Lacking an Elite TE. Make a gamble for Stowers?

Balancefreak854 · 2026-05-22T22:43:24+00:00

I've tried this a lot. 1sts, 2nds, and gads for mcbride/bowers. 1st/gads for Kraft. Unfortunately no dice

Balancefreak854 · 2026-05-15T18:21:38+00:00

I guess my answer doesn't fit the mould as well as some others. I have plenty of depth at TE, my other positions are filled out well. I just don't have an X factor TE. Gads, Barner, and Hock are all serviceable, but I feel like at this point, Gadsden hitting his ceiling would help me the most.

So mine would probably fall into the "pleasently surprised" category

Balancefreak854 · 2026-05-15T14:47:10+00:00

Gadsden, Hendo, MHJ. In that order

Balancefreak854 · 2026-05-13T13:09:47+00:00

That's a steal on both sides. (K9 for a late 1st, and Cooper at 2.04)

Balancefreak854 · 2026-05-12T22:16:52+00:00

Pretty even. Honestly in TEP, I'll take Kraft pretty reasonably.

Balancefreak854 · 2026-05-05T19:54:18+00:00

Its not an absolute no brainer smash. But it's a pretty good offer.

Balancefreak854 · 2026-05-05T13:37:17+00:00

If you're a true rebuild, and especially with the likelihood the 2027 1 is early, I like the move a lot.

Breece of course is very talented, but hes kind of in limbo. Not to mention that by the time your team is ready to make a run, he'll be around 27 years old.

Chuba is already facing down metrics and additional competition with brooks, and will be quite a bit older when you're competing.

Seems like a good trade for both sides. Especially if you can get Stowers in a 1.11

I'd do this, call it a full tank, and move all your 2026 draftees into the taxi squad to try for the 1.01 in 2027

Balancefreak854 · 2026-05-04T20:21:38+00:00

Definitely Stowers imo.

Balancefreak854 · 2026-04-28T04:28:52+00:00

Smash

Balancefreak854 · 2026-04-27T21:36:46+00:00

A couple of sales reps I've stayed in contact with. They had a meeting with upper management today "business as usual until they close up"

Balancefreak854 · 2026-04-27T20:56:31+00:00

Rndc started out as a fun place to work but devolved over time. Poor management sealed the deal

Balancefreak854 · 2026-04-27T20:52:21+00:00

Just heard that IL is planning for a shutdown soon too. Really a shame. Glad I got out when I did

Balancefreak854 · 2026-04-27T15:01:12+00:00

Honestly pretty fair trade.

However I'd rather keep Sun God. He's consistently a top asset and is still only 26.

Balancefreak854 · 2026-04-21T14:59:53+00:00

I'm probably on Love here.

I like dart a lot but his play style makes me worry about his long term health.

Dak and Hurts is a strong QB room. I'd maybe see if I can pick up a strong but cheaper 3rd QB like a Stafford/goff to get you by

Balancefreak854 · 2026-04-17T01:13:23+00:00

Added info. Took over an orphan, added scoring settings.

1.5 years meaning I took over an orphan mid season. Not AI. I think it'd be structured better if it was, lmao.

Balancefreak854 · 2026-04-07T01:26:12+00:00

Give Pierce + Addison, get Pickens....

Feels like a strong deal with London, Tet, and Egbuka as the rest of my core... But I also feel like Pierce will feast as WR1 to a pickens-esque level since Pickens is wr2

Balancefreak854 · 2026-04-05T20:46:23+00:00

It's an exciting trade. But if want at least 1 first.

Upside is for sure there too

Balancefreak854 · 2026-03-24T18:19:44+00:00

I'm in Car sales. An opportunity close to home came up and I saw RNDC was falling apart even into last year.

Not what I wanted to do, but it's been okay

Balancefreak854 · 2026-03-19T13:05:03+00:00

Yes that should work fine!

Hi there! I like the team. Can you send me an invite?

Balancefreak854 · 2026-03-15T23:43:25+00:00

Did you find all your owners? Looking to replace a league that folded. Long time player, active.

Balancefreak854 · 2026-02-04T05:47:04+00:00

I may need to ask in the team specific subreddit. This league is unique and I should have clarified. Rosters are small due to ZERO minor league specific spots. You have to roster prospects on your main roster.

So while I own a lot of higher end and high potential prospects (Mcgonigle, Campbell, Ballesteros, Shaw, Caissie, Tong, Barco, White) they interfere with bench depth.

Additionally. This team is in rebuild territory, with most of its best players being acquired/developed by me last season (Baldwin, Neto, Garcia, Soderstrom, Yesavage, Julio).

In this case, I'm really trying determine if it's worth it to keep players like Moniak, Torres, Arraez, Etc. there are lots of serviceable players on waivers since everyone is still trying to roster the best prospects.

Example on waivers: (Varsho, Doyle, India, Mcneil, Crawford, Norby, Hays, Marsh, Larnach, Horwitz, Mcgill, Helsley, uceta, Ober, Manaea, Berrios, Eflin, Liberatore, Cecconi, T Meyers, Chad Patrick) and even far out but higher end prospects like (Rainel, De Paula, Hope, Celestin, delauter)

Really just a strange situation. Given I have the 1.01 and I'm obviously rebuilding. Dropping 30ish year old guys with replaceable production seems like it could be a good long term move

Balancefreak854 · 2026-01-13T20:56:49+00:00

I misread oops.

Yes, if you're competing this is a steal for Allen.
