This can be explained even simpler:. The Patriots are ALWAYS about matchups and right now there matchup that favors them is 10 personnel.. that means no TE and 4 wrs which hurts the running game and leverages their incredible we corps. They will ride that until the wheels fall off.
Cooks was drafted much higher than Robinson in my league, but I would rather have Robinson.
As a recent owner of both, I'd say the idea of Cooks is better than the reality. Week to week you almost never feel confident starting him, no matter what his full season numbers end up being. At least Robinson is the #1 target in his offense, as bad as that offense is right now. Cooks living off name recognition right now as far as dynasty value goes - if I had him, I'd be trying to sell.
Wait, SayWhat? When comparing Brandin Cooks to Allen Robinson, you're describing Brandin Cooks and NOT ALLEN ROBINSON(?!) as the WR where the "idea is better than the reality, where week to you never feel confident starting him no matter his season ending numbers, and that he is the one living off name recognition?" What kind of bizzaro world are we living in?
All great points. I've been envying Fitz owners the past few weeks. He has four catches of over forty yards, almost already the most in his career. He's got his quarterback besides Warner and Palmer, finally.
Disagree- I think Freeman ROS is a bad gambit. The timeshare between him and Ito is real, and neither is getting the touches in the right scenarios to merit buying at this time. Maybe I'll eat my words, but I don't see Freeman putting up a full season of starting RB numbers.
Fournette has looked every bit as bad as Freeman. They've probably been the 2 worst RB's in the NFL so far, on a per touch basis.
I think anything you can get for Alshon is a sell high. You absolutely robbed him. As an owner in one redraft league I swap him straight up for either of those guys I think.
Well I was on the receiving end of that Alshon deal. So maybe I was the one that got robbed. After watching him game 1 I like his involvement when healthy, and this move allowed me to grab a running back off the wire for depth.
Yeah you got robbed. I like either of Gallup OR Metcalf better than Jeffrey ROS. Both . . .
If you believe in him go for it. I'm guessing final points for him and DK will be similar giving a slight edge to DK. DeSean does actually help Alshon I think though so he needs him back.
If he's healthy, he'll be very much involved in a high powered offense. Hopefully Jackson stays healthy as well since I think he positively affects Alshon.
If Gallup is out 4 weeks he’d likely have to get dropped off my short bench league anyways.
What are you selling him for though? He's almost certainly your TE1.
I'd probably go after Kelce and add to the package but I'm not sure what? Ridley?
Engram and Ridley isn't going to be enough to get Kelce. At least I would turn down that trade.
I see no reason to sell high. Frankly, other than Kelce, I'm not sure there is a TE I'd rather have. He's firmly in tier 2 with Ertz and Kittle for me. I think its more likely that Tate takes from Shepard than Engram.
Cohen owner here, makes me feel better he can still fill bye weeks that will be coming up. If MT is running the offense better then the skill position guys will also see an uptick.
The Bears want to run the ball and play defense. Their D is good. They traded up for Montgomery since CHI thought he could be a workhorse.
You mIght be right. I won’t argue that. And I’m no Trubisky defender.
This is not actionable advice for most fantasy owners because players are locked for the week as soon as their game kicks off. You would have to be rostering a free agent (Antonio Brown?) or someone on the Bears or Redskins in most league management software. Yahoo, of course, is the exception to this.
I don't see why his targets will ever drop that much. He's clearly the option 1A or 1B with Tyrell in the OAK offense. OAK should have a lot of good game scripts, where Carr needs to sling it in the 2nd half when OAK is trailing. He may not score many TDs, but Waller looks to have a great high floor.
Not so sure. That passing game is so hard to predict. It could be Woods or Cooks with 2 tds next game and Kupp with none. Tate is obviously worthless, so you'd be taking a big gamble on Gordon coming back if you made that deal. Id' more likely try to sell Kupp+a different RB for D-hop straight up
Exactly right. Its why I own Waller everywhere. Cooks targets in 2018 (101, 5th in NFL) and the fact that Waller is way more a giant WR (Georgia Tech no less) than a TE. Cook had only five games with seven or more targets last year, Waller is 3-for-3 so far this year.
I completely agree. Trading Engram for Kelce seems like trying to move Lamar for Mahomes. Sure one is better, but I don't think the difference is enough to trade for.
I think he is a top 6 TE all year. Carr loves short passes and there's not much else on the team. Their D doesn't appear good enough to allow the Raiders to be run-centric either.
