You said yourself the te combo exploit surprised you a bit.as far as how the points worked out.


It didn't surprise me. I combined the 2 positons to make it easier to grade, which is why it looked nice.

Standing alone, Gronk is better than most TEs. Gates is pretty on par with most other flex plays. Plus he is good to miss at least 4 games.

You sacrificed 2 RB and 2 WR postions at the expense of a TE and a flex.

Going into every week, on paper, you will be in for a struggle.

Most teams QB < Brady

Most teams RB1 > Bradshaw
Most teams RB2 > Smith

Most teams WR1 > Stevie Johnson
Most teams WR2 > Austin Collie

Most teams TE < Gronk

Most teams Flex = Gates

I seriously doubt rondo and i trade. I know his type.

And so far its been like every other league......i offer a trade where one side gains 10 points over the season...and the other side gains 16 points......and the counter is i lose 143 points and he gains 110.


But of course i will get labeled the shady car salesman....but never would offer such an unbalanced trade.

Every year same shite...people just play their roles.

The evaluations aren't very accurate. It's all about how you feel/know guys will do.

So you offer trades that make your team worse and the other teams better? Stand up guy.

I'm not really high on my team either

We all know about DMC's injury history but I decided to go against the grain for once on him. I was close to landing him last year in my auction league but tapped out. I think Spiller may be on the brink of doing something, just my opinion. Maybe Jackson sees the bulk of the carries at first but as the year goes on, that may be another story. I also think Blount will be a big factor in the Bucs running game. I just don't see the rookie Martin coming in and being that much of a force. I wouldn't be surprised if I was dead wrong on everything I just said either

There are trades where both teams evaluate into the green.

Each side is bias....yahoo is a 3rd party going off our scoring system
Someone wants Gronkowski Bradshaw for the ~10th best rb if healthy which is an issue and a last round te.

Not mad just that its such a long way off that its not really worth the counter.

Eta: especially when just gronkowski beat the 2 players offered by himself last year....and is projected to almost duplicate that this year as will

As i said bias.

You think he's still a 110+ 9td wr.......not saying he isn't....just that some people think that his numbers will take a 20% hit this year.

Yahoo is one of those

You've already mocked the offer.. im sure the owner of the 10th best RB and last round TE knows you think the offer sucks.

It should be what you think though. Only take into consideration what yahoo and the evaluation says, if it makes sense ok but a lot of times they are horrifically wrong.

I really don't understand how someone who is a very experienced fantasy football manager, uses a projections tool to base trades off of. That is something a first time FF owner would do. We all know projections don't mean shite coming from a single source. No one can predict the future!

They doddle a study a couple years ago and yahoo projections consistently beat the other sites.

Again its just a tool.....to help make decisions.....regardless...a trade offered -150 side and yahoo+120 the other is just lopsided....assuming changes were made to projections.
