In re-draft leagues, odds are that your league’s trade deadline has already passed, but in dynasty and keeper leagues, most trade deadlines are later in the year. I’m a big proponent of this, as it allows bottom-dwelling teams to sell of their top talent to playoff contenders in exchange for high-upside keepers or future draft picks, similar to the MLB trade deadline.

Throughout the 2012 offseason, we will be taking a look at each NFL team from a keeper/dynasty perspective. Keeper leagues are very unique, with widely varying formats, but the following are observations based on reasonable draft positions in 2011. Further discussion of different keeper/dynasty decisions and trades is welcome in the comments below.

Dynasty rankings are looking forward and reflect how I think a player will perform for the next 3-5 years. Age is a major factor in these rankings.
1. Chris Johnson (9/23/85)
2. Arian Foster (8/24/86)
3. Jamaal Charles (12/27/86)
4. Lesean McCoy (7/12/88)
5. Ray Rice (1/22/87)
6. Adrian Peterson (3/21/85)
7. Maurice Jones-Drew (3/23/85)
8. Darren McFadden (8/27/87)
9. Rashard Mendenhall (6/19/87)
10. Mark Ingram (12/21/89)
There’s not much difference between the top 6 running backs. You can make a case for anybody in the top 6 to be the #1 pick but I like to go with the sure thing when I’m drafting that high. I need to see one more year out of Foster before I move him to the #1 spot. I love Charles and McCoy in PPR leagues and they will put up Brian Westbrook type numbers for the next 5 years. The only question mark I have about them is if they can handle the workload. Rice is a very safe pick after the top 4 and his value will increase if he is able to land the goal line work. I’m not as high on AP as most people are. He has a ton of wear and tear on his legs dating back to college and his running style leaves him susceptible to big hits. MJD is only 26 and doesn’t have the usual amount of wear and tear as most running backs his age. McFadden is risky due to his injury history but he has all the talent to be a top 5 RB for the next 5 years. I would wait until the 2nd round to take him though. Mendenhall is a workhorse and is in a great situation in Pittsburgh. He just needs to put a muzzle on his twitter account. Ingram landed in the perfect situation in New Orleans and will be a lock for double digit TD’s in the Saints high powered offense.

Round One
1. AJ Green (WR) Bengals
If you need RB help I wouldn’t fault anybody for taking Ingram #1 but talents like this don’t come around everyday. There will be plenty of Ingram type RB’s out there in the future. Green has the potential to be great and he could be good right away. I’ve always believed that it’s much harder to find stud WR’s than RB’s. The drafting of Green finally signals the end to the Ochocinco era in Cincy and Green will open the season as the #1 WR. The Bengals drafted Andy Dalton and I don’t imagine Carson Palmer being back after threatening to retire. Regardless of the QB situation, Green will contribute immediately.

The Dynasty Blitz analyzes trends and situations to find future fantasy production before your league mates.
In this episode, I will be discussing the Oakland Raider’s passing game, save for Zach Miller, as Zach is the constant in an ever-changing offensive lineup. We can always call the Oakland offense very offensive, unfortunately that is ironical with the Raiders. Everyone knows about their running game with Darren McFadden and Mike Bush, but what the Raiders will need is a balanced offense.
