So what is his price tag now? I just inquired about him and his owner wants a late 1st/early 2nd at worst. Seems a bit high to me for 1 "good" (if you want to call 5 touches good, although the results were nice) game. I wouldn't mind putting a 2nd for maybe 2 years in the future but the immediate year is a high price tag. As much as I hate how I dropped him from my team, maybe this is sellers remorse and I just want him back and willing to pay higher, but whats the consensus on how high people are willing to pay to get him?
I drafted him at 2.12 for him in a 12 team PPR dynasty league this year. Wanted to go for the highest upside at the point, and Crowell was that by far.
On Sunday, he looked like the best RB the Browns have on his limited touches. Bigger, faster, and more powerful than West. Tate looked lighter on his feet by a little and had more moves than I thought he would, but Crowell looked awesome. He looked like a guy who was a 5 star recruit and the SEC freshman of the year, and I believe his talent will eventually win out if he's given a fair chance to show it.
I don't believe I'd get anything close to what he's worth to me right now, just at the chance that what I saw turns out to be real. That chance is worth a lot more than a 2nd round rookie pick that probably won't amount to much.
He's not much different than Christine Michael right now to me. He's behind younger but far less talent backs though.
