the problem with rudi is that Cincy has 4 other backs on the roster. I dont think he gets the lions share of carries there, if he's on the team at all in 2 years. Irons was a 2nd rounder from a year ago and Watson looked better than him last year and Perry is back from the PUP
These are two that I thought of, I think Houston will go with a RBBC rather than a high rookie draft choice and a healthy Brown being the lead dog. T Jones could have a good year if Dmac does not land on the Jets.Certainly there is a risk it will be one of the other guys than Rudi, but you wouldn't be able to buy him low if there wasn't a reason. Nothing about Cinci's history suggests to me that they like to split carries between RB's during games which I find encouraging. Someone on that roster will be getting 15-25 carries a game.
None of those 4 have proved they can play except Watson and he's "too small".Perry can't stay on the field and I expect he'll be cut and out of the league by Sept. He's a joke at this point. A poor man's David Boston.Irons needs to get and stay healthy and maybe he'll get a shot but for now Rudi looks to be the man and I bet he can be had for cheap. I have him and would probably take a 2nd for him.
People also forget that Watson is older than Rudi. He is not a long-term fix.
Christina Brown will be a low-risk, with potential to be a high-reward. If he is healthy, he is the unquestioned starter in my opinion. That 'if' is a sizable one, though.
I agree but his situation got better then most here expected so I think its worth watching. And IMO his price should remain low untill the draft with the possibility of Seattle drafting a rookie.He didn't get any better because he is in Seattle.
He was given every opportunity to succeed in Dallas behind a solid offensive line and did not produce. It isn't like MB3 was given all of the chances and JJ sat the bench for 3 years. I agree it is a situation to watch, but I don't see his value suddenly skyrocketing to RB20 or better. He remains relatively close in my rankings before/after the trade at around RB30.I agree but his situation got better then most here expected so I think its worth watching. And IMO his price should remain low untill the draft with the possibility of Seattle drafting a rookie.
Why is watson too small? He looked pretty good to me last year and could catch the ball something rudi doesnt do well.Irons has the most talent out of all these guys so we'll see.I agree w/perry btw, but he is cleared to pratice now.Very messy, I guess my advice is draft Irons and avoid the other 3
Im pretty sure Dmac will be a raider, but stranger things have happened
Not my opinion but Watson has always been viewed as 3rd down back.I would sit on Irons as well but Rudi would be nice to have along with him.
he might not meet the "old"requirement But in dynasty he's a buy low for sure
First name I thought of. He's going to be undervalued in many leagues. Could be a terrific bargain if he drops out of the top ten and he should in many leagues.KellysHeroes said:
How many LJ owners are selling low?
What's fair value on Fred Taylor nowadays? I just traded for MJD and would like to handcuff Fred to him but don't want to overpay.
If you need an RB3/4, then I'd say trade for Taylor, but I wouldn't deal for him as MJD's cuff. Both guys will get theirs as Taylor will still start and get a nice share of carries. A 3rd should do it.
Whoever is behind that line will put up good numbers. TJ will do well if the Jets don't take McFadden but his price is going to jump after the draft. If you're willing to gamble that the Jets aren't going to draft him, then now the time to buy.
I thought that last year. The guy was slow and plodding before he blew his knee out. He finished 2006 with some good games and 9 months later he was a beat up old bum who luckily blew his knee out to save embarrassment. Man what a waste of a draft pick.
Yeah, thank god Deuce got seriously injured rather than face any embarrassment. I'm sure he's thanking his lucky stars. "Phew, I was really sucking there. Good thing I blew out my knee! Woo hoo! Time to call it a career before I embarrass myself further by attempting to play professional football, thereby screwing up FavreCo's fantasy football draft."
I think Pierre Thomas will be in for a bigger role this year with or without Deuce there. A lot depends on how the draft goes for the Saints though
LAST year he was buy low. Nobody will sell him low this year. I wouldn't.
I think many LJ owners (like me) will not sell him low this year and are hoping for a big 2008 to then sell him high. And keep Kolby Smith rostered...
I guess I'm in the minority thinking his numbers improve over last year. The addition of Stallworth to stretch the defense even more bodes VERY well for Lewis. Look for top-5 numbers from him this year.
Owner of both LJ and Kolby and was thinking of packaging them with a lower draft picks to move up to snare McFadden. I'm bulimic like in purging older RBs from my roster. Not neccessarily a buy-low scenaio but I would imagine others who have LJ are looking to dish him even though he should have two solid seasons left.
Jamal Lewis's rookie draft pick value today is ________? We all know Jamal Lewis wasn't worth crap pre 2007 or even early in the season. Citing Jamal's lack of burst/strength/poor ypc. also stating he will never return to respectable form. Late season resurgence has clearly changed many peoples formerly lowly view/value. Borderline top 20 dynasty/redraft ranking on footballguys list. Name your price.Buying or Selling Jamal Lewis, what are you asking/accepting/expecting/high/low?1st rounder?2nd rounder?
Not a huge Lewis fan long-term, but if it greatly increased my chances of winning, I would probably give 1.5. If I already had 3 starting RBs, I would keep the 1.5 and go with a rookie.
I thought so, too, Peso but, apparently, he's worth Meachem and a 4th-rounder to the Taylor owner. I'm balking on that one.I've been a huge Freddie Taylor fan ever since he had that spectacular rookie season in 1998 when he helped me win my first FF title, though.
From what I have seen, I still think he is a buy low. He doesn't seem to be mentioned with other feature backs that are in great offenses. He is younger than Westbrook, and he actually caught some passes last year. He is still not valued as high as he should be.Of course, the time to buy was last year, but he still represents good value.
I wouldn't give Meachem/4th for him, but I am also waiting on Meachem, for better or worse. Most owners would probably give Meachem/4th for him, especially if they needed a RB3/RB4 to make a playoff run.
