Productive Struggle Trade Targets

[kmbryant09]

Underachieving studs / borderline studs:
-OBJ (small buy-low window?)
-S. Diggs
-J. Mixon (though I personally won't be targeting him)
-J. Conner (with Ben coming back)
-G. Kittle

Free Agents in 2020:
-A. Ekeler (big target of mine, but waiting a few weeks for Gordon to hopefully get involved)
-K. Drake
-R. Jones (Barber is a FA in 2020)

Rookies in crowded situations:
-M. Sanders (Sproles retiring? Howard a FA?)
-D. Samuel
-P. Campbell (Funchess / Ebron will likely be gone, who knows about Hilton's status)
-J. Hill (his owners are probably holding, but could see a huge spike if something happens to Ingram)
-D. Harris
-D. Johnson (looks to be solidifying himself as the WR #2 in PITT, and will get Big Ben back next year)
-I. Smith Jr. (already looks better than Rudolph, who might get cut / traded in the off-season)

Buy in low on D. Singletary now while it’s not too late. Because in a month it will be.

You could also take a chance on young guys who aren't proven yet, but tons of potential. DJ Chark looks like a player to me, and his value has definitely risen, but I don't think he's expensive yet and I think he can vastly out produce his current price.

Good call but his value definitely varies

I threw out an offer of Trey Quinn + 2020 2nd for Chark

Immediately rejected and countered with 2020 1st + 2020 2nd

Not sure Ben will come back, and he won't be the same if he does.

Ekeler is an RFA, not a UFA.

No thanks. He's a 200 LB RB that lacks great pass catching skills and already can't stay on the field, on a bad offense. He's had 15 touches and already got hurt. He's made a few splash plays. I don't think this guy is going to be a lead back. He's a spell back IMO.

Care to list some of your trades you made to get 7 first?

I've seen so many guys load up on this draft and did so by trading away some pretty young talent which I find bizarre. People having been trading guys like chubb and cook away... like wtf if you got 2 guys that good with the picks youd be extatic

Not the OP but I’ll share mine since I have 7 also

1: mine, like 1.03-1.06
2: last year week 6 sold Manny Sanders, think this will be in the 1.05-1.08 range.
3: sold 2019 1.11. This pick is looking like 1.01-1.03.
4: Sold MVS. Looking like another 1.05-1.08 now but before season was probably the favorite. Lost Luck and AB.
5: sold 2019 1.02 (Jacobs went 1.01) for DJ Moore+2020 1st. Looking like 1.03-1.06
6: 2019 1.04 for Pettis+1st, thinking 1.05-1.08
7: Robert Woods for 1st+2021 2nd. Looking like another 1.02-1.05 range.

It's early. Trade 2,4 or 6 may result in a later than projected pick as we still only in week 5 and their teams could rally. But overall I'm happy.

Those are pretty stellar trades. Love 2 3 4 and 5 especially

C. Davis is a guy I am targeting. Current owner wants a late 2020 1st for him. Is he worth it on a rebuild?

Still a CD believer myself, but no way I'm giving a '20 1st for him.

I acquired all of these picks during the startup. My plan during the startup was to trade down for value. I didn't necessarily target 1sts or plan to punt in year 1, but that's where the value was. After I acquired a few while trading down, I decided to punt year 1 and acquire as much young talent as possible. By doing this, I knew my pick would likely be high as well. This is a 24 team 2 copy league, so basically a 12 team league.

Gave 1.15, 8.15
Received 2.19, 3.19

Gave 2.10
Received 3.15, 2020 1st

Gave 2.19
Received 3.23, 2020 1st

Gave 3.10
Received 4.20, 2020 1st

Gave 3.19, 2020 3rd
Received 4.21, 2020 1st

Gave 6.15, 10.21, 19.10
Received 8.04, 26.04, 27.21, 2020 1st

Gave 7.10, 8.04
Received 7.24, 27.24, 2020 1st

I also acquired another 2nd that looks like it's going to be a bottom 2 team, so I should end up with 9 of the top 13 players in this class unless I make more trades. Some of the 1sts are already looking like top 5 picks as well.
