Did your team get better or worse overall?

Do you feel trading is an integral part of winning a fantasy football championship?

It all went to shite when Bell went down, followed by Dion Lewis.

Zero, so far, but I do have about 3/4 out for approval now.
I just can't seem to move Palmer or Dalton. I'm trying to package one of them with Blount to upgrade from him. I don't think it's going to work out in my favor tho.

None. Trading players is not a common occurrence in FF.

10 in one league.

4 in the other.

I think overall both teams have gotten better via the trades, and yes, I think winning a championship usually takes at least a few trades.

I feel like you have to trade at some point to fill holes on your roster unless you are the best drafter in the world or get lucky on the waiver wire.

Made a few. Dealt Joe Randle for Carson Palmer back when Ben first went down. Dealt Gronk for Lacy and Landry. That one has killed me. And then Ben + Moncrief for Cobb a couple weeks ago. Overall I'm 4-5 and probably gonna miss playoffs

Not a single trade in my league this year. I think everyone is too skeptical of everyone else.

Made two trades: Lacy, Jarvis, Forsett and for Ingram, Fitzgerald and Blount, and Jordan Reed and Blount for West, James Jones, and Austin Seferian-Jenkins (who I used to drop for a waiver pick up). Will say that they have made my team a lot better, maybe minus losing Forsett.

In my $100, 2QB, PPR league, I have made 4 trades since Le'veon went down.

1: I traded Cutler, Starks & Randle for Bradford & Marshawn
2: I traded Decker for Latavius
3: I traded Flacco & Allen Hurns for Hasselbeck & Brandon Marshall
4: I traded Edelman & Ryan Mathews for Antonio Brown


In my $50, .5PPR league I have made two trades.

1: I traded Moncrief for Demarco (early on)
2: I traded Forsett & Larry Fitz for Antonio Brown

ETA: I feel as if my teams have gotten better through my trades.

In a dynasty league since March I have made 39 trades I have 0 players on my team from last year

I have the hottest team in the league right now.

I made 14 in another dynasty league

My line up is way better

I made 7 in a keeper league

My line up is way better

In regular leagues I have made 1, 1 and 3 and I feel all my line ups are better.

Hoping to get at least 2 or 3 championships.

The best trade that I've made so far was one every person called me crazy for. Back in week 3, I was desperate for WR help so I traded Le'Veon Bell for Todd Gurley, James Jones and Alshon Jeffrey. It was nearly vetoed and I had basically beg the commissioner to understand why I was doing it.

1 trade that happened this week:

Traded Delanie Walker/Ryan Mathews for

Jordan Matthews/C West.

I have Jordan Reed as the replacement TE. I think I came out good. Needed a third RB and a decent WR option.

Made two trades in my 10 team league

Freeman for OBJ
Doug Martin and Diggs for Antonio Brown

I'm 5-4 and in 4th place with most points scored, I like my chances to win this league, though.

I'm now throwing out:
Brady
Peterson
Gurley
Jeffery
Brown
Beckham
Walker

12 team league I've made 3. I traded Lewis for Lamar Miller and VJax after week 2; traded VJax for Clay the next week; traded Keenan Allen for Ingram the week before Allen's injury.

I have traded a grand total of 3 times in 8 years of fantasy football. It is my single weakest aspect of managaing fantasy, I just can't process them unless I'm getting a huge steal in my mind.

I did trade this year though. When Big Ben went down the first time my cousin, typically a fantasy genius, was panicking about his injury ravaged winless team. He then decided to offer me Antonio Brown for Dem. Thomas so he could stack him with Payton. This one was pretty easy for me
