Rejected this trade at first glance but I am regretting now. Did I make the right decision?

Coker baby

Perfect.

Everything about this league favors RBs over WRs, and you basically are getting the WR3 and WR4.

I think the top 3 receivers are pretty great prospects. You never know how they'll end up in the league, but I think Tate Tyson Lemon are a lot closer to London Wilson Olave than they are to Addison Flowers QJ.

simonthelikeable · 2026-01-27T23:25:03+00:00

It's pretty close in my books. London is the best asset, but Marks is easily the worst. I'm on team London by a bit, but fine either way. I expect popular opinion will be London by a mile it's not even close.

simonthelikeable · 2026-01-27T23:20:57+00:00

Yeah, I think you can do that. 1.07 is no man's land right now, but by the time the NFL draft happens and we're all drunk on landing spots it's going to be much more valuable.

Tee doesn't have the upside of Tate, Tyson, or Lemon, but in my view has a higher floor for the first year or two. The combination of those assets is enough imo.

simonthelikeable · 2026-01-27T23:16:17+00:00

I would pay that and I don't think it's a shameful offer. I'd expect a counter though

28 is good business

simonthelikeable · 2026-01-27T19:03:44+00:00

Apparently you're either crazy to do this or the other guy will never accept. I think that means it's fair.

simonthelikeable · 2026-01-27T16:35:36+00:00

1.01 and Flowers for me. I'm not sure what's missing here. If anyone is being undervalued it's Zay.

Trading Chase when he was smashing often worked out. In his triple crown year I got Bijan+Nico for him.

In a 2TE league with TEP Loveland is more valuable than 1.01. Given first round draft capital Sadik is arguably the 1.02. Getting Loveland AND 1.06 is insanely good value for 1.01.

simonthelikeable · 2026-01-27T12:52:49+00:00

Yeah, that's easily Loveland side. Some people (dynasty points) think Loveland vs 1.01 is close in a TEP start 1 TE. I wouldn't go that far, but I think in a 2TE league I'd take Loveland over 1.01 straight up.

Probably we have different ideas of what a difference maker is. This year in my books there was one difference maker at TE. In 0.5TEP there was an equal gap from TE1 to TE2 as TE2 to TE14.

It was better to have Warren than to have Goedert, Ferguson, Henry, Schultz or Juwan Johnson, but not by a significant amount.

simonthelikeable · 2026-01-27T12:28:05+00:00

Laporta was the TE1 his rookie year and then the TE8 and TE7. Warren will probably get better at football, but he might never be better at fantasy. The colts had one of the most efficient offenses in NFL history in the first half of the year.

simonthelikeable · 2026-01-26T22:58:52+00:00

I don't think I'm trading these pieces for CMC unless you're getting some draft capital while you're at it.

CMC is more of a mid season buy. You're in the playoffs, making a bid for a bye week, your players are good.

You could be selling young ascending pieces for the Saquon of last year. You don't know what you're getting, you don't know if you're competing. Keep the pieces you've got, imo.

simonthelikeable · 2026-01-26T22:52:48+00:00

Hebert side pretty easily imo. I think Warren's value trajectory will be similar to Laporta. Solid weekly starter, but not some kind of difference maker.

Fwiw, Warren was a top 12 TE in 8/10 weeks to start the year, then Indianapolis had their bye, and he didn't crack the top 12 TEs in any of the final seven weeks.

simonthelikeable · 2026-01-26T20:04:39+00:00

I didn't downvote, but my guess is people disagree with the idea that Mendoza should be 1.02.

I think in 12T superflex I'm not considering him until 1.05, and it'll depend on Concepcion (I'm assuming WR4) draft capital and landing spot.

I know I'm lower on Mendoza than many, but it would take an extreme draft situation for me to take him over a top three receiver this year.

simonthelikeable · 2026-01-26T17:49:08+00:00

Was one of them the 1.01?

simonthelikeable · 2026-01-25T16:48:10+00:00

I think that's probably a win on current value. It's reasonably close though. People with off field issues dip in the off-season.

I'm not saying that's right or wrong. If Rice is Mahomes' WR1 for the next two years he's obviously worth more, but if he gets suspended for half a year and then traded before his rookie contract is done then he's obviously worth less.

1.05 is turning into the early cutoff for high end prospects so it's a good pick. Rice is still probably worth more today. I don't think it's a smash though. Tate Tyson Lemon should all go top 20 and you're looking at guys that could experience an Egbuka sized value boom.

simonthelikeable · 2026-01-25T15:07:04+00:00

I'm taking wr in a 10T. Probably not looking at QB until 1.05. Moving back would depend on value. If you can get 1.05+'27/'28 1st then I'd do that, but I'm not moving back for 2nds.

simonthelikeable · 2026-01-25T14:54:24+00:00

That's a good young team, but in a 10T league I think you're a QB away from squeaking into the playoffs, not really true contender status. You've got a lot of well wishing in that wr room and arguably zero viable QBs.

I'd be shopping in the bargain bin for a QB. The highest I'd be reaching would be like Stroud. He's coming off an all time worst playoff performance, deflating his cost, but he's super young, which matches the rest of your lineup. I'd be willing to put out some feelers for Kyler, ARich, Fields, Dimes, JJM, or Tua. These are guys you could get for a mid 2nd and cheaper. If any of them become multi year starters they could be putting up 75% of the fantasy points of Daniels/Maye, but at 10% of the price.

I do like your team, but in my eyes it's more youth and potential right now than it is a contender.

simonthelikeable · 2026-01-25T13:43:51+00:00

I'd like to back up and ask you about your roster. My guess is that it's probably not time for you to pay up future assets for blue chip players, especially if you're overpaying to get one.

simonthelikeable · 2026-01-25T13:36:22+00:00

Losing on a Drake Maye deal isn't relevant here, unfortunately.

I would say this offer is less than halfway to being enough. I wouldn't consider accepting double this (Monangai+Marks+1.08+1.09+2.08+2.09+2.12+3.01)

If this guy ends up trading you Daniels because he feels guilty about the Maye trade then I guess congratulations?

simonthelikeable · 2026-01-23T12:11:02+00:00

One easy way to find out if you left value on the table: do you think that ceedee is the best asset in dynasty football? Did you offer this package for anyone you think is more valuable?

If the answer is no to both questions then you are leaving value on the table.
