Blockbuster non-PPR Dynasty Trade
I am in a 12-team non-PPR dynasty league with others in the industry. On March 30, I executed a trade with Fantasy Football Xtreme. The deal netted me Michael Turner, Larry Johnson, Lance Moore, and a first-round dynasty pick (later packaged to move up for Shonn Greene at 6th overall). I gave up Frank Gore, Brandon Marshall, Nate Washington, and a third-round dynasty pick.
Minutes ago, I received an offer from Fantasy Football Cafe of Steven Jackson, Antonio Gates, and Chad Ocho Cinco for Turner, Chris Cooley, and Mario Manningham. The proposing owner also wanted Michael Bush, but I balked at dealing Oakland's "third-string" tailback after holding onto him for multiple years in anticipation of big things.
Scott C. won't like this, but I accepted FFCafe's offer and hoped to get some feedback on the trade.
My roster currently stands at:
QB: Matt Cassel > Brett Favre > David Garrard
RB: Steven Jackson > Pierre Thomas > Derrick Ward > Larry Johnson > Shonn Greene > Michael Bush > Tim Hightower > Ricky Williams > LeRon McClain
WR: Larry Fitzgerald > Chad Ochocinco > Lance Moore > Torry Holt > Mike Walker > Miles Austin > Chris Henry > Devin Thomas
TE: Antonio Gates
K: Nate Kaeding
DEF: Bears
I am now contemplating making a move for Dwayne Bowe. Any ideas on a package?

Love the trade, I like all three players you got better then the ones you traded.

Highway robbery. You got the best talent in the deal (S-Jax), the better tight end (Gates) and far and away the better receiver (Ocho).

Like your end of it for sure. Especially if you're in 'win now' mode.

the second deal Evan is a GREAT deal for you. D Bowe is a fine 'target' to go after. would have to see the other roster though to come up with an offer?

Actually i like this trade. U got way more value in return. I i bad mouth jackson and rightfully so but.. in ppr hes pretty even with turner. I like turner a lot more personally.. but last year is sure to be his career year.. everything lined up for. prob due for a dip. well done. now just pray sjax doesnt break a leg or youll be in trouble in two leagues
Whatever u decide to package for bowe im guessing it will have to include chad at minimum. Just please try to ship larry with it.

Unbelievable Trade.
I would look at Ochocinco + D.Ward or Larry Johnson and Leron McClain. Propose Johnson and hold Ward as your upping the ante.

I'd be pulling back the curtains looking outside for the fantasy SWAT police on your front lawn because those two deals were violent, grand theft auto, smash and grabs robberies.
At long last sir, have you no shame?
