Trade for Tevin Coleman or Rookie RBs? (1 Viewer)

[fantasybears]

Would you trade Watkins and Crowder for Tevin Colman ($10), keep one or both, or just drop them with others below and get a couple of rookie RBs looking for a RB2?  If going for rookies, who would you target other than Barkley?

There won't be many if any RBs of note being dropped from teams and the best available are Miller, Lynch, Bernard, Stewart, White, Martin.  Rookie RBs usually go for $15-$30, with Barkley probably in the $35-$40 range.

If it were me I would drop Julio and Williams and go for multiple multiple rookie rb's, I'd rank them after Barkley, Guice, Jones, Penny, Freeman, Chubb, Michel. This is a great rookie RB class and you can solidify your team for years to come. At $44 Julio's life expectancy on your team is short lived and Atlanta has a flashy new toy (Ridley) that will be cutting into Julio's numbers. You also have good WR depth and can afford to lose Julio.

You need that second RB, and coleman is a good option for this and future seasons once he signs with a new team next year. Julio is likely to have a better year in 18 than last year, but I agree with beerbuff that now might be a good time to sell him high. Watkins and Crowder are cheap by comparison, and the addition of coleman for 10 bucks is great. If the owner of Coleman would trade Coleman+first+additional piece (maybe TE) for julio that could really shore up your roster.
