I was offered:
Richardson
Cam

For:
Welker
Schaub

But I have Rodgers.

So I turned around and traded Rodgers and Richardson for Forte Wayne and Graham.

Roster after trades :
Cam
Forte
Sproles
F Jackson
Maclin
Wayne
Graham
Janikowski
Houston D
S Greene
J Stewart
K Smith
Titus Young
F Davis

PPR League. 6pt passing TDs. I think I rounded out my roster pretty well. Did I make out as good as I think?

I'm surprised the first trade wasn't vetoed.

Forte has a legitimate touchdown vulture and Wayne is on the downside of his career with a new QB.

You should have kept both QBs and Richardson until a better offer came your way when people begin to realize their QB sucks.

Dude WTF is wrong with you?!?!?!? Sure Forte is good in PPR... But even in regular 4pt passing TD Rogers >>>>> Cam.
In a 6 pt passing TD, where Cams running TD's dot give him an advantage
Rogers >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Cam
And WAY less risky. I'd say you fricked your team up pretty good

I'm sorry but I'm posting twice so you realize how stupid you are trading away one of the best an most reliable fantasy players, in a league that emphasizes his position even more; for a second year QB who likes to run which increases injury chance, plus the extra bonus for rushing TDs from a QB is gone in this league.
Oh let's not forget you got a WR on the downslope of his career with a Rookie QB. And a great TE sure, but you already had a really good one.

Seriously WTF were you thinking? And how did this not get vetoed?

Eta: you also traded away one I the few guys who has the backfield to himself in Richardson

So before the traade your team was:

QB Rodgers
RB Sproles
RB F. Jackson
WR Welker
WR Maclin
Fl Greene/J. Stewart
TE F. Davis

After the trade your team is:

QB Cam
RB Forte
RB Sproles
WR Maclin
WR Wayne
Fl F. Jackson
TE Graham

I'll start off by saying just by going by the numbers, these teams are pretty even, with probably a slight edge to your new team.

But saying that, I think you made moves just to make moves. Not sure why you made the first trade, even if you trade raped the guy. Welker was your only good WR and you traded him for a QB when you already had the best QB. Doesn't make much sense to me.

Then on the 2nd trade, it would have been nice if you would have traded Cam instead of Rodgers but I still don't think it was a terrible trade for you. Forte is better than Richardson, Graham is better than Davis, and Wayne is better than Titus Young who would have been your starter alongside Maclin after the first trade.

So by saying that, I don't think your team got wors3 and it probably got a little better, but I'm not sure why you made the trades in the first place. You're probably going to have to find something to do at the WR position.

Guess I should have added this is my just for fun no money work league where half the other guys don't play in any other fantasy league. I definitely wouldn't have done this in a league that matters.

8 out of the ten guys (myself included) missed the draft due to the hurricane and had to auto pick. So I just wanted to make some moves (along with everyone else) to make the team mine.

I still don't think I made out as bad as yall say, but I will take the criticism.

That's exactly why I did it. Just wanted to have some fun making moves in a no money league instead of sitting on a team that was autopicked for me. Even if I would have won the league I still wouldn't have felt like I did that great because the team was picked for me. Now I feel like the team is mine and I feel like the teams are pretty eve with my new team being a little more even.


Once again I would not have made those moves in a money league.

I apologize. The league is still for bragging rights. I just wanted to take some risks and I think this team is more spread out with talent.


I really appreciate your analysis even if you feel it was worthless now.
