CMC trade value? (2 Viewers)

[brian98]

What we know:

officially on IR
so this means mandatory 4 weeks on shelf, but could it be more? If the 9ers are 6-0 or even 4-2, do they continue to sit him? Or worse for fantasy: they play him, but only give him 12-15 touches a game?

Mason looked strong (against Jets of all dst)
this also factors into usage when/if CMC gets back. 1 is the worst sample size, but boy did he look good.

In my league, the CMC owner lost week one, and is heavy underdog in week two. Although I am nervous about the unknown with CMC, I'm thinking strike while the iron is hot, right? I was thinking of offering Brian Robinson Jr (who is currently on my bench) straight up. I also have similarly valued WR's I could do instead.

Is this appropriate value for half a season of question marks?

Make the offer. The worst that happens is he counters for one of your starters. He will most likely reject it but ya never know.

Thanks for the input. What I am hearing from you is that Robinson may not be enough value. Which, put another way: I am not overspending if I offer and he accepts

Correct.

I don't think it is an overspend however I doubt the guy does that at this time. I think the right price will be solely dependent upon the guy with CMC. Some will just ride it out because of the potential and others will try and get out from under that as soon as they can.

Unfortunately the guy with CMC may also be in the Mixon, Kupp, Pacheco injury train as well at this point which may also complicate things. It really is an interesting dilemma at this point and I don't think there is a right or wrong answer.

I am in the CMC / Pacheco injury boat. Do folks think trading CMC for ETN would be a wise move? Running out of RBs and the waiver wire has essentially been picked clean already.

I lost Kupp and Pacheco (2nd and 3rd round picks). Luckily I have Barkley and not CMC.

As far as CMC for ETN? I don't like it but I am not an ETN fan. My approach would be to look at all the rosters and find a team that has a surplus of RB's so they might be willing to take on CMC and his risk because they have RB depth they can move for the upside that CMC provides.

Taking the approach of looking for a specific RB will be tough because a team has to have the depth to absorb the missing time of CMC. Going to the Mason owner is another good target to get one of his other RB's because he now has a top RB that he didn't pay top draft price for him so someone else can now be expendable

I only brought up ETN because the guy that has him offered him as part of a trade. He wanted CMC and Pacheco for ETN and Elliott, which clearly didn't make any sense. I thought CMC for ETN was a lot more even.

The issue for the league in general is we can start 3 RB, so no team really has a surplus of RB. The team with Mason went Zero RB, so that owner was thrilled to get first round production from a late round pick. Most teams carry 6 RB, meaning that there are 70-75 RBs already rostered. Targeting a team with "Surplus RBs" pretty much means guys tryng to go after a player not in the Top 50 RBs.

I have Robinson (WAS), but still need to find another guy to start. Other in house options are McLaughlin, Wright, and Davis. Guys on the wire are the 3 KC guys (Perine, Steele, Hunt), Braelon Allen, Miles Sanders, or Antonio Gibson. Other owners have better waiver claims and have stated they are going after the KC guys. Don't have a great plan at the moment.

I would go after Allen then. He has the upside and seems to be getting some touches even with Hall there.

I would take ETN for CMC in your case, Anarchy. Straight up, as you said. My biggest fear with CMC is that even when he comes back they will baby him with extremely limited touches because you "never know when something like this will flare up" (dont remember if that was Shanihan or CMC that said that) Bottom line for me is that if you can get someone that will we a weekly starter all year for you, which I assume ETN would be, then take it

ETN owner turned down a straight up CMC trade. Most trade talk has involved backups or part time backs . . . no one wants to part with a Top 30 RB.

Ended up picking up Allgier and Gibson off waivers. The KC backs all got claimed, as was Allen before I could take any of them. Hoping to be able to ride out CMC and Pacheco injuries by finding someone with 10 touches or a decent shot at a TD each week. That or an injury to a starter so my upside depth backs could become viable starters.

If you can tread water for a week or two, the value for CMAC will only increase.

They way to always look at these guys if it’s not keeper is if you have ANY chance to make playoff run. If you do you must hold on and o them. If you don’t use their name to try and get something. The longer you can wait the better chance you have to get a good return.
