The 250 forward list has PH as RB7; do y'all feel that's an accurate prediction? I'm not crazy about his schedule, but he'll be my 4th RB in a start 2RBs/1flex, so it's not like he has to play every week. Thinking of trading Best or SJax for him, though not quite straight-up.

Edit: I put in alot of personal info, but this is meant as a Hillis thread, not a 'should I/shouldn't I' thread.

 
RB 4-5 would be about right if he were a pure runner with his upcoming schedule.

However, he's a PPR RB and if you look at the #'s he put up vs teams like Bal, Pit, Cincy.....3 of his toughest opponents all year, you'll find he's still an RB3 at the least, with RB 2 upside, thanks to his pass catching ability and the Browns QBs propensity to check-down.

 
He's #3 RB in our league past four weeks. I see nothing to think that it should change. McCoy will guarantee PPR success, until he gets hurt.

 
I know he won't stay a top 5, or even a top 10 back, but I can't get ANY trade value for this guy. Very under rated. Is it the injury risk? Because he has done well against the top defenses so far. I am inclined to ride this train as long as I can if I can't trade him for the lint in someones pockets.

 
:lmao: at people who keep underrating him. What more do you want?

Stud Oline- check

No competition for carries- check

Gets plenty of receptions- check

Gets goalline carries- check

He just put up a respectable stat line vs the Steelers and is basically matchup proof. I dont know where Id rank him but hes definitely an RB1.

Same here from the trade front. I'll probably wait until after week 8 (his bye) and then try trading off Charles-who holds more value in that league. (I've already turned down a few good offers for him). I can see riding him to the end of the line. With his O-line and QB situation he IS the offense.
 
I've put him up on the trade block for the past 3 weeks (10 team PPR dynasty league) requesting a WR in trade but I haven't received any offers. Our league doesn't do much trading though. I'll continue to start him on a weekly basis until he gives me a reason not to.

 
We are 6 weeks in to the season. Last year doesn't matter. FFL draft position doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is current situation.

I can't see for the life of me how he can't be considered a RB1 in PPR. With Harrison gone it's nearly a perfect situation. Probably one of about 6 three down backs.

 
He is at least a RB2 in almost any league. If he's your RB3 you have a luxury. If he's you RB4 you should defiantly trade him.

Why can't people see the obvious? He's not going ANYWHERE because I'm not trading him.
 
He's my top RB/WR/TE option :goodposting:

Followed closely by Zach Miller and Johnny Knox.

Same here. He's been great for all the reasons mentioned in this thread, but nobody will trade for him. His trade value is FAR below his actual performance this year. (Now, why all his owners are trying to trade him, is another conversation (Yes, I am one.)) I think it's because of two big things and one minor one:1. Plays on a "bad" team

2. He's not a "big" name

3. He's white (this was just mentioned above) - which essentially translates into big/slow, etc... (No offense meant to anyone. I wouldn't say this is a big factor, but the perception is there (whether right or wrong.))

I would say he gets shopped because:

1) he was a waiver add for many

2) he's unproven over the long haul

3) his running style makes him an injury risk.

Race has little if anything to do with it, IMO.

Personally, I'm all in until he drops.

Now, if the worst were to happen, who do you think Cleveland would turn to?

Mike Bell, who's never impressed me at all?

James Davis, who the coaches don't seem to trust?

Is there any possibility it might be current practice squad player Martell Mallet, a former CFL star?

I assume Bell would get first crack, but I also think he'd fail, so Mallet is interesting to me.

 
14 team ppr, I shipped him for probably a 1.4 to 1.7 pick in next years rookie draft. He seems like a good player, but he runs like Barber did and seems to pick up a few dings here and there. I thought 1.4 to 1.7 for a waiver wire pickup was good value.
