I have to say, my concept of player values in this league and what they might be traded for is apparently in a completely different ballpark than most of the rest of you. ---

I’m not sure I would have paid that much for Boldin even if I was “one player away”, but I suspect he’ll play another 2-3 years. He’s only 33 and he’s been slow for a long time, so hands, route running and FUCK YOU CORNERBACK I AM MIGHTY will keep him productive for a while. ---

He’s only 33 and he’s been slow for a long time, so hands, route running and FUCK YOU CORNERBACK I AM MIGHTY will keep him productive for a while. This will be his 5th straight year of not making 1,000 yards and he’s not much more than a better than average TE now. I don’t expect Ellington to be anything great, but his upside and a late first round pick are great value for Boldin. But Justin is most definitely in the running for a championship this year, and Boldin is, so far, a solid #2 WR, so maybe it’ll be a win/win. ---

He’s at 495 yards through 7 games, so he’s on pace for more than a thousand. He’ll probably need another game like Week 1 though. ---

I don’t think he has another 200 yard game in him. Take that one game out, and over the last 6 games, he has 290 yards (46 yards a game) and one touchdown total. We will see. ---

This is it, I know Boldin isn’t a monster and isn’t getting any younger, be he’s a dependable WR and that’s one of the things I need in the flex spots. ---

DeSean is also on the block, but I won’t take less than a near elite QB (think Matt Ryan) for him. ---

> [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > Trade announcement! I get Andre Ellington and Justin Bailey’s first round pick. He gets Anquan Boldin. Varlos- Yahoo says the trade will go through on Sunday morning, but just in case it doesn’t, can you push it through so I can start Boldin in Week 8? ---

Done. It should be noted \*\*Justin \*\*has traded away both his 1st and 2nd Rounders from next year’s draft. And of course \*\*RNATB \*\*is going to have to dump his last draft pick to make room for **Justin** ’s 1st. Also: god damn it all, would people stop sending valuable pieces to my division rival? I’m trying to make the playoffs this year. ---

> [@VarlosZ](#): > > Also: god damn it all, would people stop sending valuable pieces to my division rival? I’m trying to make the playoffs this year. Kenny Stills and/or other players are still on the block for a dependable RB. The future is now baby! ---

I now have 2 first round (Spiller trade)and 2 second round (Brees for Roddy White trade) draft picks in a 2014 draft that I think will be very good. ---

We’ll need Varlos to process this trade manually since I am not sending a player back to dale. I dropped James Starks to make room. ---

My opponent, Fighting Quakers, has two players on bye in his lineup as well as a very doubtful to play Rashard Mendenhall. I’d be willing to let him make a lineup adjustment, but obviously I don’t want to wait until all the Sunday games are over. Any thoughts on what to do in this type of a situation? ---

My opinion is always the same on these kind of things: Slot in whoever had the highest projected points. It’s easily quantified and not subjective. ---

Did he fix it last minute? Doesn’t look like these guys are in his lineup anymore, not sure if Varlos fixed it. ---

Wow, Marvin Jones coming out of nowhere with 4 TDs. That’s going to cost someone some big FAAB bucks.
