Buckner or Flowers at DL to replace Donald

Postby Quint » Wed Sep 06, 2017 1:12 pm

Unfortunately, I have holdout Donald on my roster and have no room to stash him once games start. We have a very short bench in this dynasty league. Buckner and Flowers are both available (believe it or not). I love the tackle for loss points, that really help a DT like Donald.

Scoring: Tackle Solo 1, Tackle Assist 0.5, Tackle for loss 2, Sack 3, Int 3, Fumble Force 2, FumRec 1, TD 6, Safety 4, PassDef 1, Block Kick 2

Buckner interests me because of the tackle for loss points and his defense will be on the field a TON. Flowers would really need to live up to the hype to get enough sacks to make up for Buckner's tackles and snap count. It's a tough call for me.

I mean if you ask the question, get a definite response, and then decide to give reasons why you like the other guy, why even ask the question.

If you like Buckner, take Buckner. It is your team, your decision, you have to live with whatever you pick.

Just thinking it out and having a discussion.

I hear you, but I really do think Flowers is set up for a huge season. Buckner offers a safer floor tho, no argument there

I agree. We don't know Flowers true upside at this point so that is very tempting. I wish I had room for Donald, because he is a beast with that scoring. I just can't take a 0 at a position this early in the year in a matchup that could be tight. It's unreal how stupid the Rams are. Tavon Austin is making almost 5 times as much as Donald this season. He's got plenty of reason to holdout.

Flowers. Buckner was certainly good last year but he will see no where near the same number of snaps as last season.
