Ronnie Brown...is he worth keeping around? (1 Viewer)

[cincySTUD]

I drafted this guy in the 2nd round of my dynasty draft and I can't decide if I should just try to trade him... Some guy offered me Droghens and Philip Rivers for him, but I can't quite pull the trigger. Brown just seems to have a ton of potential for furture seasons IF the Dophins ever get an OLINE.

 

[gump]

He's still in the top 15 RBs. And he was traded in my league for Willie Parker, which I thought was a good deal for the former Parker owner. If you trade him for Droughns and Rivers, you are getting mugged.

 

[gman8343]

I'd keep him. The guy isn't doing that bad despite the Dolphins' struggles.

That's putting it very lightly. I'd also add: beaten and pillaged

 

[bumpman]

Brown is at his low-end right now. If things start to click with that offense, he has tremendous upside.

I wouldn't even consider this trade in a redraft league, let alone a dynasty league.

 

[gocats]

Try to move him for like a starting RB + M Turner

 

[Lemmiwinks]

I think Parker is better than Brown for this season. Dynasty I am HOLDING Brown at all costs.

Miami sucks this year, but if they get a new O-coordinator in the offseason Ronnie Brown goes way up.

 

[1996patriots]

I'm seriously considering trading R Brown for Tatum Bell. That is unless he'll take one of my other RB's straight up for Bell - C Taylor, F Taylor and D Foster.

 

[my man otis]

FWIW (and for Ronnie valuation), I traded away Ronnie, Santana Moss and Delhomme for Rudi and Bryant.

I'd trade up the RB ladder but I probably wouldn't trade down.

 

[PeskyTheGoat]

If you are going to trade Ronnie, why not wait until after the the Phins play the Jets this week and the Packers next week. He could put up huge numbers and get you a better deal.

 

[Josh the FunkDOC]

I agree that you should at least try to get a better deal than that.

Ronnie has played very well this year, it's just that the line is terrible at run-blocking. And what makes me feel good is that his points are coming mostly from consistent yardage, as opposed to TDs (which are inherently more random). In dynasty he is a definite HOLD, but in a re-draft I like getting FWP or Tatum straight up for him.

One last thing to note, in Week 15 he plays the Bills (a below-average run D, even with Chester Taylor's dud against them), and in Weeks 16 and 17 he gets to play two of the worst run Ds: The Jets and Colts. If your playoffs include Week 14, though, he gets the Pats then, which is obviously not so great.

 

[thatguy]

He is definitely worth keeping around. Without giving it much thought, I'd say there are maybe 5 RBs I'd trade him for straight up in dynasty formats, and maybe 10 in redrafts.

So, unless you can land a top RB in a better situation, or a surefire stud WR or QB (assuming you have good RB depth but are struggling at one of these positions), he is a must hold.

 

[my man otis]

If you are going to trade Ronnie, why not wait until after the the Phins play the Jets this week and the Packers next week. He could put up huge numbers and get you a better deal.

that's nice and all, but what makes you think these next two weeks will be any different than the past 5? He's played 3 bad teams so far this year with a cake schedule and couldn't do anything. Harrington certainly isn't the answer.If you can get a top 5 RB in the deal do it now.

I think Parker is better than Brown for this season. Dynasty I am HOLDING Brown at all costs. Miami sucks this year, but if they get a new O-coordinator in the offseason Ronnie Brown goes way up.

Not to mention the fact that Ricky may come back. Out of all the young RB's with potential, Ronnie Brown may be in the worse situation.You may be waiting a while for that potential to come through. If you can hold him as a RB2a for a couple years, he will probably pay off.

I dumped him in a keeper league trade this week. I think Brown is in for a rough go. I'd bet that he will fall into a two-back system again when Ricky returns and Saban will probably draft another RB in next years draft. It is his M.O. and I didn't know that when I drafted Brown as a rookie. Couple that with the lack of talent on the offensive line, rotating doors at offensive coordinator, and the unsettled QB situaton. Talk about buyers remorse.

Simple --> because ricky is still a good RB and would help them win game => help saban win games => help saban get more $.

