Double Trouble
We all know that our league may contain another UTH subscriber or two, but this was certainly confirmed in one league this week when the same trade was tweeted out by both owners:
@JustInTimeNFL D.Adams for M.Wilson,J.Huff,J.Hill #uthtrades
— Jamie Walton (@RaggyAce) April 3, 2015
#UTHtrades 12 team devy ppr, gave Huff, Josh Hill and M Wilson, got Davante Adams — Katie Flower (@FF_Skyler399) April 3, 2015
Gotta give this one to Katie Flower since, as we covered last week, I think this is a great time to buy Davante Adams. And as it just so happens Katie also writes for UTH! Check out Katie’s latest article – A prospect love letter to Todd Gurley.
Keenan Allen Mystery Man
Keenan Allen is quickly becoming one of the most polarizing players in dynasty. Doug and Chad recently shared some optimism in Keenan Allen’s Player Spotlight while UTH-er Justin Huestis recommends cashing out while the getting’s good. This deal is an example of someone doing just that:
@Harahduh2 @ChadParsonsNFL Gave K. Allen, got Carlos Hyde & Josh Huff #UTHtrades — Robert Knight (@fakeevilrob) April 5, 2015
I like the Carlos Hyde side of this deal if only because Hyde is has more value to most owners. (I’m personally a bit concerned that he’ll have a limited role in the passing game). Plus Josh Huff is a nice little throw in.
In general I’m a bit torn on whether or not to target Keenan Allen. He’s certainly shown he has WR1 upside, but if he doesn’t rebound in 2015 his value will suffer a major, and potentially permanent, hit.
Always Ask for Seconds
I like this next trade as good example of getting a little extra on top of your deals. Let’s be honest, as hard as we work to stay informed and make smart decisions, we’re going to be wrong a lot. But one surefire way to boost your chances of winning is to get a little extra on any deal you can. Ready to trade for the 1.08? Why not swap your 4th for a 2nd while you’re at it?
@ChadParsonsNFL @Harahduh2 Sent Alshon, 4.01 for D Adams, 1.08 and 2016 2nd. I’m hoping Adams = Alshon in a year or two. #UTHtrades

Rookie Fever Trade of the Week
Rebuild- 1.01 for J Matt, J Landry, & C Latimer…? #UTHtrades
— Matt Ilang (@matt_ilang) April 3, 2015
I love Todd Gurley and Melvin Gordon as much as the next guy (well maybe not quite as much as the next guy) but I want the Matthews side here. In my mind Matthews is worth the 1.03 at the very worst, and Latimer and Landry are each worth a late 1st, so @matt_ilang is basically getting a couple late 1sts to move down a spot or two.
Insta-Accept
No real analysis to this one accept that this trade elicited some pretty hilarious responses and was tweeted out a couple of times. If a league-mate wants to give you a gift, it’s only polite to accept… as fast as humanly possible.
@ChadParsonsNFL @Harahduh2 someone offered me r. Cobb for lesean McCoy straight up #UTHtrades — BC Mitchell (@_Phantom_Noise_) April 8, 2015
