Your luckiest Dynasty move ever

[brofinator]

One of my luckiest moves has to be from last year's rookie draft. My friend and I co-own a team and we had the 5th pick. Sterling Shepard was the typical pick at that point and Michael Thomas was usually going 6th, but he is a Saints fan and we said we'd rather draft a player for a team we can root for. Sure enough we took Thomas and lucked into a guy that is now valued as a top 10 asset. The jury is still very much out on these guys, but still very lucky so far.

Also, this is a superflex league and we snagged Carson Wentz at 2.05 and picked up Dak for free right after the draft.

I'd think most Antonio brown owners can chime in here

drafted him in the 37th round of the DLF IDP startup in 2011. Pure dumb luck. Obviously I liked him enough to grab him, but I won't even try to take credit for it.

Trades.... moved Ronnie Hillman during a stretch where he looked like he was taking over in Denver plus Rueben Randle for Alshon, who I then flipped with a 2nd for Antonio Brown

Draft.... contract league... used two 5th round rookie picks on Gronk and Hernandez (which means a salary that is almost free for 5 years). Completely set one of my dynasties in motion to be a top 3 finisher for the last few years

Worst... gave up Ajayi and a 2nd to take a shot on Joseph Randle as he was looking good behind that Dallas O-line

Having an owner turn down my offer of Hopkins and DJ for Dez in 2015, right before he got hurt and Hopkins and DJ blew up

Had an owner turn down a 17 1st and 2nd for Dorial Green Beckham last offseason. The 17 1st turned into Corey Davis and the 2nd turned into D'onta Foreman for me. Still early, but looking pretty promising.

I'm in a 48 team league (4 copies of each player).

As soon as Calvin hinted at retirement last year, I had a trade partner lined up that didn't buy in.

I "unloaded" Calvin for the straight up low price of Doug Baldwin.

And during our championship match this past season, I met that owner in week 16. Winner takes the 48 team crown. His team put up massive points early, but Doug Baldwin blew up that week and helped to seal my comeback victory and the crown

Week 7, 2015.
Top rbs are very expensive in our league and at this time Hill was a young proven top rb, so i got this offer for my hill. parker wasnt on the field and dj was still the backup, but he had some flashes and six tds so far, so i took the deal, especially because i thought his 1st could be early.

GAVE:
Aaron Dobson WR ARI
Jeremy Hill RB CIN (rank: 19-60-184)
2016 3rd round pick

GOT:
DeVante Parker WR MIA (rank: 51-179-43)
David Johnson RB ARI (rank: 1-7-1)
2016 1st round pick (was the 1.01 end of the season => zeke )

During 2013 rookie draft in my main league, I had pick 3.01 one of the guys wanted the pick and he offered me his 3.9, 3.11 and DeAngelo Williams. I picked Kelce, Latavius Murray with the picks. DeAngelo didn't do much in 14, it's a deep roster league and I held on to him. Come 2015 conference championship game, playing the same guy I have traded with, my starting RB's were DeAngelo/Lat Murray & Hightower(picked off waivers), I win and went on to win the championship game with the same 3 RB's all 3 of them killing it that week.

My luckiest dynasty moment is when I stumbled upon DLF and it's great content, updated rankings and ADP, and the most active and knowledgeable dynasty forum community on the internet!

(dear DLF admins, you can send me a PM for directions on where to send that endorsement check )

2008 I traded 1.6 and Marvin Harrison to the guy who had Lendell "stay puff" White for 1.5 and took CJ2k. Took 3 of 5 championships after that. Oh by the way Harrison never players a down of ball after that. And he had to take Kevin Smith with the 1.6. Ouch
Also traded Payton Hillis and the 1.10 for 1.3 and guess who I took......JULIO.

[ColdZealDonkeyStrike]

Ah, LenWhale. I forgot about him.

[Cherokee]

2013 traded away Reggie Wayne and a 2nd for TY Hilton and Justin Hunter

[FeartheRavens06]

A few years ago I sold high on Ryan Torain for a future 1st...that pick turned into 1.01... which I then used on TRich lol

Another one is this year, as soon as I saw that Lynch might go play for OAK I scooped him up just in case, like within a minute. Didn't think it would actually happen but sure enough it did and now my RBs went from weak to average just from reading a Roto blurb

[GridironGuerilla]

Almost traded Mike Evans for Tre Mason week 8 of 2014. I revoked it because the guy wanted a 3rd as well. Thank God.

Drafting Landry in round 17 of dynasty startup
Trading Calvin two months before his retirement.
Trading away DGB (when he seemed to be promising) for Cam, even though Cam sucked last year
