Brandon Jackson trade value (1 Viewer)

P

I am not very high on Bjak at all. I did take him with my #1 waiver priority because his perceived value is so hi right now and no one really knows what he will produce this year. If it was 90% of other RBs in the league, i'd be very excited about his opportunity. Granted i've only watched him really play in his last game, but i was NOT impressed. I play in a PPR keeper league, and am thinking i can get something of value for him NOW before his perceived value collapses (or, to be fair, goes even higher).

Would anyone in their right mind trade me CJ Spiller for him? What about Bowe+Bjak for Arian Foster? Not likely right, lol. I got Foster in my other main league, but he was taken before my 36th-37th picks in my keeper/dynasty PPR league. I'm looking for what people believe Bjak's value to be.

I'm thinking of making a Spiller or Jerome Harrison trade offer for Bjak. I wonder if other owners would look down on this since i just picked him up today off the Waivers? I know in baseball/basketball, if you just pick someone up and attempt to trade him for talent it's looked on in bad taste.

Just got Jennings and Garcon for him and McFadden. Hope that helps.

You just got Jennings from Green Bay plus Garcon for Mcfadden/Bjak? That's a great trade for you. Jennings is a top WR this year, and MCfadden is talented but just not suited for NFL play in my opinion. Great trade.
 
The worst record in your H2H fantasy league is 0-1 and Jackson is still an unknown commodity. I would guess his value for prospective owners will go up from here if you wait out the opposition and let them get a little more desperate. The Pack's next three opponents are Buffalo, @Chicago and Detroit. I say let them suffer a bit.

From a talent perspective I would take Spiller over Jackson hands down but at the point the opportunity and situation tips the scale heavily towards Jackson. I'd rather have a 3 down back like Jackson on probably the best passing team in the league than a guy like Spiller who will be part of a committee on probably the worst passing offense in the league and miserable offensive line.I think people are forgetting that Ryan Grant is a good RB, but not a great RB. He's a mediocre talent that does all of the intangibles right. Even if you don't think Jackson is the most talented back in the world, his situation will allow him to produce above his talent level. There's even potential for him to out produce Ryan Grant, which I think is a high possibility.On another note, I'd def consider a bowe and bjax trade to upgrade at RB, if you could, but I'd wait until Jackson tears it up this week so you can potentially get more value for him. At this point we don't really know and you could be selling low on him with the majority of his value coming from the hype. You could have a stud on your hands, I'd give him a chance to produce.
 
The Grant owner offered me MSW for Jackson. seems like a fair deal but i just dont need another WR. i countered with Jackson/zach miller for Gates, we'll see...

All these Bjax threads are starting to piss me off.

Really. The guy obviously has the confidence of his team. Are they going to bring in some iinsurance to back him up...sure. Will they bring someody in the challange him for the starting job? NO WAY.

He is THE man....for now. It is quite an unknown quantity right now.

I picked him up very late in my draft, knowing that he was one of 2 RBs on the team. Now, I have a bonifide number 1 with unknown upside. If he goes off this week, the value will go through the roof.

If I don't own him, I am not paying through the nose for him, but to have a RB1 fall into my lap is a pretty nice thing.

Everyone just take a breath

 
I picked him off waivers a couple months ago in a couple of my dynasty leagues. No offer for him in either. He is in my starting lineup this week in both leagues. :thumbup:

Remember though that i'm in a keeper league so a trade of Bjak for Spiller would not necessarily be for this year, but for the future. I hear you on the value of Bjak vs Spiller this year. Perhaps Bjak will produce more (PERHAPS!), but in a keeper league i think the value is on the Spiller side by a pretty wide margin.Regarding the last part of your post, i think you may be right because as another poster commented, Green Bay is going to be playing some bad defenses in the near future. If i can get a steal of a deal, i will make it, but if that doesn't happen, i'll probably just hold off on any trade. Of course i'm worried about Bjak sucking it up and his value collapsing as well.
 
Was offered Mike Williams TB ®

I countered asking him to tack on a later first round rookie pick.

Jackson is going to be an RB2 with upside. And he's not old. Still 24...

Dynasty? I would take Williams for him in a heartbeat.

Williams is an unproven commodity, still riding the pre-season hype. Brandon Jackson is a starting RB in a top 5 offense. And with 3 juicy games coming up.

Brandon Jackson has failed at the pro level for several years. Now he has some value for sure because he's getting a shot at starting, a job he couldn't win prior to an injury to the lead back, but I vehemently disagree that he is worth Mike Williams in any dynasty format. I think you're crazy asking for Mike Williams and a 1st rounder, I would be insulted.

