MrTed46 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 What is your single best move you made that you are thankful for? The move can be drafting, adding, dropping or trading a particular player. In my local it is picking up DeAngelo Williams off the WW (he was dropped week 3 when Stewart was getting all the points). I picked him up on a flyer at the time to backup Addai, ADP and Kevin Smith. He is my #1 RB with ADP right now. My second best move I made (it was not keeping ADP) was drafting Roddy White. In my Dynasty, my single best move of the season was signing Kurt Warner for $20. I needed a QB badly and had a feeling his last 8 games of last season were going to carry into this season.

euphy Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I am thankful for dumping Colston for DeAngelo Williams like in week 9, picking up John Carlson as a TE week 2, and picking up Antonio Bryant in like week 5. Also, I am happy I drafted Adrian Peterson with the #2 pick, instead of Stephen Jackson or Bryant "I Am ALWAYS Hurt" Westbrook. I whiffed on Colston with my third round pick. Whiffed bigger on Edgerin James in the 5th round (when I could have had Cutler). But got lucky with Aaron Rodgers in the 10th round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegFuJohnson Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Both of my playoff teams are being led by late round draft pick Kurt Warner. DeAngelo Williams was a nice 5th RB to draft on one of the teams as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbimm Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 2 moves for the same team. Picking up Warner early when it was apparent that D Anderson was going to suck. Accepting a trade offer for Santonio Holmes. I got Thomas Jones straight up for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 (edited) In MSHB2 sticking with the draft even when it looked like it would take years to complete. In many leagues when I drafted D Anderson picked up Aaron Rodgers as his backup. What is your single best move you made that you are thankful for? The move can be drafting, adding, dropping or trading a particular player. In my local it is picking up DeAngelo Williams off the WW (he was dropped week 3 when Stewart was getting all the points).

Some people laughed at you for that but it was a smart move because I couldn't afford to match. Opening the bidding @ $20 threw some off.

Tford Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Still alive in every league that I have Kurt Warner as my QB. Some leauges I got him for $1. Targetting Jonathan Stewart and Matt Forte when many were looking at Darren McFadden and Rashard Mendenhall. Time will tell whether this remains a smart move, but for now, it sure looks good for me. Not giving up on Bradie James and Julius Peppers when they started slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpholmes Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 11-2, #1 Seed in 12-Team IDP Dynasty The most notable transactions that got me here, in order of importance: Drafting Matt Forte at 1.04 in rookie draft Trading 2009 1st rounder + Matt Castle for Clinton Portis Trading Heath Miller/Jerricho Cotchery for 2008 2nd+3rd Round Rookie Picks (Joe Flacco/DeSean Jackson) Acquiring Cortland Finnegan off of WW at the end of last season (#11 scoring DB) And to top things off, I'll be playing the team I traded Cotchery/Miller to this week in the playoffs (tonyr) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czarina Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I'd say the best move I made this year was not panicking when Shaub went out. Shaub was my backup to Hasselbeck (or so I thought prior to the start of the season). I was offered a trade that was frankly pretty horrible and refused to pull the trigger on it just to get a starter. I picked up Shaun Hill off the WW, held my nose and hoped for the best. Who knew?

Maize N Blue Backer Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Roddy in a re-draft 6th round, Westbrook at #2 overall...thank you to the #1 pick taking LT....Pick up of Antonio Bryant off waivers, worst move in a keeper, keeping B Edwards, then passing on T; Jones as a restricted free agent....needless to say 2-11 in that league this yer...

pmaddock Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 On a Sunday many weeks (back in week #6) ago, I realized that I needed one more key receiver (already had Andre Johnson and Jennings) to complete my team. I had plenty of running backs (Portis and Chris Johnson are my starters) and on the first Sunday that Westbrook was declared out, I offered up Buckhalter for the best receiver offer. Nobody had Buckhalter from the draft and even the Westbrook owner did not back up Westbrook by picking up Buck from the free agent wire. I had picked Buckhalter up several weeks earlier and was holding on to him for the right moment. About an hour went by and an owner offered up Calvin Johnson for Buckhalter. Needless to say, I jumped on his offer. I have since started Megatron every week and have been hugely rewarded. Buckhalter had one good week and has been invisible since. Now I am one game away from my Superbowl with a 11-2 record. This was the biggest move that made my season. MD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mags Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Getting Warner off of waivers after it was apparent Carson was going to suck this year. (week 2) Getting Baltimore off of waivers, yes someone dropped them in week 5. Getting Chris Johnson in the 12th round of my draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retrograde assault Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 My best move happened last year but helped set me up for success this year. I traded S.Alexander for M. Turner , my team is in the playoffs and the guy I beat in the league championship last year is no where to be seen this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
