2019 ARMCHAIR Dynasty FF league

What does Ridley have to do with anything? Is there just 1 WR taken in the 1st round of Dynasty rookie drafts? The last I checked there’s 12 picks. Every year, the WRs drafted in R1 go in round 1 of Dynasty drafts.

Ridley was gone before Foster in every redraft I looked at from the sites you mentioned. My only point. A first round pick I the nfl doesn’t deem first round rookie status. Didn’t mean to pick back after you picked first. Lesson learned. Sorry man.

And why is that the falcons redraft pick? Because in every one their actual pick, Ridley, is always redrafted higher! Like I said, making Boik’s sell jobs look like child’s play lol

My sell jobs? What sell job is that? I wont even bring up your sell jobs...it may cultivate some hard feelings from those people:001_rolleyes:

pick 1.04 is in.

1.05 is on the clock

Well first 4 pretty much went chalk. Now the fund begins. Anyone interested in 1.6 make me an offer

Why does no one value him in Dynasty or redraft rankings then? I’m asking because I’m curious how redraft rankings might help when he’s the #3 wr on his team in reality.

You might not like Foster personally, but to publicly criticize the value of a player on another GM’s trading block is bush league my friend.

The average-Joe-operated Dynasty sites don’t value him as highly for the the same ignorant reasons why they didn’t initially highly value George Kittle, Tyreek Hill, Stefon Diggs, Adam Thielen, James Connor, Marlon Mack, Chris Carson, Tariq Cohen, Doug Baldwin, etc. It’s simply bc they weren’t drafted highly to begin with. These arm-chair website guys get LAZY and often don’t bother to assess the actual players, especially the ones not drafted highly. There’s a reason why I trust my own assessments over theirs.

Yeah, Foster really sucks. :unsure: He only had four games of 105, 94, 104, and 108 over the final 7 games as a rookie with a rookie QB, catching 71% of the balls his way.

Josh Allen is not a dink-and-dunk passer, so Cole Beasley will not be the #1 WR. He likes to throw to the boundaries and drive the ball downfield, and he can extend plays with his legs to get the ball to his playmakers. When you have a cannon like his, you want the bigger bodied 6’2 guy with the larger catch-radius and superior athleticism when speed is virtually equal. With Foster’s route running improving significantly, the smaller speed guy will likely be the one serving as the decoy more often when Brian Daboll is looking to create space in the secondary or matchup advantages.

I’m gonna interject this now. I propose a rule from here on out that enforces a 2nd round penalty on any GM who publicly trashes another GM’s player for the purpose or effect of hurting said player’s trade value. The GM will then lose his next upcoming 2nd round pick.

I wasn’t the first to pick; you actually were. Remember, you said “I think you misspelled trash”. That was ok bc it was light-hearted and wasn’t specific. Then I responded back with a light-hearted gif of my own to your ensuing trade-block list.

You then followed that up by singling out one of my players with the intention of questioning and ridiculing his trade value just bc you yourself aren’t as high on him. I myself am, however, which is why I snapped him up quickly to begin with.

I've said I'm sorry. Neither the trash comment nor the rolly man and following were meant to harm the player, but were in jest with the manager. Lesson learned on asking questions and trying to understand things to take that stuff off the board and into a direct message. I hope you can get twice what you're asking for him. I'd be happy for you.

Josh Allen is not a dink-and-dunk passer, so Cole Beasley will not be the #1 WR.

I guess you would’ve also laughed last year if I’d offered Kittle for a future 1st after having the same type of impressive rookie year that Foster did. You should probably email NFL.com, CBS Sports, and SB Nation and inform them that their 1st round redrafts are horse dung.

I think you’ve earned a little leeway as a talent evaluator as you’ve done well over the years. I don’t think the second round pick is necessary if you trash another teams player but I agree it’s frowned upon and shouldn’t really be done. What’s trash to one person is treasure to the next as we all ave own biases in fantasy sports.

Then a 3rd rounder?

@259 you’re on the clock, I believe, sir!

I’m very high on Foster. He was the #2 WR in the nation out of high school for a reason, and in the 2nd half of last year he began showing why. The dude’s super explosive, at 6’2 no less. It was just a matter of route-running development and playing with a QB not named Jalen Hurts.

But when one of us criticizes a player publicly, it often plants a seed of doubt for everyone else, regardless if all these sites believe he should’ve been a 1st Rounder in hindsight. I mean, if the 2018 draft were done over, and Foster went in the 1st round, what round would he have subsequently gone in in our Armchair rookie draft? Common sense & experience strongly suggests he would’ve been taken in R1.

He’s easily worth a mid-to-high 2019 2nd in trade value, but I won’t get that now that a seed of doubt has been planted, and so now he’s un-tradable.

I wouldnt do compensation. If it became a consistent thing (i.e. 3 strikes) with 1 manager id just find a new manager to be honest. I did that in one of my pay leagues a few years back. Personally i think the correct way to take issue with an asking price is via PM or some 1-1 convo...as we have had convos in the past or as ive had convos with Brandon about some players ans the asking price. Basically negotiate. People can ask for anything they want but there has to be a market and a 2nd person to accept that price. If you can get the ask price, god bless and move on.

Players on the block for picks...or for other players i like. Inquire via PM

QB Ben Roethlisberger
RB Kalen Ballage
RB Kenneth Dixon
RB Gus Edwards
RB James White
RB Jamaal Williams
RB Jeff Wilson Jr.
RB Elijah McGuire
WR Sterling Shepard
WR Deon Cain
WR Dede Westbrook
WR Marcell Ateman
TE Eric Ebron
TE Troy Fumagalli
K Stephen Gostkowski

Willing to trade back in the first round from 1.6 if anyone is interested in moving up. Let me know. Thanks!

Ehh all your players suck.

Just wanted to get that in before this becomes a rule.

Out of curiosity, why can't you trash another teams players. Every league im in people trash each other. They get praise for perceivved good picks and trashed for perceived bad picks

Doing it for draft picks isn’t really a problem. If it’s a player on your trading block, however, then that’s a different story bc you’re potentially influencing his trade value.

just curious since he doesn't visit very often, if anyone let Sick know he's OTC.

*not complaining

I messaged him through the board, but not sure he's getting those. Someone may need to wake him back up lol

pretty sure he needs to be contacted outside the forum.

unless he gets emails for messages.

Ok. Makes sense. When is the trade deadline btw.

"adamprez2003 wrote:

Never. They can be done at any time. The players can only change teams though if it’s before the Yahoo deadline.

Just make sure to announce your trades here if they involve draft picks or if they’re done either before the league starts or after yahoo’s deadline and need to be input manually.
