The season is flying by as we come up to the halfway point of the 2024 campaign. The standings have tightened up as half the teams have a 3-3 record after 6 weeks. Mel Kiper's BA leads the Patrick Division with a 5-1 record while The Ghostbusters lead the Adams with an identical 5-1 mark. Stick Rock is only 2-4, but they are leading the points standings by a whopping 163 points over the next closest wild card team! With a few moves, most of the league could improve their playoff odds before time runs out. Since there has been a dearth of trades so far this season, I have come up with a potential proposal for each team that would improve their rosters for a playoff run or put them in better position for the 2025 season.

 

Mel Kiper's BA - They are currently humming on all cylinders, but they still have some areas that can be improved. The RB depth is there, but with the implosion of the Dolphins offense there is no clear-cut #1 back. Maybe trade some depth for a proven RB that could carry the RB1 load?

​

MKBA trades: Brian Thomas Jr and Tony Pollard to 69 Olds for Kenneth Walker III. This would give Peter a more reliable RB option. Ray would get some much needed team depth.

​

Ghostbusters - All the pieces feel like they are in place, but a little more stability is needed at the RB2 spot. Breece Hall has been mostly good but the Jets Offense is a mess. 

​

Ghostbusters trades: Breece Hall, Rico Dowdle, Devonta Smith to Dark Helmet for Saquon Barkley and Michael Pittman.

​

Stick Rock - The RB and WR play has been stellar, but the QB position could be improved. 

​

​Stick Rock trades: Geno Smith, Alvin Kamara and Garrett Wilson to '69 Olds for Jalen Hurts and Kenneth Walker III.

​

Peeping Tomlins - Jared has a ton of WRs and his roster is also top-heavy with Pittsburgh Steelers. They could trade injured Nico Collins to a non-contender get help now. 

​

Peeping Tomlins trades: Nico Collins and Najee Harris to MFT for James Conner and Rome Odunze.

​

Dark Helmet - Dan hasn't been showing much interest in this fantasy football team, so any proposal will need to get his attention.

​

Dark Helmet trades: RB D'Andre Swift to anyone who gives him a 30-pack of Miller Lite.

​

Springfield Flanders - Glenn is dying for a TE. Through 6 weeks he is getting an average of 4.1 points per game. That is the lowest performing slot in any lineup in our league including Defenses and Kickers!

​

Flanders trades: Travis Etienne and Terry McLauren to Skoal Bandits for Evan Engram and Brandon Aiyuk.

​

Wrath of Khan - Jimmy already took one swing giving up a lot of trade capital, but he could still use some help at QB. 

​

Khan trades: Kirk Cousins and Jameson Williams to Skoal Bandits for Baker Mayfield. 

​

​Skoal Bandits - Since it makes so much sense, I am saying it again. The proposal I have for Flanders needs to get made. To add some variety, I'll change some of the players, but the positional swaps remain the same:

​

Bandits trade: Tucker Kraft and Brando Aiyuk to Flanders for Amari Cooper and Braelon Allen.

​

Milford Football Team - MFT is currently four games back and -174 points fro a playoff spot. It might be time to start acquiring assets for next year. 

​

MFT Trades: Davante Adams, Kareem Hunt  and Rome Odunze to Wrath of Khan for Tyreke Hill and Diontae Johnson.

​

'69 Olds - Another team that is a distant -180 points back in the standings might want to look towards next year. I don't think Patrick Mahomes is a keeper, but he could help someone win a championship this year. 

​

'69 Olds trades: Patrick Mahomes and DK Metcalf to Stick Rock for Malik Nabers.

​

After going back and re-reading all these trade proposals, I don't like them nearly as much as when I was putting them together. However, at the very least these could be used as trade starters for anyone who is looking to make a move. Use this to get an idea of what type of players other teams might need and what it would take to get the players you covet. Now on to our rankings.
