A Note On Trading:

By GynoSandberg

Some of these trade advice threads are just ridiculous. On top of providing no info on your league size, scoring, roster etc..,,

Per JJ Zacharison on twitter the other day

I love my job and I love interacting with you guys about fantasy football. It's great. But there's one thing that does annoy me each year...

And it has to do with trading. When you trade -- for the love of God -- look at what a trade partner needs, and give them those needs.

If you're trying to sell, I don't know, Amari Cooper -- don't trade Amari Cooper to the team who has AB, Mike Evans, and Brandin Cooks.

So when you say "Which players should I target in a trade?"...stop targeting players. Target teams. Make their team better with your player.

"Who should I look to get for my Carson Wentz?" I don't know, man. Go find the team starting Joe Flacco.

And just because a player is a buy candidate doesn't mean you shouldn't buy players who are simply performing at expectation, too.

The pool of players you'd trade for should be massive. It shouldn't be limited. When it's limited, you won't get a trade done.

When trading, don't look to make a deal just to 'win' it. Make deal that makes sense for both teams and don't give a shite about bragging rights. People will be less likely to deal with your scrub arse in the future when you beat your chest about trade raping someone right after the deal.