Yeah dynasty league - screw it.Why bother trading - just cut him.The guy has no future.

(and not sarcasm)Brown will be a fine long term investment, but if you want production now, trade him.

 

[Pound]

Sunday's game will probably answer these questions... I'm expecting Joey to have a good game, Ronnie will benefeit and kick ###.

 

[SigEp316]

I just traded for him in a 2 man keeper....I traded Westie for him, damaged goods....and am happy to have Ronnie to build around for the next couple of years. I was tired of all the Westie injury issues.

In my league RB was #15 and Westie was #1, but I couldn't count on Westie every week and like Ronnie's potential in the next couple of years.

What makes you guys think that he will play for the Dolphins? They cut him a long time ago. Why would the y resign him, or why would he want to resign with them?

Yeah - but I think they are the only team he could realistically work for in the NFL given the arbitrator's decision regarding his signing bonus.

I believe Ricky is still under contract for one more season with the Fins.From rotoworld on May 28:

Ricky Williams agreed to a one-year, $240,000 contract with the Toronto Argonauts.

The Argonauts have called a 4:30 press conference. Williams will be let out of the Argos' contract and be property of the Dolphins again after playing one season. Toronto's first game is June 16.

Definetly dulls RB's keeper value.

 

[Marc Levin]

That's what I thought, too, Lemmiwinks (that the 'phins owned his NFL rights), but could not find any confirmation of that.

Rather than diss the original post, I gave the logical alternative answer that I knew was true.

take off those rose colored glasses.

 

[PeskyTheGoat]

Who said anything about a top five RB? He was talking about getting Droughens back in the deal, to me, it seems to make sense to wait until after they play the Jets and Packers to see if you can get more rather than take Droughens. Ronnie put up 127 and a TD against the Jets, that should help. Rotoworld seems to agree that you may want to consider selling high after the Packer game.

From Rotoworld

Brown didn't catch a pass, which hurts in PPR formats. It was good to see him reach the end zone for the second straight week, even though Miami tried to throw it in on their first two plays near the goal line in the fourth quarter. Brown should post another solid day vs. Green Bay in Week 7, then it will be time to contemplate a sell-high.

 

[bryhamm]

Well, Ronnie Brown finally had a good game. Is now the time to sell "high", or will he continue to put up good numbers with Joey H at the helm?

 

[dgreen]

Well, he plays the Jets again in week 16, so I wouldn't part with him unless I get a great offer.

 

[AB in DC]

Answer: Yes.

Real question: Trade him for whom????

 

[SigEp316]

his schedule isn't that bad

he's going to end up in the TOP 10....just maybe at number 10

OCT. 22 GREEN BAY PACKERS

Oct. 29 BYE WEEKEND

Nov. 5 at Chicago Bears

NOV. 12 KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

NOV. 19 MINNESOTA VIKINGS

Nov. 23 at Detroit Lions

DEC. 3 JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

DEC. 10 NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

Dec. 17 at Buffalo Bills

DEC. 25 NEW YORK JETS

a couple of other could be tough...but that offense has to get better

I am a big believe in Ronnie's ability and am also an owner. However, I am frustrated with the entire surrounding cast around him in Miami from QB, WR, OL, etc. not to mention the horrific play calling that doesn't showcase Ronnie's running ability. Just wondering if other owners are looking to deal him off now for some other young RB's out there that may have more upside (Caddy, MJD, Maroney, etc.) this year and beyond. What do you think?

 

[Mario Kart]

Yes, waiver wire fodder for sure.

 

[gman8343]

you didn't like the 120+ yds this week?

 

[Tiger Fan]

In a league where non SEC RBs only get points, I would definitely drop him.

 

[yinzer]

What I want to know is when you have a Ronnie Brown who is in all likelihood your most talented offensive player, how the hell do you give Joey Harrington 62!?! passing attempts?! Especially when Brown was averaging 4 yards a carry and only had 15 attempts the whole game.

They deserve to lose if they have Harrington pass 62 times. As much as the OLine sucks, I think it's stupid play calling like this that might be holding Browns value back even more. He's got only 2 games with 20+ carries. His best 2 yardage games too, I might add
