I got Jimmy Graham in exchanged for woe-is-me Julio Jones. Best TE in the game - feels good man!
Championship.
Championship.
Just trade-raped this dude...

I bet the other guy is as excited as you are. Graham is great but he won't see near as many targets as he did with New Orleans.
Uhhhhh......Gronk?
It's a pretty even trade overall w/o knowing all the particulars. Graham has the position scarcity thing going for him. Who'd you have at TE previously, and who is stepping into Julio's spot?

As a Saints fan who had Graham on his fantasy team last year, let me tell you that the other guy feels pretty good. Graham had A LOT of crucial drops last year. Or at least it felt that way. But hey, now he has Russell Wilson instead of Drew Brees! Oh... Damn.
I'm sure he feels the exact same way... Julio is arguably the #1 WR, for a TE not named Gronk. Jimmy's targets are going to be way down as well. It's bad value if you didn't get anything else. Top 10 player for one outside of the top 30.

I agree. As a saints fan it pains me to say this but Jones is poised for a monster year. I hope you have some serious WR depth.
I don't know if I'd call that a trade rape. Looks pretty even to me because Graham is trending down and he's with Russell Wilson now instead of Brees.
You had them as your bench players? Surely not. Maybe the better way to ask it is who replace Julio in your starting lineup that wasn't already in it before the trade?
^^^^This^^^^
I would much rather have Julio Jones than Jimmy Graham, especially after you told me your other WR's. Russell Wilson will only throw 20-25 a game and maybe five to Jimmy. Julio will be a top five WR this year with 8 to 12 targets a game. Jimmy? I doubt he will do much better than top ten. You got hosed. I would just as soon had a half dozed TE's as Jimmy this year. Gronk is the only TE worth going after in the early rounds. I would have loved to have gotten him.
You still could come out on this though. It is fantasy football.
I completely saw "date raped this guy".
Was going to suggest outing yourself a little more subtly.

I shouldn't talk after the worst fantasy day in my history, but Julio Jones is one of the best players on anyone's roster. I'll take that trade any day. Surely you jest that all you have left is D. Jackson (IR could happen) and the kickofff returner named for a precious metal. If so, you're dead already. It is hard to get points from the TE spot, but JG is far from a sure thing on a new team.
LOL.
I've got Julio in one league. Played Graham (and Lynch) this week.
Julio went for 15. Graham went for 1. Uno. Single.
I think you got robbed.

Now you're acting like you were trolling the whole time? LOL
This thread may be hall of fame material before it's all over.
Good. Leave it up there. As soon as Julio gets hurts, I'll be sitting pretty.
FF is a marathon, not a sprint...........

Hell Julio could get hurt today, and at this rate Jimmy won't even catch him until week 11.
Currently, Julio is on pace for an unreal season. But you're entirely correct that he could get hurt.
