Dunn's trade value (1 Viewer)

What type of back would you want for him?

Could be a sell high point, but I do believe he will keep this up.

Sell high? He does this every week.
Career high in carries this week, although I do agree with you, he is a solid option each week. Can you answer my first question? What type of package are you looking for if you decided to deal him at this point. By sell high, I meant his value will probably not be higher at any point this season.

Had to start him with Portis injury this week...probably going to hang onto him right now. They are going to run the football, they're good at it...Norwood isn't eating into his load...I think he's a keeper at this point.

What are you going to get for him? Most 1st round RBs...trying to trade for them is like trying to perform root canal surgery on a polar bear while its awake...oweners take a lot of pride in their 1st round pick...they don't want to admit they messed up so they typically will not trade their top guys till they are pretty far behind for the season...just the way it is.

 
Dunn is so often undervalued I think he would need several big games for you to sell high unless you have an atl homer. Considering he gets goalline carries this year, I doubt its possible for you ro get enough value for him.

Agreed. As long as you have the both of Dunn and Norwood, I wouldn't even think about selling high on Dunn right now, unless something ridiculous came along.

Strongly disagree as Dunn's perceived value won't be any higher. Norwood looked good today. Dunn capitalized on an over pursuing defense. I'd look to move Dunn for a back that will have more TDs ops. Try the Caddy or McGahee owners.

There is no way I would trade Dunn for McGahee. I would have think about Caddy. Atlanta is a running team and Dunn will get plenty of chances. Dunn was in the game when Atlanta was at the goalline, and had got 2 carries.
 
In my 14-team ppr league, I went RB-RB-RB and took LJ, Bush, Dunn with intent to eventually trade a RB for a top WR. I meant that RB to be Dunn. But I like him so much I'm not sure I want to move him. As others have said, hes always so undervalued I'm not sure you can get value for him. But I'd be looking at moving Dunn and WR for Stud WR like Chad Johnson-Fitzergald.

Good point BnB...I would feel better if Portis would come back and start at 100%

Carolina is hard to run against, and Dunn did a great job today. I'd keep him.

Dunn had 29 carries today...Norwood had 10. Dunn on pace for 450+ carries for the season...if Atlanta was not ahead as much as they were, I think they probably don't run it as much...I'm sure someone is going to point out to the coach how many times Dunn touched the ball.

Why for god's sake can't they get Dunn a few more touches but let them be receptions. I would have felt better if it had been 21 carries and 5-6 catches...29 carries is just too much.

Carolina always has problems against shifty backs. The strength of their run defense is the defensive line as the LB corps are weak tacklers. Rucker won't be playing long if he performs like he did today. I could have rushed for 100 yards with the left side left wide open on every play. Also, Norwood look every bit as good as Dunn and you still have the Vick threat.Look, I'm not knocking Dunn and he was a great draft pick. I'm just saying that people always over rate the Carolina D v. the run and this is the perfect time to move Dunn for an upgrade.

Carolina's run D was ranked as #3 overall last year for FF. http://fantasysports.yahoo.com/analysis/ne...gue=fantasy/nflIt still seems to me that you would have trouble getting FMV for Dunn. JMO.
