We’re two weeks out from the first Sunday of the 2024 NFL season! With drafts at a fever pitch these next two weeks, the trades will be flying too. If you’ve got an IDP trade you’re thinking about sending, just received, or have completed recently, drop the details below (the more, the merrier) and the Big 3 will break it down on The IDP Trade Show on Tuesday.
Hey Chad, we'll answer this one here since it's not specifically trade-related. We don't think Ernest will be moved, but if he does, he should retain top 15 upside (even higher depending on landing spot). Next man up would be some combination of Christian Rozeboom, rookie Omar Speights, Jake Hummel, and Troy Reeder, as outlined in Jason King's latest article: https://www.theidpshow.com/p/deep-dynasty-linebacker-stashes-idp-fantasy-football
In other words, avoid until we know more if this move ends up happening.
Great show! Thanks for confirming my suspicions on my egregious overpays! Got bored and antsy this time of year. Should've stayed patient as you said. Keep up the good work.
About 6 weeks ago pre-rookie draft: PPR contract salary cap ($500) auction dynasty league 40 player roster. 9 off starters: 1QB, 2-3rb, 3-4wr, 1-2te, 1K. 11 def starters big play favored scoring: 3-5 DL, 3-5 LB, 3-5 DB. Return yards count. Traded Danielle Hunter $36 salary and Derwin James $26 salary to a contender for Zamir White $20 and 2.10 which ended up being Dallas Turner $6. My rb room is now Pollard, Z. White, Charbonnet, R. Johnson, A. Gipson, J. Wright, B. Allen. DL room is now W. Anderson, J. Simmons, Jermaine Johnson, W. McDonald, Oweh, Dallas Turner, and L. Latu. DB room is now Marcus Jones, J. Blackmon, T. Hufanga, Locke, McKinney, Nubin. We both feel the trade was reasonable- I freed up cap space, capitalized on value of established vets, and added to a weak rb room and a young 1st round DL talent. He has a top contending team with a good rb room, so the cost wasn't too great for him and he bolsters his def with some potential high end talent.
From a couple months ago. 14tm dynasty superflex, start 10 offense/3DL/4LB/4DB/1DFLX. 0PPR, PP1D for receiving, big play heavy defensive scoring. Sent Burns and a '25 4th for McLaurin and a '26 3rd. Had absolute garbage at WR, and I felt pretty good at the time still having M Sweat, Jeffery Simmons, Reddick, Ebukam, Autry, and Huff. Doesn't feel as good anymore. 😂
It's close and we wouldn't blame you for doing it. We see Spillane more as your LB3 after the Ernest trade, so he'd be a weekly starter with Fred and TJ. As opposed to Likely, who's only seeing the lineup in the event of an injury.
Both trades by me (team 2) considered overpays (mild to egregious), however, am flush with picks and wanting/needing to upgrade roster and have good base.
Full roster, if you cared.
Older league, before we discovered "true position" or "Big 3 scoring"
Superflex Dynasty League Roster 35, Start 17 Off & Def.
Defensive Starts: 2DL, 2LB, 2DB, 1DFlex. Tackle heavy scoring.
League 1: traded Ivan Pace 🥲 and Julian Blackmon for Azeez Al-Shaair.
League 2: (same settings) traded Cedric Gray & Luke McCaffrey for Azeez Al-Shaair.
*I'm kinda in on Azeez*
Good morning! I am wondering how you see the fallout if EJones moves on? Who would be the next man up? Thanks!

Well, well, well... guess we'll be discussing this on tonight's show! lol
Lol, thanks! Love your site!

How many teams in this league, Alex? If the pick is #25, we're thinking 32?
Great show! Thanks for confirming my suspicions on my egregious overpays! Got bored and antsy this time of year. Should've stayed patient as you said. Keep up the good work.
12 teams. Sorry. The pick is 3rd round, 2027. Likely late 3rd as my team usually is playoff bound.

Jacob, when you say 0PPR, you mean it's just a standard league with no points per reception?
Correct. We use PP1D, not PPR, to balance WR and RB (half PP1D for rushing and full PP1D for receiving).
Gotcha, thanks for clarifying.
Julian Love and Foye for Pacheco?
I would get Pacheco
Gotcha.
Also I’m being very unclear - I’d be trading Spillane (who’s my current LB4) for Likely.
It's close and we wouldn't blame you for doing it. We see Spillane more as your LB3 after the Ernest trade, so he'd be a weekly starter with Fred and TJ. As opposed to Likely, who's only seeing the lineup in the event of an injury.

Hi guys, how do you feel about Rob Spillane for Isaiah Likely ? For context it’s a 45 man roster, TE premium. I already have an LB room of :
KJ Britt
TJ Edwards
Ernest Jones
Fred Warner
Dorian Williams
Mack Wilson
Zack Baun
I have Sam Laporta and Mark Andrews so wanted Likely as Andrews insurance (and future replacement).
Start how many LBs?
