What's the market value on Lacy in dynasty? (1 Viewer)

[dansav]

The guys looks awesome. He runs like marshawn lynch but has hands and can catch out of the backfield. He can get to the outside and run you over on the goaline.

I don't know if a first rd pick next year is enough for him.

Any thoughts or feedback on lacy going forward an his market value?

there are so few young RB's that are any good he's probably a top 5-10 overall dynasty RB. Although that says more about the lack of good dynasty RB's at the moment than Lacy.

I hear you, I think Lacy is in the perfect situation for the next few years.

A first round pick next year is not enough. He was a first round pick this year and is doing great (i.e. the risk is gone). You will need more than a first next year to get him.

The elder statesmen of the position have fallen by the wayside this year, so he's definitely a top 10 dynasty guy right now. You don't trade top 10 RBs that are young for just a 1st round pick. Bad return on investment.

Just have to keep the toe issue in the back of your mind. It may not be acting up now, but in the long term it was a reason NFL teams shied away from him. Have to trust the NFL doctors on long term concerns.

Just acquired for Cruz and Foster in dynasty.

That offense is a gold mine for him. Agree with the health concerns though too. He's a top back right now

In my opinion, Lacy is going to cost a fortune to pry from an astute owner. He's a first round pick in redraft and would be no worse, IMO, than the 10th pick in a start up dynasty format. The only guys in certain I'd take over him:

Charles

McCoy

ADP

Calvin

Graham

After that maybe...Forte, Bernard, Rodgers, Green, Dez but a compelling argument could be made to take him. Lynch is also in this group

If I was offered any first round pick other than the 1.01 (where I'd take Sammy Watkins), I'd laugh. I'd consider the 1.01 along with another small piece, but I'd still pass.

We just completed an in-season start-up mock at DLF and I took him at 2.10. He was the ninth RB off the board (behind Charles, McCoy, Spiller, Martin, Peterson, Bernard, Morris, and Forte). I'd personally take him as my sixth RB behind Charles, McCoy, Martin, Bernard, and maybe Forte.

I am truly amazed that Spiller is so highly valued.nonetheless, Lacy is a legit franchise player. He's only gotten better as the season has progressed.

I think I'd feel good with drafting Lacy any time after 1.05 in a startup dynasty.

We used to deferring to ADP as the 1.01, but he's going to before next season starts. He's on pace for roughly 3/5 of what he did last year; granted it was an all-time season, yardage wise. His TDs are steady. He has a big injury on his rap sheet. Would I want him? He'll yes! Is he still dynasty 1.01... I don't think so.

Another possibility at 1.01 is Jamaal Charles. Solid choice, catches are on pace to be near double his career average. Yards per carry is more an a yard below career average, however. Only 27 when next season starts, reasonable to expect similar usage as he has had in year 1 of the Reid regime. Certainly a 1.01 contender.

Would consider LeSean McCoy - runs well, catches a lot of passes, break away ability. Not exactly a TD machine with the exception of 2011. Only 26 at the start of next year. I would consider him every bit as good of a choice as Charles.

Marshawn Lynch is another thought. 28 years old next season. Perhaps the most physical RB in the NFL right now. Doesn't catch a ton of passes but should have his highest reception total since 2008 and set a career high in TDs. This is his prime. The question is, does age and abuse draw the end closer than the others. A stud any way you look at it.

Calvin Johnson is the only non-RB I would consider. Stud. Physical freak. 29 next season, but should have a longer shelf life than the vast majority of RBs. His only inconsistency seems to be the occasional "game of a lifetime" sprinkled in. Stafford loves him, and it looks like they'll grow old together. This could be a solid, solid 1,01 dynasty pick.

Those are my top 5. If forced to rank them, I'd probably start with McCoy, then Charles, Mega, Lynch and at 1.05 ADP.

Eddie Lacey is obviously just cutting his teeth at 23. Has a solid team around him. Getting the opportunity to be more of a leader with Rogers down at a critical point in the season. Should be around 1000 yards rushing, not seeing a lot of passes at less than 2 per game. The team seems committed to him as evidenced by ignoring Franklin. One would assume the best is yet to come. Others might argue Graham or Forte, but I'm not drafting. TE this early and thou Forte is solid, I wouldn't put him in the same tier as the others.

So I think, if I was to draft a startup dynasty today, I'd take Edfie Lacy at 1.06.

Lacy owner would n't trade him for McCoy. Didnt offer straight up. Owner just said he prefers Lacy.
