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?

Highway robbery... You got the better end on all positions. Jackson gets more than his fair share of criticism around here but he is still the rare back that can create offense on a horrible team, is great in PPR, and is the primary weapon in an age of committees.

Might make sense to list the team that has Bowe so we could make the deal based on what they have.
A lot of talk about your qbs, you have three viable qb2s for this year. I think Ochocinco is a great pickup for that trade, but I would be looking to flip him he could bounce back this year but is long in the tooth for a dynasty commodity at anyrate. I would make a move for a better wr before qb, myself.

A host of viable QB2s only means you're at a disadvantage against teams with high-end QBs on a weekly basis.
I agree with veggieb. Find the Cassel lover and package him with another guy for an upgrade.
Heck, find the Kurt Warner owner and grab while most dynasty owners value him as just a top 15-20 guy.

Another victory Mr. Silva. I wouldn't have blinked either.

U got robbed in the 1st trade, but at least made up for it in the 2nd. Trading Turner was important. He took a beating last year& the curse of 370 says it's too much. Offer Hightower & Holt now b4 Beanie Wells takes over. Bowe will catch 100 passes with Gonzalez in ATL.

1st trade - don't see how you made out with highway robbery since you gave up Marshall and Gore. Turner is a great back to have, down year expected or not. Dynasty perspective - Greene and Marshall are the keys to how this deal plays out.
2nd trade - way better for you but S Jax is not better than Turner. Gates and Ocho outshine Manningham and Cooley by far.
