My two cents: That's a tough one. Chase Edmonds -- and I say this a guy rostering him and hoping for the best -- is not likely AZ's full-time back when the season comes around. On his own team he has feature back competition from Eno Benjamin and UDFA Johnathan Ward. They might draft somebody. Sigmund Bloom doesn't necessarily think this is the case, but other people are not as confident in that. They point to his usage when Drake was there. Drake was actually a bit of a workhorse. Edmonds didn't get a ton of usage despite his point total from last year, which was touchdown-dependent (I know. I had to play him at times in a deep league). So beware. As for Shenault, he and Chark, Jones, and a likely rookie WR are a lot of mouths to feed in JAX, though most fantasy sites list Shenault as an offseason winner due to Lawrence. Where do the targets and touches come from with that many guys around?
Appreciate the response. I kinda agree. That’s why i’m on the fence.
That's what I was getting at with his usage while Drake was there. I didn't say everything I could have said because of time and interest constraints. But now since you asked and responded, I had segued into his usage with Drake without making it specific. I don't think Edmonds is that flex-worthy. He wasn't used as much as we think, and he was touchdown-dependent in terms of his points. A lot of them came from passes within the red zone on third downs, and I don't think that is sustainable. Drake was in there as a goal line back quite a bit, despite Kingsbury proclaiming that he wanted Drake to hit between the tackles more. Put it this way: If Drake isn't a short yardage guy but was in there on short yardage all the time (check out advanced stats on this if you can, I don't have access to ESPN+ anymore regarding touchdown opportunities) last year, what's that say about Edmonds? He wasn't getting any cheap one-yard runs. At all. So there's really sustainability to be considered when you take on Edmonds and hope for points.
Oh I have no illusions there - I feel like I’m paying for Sheanult & getting Edmonds to balance it. It just so happens I’m in need of RB depth.
Fournette re-signing didn’t help.
Yeah, I'm staying away from advising you about the trade. It might be a really good thing given your roster. I just want you to be fully informed about Edmonds and his usage.Oh I have no illusions there - I feel like I’m paying for Sheanult & getting Edmonds to balance it.

I also fear aging out as all my WRs are 27-28
maybe I’ll stand pat & deal if one of my starters goes down.
Your advice actually helped. I wasn’t looking at Edmonds floor if they draft a RB.
No sweat. If Edmonds blows up and becomes an RB1, you know who to kick on the board if he says that Edmonds was and is always going to be a three-down back in that Cardinals offense.
Speaking of Robinson, just went down in FFPC
Wow. I have 1.05 as right after a tier break, to me. Good pull, IMO. I think it's a good pull regardless of tier break. I mean, it's a fair trade, but I think it's in your favor.
Yeah I don't get it. Lamb is borderline WR1 in dynasty. I think some people have him there already. I can't sell Arob even though he supposedly has a ton of value, if this deal is any indication. I'd put DJ over the mystery of where Smith or Waddle lands at 1.05. If you get lucky and one of the top 3 RBs falls there then I'd like it a lot more.
Terrible deal. Taylor is about the most valuable thing going in dynasty fantasy football right now.awful trade in of my PPR dynasty leagues.
Team A gets: Taylor
Team B gets: LATE 2022 1st and Montgomery (who's value has only gone down with William's signing and Cohen returning this year)
Anyone ever seen Taylor moved that cheap?
Yep, and it ruins leagues when you get a top 3 startup player for what, MAYBE a 5th round RB and a late 1st? Just awful....
Is Team B on suicide watch this morning? Or is he so oblivious to the situation to be on suicide watch?awful trade in of my PPR dynasty leagues.

Same 2 owners did a similar trade several weeks ago in another one of my leagues, maybe not QUITE as bad but still lopsided. Same guy gave up Taylor for James Robinson and a late 1st....ughh
*sheepishly gulps*Anyone ever seen Taylor moved that cheap?
First trade give me Gabriel
My first thought when I looked at before I saw your post:
Second trade is lopsided as anything. Davis was WR 28 in PPR this year. There's your WR3. For nothing. He's a guy who is moving on to the Jets to be their number one guy instead of stuck with Henry and Brown as the alphas in TN. Easy trade to make.
Nice move getting Lamb. Not free by any means, but I like the move.
Davis for 2.10 is about right.
Lockett owner is trying to push him on me in various deals for Evans or ARob. But he won’t part with Swift or Gibson.
Ah, okay. Now I understand. Yeah, I'm not a hardcore Davis guy, either. I just thinks he provides some value, especially at that price.
In the league and agree with everything you said and trade made sense for both sides.
Completely agree! Zeke has not shown his recovery yet, but I do expect he will be valuable 2021 but only for 2 years. Giving up A Rob depends on how you see the QB issue in Chi (IMO, Dalton has a good long ball, but not consistent in mid-range targets). If you think J Williams, Cohen & Montgomery will make a RBBC Carousel with more ground game focus, maybe ARob gets fewer targets? I don't trust Chi Offense to thrive.Hot Sauce Guy said:
Big difference in his initial asking price and I think it's a great exit when you can afford to give up a RB.
The team getting Diggs and Ridley already has Davante Adams and Tyreek Hill. Dalvin Cook at RB as well.
this gets him down to 22 so 6 more to go. but it doesn't look like it should be too tough for him. lots of dead weight. my team could use jones for a 3rd I mean he didn't shop it at all.
In SF that pushes the players to about 1.07 if you are looking for a positional player and not QB (Other team is set at QB with Wilson and Murray, so I assume that was his way of thinking as well). I traded out of 2.01 for the future 1st in this deal because I am in a major rebuild and trying to accumulate gobs of future picks.
