You can see everyone’s roster here.
I don’t know why but I thought @Hamlet would go WR. Oh well, I’m mostly happy with this pick (though not for lack of trying from @Jules_Andre and @SenorBeef).
1.03 TreVeyon Henderson (RB - NE)
Whelp. Was hoping to trade back up into the 1st for TreVeyon. Crap.
Only from a PC, looking at it from my phone (which is how I usually access the internets) and it automatically brings up the Yahoo app which still looks like the league hasn’t been activated yet.
Now I know I could just pull it up on my PC but that is all the way upstairs.
I bet if you copied the link and pasted it into your web browser’s address bar it would work.
Well you don’t do anything half-assed. You always put the work in and act decisively. That’s an instant rebuild and a pretty solid one. I don’t think your contending window was over, but I agree with you that if you wanted to move players you probably have to do it earlier than later.
Those trades are all pretty reasonable. At first glance I thought Hill and Kupp was giving up a lot, but they’re 32 and 31. I didn’t realize they were that old. I’m not sure I realized I’m that old. In that case I actually think you came out ahead on that trade by a decent margin. I guess it makes sense that the win now contending team would pay a small premium.
Surprised you didn’t/couldn’t offload Henry, since he seems like a prime target for this sort of rebuild. Maybe you still will.

I’m really worried that I cost myself a championship this year doing all this, honestly. But I know none of these moves happen next year, either. And if those guys retire on my team, it will be a dark few years afterward.
Henry is a little different because he very clearly is still a top 5 RB this season, and without a fluke catastrophic injury, I don’t see that changing next year. So he still has weird value for an old RB, but you’re right, he’s perfect for someone looking to make a run.
On that note…
Trade to announce:
Jules gives up:
RB Derrick Henry
2026 2nd
Justin gives up:
RB Zach Charbonnet
2026 1st
This one is interesting, because I think Henry is worth a lot (as said above), but Charbonnet has been a darling of mine since he came out. Despite being younger, I might only get a year out of him as a starter before he moves on (and there is no guarantee he is a starter after that). And the move up from 2nd to 1st next year could end up being only a few spots if my team completely tanks this year and Justin rides Henry and James Cook to the playoffs. But it fits the plan and gives me more ammo next year if I completely blow it picking players this year, which is very, distressingly possible
With a 50/50 split after 10 votes, should we consider this proposal failed for this year but ask again next year?
It makes sense to me that we should need a change to win rather than tie, so unless one of the two remaining voters wanted to break the tie it seems like we should stand pat on the rule.
I also just borked the draft. I forgot I solved this problem in the past when there’s a player for draft pick swap, it makes sense just to change the owner of the team that owns the pick being used to keep the player. Instead I pulled the people off everyone’s roster, re-assigned draft picks, and now I got myself all mixed up about which slots are being used to keep which players. I wish I could revert everything I did in the last half hour and I’d be able to fix it, but I think I’m going to have to reconstruct all the moves without remembering which slots were holding which players and it’s giving me a headache.
That did work.
I hate to give up Charbonnet, he was the guy I wanted going into the draft a few years ago and I got him. But the Seahawks don’t seem to know what to do with him. And as Jules said, will he ever be a starter if he goes somewhere else?
I have the same worry about James Cook. He’s the man in Buffalo this year, but next year isn’t guaranteed, so let’s roll the dice with Henry.
I very much like my team, but I don’t think this will be my only trade.
I think this will be a particularly interesting trade. I don’t think I would have made it if I were Dale but I feel like the value is relatively fair.
It’s possible that both Hill and Kupp will be viewed as completely cooked come this time next year. But Seattle seems to think Kupp is still valuable enough to sign a big contract and we’ve seen Darnold deliver a big WR season. Hill will almost certainly collapse as an asset the day his speed betrays him, but whether that’s this year or in 3 years I don’t know. He’s only one season removed from being a consensus Top 3 overall fantasy pick.
If I were a betting man, I’d short the hell out of both Kupp and Hill for this season, never mind future seasons. But it’s not like either of those draft picks are a safe bet either.
I just spent an hour unborking the stupid draft because I executed the trades wrong, and when I tried to pull Christian McCaffery off Petey’s roster so I could reset him, I saw Luke McCaffery and thought oh I must’ve added him by mistake because I didn’t think anyone was keeping him. So I removed Luke, and that totally screwed up all the numbers and it was surprisingly complicated to figure out what I’d done wrong. But I think I’ve got it all worked out now, but double check the results to make sure you have all your picks and players please.
I know Peteys and Mundi’s results look odd because they have a kept player above a draft pick, but that’s correct. They traded for those picks after their keepers were set. Picks used on keepers aren’t really part of the draft, they’re just a record keeping necessity.
It’s actually quite easy to do a pick for player trade in the draft, you just change ownership within the draft order itself and send the pick the player is being kept with along with the player rather than removing the player from one roster and adding him to another. I solved that in the past but I didn’t remember solving it until I screwed it up. I’m starting to keep a bylaws/procedures file because I don’t remember things as well as I used to.
I worded it wrong. I was thinking since it’s so close after 10 votes, regardless of the last two votes, should we table it for this season but revisit it next season.
Rarely do need, the board and homerism come together so well. I have great depth at RB but only one of my guys is guaranteed to start. I like Tet McMillan but I’m not entirely convinced that Bryce Young is good yet, and I don’t like to buy into passing games unless the QB is good. I don’t know what to make of Hunter, Egbuka is going to be a career #2 (albeit a very good one), and I have too many TEs already. I was hoping Hampton or Henderson fell, but that doesn’t happen in this league. So…
1.01 Omni - Ashton Jeanty, RB, LV
1.02 Hamlet - Omarion Hampton, RB, LAC
1.03 Justin - TreVeyon Henderson, RB, NE

@Jules_Andre is on the clock.
Yessss the first RB reach, nature is healing.
If Jules didn’t draft before me 3 fucking times I’d think this will be another year where everyone reaches on RBs and I get like the WR3 prospect at the 11 pick
Well, shit. I did not expect that. I don’t know how long it will take for me to predict that RBs get overdrafted in this league, but it is at least one more year.
1.05 - Travis Hunter, WR, JAX
I’ll take the wildcard pick, why not? I might never forgive myself for passing on the highest fantasy prospect to come out of my hometown school, but I think Travis Hunter is just better as a receiver in every way. On a completely unrelated note, we should vote on giving IDP points to offensive players. I think it would be very important to the future of this league to do this. There is no other reason at all.
@Ol_Gaffer is on the clock
Joking aside, I do think you should get points for actual points scored (TD, Safety) by Hunter on DEF should they occur.
1.06 - Tetairoa McMillan, WR, CAR
@Spiritus_Mundi is on the clock.
