Jets have a tough run defense - their front 7 is tough. Their secondary is garbage.
I don't think Williams offers enough upside with Murray taking carries to justify giving a 2nd round pick for Williams.
Regardless, I just don't see the upside to give up a 2nd. If I thought Williams offered enough upside for 2021 only and I was thin at RB, I would offer a late 2nd, but otherwise, no thanks.
Yeah that's the whole point. He's a stop gap RB that should put up nice numbers in the league's top rushing offense. Like I said, almost everyone agrees he doesn't likely have long term value.
Not so sure about the nice numbers part, or at least not consistent enough, thus the reason he isn't worth giving up a 2nd for him.
I think a 2nd for Williams is reasonable to make you more competitive this season.
Also, we shouldn’t act like Gus Edwards was some incredible talent. I liked his style and the fact he came out of nowhere but if he loses a step from the ACL tear, he’s in some trouble.Adso said:
Nah, they just aren't trying. He's been split out as a WR a lot but isn't doing anything. One target that wasn't that great, one rush attempt, and that's it. He's forgotten, even when he's the only back in the game.
Snaps split:
Don't know if I'd go that far. If one of them gets hurt, the other's workload would probably jump quite a bit. Don't think Freeman is going to take more than a handful of carries, and Bell seems to be the forgotten man.
This backfield is a dumpster fire. They're just going to let Lamar drop back and rifle some balls to his middling WR's - ignore the running game completely. I wish I had sold low on Ty'Son Williams when I picked him up, but... now I'm stuck with him. Murray sucks. If you are holding onto Murray to replace Ty'Son Williams (in the event of injury)... I hope you are in a 30 team league. Give Murray the 5 carries Williams to go with his 7 carries - 12 x 4ypc - 48 yards?
Lamar will always command a lot of carries, but in the first two games, the RBs had about 20-25 carries. I would think that would be the norm rather than the 12 yesterday for a run-heavy team. Volume is king and either could be very valuable if the other went down, especially in this vast RB landscape of shared backfields.
Made this same mistake. Matchups seemed to make sense, Hunt being the backup etc. Luckily didn’t cost me a win (played the low scoring team this week) but wasn’t smart.
I dropped Murray in a 12-teamer (what upside is this) as I had good depth at RB, and only one guy bid at $33, bid against himself lol
Same here, started him over Hunt. It may get me axed in a guillotine league. There are 6 teams below me but they all have players tonight while I've shot my load already. My fingers are crossed while I kick myself in the A##
Be that as it may, his sell high window closed after this stinker.
Tough to say, I held longer than I should have but I shopped and nobody was biting "high" - if he ever finds himself on the receiving end of 15+ carries and any amount of goal line work... his sell high will be better than it has ever been.
I dunno about that. As a CMC owner I managed to deal him to the Chubba Hubbard owner & that worked out pretty well since CMC got hurt & now I have a starting RB.
I get what you are saying and it worked out, but what if Hubbard doesn't pan out? What if week 2, week 3 were the start of a run for Ty'Son Williams. Regardless, it is a game of chance and I was willing to risk Williams would feast amongst that graveyard of washed up bums - so far not so good, but you gotta think Harbaugh sees it eventually.
All trades carry risk, of course.
You're right - but I wasn't targeting a potential bandage with an unknown player... I was hoping for a big week from a guy that cost me nothing to turn into a season-long upgrade.
don't get me wrong - I still think Murray is the better bet to carve out a significant role
