I'm likely going to jump on this, but I like bringing my real life expert league trades to you guys. It's fun to talk it out.
His two offers:
I get Keenan Allen
For
My Michael/1.01 or Lamar Miller/1.01
- Smitty | Owner/Founder

The only issue will be once a RB looks like the 1.01 lock...
But Michael or Miller, who do you send packing?

both are very talented IMHO but Miller has philbin(the moron lol) as his coach and CM is behind lynch/turbin..trade the one you like least or flip a coin lol.. but as i posted in another thread i am putting more emphasis on the wrs now a days ..Rb are becoming less and less important in FF..

I'd give Allen, Miller and Michael for Watkins. I don't care if he goes to the USFL...he's the next AJG/Julio/Dez type of WR.

^yep...Watkins can hope that he can do what Allen has ALREADY done... don't fall in love with the shiny new toys.

Watkins can/will do everything Allen has done/will do...except run at least .2 seconds faster in the 40.

My 2013 Predictions:
[:(] C.J. Spiller Will Be The #1RB(Jan 9th)
[XXX] Demaryius Thomas will be the #1 scoring WR!(Feb 13th)
[XXX] Trent Richardson will NOT finish as a Top 10 RB!(June 4th)
[:(] Rob Housler will be a Top 5 TE in 2013!(July 18th)
[XXX] Josh Gordon will put up a 80/1200/10 stat line in just 14 Games!(Sept 5th)

People said the same thing about AJG in CIN with a rookie Andy Dalton at QB.

Allen himself is a shiny new toy. Just because he played decent doesn't mean he's a solid top 5 dynasty wr.
I get what you're saying, but saying Allen is more stable than Watkins is mistaken. Plenty of rookie wrs have decent seasons then fall off. Watkins has more upside than Allen IMO but who knows maybe he flops.
The key here is giving up a RB too. I think Allen=1.1 and probably would not give up a rb with upside like Michael in a package for him. I just don't see a reason to make this move before the NFL draft. As we all know, 1.1 goes up in value while most rostered players stay same.

Final deal.

I would keep what you have Smitty. The 1.1 is likely to grow in value, and if you want to trade it down the road, you can probably get an even better return.
EDIT: never mind...a minute late ........but good job getting Sproles added

I'd pass but it's far from absurd.

I like Allen and he had a nice rookie season but Martin and T Rich had great rookie seasons too. Is Allen elite? I dont know. I think Id hang onto the 1.01 for now. If hes willing to make this move now then he will surely still do it when the 1.01 gains even more value.
