out. I have him in return yardage leagues and my concern is they may limit his special teams touches as a result.
And none of them will sniff the starting lineup.Or Collie or Crabman and CollieLooks like you scored Crabman.
I agree. It depends on your team, if you are in a win now mode or rebuild. I traded Gore for D. Brown and 2012 2nd. Helps I am deep at RB, not that trilled with Brown but rather get something for Gore
