I'm such a derivative counterfeit!

It made me dig up an old post on PitP re: Trading. "In rotisserie, if you’re leading the league in blocks and have extra shot blockers, it would be a safer move to trade your extra man to the guy last in blocks than to your closest competitor in that category. - No brainer there! But I feel it had to be said. You’ll be surprised at the number of rookie trade mistakes some people make." http://pointsinthepaint.wordpress.com/2008/01/11/trading-art-or-science/ Great point Nels!

I grabbed him last year because I also expected him to blow up. It happened to Williams and CP3, right? Anyways, I don't think he's going to do much this season under Brown except get his head caved in. LB is going to tear him down before he builds him back up... Felton is a tough fantasy pick.

I didnt need him and hes killer in some cats. I paird him with felton and got something in return. wasnt anything great, but i needed FG% points and taking those two off helped. Obviously i wouldnt just drop felton, as he has some value. But i couldve dropped mccants, but wouldve given his threes to someone competitive instead of a bottom feeder. good post. p.s. Im never drafting felton again, i expected a breakout year but his FG % is killer. When youve been burned by a player in fantasy, you tend to stay away from him for the rest of his career. Unless theres some dramatic turnaround, something amare like. ive done this, i did it last season with rashad mccants who is little more than a one trick pony.
