Selling Michael Thomas

[pmart33]

He just got moved during the rookie draft in a league I'm in for:

Keenan Allen
1.05
2021 1st

Thanks for posting it! I think the person getting MT got a pretty good deal (unless that 2021 1st is from a garbage team).

The owner who sold MT is coming off his 3rd straight title, but he went all in to get them to the point of having 0 pick between 2020 and 2022. Obviously it paid off for him big time, but he made the deal to continue competing now (with Allen sliding in for MT) while his window is still open and also get some assets to retool a bit with. The 21 first he picked up is probably going to be late, but selling any player is a lot easier coming of 3 straight championships! lol

Yeah that's fair. I'm having a whale of a time trying to get any bites on MT in my league. Haven't even gotten a counter so far...you'd think he was 35.

What about an offer to Team F for Mixon + 1st or Mixon + Chark?

[YouMightDieTryin]

He's not 35, but his QB is likely retiring next year and either Lasik Winston or Tuck n Run Taysom is next up. Not really an ideal situation there. So I think that's why people are hesitant to move.

Winston is pretty great for fantasy production tbh.
Would be very happy with that. Taysom would be an issue however

Considering that MT absolutely crushed it with Bridgewater under center last season I don't really understand why people still have this concern. Dude's QB proof.

Seriously...Winston supported two WR1s last season.

Thinking of maybe trying to offer MT + Gurley for AJB + Deebo + McLaurin + 2021 1st and see if I can get anywhere.

He countered with MT + Gurley or Deebo + McLaurin + Ertz + 2021 1st, which...eh. Even without Gurley that feels light to me.

[Hahaclintondix]

Have you let the league know that MT is available? That may start a nice bidding war. I'd send out a group text, or however your league communicates, tell them all. Then I'd float out a few of the deals you proposed and see what happens, or what is offered to you. Someone may overpay simply to land him and to keep him away from other owners. Good luck.

Just sent out a message on our GroupMe. So far this year the only offer I've gotten for him was for a 2021 2nd. Last year I got:

Thomas for 2020 2nd + 2020 4th
Thomas for Deebo + late 2020 1st

Your League sounds stupid

[Marauders]

I would try C first, then D

Given the deep starting requirements, i think this is at least in the ballpark. I think it's better than the Deebo+AJB+McLaurin combo for MT. I've seen Gurley dealt for a pair of 2020 2nds and some seem to see AJB as a top 10 WR.

Based on the trade market in one of my leagues, I'd do it. But, I wouldn't in another league's trade market. Really varies.

[hoos89]

Yeah people are definitely hesitant to trade up for studs in this league due to the starting requirements and that realistically devalues studs a bit. Would love it if I could get AJB but hes probably hesitant yo trade him...wondering if I could maybe replace Ertz with Fant + 2nd. or something like that.
