I'll happily take 109 yards and a TD.Not otherworldly today but still my best option (Hill and Lacy).
PPR? Can you start Grok at WR?It's a deep roster. 3 keepers, of which I'll have Amari Cooper in addition to the other 2 based on the trade or lack thereof. To fill 3 WR / 2 RB / 2 flexWhat are your roster requirements?I've been offered Diggs and Le'Veon for Gurley in a keeper league. (I'm out of the race this year.)
Le'Veon and Gurley are effectively equal in cost to keep. Diggs would be replacing either Jeremy Hill or Willie Snead (not sure which one yet, depends on the rest of the season) as a keeper.
Worth it? I'm currently inclined to hold on to Gurley vs. take on Le'Veon's risk while trading 1 4-game sample (Gurley) for another one that seems less reliable (Diggs) given his QB and the question of how defenses will adjust. But trying to see if I'm crazy for passing this up..
0.5 PPR. We also start a TE/QB/K/DEF/etc. Didn't feel it necessary to call that out. So no, TE's can't play WR...doesn't seem relevant though.PPR?

Congrats to you.Im the guy he traded Gurley to.
Well he was 0-13 last year... No lie lolCongrats to you.Im the guy he traded Gurley to.
From reading numb's posts, he'd probably give you Antonio Brown back if you offered James Hanna.
Damn...had to go there???Well he was 0-13 last year... No lie lolCongrats to you.Im the guy he traded Gurley to.

Punters are hard to trade for in his league! Duh?!?!I find it hard to inderstand how a team rebuilding gives away a RB who is arguably already the best in the NFL at 21 years old.

I can understand that thinking.I find it hard to inderstand how a team rebuilding gives away a RB who is arguably already the best in the NFL at 21 years old.
Who did you take in the 2010 rookie draft over Antonio Brown?There are no weak draft classes, just weak drafters.
I only had 3 picks that yearWho did you take in the 2010 rookie draft over Antonio Brown?There are no weak draft classes, just weak drafters.
Shelf Life (in dynasty).I find it hard to inderstand how a team rebuilding gives away a RB who is arguably already the best in the NFL at 21 years old.
Shelf life matters but most anyone will tell you to think 3 years out in dynasty, at most 5. Gurley is 21. Even if we stretch the window to 5 years he's only 26 which is still prime. Hell, you'd still have even 2 more years of prime remaining. I don't see the shelf life argument mattering here. Even if you subscribe to it, the positional scarcity has to severely outweigh it IMO.Shelf Life (in dynasty).I love Gurley as much as anybody. I think he is flat out awesome. But, in dynasty, give me a stud WR any day. With the injuries that eventually come to ALL rbs (name one great Rb that hasn't had a decent injury in the past 2-3 seasons), it's a no-brainer to me.I find it hard to inderstand how a team rebuilding gives away a RB who is arguably already the best in the NFL at 21 years old.
Say you drafted Larry Fitzgerald back in 2004. You still got him and he's been great his entire career except the years he had wasteland QBs. Even then, he always had AT LEAST flex value. Look at the guys that were taken ahead of him. SJAX (great but often injured and hasn't been a factor for three years), Kevin and Julius Jones (each lasted about 15 minutes).
To be fair, if Gurley is Adrian Peterson or LT all over again, then its a different story but in today's NFL with so much emphasis on the pass, it's a push at best for the RB. If you have Deandre Hopkins or Allen Robinson right now (guys that were in the middle of the top tier but not considered the best at their position in terms of best Wrs their years), you are still light years ahead of EVERY RB that has come out in the past 5 years.

Stop trying to make me feel better after ripping me off!!I made the trade for Gurley and im actually surprised by the "outrage" over this trade. Antonio was the #1 non QB last season and currently #2 this season even without Ben. I get that its harder to find good RBs but we only have to start 1, whereas we're forced to start 3 WRs. Ive got a pretty good nose for value and, in this particular league, this trade is about as even as it gets.
It's beginning to look like he might be TD dependent the rest of the season. This offense is a joke other than him. The QB play is probably the worst in the NFL, the oline is barely serviceable and opposing teams are selling out to stop him on the ground. He can still break free for a long run here and there, but all in all its going to be tough sledding on the ground.Yards will just not be easy to come by with this disgusting QB situation.
So...it's like SJAX all over again?It's beginning to look like he might be TD dependent the rest of the season. This offense is a joke other than him.

The last two weeks have felt a lot like that. At least Gurley's scoring TDs but the high ceiling he was carrying has been hit hard.So...it's like SJAX all over again?It's beginning to look like he might be TD dependent the rest of the season.

Looks like that wasn't his floor, unfortunately. At least they swindled the Eagles for a 2nd rounder, that will help get them a QB hopefully.The o-line has taken some big hits as well. But if this is his floor, sign me up..
They could end up with a top 5 pick at this point. In that case, draft a QB in the 1st, a WR & Oline in the 2nd.Looks like that wasn't his floor, unfortunately.

I'm hoping this kid isn't big play dependent.
But other than that, things are peachy!Bad QB, bad o-line, bad WR's, bad head coach, bad o-cordinator, bad owner
Disagree about the coach. Fisher is really good. The only reason you guys have gurley or any shred of optimism is the result of him being there.Bad QB, bad o-line, bad WR's, bad head coach, bad o-cordinator, bad owner

Think I have to disagree with "really good" as a way to describe Fisher. He's getting humiliated almost on a weekly basis at this point, he has to take some of the blame here.Disagree about the coach. Fisher is really good.
