Many were wrong in thinking that Waller wouldn’t get the same targets as Cooks. There’s zero reason to believe what we saw last year to the 1st 3 weeks of this year is going to change.
I hate to be a ninny, but I only play on Yahoo and this is the case for me. I'm debating dropping him and adding someone as we speak.
Owner receiving him must feel like they are a lock for the playoffs, were they deep at RB? I don't hate this idea.
We can start 4 RB's with our 2 flex spots, so I pulled the trigger. Also, it helps that I play him in week 11, so I won't have to face Saquon. And to answer your question, his RB's suck after Leveon.
I'm sure he meant "Get Ito more touches", but I love the idea of Dirk Koetter wanting to get in himself as the RB more frequently. Maybe he's a deep dynasty stash?
I have to say, while I understand why you did it, I am not a huge fan of it. You have two options in dealing with Saquon
I only play on yahoo also but I’m pretty sure ours are set up so you can’t add anyone after 1 pm kickoffs on Sundayrockaction said:
Freeman. If you're trying to unload him no matter what you trade him to an owner who thinks he can be an RB1 (Ito still out and Kenjon Barner is no threat).
Nice snark BTW but nah, not in the business of giving out fluff.
It won't be surprising if Saquon doesn't return this year. High ankle sprains are serious. They definitely don't want him to reinjure it. If they are 2-8 or 3-7 entering their bye, what would be the point of bringing him back for the last 6 games of the year? With the 2020 draft being loaded, they'll have extra incentive not to win at the end of the year.mjb03003 said:
I have Barkley and in 1st place of a redraft. And I have an offer right now of :
I would make that trade. Chubb is a massive upgrade over Gallman. Barkley may not be 100% at anytime for the remainder of the year, so Chubb may not even be a big downgrade to Barkley.
I was coming here to post something about Michel. I can't get any takers for him.
Just had a trade in my standard go down Sony for Watkins. (Was not part of the trade myself)
That's interesting. Good for both owners. Both come with significant risk.
I pass on that deal without much thought. If I am dealing Barkley, I want a solid RB that can help me now. MIN is a pure run-first team so Diggs is pretty much a WR3 going forward.
I think you overpaid for Adams. Chark and Hilton are solid options, and Ekeler is a RB1 until Gordon returns, and would still be a low RB2....I can't see LA reducing Ekeler's role that much. Montgomery is going to be a good RB, but he does share the load and Trubisky sucks. Don't see Montgomery's upside being that high.
Jacobs scored about 22-23 standard his first time out then went for about 10 points his second. This past week was his only bad one. I don't think anybody is selling low. I know I wouldn't. He's PFF's second highest-graded rookie and is averaging 5.1 YPC and a bunch after contact from what they were saying.
1 catch all year. Week 2 he had 12 touches. Week 3 he had 10 touches. I’m not saying he’s dirt cheap but I think Jacobs owners are scratching their heads a bit.
He had a reduced workload in Week 2 due to something undisclosed plus the game script, and Week 3 he was coming off a tweak and sickness. I think Week 3 is really the outlier. But people did expect more catches, I'll grant you that. I also think Gruden is actually trying to manage his workload, unlike popular expectation to the contrary.
Sure but that could also be ammo to get a reasonable selling point. It's been 3 weeks and he has already been so sick he lost 10 pounds, dealt with a hip injury and a groin injury. His snap share has been sinking W1: 75%, W2: 46%, W3: 40%. What was the top concern about him coming out of college? He never was a lead back, never showed he could shoulder a lead role. On top of that, his one big strength (skill as a receiver) hasn't been part of his arsenal in the NFL. The Raiders are near the bottom in plays ran, points scored and pace of play. He's not as obviously struggling as Diggs or Conner, but there are reasons why some players with Jacobs could be nervous.
All good points. I guess that the chances are if you have to explain yourself that much and highlight those concerns in such a way as to elucidate it, you're already on deaf ears.
As other posters have said, he's been sick, he said he lost 10 pounds. I'm going to chalk up his reduced involvement in the passing game as a conditioning issue and not indicative of their plans for him. I think he's a real three down back once he's fit.
As long as Dalvin is healthy I don't think the Vikings will throw anywhere near as much as in the past few years. I don't think you want to buy their passing game unless you get it on the cheap.
I don’t think I would make that kind of argument with someone to talk them into selling I’m not going to pressure someone like that and I don’t think it works. I wasn’t clear. It was more that I think Jacobs owners who might look deeper into the the situation, might find themselves worried about what they see underneath the fantasy points. I was more pointing out why a Jacobs owner might have questions.
Oh, okay. I was thinking that during the negotiation you were devaluing that which you wanted, which I find is always an odd tactic. I see what you're saying now. I have and had all those questions about Jacobs and hearing he was already hurting/ill gave me pause, just like his reluctance with the media during Hard Knocks and at other times. He seems like a really shy guy who doesn't like people prying very much and probably has trust issues that are often attendant with that kind of rougher and transient upbringing. So he does things a bit differently. I don't know, there are questions but I think if he's got the right people around him and looking after him, then he's a three down back with a regulated workload.
Didn’t you say you’re trying to trade FOR him lol ?
I find myself doing an amazingly good job of this with Sony Michel, only I'm trying to trade Michel, so it's sort of self-defeating.
