The depth of the class will reveal some bargains, he definitely could be one of those.
Almost too much praise, but I also like the player. Having said that, unless you’re a Taylor owner, the cost of a roster spot for potentially several years may be more expensive than I’m willing to do, especially in shallow leagues. If you have very large rosters, or even better, a taxi squad, then by all means knock yourself out.
I'm guessing he meant he had him #2 predraft maybe?
I understand people from Texas can’t read, but in real NFL terms and not just fantasy, he was my pre-draft #2 RB.
You draw more bees with honey than vinegar.
Late-round flier vs #2 RB in the class still seems like a massive gulf, just due to the NFL-versus-fantasy factor, and where he was drafted. Well, I'm thinking dynasty though. If you're referring to redraft, that could make plenty of sense.
As much as I’ve criticized for too much love for Giddens, you’ve gone completely the other direction. If Giddens shows up in the work he does get, I can definitely see the Colts not wanting someone to replace Giddens as a priority in 2026. Why in the hell would they? Landing spot aside I liked Giddens going into the NFL draft.
Because teams do it all the time. Look at all the teams that have 3 solid RBs or 3 RBs with "different skillsets" that they rotate and have frustrating RBBCs. I'm not saying Giddens doesn't have skills, just that since he was a late round pick, he won't be allotted a whole lot of opportunities. Colts still have Tyler Goodson whom they like and they brought in Khalil Herbert. How many times have we heard teams say "we stayed true to our draft board and took BPA"? If there is another RB sitting for them next year, it could happen. I'm just playing devils advocate and speaking hypothetically, I know. However, we do see it every year. And I'm curious if the colts rotate RBs more this year to try and save the wear and tear on Taylor, or they may grind Taylor into the ground. Those QBs are gonna need a solid running game because they've shown nothing to keep defenses honest. I live here in Indy so I'll try to add anything I hear on Giddens during training camp, etc. So far, I've not heard anything on Giddens...it's all been Pacers talk.
Well, as a Colts Homer I can say two things. I like Giddens as an addition to the RB room and discussing a Giddens replacement now seems silly to me. Put it this way, as a dynasty manager it currently isn’t high on my list of priorities. Most didn’t pay much for Giddens, so even if he doesn’t work out long term, what are you out besides cheap draft capital and a roster spot?
