I'm not so sure. JJM looked awful during the first two games he played. At 3-3, the Vikes are still in the playoff hunt and the offense is looking fairly good with Wentz. I assume they will roll with Wentz until JJM is 100% healthy and then there will be a huge change in the offense with JJM at the wheel. There's a lot of uncertainty in that offense right now for me to consider paying a premium for Hock.
Absolutely. Smoke and mirrors can only get you so far. The decision to rebuild (or retool as it were) is not record dependent IMO. Selective rebuilding via trades of your aging vets and keeping your young core sounds like the way to go.
I think the QB carousel in MIN has not been great for Hock. He nearly had a TD this week on an amazing diving catch. It may be more that the QBs currently can't support 2 WRs and a TE consistently week in and week out.
I guess it depends where your trade deadline is. If you make the playoffs you never know what's going to happen. A piece like Kamara likely isn't going to help you long term so that's not a bad thing to investigate value. i'm in the same boat where i'm 4-3 and in a playoff spot right now but i have no picks the next couple years and could recoup some by trading Josh Jacobs
Absolutely.
Got it done. Added a 2nd, 2 3rds and Penix and got Goff too.
If age and injuries are issues, and it sounds like they are, I would definitely rather blow it up and keep a young core to build around than go down with a sinking ship.
Eh, JJM had a Herculean 4th quarter comeback & looked awesome doing it in game 1. He won that game for them.
How does A Jones coming back affect Mason's value?
It probably affects it negatively.
As a Pickens and Mason owner, I don't think I would sell Pickens for this. And I also own Lamb, so am/was more apt to want to sell Pickens to diversify from the Dal receiving O a bit.
Yeah, just tryna get a feel for what a fair offer would be. Dude needs RB. I don’t wanna give up Jacobs.
I’d probably trade a late 1st for him at the trade deadline if I was still contending at the point and needed a 2 year rental. 2027 1st would be more ideal but I imagine an Adam’s manager who is in bad shape wants to rebuild right away
late 1st / early 2nd range, specifically 2026.
He will be huge this year and maybe even next year too if he stays with Stafford where he can score 10-12 TDs a year. I'd prefer to offer a 2nd and a 3rd but if push comes to shove maybe a late first IF I knew I would 100% make playoffs. I'd prefer to send a 2nd and maybe a prospect and keep my first if possible. Or a 3rd and decent young guy. Basically try to get a deal done without sending a first if possible but I'm 100% buying Adams right now.
If you are RB rich I would have no problems dealing Jeanty for a good return. I'm not selling cheap and would sell him basically at his draft value to a team that maybe is looking to get younger or was hit with injuries and revamping for next year. This year I think Jeanty will be all over the map with the ups and downs continuing. Part of it is him getting up to speed with the NFL but the rest is the mess of the O-line and offense in general. It may not get better.
The severe injuries this year have been rough. I agree with your assessment in that Connor is likely the "easiest" one to come back from. Plus he seems to be one of those guys who has had to fight his whole life and will likely come out of this close to 100% (even tho he is older). I'd probably keep him.
Seems like an awful time to sell. He showed what he’s capable of with that monster game. Can’t sell off of a 5 point dud.
I'm competing and currently in 3rd place. Extra assets that I can count on might push me over the top, or might not. I'm leaning toward sticking with what I've got and giving it a run. Worst case, my guys are a year older on a team where my oldest player is 28 (Sam Darnold, my backup QB).
I wouldn’t make a long-term decision for a short-term return.
I generally agree about your comment long vs short term BUT - you may only get 1 shot at winning a title and pushing the chips in to win now is worth it in my opinion. This doesn't mean selling Jeanty on the cheap as I agree I would just hold.
For sure - I’m not saying “don’t sell”, I’m saying don’t sell on the dip. I would expect Jeanty to command exactly the same value as he would have after his breakout game, because that’s what he’s capable of. Agree with your greater premise.
Seems very needs dependent but I like team A’s package quite a bit.
Given the weak nature (so far) of the 2026 draft, I think it's a no-brainer to move up to pick 11. That's a pick that could be packaged to move up a few spots in the 1st round.
During the draft I usually want 2.1 but at this point the "value" of the 2 mid round picks is worth more and can do more with it. Right now I hold the two 2nds personally until I have a feel of what the draft will look like.
I agree but for me personally I'm holding the two seconds as its more valueable at this stage. Since I'm not drafting and don't know who 11 could be or will be I'd rather not "over pay" to move up 5 spots.
Understood. I just don't have faith that there will be 15-16 1st and 2nd round values out of this class. The term "Historically Bad" in reference to the 2026 draft class for 1QB leagues has been tossed around. It's hyperbole, but I can see a solid 8-10 1st/2nd round values being about right. There are no Hampton/Jeanty level RBs and certainly no Nabers/Odunze/BTJ level receivers in this draft. Given that, my preference is to consolidate before the draft gets really flushed out. 2.1 will always hold more real value than two dart throws in the middle of the 2nd round, except in pretty deep classes.
Agreed. 11th overall has a strong likelihood of being the best player in that deal.
