Dynasty Trade Diary – I Traded Justin Herbert and Rebuilt a Roster

Entry No. 1

League: The Bourgeoisie Dynasty League (Scott Barrett Charity Invitational)

Format: Superflex, TE Premium scoring

Lineups: Start 10 (1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 SF, 3 Flex)

Notable Assets (Pre-Trade)

QB – Kyler Murray, Justin Herbert

RB – D’Andre Swift

WR – Deebo Samuel, D.J. Moore, Michael Thomas, Will Fuller

TE – Pat Freiermuth

2022 Rookie Picks – 1.10, 2.12

Roster Notes

This is easily the worst team in my dynasty portfolio of 16 squads.

In the 2020 startup I selected Kyler Murray and Justin Herbert, but was unable to convert my concentration of elite QB talent into a deep playoff run in either of the league’s first two seasons. Critical injuries at wide receiver (Michael Thomas, Will Fuller) and lack of a viable RB2 have hampered the squad.

While I own a full rookie pick set for 2022, neither the round one or two picks are my own as they were acquired in prior trades.

Considering the key assets on-hand, the clear move was to shop one of my quarterbacks to upgrade the rest of my roster. What kind of return can an elite quarterback like Murray or Herbert bring?
