I can't see anyway that I'll be making a trade since I really like my keepers right now, but I'll be glad to listen.

Got it.

Everyone else:

I'm proposing to trade Sproles and my 5th rounder for your 1st rounder.

Sproles ADP in a PPR format this year is 31 which means he almost for sure will be one of the first guys to go off the board early in the 1st. If you have a mid-late 1st round pick, you can nab a top RB2 if not a solid RB1 for damn good value considering he almost for sure will not be there later in the 1st.

Consider this: Last year Sproles was the 5th highest scoring RB in our league format and 21st highest scoring player overall. See for yourself:

5th RB

21st Overall

Let me know!

Would be absolute perfect fit for EZE.

ETA: Nicks, Bowe, and Sproles is a helluva better than Nicks, Bowe, and Stevie Johnson.

WHERE YA AT EZE??

Guess I thought I set my fantasy baseball lineup this morning and didn't.

You are welcome for David fricking Price on the bench.

No worries, you will still kick my arse because I'm a terrible fantasy owner.

Garret Jones has been fricking raking lately so I decide to sit him on the bench. Of course he has a 2 HR game.

Yeah, that pissed me off too in another league. Burnett shite the bed (not all that shocking), but I was set up for a Thayer save, which he of course, blows.

Fantasy baseball is a son of a bitch.

That sounds good. Let me think about it for a bit today. I'd hate to lose that #4. Believe it or not, I actually had a plan and was going to change one of my keepers. LOL

Now, if I can get someone to work a trade for H. Nicks to get back a first rounder (or something really close), I'd do the Sproles trade right now. If I can get this going today as well, I'd be game, because I have an idea as to who my third keeper would be then:

Sproles, Bowe, and XXXX

Nicks for a first rounder anyone?

I'd be thrilled to pull two trades today.

Help me out Okie if you know who needs a WR. Either way, consider me about 95% in for your original offer right now.

ETA: I have a busy work day today, so it may be a while before I can check back.

I would definitely be interested in your trade but want to wait and see what all the teams look like after Thursday.

I want to have an idea of who I'd be giving up with my draft pick for Sproles.

ETA yeah the trade doesnt make sense for me. I could basically keep my 3 keepers and grab sproles early in the 1st if you arent keeping him.

Unfortunately guys that I communicate with (Swamp, OBUDan, 31) seem pretty set with their keepers.

And I wouldn't look at it as losing your first rounder. You're basically just securing a solid PPR RB1 with that first round pick. In a league where the top 36 players approximately are off the board before the draft ever starts, to get a guy for the 4th pick (or in essence the 40th best player) that's got an ADP of 31 is insane.

Be like trading a 4th round pick for a 3rd round pick if that makes sense.

Furthermore, I really don't see Sproles falling far. We'll see what shakes out but I would assume he'll be 1-2 best of the remaining RBs I would imagine.

I see. What is the reasoning behind cutting trades off after the keeper deadline?

I will trade you my 2nd rd pick for Sproles right now.
