Not necessarily in terms of lost value, but the worst trade I ever made was in a 2QB league 2 years ago. My second QB was injured and I needed another. I traded Bishop Sankey and a 3rd round Rookie/FA draft pick (ended up being Josh Hill) for Jake Locker.

That is the definition of a Loss-Loss trade.

I think my worst was in 2014 I sent Eifert (was injured all season) and my 2015 1st round pick (ended up being Todd Gurley) for an "upgrade" at TE which was Julius Thomas when he played for the Broncos... Worst part was he got injured near the end of the season so I couldn't even use him for my playoff push...

Mine also involves shipping Le'Veon Bell...

Sent: Bell

Seeing Lev Bell on a team with Zeke (owner had 1.1, and 1.2), and Treadwell being Treadwell saddens me daily. :(

I traded Elliot for JJones along with Nelson for L Murray. Don't think I will ever get over it, especially since I had D Johnson to go along with Elliot for the next 4 years. And without Nelson, I had to go FA to get starting WRs the rest of the year. I did make the final, where I lost, but think I would have had a 3-4 yr dynasty if I had not made the trade. Stupid! Stupid!
Ha Ha..I feel your pain man!!!

I am an opportunist when it comes to making trades. I will tell you about DUMB opportunities I missed.

Todd Gurley's rookie season he fell to me with the 10th overall pick. Our league just converted into PPR format. I knew that Wrs were valuable. Nelson Aghlor just came off of a big week 3 or 4 preseason game. Gurley recovering from ACL injury. Guess who I drafted??? SMH Yep..Nelson Agholor. SMH This still burns.

Another bone head move I made was this past season. I had the opportunity to acquire Gurley. The trade was for Will Fuller (when hype was still around him) & Kenneth Dixon. I would have acquired Gurley & Jermey Maclin. Smh I can't believe I didn't make the trade. I am still sick from that!

I don't think this trade is to bad actually. Depends on what else you have on your roster but if you had WR depth and/or rebuilding, it's some nice young healthy RBs.
