Re: Completed Trade MISTAKE - Do I interfere as Commish?

For those following along at home: I was going to wait until Team B responded, but then another manager posted in the league chat? "So is that Stroud trade standing or? He immediately said it was a mistake and no one is sending Stroud for 1.08 and two 2nds, right? Just know that if I truly acc...

Re: Travis Kelce... It's Time

I could absolutely see Kelce swing back to being a good buy depending how hard his ADP takes a hit.

Re: Your Safest Bet Remains a 1st Round TE

Do people need an explanation of value? Production over replacement at acquisition cost is fantasy 101.

The original statement was safety and value are not synonymous. We are looking for predictive, actionable advantages. Simply drafting first round TEs at cost hasn't show to be that.

Re: Your Safest Bet Remains a 1st Round TE

Alright, just to clarify a bit at least how I calculate value using Worst-starter method as far as the values between TE and WR. First, the assumptions. These are different for all leagues and value is league dependent. If our league was a 12 team league, we start 2 WRs required and 1 TE required w...

Re: Your Safest Bet Remains a 1st Round TE

So to wrap this all up, drafting a first round TE is your best bet to ensure a safe floor at the lowest scoring position with no correlation to elite production.

Got it. Moving on

Re: Your Safest Bet Remains a 1st Round TE

wickerkat1212, aside from Superflex leagues, you're probably comparing the least useful value proposition there. QB and TE are "start one" positions in standard fantasy (unless otherwise specified) Where there's a real debate is in the value of having a singular top end TE and a low end W...

Re: Your Safest Bet Remains a 1st Round TE

Perhaps. I can tell you that Kyle Pitts 1st year as a TE was the 2nd highest fantasy total by a rookie 1st Round TE ever and 5th overall by any rookie TE Kincaids was the 12th highest Rookie TE ever This further shows the lack of value in the position. Pitts record year was equivalent to the WR36 i...

Re: Your Safest Bet Remains a 1st Round TE

Safety and value are different things. Elite TE scoring was down this year. When the top TEs are barely outpacing K & DSTs, it's hard to make a case for spending up for them. Perhaps. I can tell you that Kyle Pitts 1st year as a TE was the 2nd highest fantasy total by a rookie 1st Round TE ever...
