Michael Thomas Thread: Still a WR1?

[Never Veto1]

Dodged a bullet trading for him this offseason. Guy wanted more than I was willing to pay, and I told him there was too much risk for what he wanted. I was finally right on one of these.

Can't decide if I should sell now while he still has some value, however low, or just hold and hope for the best.

Other MT owners, what would you be looking for to sell?

I only have one share, I am holding. His talent level makes it hard for me to sell low on him

Same with me (except I have all the shares). No reason to really sell at this point. If you’ve held him this far you may as well keep holding unless you get a solid win now piece

Give me a late 1st and I'm out the door. ('23 1st preferably) He has the AB drama that I want nothing to do with. Yes he'll get his high scoring games in, but he'll also have his diva zeros to go with it. Someone else can have that headache.

I felt the same about OBJ... worse place to be is the guy holding the bag...

His price is only going to continue to decline. I don't foresee any sizeable comeback like AB. Unlike AB, MT is not just dealing with diva-itis but also a significant injury. I don't see this as a case where a change of scenery improves his stats.

I would make offers to other owners and put him on the trading block. I wouldn't ask for Tier1 talent at any position because that is almost certainly a no-go. I would take any 1st without a second's hesitation. I'd take any 2nd. Personally, at this point I'd take a 3rd and I think they're generally worthless. Naturally, you'll have to decide for yourself at what point the price is so low you'd rather hold him. I think a reasonable point is sell for a mid 2nd, hold for a 3rd.

I don't think many people are offering 1s though. I wouldn't

Guy in my league just picked up AP of the waivers, sent me over an offer from Michael Thomas straight up. I declined, and his response was I guess you don’t pay attention to the news, The saints had a trade lined up for him and MT vetoed it. I don’t see this anywhere, be it as it may I said I move him for a 2nd+ Lenny F, he said I was dreaming…

Just move on. MT for AP straight up is laughable.

Thanks, I knew I was wasn’t being unreasonable. The guy bought a terrible orphan and is kind of a dick anyways..

To be fair, this thread IS 5.5 years old…. Every #1 dynasty asset drops off at some point…

This is true... when you're Arguably the #1 Dynasty Asset, it's only ever downward from there.

In this case... uhhh... a LOT more downward.

[gogobradyarm]

I'm not selling unless I get a 1st+. I have no reason to believe he won't come back healthy and put up high end WR2 or even WR1 numbers. It's not like the dude lost his leg. Yes, he is a headache as a personality, but the talent won't disappear.

The pendulum may swing far enough, where he is a must buy. His ADP may fall to 75-90 (or worse), but next year he'll be a very startable WR.
