I think Kizer should be rostered in leagues with 24+ roster spots. He was thrown out there too soon, but could get another chance.
I ended up moving T. Coleman and change (Fleener, Ekeler, 4th) for him in a pretty standard 12 Tm PPR league. It felt about fair to me.
I think you try to trading a guy lik Eifert for a draft pick, opening up a roster spot and pick up Kizer. Do you need more than Kelce and Engram?
That was my gut instinct as well.. other guys has Hunt, Gurley, and Gordon so he is loaded at RB but only WR is OBJ so I will hold out for 1 of those 3 RB or keep Green.
With Eifert having another injury and missing the season I don't think he has much value at all. He seems to be injured every year for big chunks of it. Kelce and Engram are more valuable TE making Eifert very expendable, those two should be ranked ahead of Eifert next season and I don't see Eifert starting over those two for you even when healthy (whenever that is).
I think I'd keep Kupp too. He's only played five NFL games and he looks the part. He's only going to get better, and he's a guy that could be a 7 catch a game kind of guy in a couple years.Anyone trading McGuire or Kupp in PPR dynasty? I am very high on Kupp, but just got an offer of Crabtree for my Kupp & McGuire in PPR dynasty. I should probably take it, but my love for Kupp is holding me back. Am I insane?
Don't have any issue with your list, but the narrative that Zeke a product of his o-line is ridiculous. He makes tons of yards on his own.
Never neen a big fan and i like sticking to my guns for a little bit longer than most. He's coming back to earth imo but time will tell.
At this point the top dynasty asset is probably the 1.01 rookie pick.
For me, DJ is a 1 or 2 spots too high due to his age and the ages of Palmer and Fitz. Same with Green and Brown, their trade value is already starting to decline as people look to try and move on from them before the big 30 year old age hit. Cook and the 1.01 would probably sneak up into the top 10 and push them out IMO. I'd probably have Brown, Julio, Hopkins and Green clustered together right after the top 10.
Fournette has some work to do. I liked him coming in and think he's a valuable asset, but he's not very instictive.
I would also not be salivating at the thought of Fournette getting a league average QB. Worse thing that could happen to the Jags right now is that they are winning games and will be thinking of resigning Bortles after picking up his 5th year option this past season. That will kill them long term. Even if they make the right move and jettison him at the end of the year, there's no guarantee his replacement will be much better. They are going to be like the Texans the last few years, stuck with a great defense, a solid running game but no QB and no way to get one without gambling and/or greatly overpaying.
While I agree the Jaguars have put themselves in Qb purgatory by having a talented improving defense and now Fournette being the center of their offense and disguising as well as they can how bad Bortles is, that was pretty much in the bag when they signed Coughlin who influenced the decision to draft Fournette so high.
Fournette is playing against a lot of stacked DL that are beghing Bortles to throw. He is situation isnt even close to as good a Zeke's. Dak is an elite QB and Bortles is an elitely bad QB. Thats before we even start looking at OL play. I wouldn't trade Fournette for any single player in the league.
Their offensive line is all-world on paper, but not in practice. They're not giving him much to work with. Zeke isn't playing as well as he did last season, but he'll work through it. Fournette wouldn't be doing anything more than Zeke has in his shoes. Fournette has one career game with a YPC over 4. Remove one busted play, and that count is zero. He's essentially what Melvin Gordon was last season--low effeciency, unsustainable goal line touches, and pretty steady targets.
Tell that to MJD. It doesn't mean that Fournette won't be a fantasy stud, but historically, thinking that a franchise can just find a halfway decent QB is a bad bet. Especially one as poorly run as the Jaguars over the years. It's taken the Texans 15 years (and that book is not totally written.) The Browns are still looking after almost 2 decades.
Zeke isn't playing as well because he's not a special talent. Fournette is making wine out of water. We'll just go back and forth because we have such varying opinions on both. Time will tell i guess but im quite happy not owning any Zeke shares. I see him as a depreciating asset.Concept Coop said:
My opinion of him hasn't changed too much. He reminds me of Reggie Bush.
Yeah--I think that's fair. I like a slower Bush comp. I wouldn't say my opinion has changed much, either--I never really bought into the 3-down back talk.
For the way I do my rankings for rookies, it is meant to be the upside that I think they can achieve in their first 3 seasons in the league.
Just so happens on my ride in this morning that Mike & Mike were discussing the Jaguars and seemed to be convinced that Bortles would be gone next year (no mention of how the 5th year option was picked up, although they could still cut Bortles prior to the start of the new year.) They seemed convinced that Jag's should make a run at Cousin's (seems destined to either resign or end up in San Fran, IMO) or trade for one of Eli
or Alex Smith.
Smith in Jax would be a solid landing spotJust so happens on my ride in this morning that Mike & Mike were discussing the Jaguars and seemed to be convinced that Bortles would be gone next year (no mention of how the 5th year option was picked up, although they could still cut Bortles prior to the start of the new year.)

I am a huge Fournette fan but it's worth noting he has eclipsed 4ypc in exactly 1 game this season. A lot of that wine is mere volume. Again I like the talent but let's not get carried away with what he's done so far.
Yep there's 3 right there they need to do whatever they can to try and sign one of them. Brees is a FA too I think. ......Just so happens on my ride in this morning that Mike & Mike were discussing the Jaguars and seemed to be convinced that Bortles would be gone next year (no mention of how the 5th year option was picked up, although they could still cut Bortles prior to the start of the new year.)

They don't have a choice. He's a FA and they can't FT him. It's all about where he wants to sign.
Smith is signed for one more year at $14.6MM - very reasonable for how he's playing. If he continues to play well and the Chiefs advance far I don't see how they trade or release him. They'd still get three more years of Mahomes on his rookie contract after 2018.Pwingles said:
