I could understand Collins, but my god man, why did you give up JuJu and Watson with where you likely drafted them at least? Do you have like a 15 man roster?
25 man rosters. And neither player had gone white hot yet. Whats worse is my league pretty much rarely trades.

OBJ.

I "win".
Ouch. There was a guy in one of my leagues who did this. It was our first year in dynasty, so we were all new to it. The guy who picked him up now has OBJ, Evans, Keenan, Gronk, Gurley, Freeman, Wentz...

Dropped Jimmy G, Julius, Tyreek, and Allen Hurns before their spikes in value.

On the flip side, I picked up OBJ his rookie year from the wire when an impatient owner dropped him after the seemingly-at-the-time-but-only-3-or-4-weeks-in-reality endless injuries. Went to 3 championships & won 1 since, in large part from the OBJ pickup. Thinking I came out ahead on the pluses / minuses of the drops / adds tho.

Jordy Nelson after three lackluster seasons to start his career.

If I remember correctly, I also had James Jones and thought he'd be the better investment in Green Bay's WR corps at the time. :doh:

Dropped Demayrius Thomas after his rookie season, never thought he'd wind up producing. This was after drafting him with my first rounder. Dropped Woods at the beginning of this season before he picked up steam. Someone in my league actually dropped Gronk in the early years.

On the flip side, I picked up Jordy Nelson, Doug Baldwin, Victor Cruz, (the afore mentioned Woods), and Chris Hogan off the wire in our league over the years.
QBs: Dak Prescott, Teddy Bridgewater, Taysom Hill, Jameis Winston, Jalen Hurts, Andy Dalton

After review of most of my leagues for the past couple of years looks like the biggest names have been:

ASJ
CJA
P. Barber

Cousins
Collins (2 leagues)
Crowder
All my teams suck. And I'm not in your league.

Dropped Cousins in my 20 team super flex. Couldn’t keep him due to roster limitations. Also this was when it wasn’t sure if RG3 or Cousins would be starting. I recently trade Big Ben and Peyton Barber for him as well.

I've been pretty lucky in my 2QB league, there hasn't really been a stud/consistent player I've come to regret. Mainly just guys who would have helped me out in a season or so:

- Hoyer
- Brissett
- McCarron, maybe this will come back to bite me
- Keenum, feels like he's been owned by half our league now
- Enunwa, decent year in 2016, no clue how he comes back in 2018

I dropped Funchess for Thielen in two of my leagues, so while I lucked out I still feel stupid, as I had about a million other roster cloggers on both.

Also dropped Lewis in more than one league, which means he'll probably continue to defy the odds and be the pats RB1 for years to come.

This year: Funchess, Collins, Aaron Jones, Cohen (in preseason).

I had the right instinct early this year- but wasn't patient enough to hold.

I dropped Pryor 2 years ago the week before Josh Gordon was supposed to return. Gordon go suspended for the rest of the season and Pryor went on to have a 1000 yard season. Doesn't look as bad now that Pryor flamed out in Washington but I was salty about that one.

my personal worst of all time was the season Vick exploded i had Kolb as my only qb in a 16 teamer (redreaft not dynasty) and so after the draft but before the season i picked up Vick and i also decided to pick up Peyton Hillis (purely because i knew CLE had nobody penciled in as starting rb that was even halfway decent)

well i got excited about 2 other prospects and dropped em both prior to week 1...kolb lasted all of 30 seconds and then vick was the #1 player lol



worst recent ones in dynasty were CJ Anderson a couple years ago, Rawls when he was hot, and Aaron Jones last season (guy who picked him up flipped him for an early 1st like right away EF me)

12 team, 1 pt for 4 rec, 0.1 per rush
