I'm in a league where you can keep 3 players. My team is kind of falling apart and I'm not going to make the playoffs. Someone offered me a trade for Calvin Johnson. He'd give me his 4th round pick and if Calvin played the rest of the year he'd bump it to a 3rd.


Would you do it? Or would you keep Megatron in hopes that Caldwell gets fired this offseason and he has a Larry Fitzgerald revival.


My other options for keepers are pretty bleak. I kept Hill who fricking sucks. I also have DeAndre Hopkins and Matt Forte so I'd probably have a really weak 3rd keeper if I traded Calvin.

Do you lose picks in certain rounds? Or you just keep three players at the beginning of the draft?

Post your roster. As of now I would hold.

Calvin is on pace for 96/1300 yards. Id keep him. Not sure how you revive that.


kept an eye on Hill as a post hype sleeper

You're right. He's having a much better season than it seems. Wish we'd get more touchdowns from him.

You've got some decent options. Other owner would need to sweeten the deal. Even if it turns you a 3rd round pick, think about the pool you'll be drafting from after potentially 36 players are off the board before pick 1.

Can't put all your eggs in the Forte basket either. No clue what his situation will be next year. Yeldon and McFadden finish with solid numbers, both could be 2nd round picks. Bryant is a machine.

This guy is pretty desperate for Calvin Johnson. He's kind of dangling Andrew Luck

Long-term interest if no limit on years kept, sure.

I typically avoid keeping QB unless I get considerable value. The position is too deep in FF.

No-brainer keeper

Martavis Bryant

Great keeper, imo

Yeldon
Calvin Johnson
Travis Kelce

Worth keeper consideration

I'd take the trade but I'd try to get him to bump it up to a third guaranteed, with and upgrade to a second possible. You have three great keepers in Hopkins, Bryant, and Edelman/Yeldon.
