Oh that explains why my Kevin White for DJ trade offer was immediately turned down in my personal trannies only league.

Nope. I am just cutting him to make room on my IR. We have two IR spots and I have White in one and Enunwa in the other. I just traded for DJ, so I am cutting White and putting him in that IR slot.
I traded Watkins and some other stuff for DJ and Delanie Walker.
I like Watkins a lot, but we only start two WRs and have one flex in this league, and Watkins wasn't starting with Hopkins, Allen, Thielen, and Davis on my roster. Meanwhile, at RB all I really have is Melvin Gordon and Doug Martin, along with a bunch of mid-tier backs like Gio and Poopdick. Being able to start Gordon and DJ will be nice going forward.

I gave up a fair amount, but I gave up things I can afford to give up.
The overall deal was Watkins, Perriman, Kamara, a 2019 1st, and a 2018 2nd for DJ and Walker. Perriman meant nothing to me. I liked Kamara, but it was unlikely he'd ever start for me except on bye weeks or due to injury when you only start two RBs and one flex. The second I got when I traded Danny Woodhead for Duke Johnson a few weeks back, and it's likely to be a late second. The first is my own 2019 pick, but obviously I'm hoping it will end up being a late first.
I've mentioned that I really like Watkins, but again, he's not a current starter on my team. I've got Hopkins, Allen, Thielen, and Davis who are on the same level or better starts right now, and I've also got Mike Williams, Josh Doctson, Nelson Agholor, Donte Moncrief, and Zay Jones as guys who will be nice trade bait for me if they start looking good this year.
Adding Walker was really nice for me, though, as my TE situation was not great. I have OJ Howard, but I doubt he gives me much this year. I also have Brate, who is good, but I think Howard will siphon off some of his targets. I also had DeValve, who I started in week one, but I cut him after the trade to pick up Buck Allen. Might add him back if he clears waivers, as this trade will open up two roster spots for me.

Jacquizz Rogers as your flex? My team has much more depth than yours.

No way dude. Even if it did, my starters are way better.

Rodgers is probably his flex because he's a starting RB for the next four weeks in a dynamic offense that should move the ball a lot.

Ben vs Derek (You probably have the edge here, I actually waited on QB and Ben was the best guy left after a QB run. Though Ben plays with a great offense so he is capable).
Nelson (Elite WR), Hilton (Capable WR 1/high end WR 2), Golden Tate (Solid WR 2)
Melvin Gordon (Top 5ish RB), Fournette (RB 1 with large volume)
Reed and Olsen are a wash though who knows how Reed injury will affect him. Though I think Reed was rated a higher than Olsen preseason)
My bench is better than yours. Cohen could be a very hign end Flex, who knows his potential) Buck Allen should be a solid Flex option. Cobb he could be the #2 for Rodgers and get a lot of targets and perform similar to his prime. Landry should be serviceable as a flex option. Then you have the #1 WR on the Ravens in Maclin and you know what he can do if he gets targets. Also have Danny Amendola.
How does Crowder, Coleman, John Brown, Kupp, Frank Gore and Blount compare? If I wanted to I could trade for an elite QB and maybe even get a Gronk or Kelce.

Hilton isn't doing shit until Luck gets back. Might as well not even start him.
I drafted him in a couple of leagues, but he's riding the pine until Luck is the guy throwing to him again. I also drafted him knowing I'd likely be benching him for the first quarter of the season in those leagues, so no big deal.

Yeah I am not starting Hilton but when comparing teams I have to use a situation where Luck is healthy.

When you're drafting a running back, do you like the guys that keep it on the outside, or the guys that drill you deep and hard right up the ass of the defense?
