No where did I say that projection was his floor.
My bad - I misread.Biabreakable said:
No worries. A bit of hopeful exuberance on your part perhaps.
Seems fair especially considering the keeper aspect of their relative value.
Hunt as a 4th rounder next year is potentially 1st or 2nd round value while Evans is a 1st round value in the 1st.
Nah, I didn’t forget - I’ve never been particularly high on Howard. I’m still not sure how I feel about him. I’m not even sure how the Bears feel about him. 8th round is a solid value I guess...
Howard is currently RB 11 in standard scoring leagues RB 15 in PPR leagues.
I thought Howard was vastly overdrafted this year as a late 1st/early 2nd. ADP isn’t really relevant in terms of his value other than in speaking to consensus value. I suppose the owner could deal Howard now based on that perception so he’s a good get.
I am playing Alex and Hunt, so I am wish casting here. We do often see in the NFL when things become too obvious, we often get served serious humble pie. The Giants D likely isn't as bad as they looked last week, the Chiefs offense isn't the juggernaut we thought it might be, Andy Reid's bye week record seems almost too good to be true. In the end, we have a lot of data on Alex Smith and most of it says he is the kind of OB that can underperform in any match-up.
At this point the Giants D is every bit as bad as they played against SF.
Agree. I love Hunt but pull the trigger on this trade every time. Evans will bounce back and Howard is legit. Better package.
Prolly a tier below. He was a playoff team and his QBs were Flacco and Eli after Watson went down. Wilson was huge for him.
Just those that value Watson in the Russell Wilson range. Can't imagine many people unpack it that way.
Not that surprising. He’s had an underperforming mid stretch here but the sched opens up for him down the stretch. He could get within “range” by the end of the year.
Interesting. I’d probably take Watson over Wilson, so that’s why I made the comment. If people value Wilson a good bit higher than Watson, I can see maybe doing it.Hankmoody said:
Wilson is QB1 overall this year (QB2 ppg, slightly behind Watson) with a QB8 finish last year and QB3 finish the year before, and he's still only 28 years old.
Interesting you take Watson over Wilson after just a few games but Hunt can't possibly be in the RB top tier after the same amount of time.
Yeah, I felt like it was a very fair deal in our league. The guy who received Howard/Evans in our league is 5-5 and trying to improve for a playoff push, while the new Hunt owner is in last-place at 2-8 and looking to rebuild. The 2-8 owner already traded Doug Baldwin for a 2018 1st (thought it was too much, but that's just me) and now has Hunt. He's currently trying to peddle off Sanders and Fitz before next week's trade deadline. Love this time of year when teams start wheeling and dealing.zoonation said:
We can all agree, I hope, that the QB position is harder to excel in early in a career than the RB position. And even with a that, the comparison between Watson and Hunt isn’t close. Watson started slightly slow, but really picked it up after a couple games. Hunt started fast and dropped off bigly.
And it isPlenty of time here for Hunt... oh wait, 2 minute drill so Reid's computer says it MUST be West.
Kudos.
