Carrying BOTH Zeke and Gordon in dynasty (1 Viewer)

[nirad3]

I joined a higher-stakes dynasty league several years ago after a few owners bolted.  The commissioner waived the entry fee for my first season and I haven't paid an entry fee since... because I nailed the dispersal draft (got Zeke at 1.01, Hopkins, Kuechly, etc.) and have made some wise decisions in terms of free agency and trades the past couple of years.  That being said, I've always operated pretty thin, without much depth.  Lost the likes of Lynch this season.

I obviously still have Zeke, and traded for Gordon last season.  My team is still stacked (but without depth...see below), but I'm really fearful that I will not have a viable RB going into the season and thus in jeopardy of losing some games early in the season and not being able to rebound.

So, question is... do I shop Zeke?  I've already shopped Gordon (offering him to the Montgomery owner, for example).  Do I cross my fingers and hope that one (or both) signs in the next week?

QB - Rodgers

RB - Zeke, Gordon, Riddick, Dwayne Washington, Burkhead (start 1-3)

WR - Hopkins, Diggs, Woods, Jaron Brown, Snead (start 2-4)

TE (1.5 PPR) - Kelce, Olsen, James (start 1-3)

LB - Kuechly, Warner, Van Noy

DL - Campbell, Willis

DB - Collins, Eddie Jackson

Again - question is... stand by and hope Zeke (and/or Gordon) signs)?  Shuffle things around?  

Thanks for your thoughts...

It's always a good idea to stay flexible and offering up Zeke and Gordon to see what people may be willing to give up is a good idea.  I wouldn't give away either of them but if you can get 90 cents on the dollar or 80 cents if its the right pieces I wouldn't have any issue in pulling the trigger.

I would shop around for cheap RB depth. Jalen Richard, Peyton Barber, Dion Lewis, Chris Thompson, LeSean McCoy, maybe even someone like Mike Davis or Frank Gore. You could probably get someone like that for a 3rd or 4th rounder - probably at least one of those guys is on the roster of an owner who doesn't expect to ever start him again.

Or aim a little higher, see what a vet like Ingram would cost, or some RB who you think is undervalued like Breida or whoever. Try to find a trade offer that is pretty close to what you'd take if you weren't desperate for an RB.

I'm actually in talks right now with a rebuilding owner who has both Thompson and Barber.  Trying to get both on the cheap.

Thanks for the reply.