You shouldn't be insulted over trade proposals...Neither player has proven they can do the job, but one is a RB, is on a strong offense, and is guaranteed touches.This could be prime-time for the kid. And with a few good years left. He wouldn't be the first RB that didn't catch on till later in his career

Jackson is nowhere the talent Best is and Chicago did well. Detroit Dline is great. I think your counting your chickens before they hatch.

He has the confidence of the team to be the backup, not the starter. There's a reason why an undrafted Ryan Grant became the starter and not him. With RB's like Lynch available for next to nothing I don't see any reason why the Packers wouldn't want to bring someone in to at least compete with Jackson for the starting job.
 
I'm not very high on Bjak either...however, let's not understate his value or situation. Someone said Bjak has been a failure for years, another said that it wouldn't be the first time a back is breaking out "later in his career." Well, lets make sure everyone knows that Bjak is not late in his career and the insinuation that he has been a failure for a long time is incorrect. Bjak was drafted in 2007, he was born Oct of 1985. Just for comparison, the young stud Chris Johnson Sept. 23rd 1985 --Chris Johnson is actually 10 days or so OLDER than Brandon Jackson. Ryan Mathews is 1.5 years or so younger than Jackson, Adrian Peterson is a 4-5 months OLDER than Brandon Jackson, Arian Foster who is just breaking out is only 8 months or so younger than Jackson.

My point is that this isn't some washed up old dude who has had his chance and failed over and over. This is a YOUNG kid who was a 2nd round draft pick in 2007. Also, the Packers came into the season with only 2 RBs on the roster, cutting other RBs. What does this tell us? Green Bay is obviously perfectly confident in Brandon Jackson, or else they would have had another backup RB at least.

So let's not go overboard, but let's not underestimate this kid either. In the NFL, a lot of times it just comes to opportunity. This kid is getting his opportunity. He has had 3 years or so in this offense to hone is skills, to understand what is expected of him. He may succeed.

 
Foster was an UDFA , jackson was a 2nd rounder. Not saying foster is not for real but opportunity and situation is all it takes a lot of the time. Here it is. I'm happy to have him vs BUF.

 
Blew my entire waiver budget on him this week, but my team sucks and I desperately needed another starting RB in my deep dynasty.

I also did so, though, for the possibility he goes off in the next week or three and then his trade value goes nuts. I'm not all that impressed with the guy, and I'm pretty sure the Pack brings in someone else to compete with him.

An owner in my 16 team redraft league picked up Jackson last night, then today traded Jackson and Mike Wallace to the team that had Ryan Grant in exchange for Andre Johnson. :lmao:

(I am not involved in the deal.)

The no name RB the Packers got from Atlanta is not the last running back Green Bay will acquire, that I am sure of. There is still a real chance the Pack might trade for a guy like Lynch who could overtake Jackson on the depth chart despite what the Bills might say publicly about his availability. If they do get Lynch he may eventually become their starter and Jackson's value would immediately plummet.

It could be very possible that Brandon Jackson's value will never be higher than it is now. Then again as it stands now he is in a great situation and he has an oppurtunity where if he does well he could post numbers at or above Grant's projected levels. The key part of that last sentence though is "as it stands now". There is no way to know for sure how confident the Pack really are in Jackson as a feature back. Maybe they don't know yet either. If he struggles they might very well bring in someone else who could immeditely surpass Jackson on the depth chart.

Turned it down as I don't have any need for Johnson (only start 2 WRs and I have Boldin and Moss and Garcon and Mike Williams (TB)).

 
I gave

Mendenhall, Rashard PIT RB

Holmes, Santonio NYJ WR

Moss, Santana WAS WR

I got

Cutler, Jay CHI QB

Grant, Ryan GBP RB

Basically Johnson for Jackson... Which sounds ridiculous to turn down. But after the season is over we might look at that differently. Jackson could outscore Johnson...

A few weeks ago I got Boldin and Portis for Floyd and Moreno...so using basic math, one could argue thatKnowshon = Jackson.Honestly, it sounds about right.

I don't need Johnson. Id rather have the depth at RB since Best is my #3.Also, I play that owner this week and no way do I give him Jackson (who I plan to start against Buffalo) to play against me.If he had a QB I would go for it (Kolb and Favre are my QBs) or work something out for a TE (relying on Owen Daniels).But so far, nothing from him other than that offer.

Fixed ('all mentions of Finley shall be in bold and a minimum font size of 4') :) I had a trade offer that I figure was for BJax in my TD-only league (I have #1 waiver this week).

He wanted me to give up the #1 waiver and Nicks in exchange for Boldin and the #3 waiver.

I said :popcorn:
