Re: Tavon Austin
Late 2nd would be fair value. I love the guy, but not sure if he'll every fully translate.
Re: Tavon Austin
Big fan of his skill set but will probably never invest in him for fantasy. These smaller, quick, gadget players typically do not provide much in fantasy, particularly on a consistent basis.

Re: Tavon Austin
I'd probably give a mid 2nd for him. Obviously his upside is somewhat capped and you need to manufacture touches for him, but he is a FA after 2016 and I think his outlook improves with most possible landing spots.

Re: Tavon Austin
If someone offered me a mid to late 2nd I'd probably take it.

Re: Tavon Austin
Unless this is IDP mid-to-late 2nds are close to worthless. Austin is easily worth more than that. If you look back at the last 10 years even early 2nds aren't worth a lot but there are some hits. I'd put his value close to that.

Re: Tavon Austin
I'd buy for a mid 2nd and sell for a late 1st if I liked someone still available in a draft. Austin was a high end wr3 this past year on only 87 targets. If he ever becomes more involved as a wr he'll offer wr2 #'s imo, he's deadly with the ball in his hands.
Re: Tavon Austin
Sure I would want a 1st and I think his value is probably a late 1st. But there isn't anybody going to be willing to pay that. Thus why I would take what I could get if I was selling. I'd sell for a 2nd, hold if the best offer is a 3rd or less, pray to the angels if someone actually would offer a 1st. In the league below I'm holding just to see if he's turned a corner, I have held on to him since his rookie year after all.voiceofunreason wrote:Unless this is IDP mid-to-late 2nds are close to worthless.

Re: Tavon Austin
Bonscott i see in that team that you are also an owner of Jaelen strong - can you tell me your thoughts on him ? Even as a comparison to Austin? ( maybe I should make a diff thread not sure ). Thanks
Thank you for the replies

Re: Tavon Austin
I'd buy for late 2nd, sell for early 2nd or better. I'd need to have someone I had in mind to sell for that intrigued me at that range though, like Lockett or Dorsett from last year. Seems like he's getting the hang of things in the NFL, could continue to improve in his contract year and then test the waters in free agency and go play for a team that will use him.
Re: Tavon Austin
Love me some Strong. Austin unfortunately is kinda what he is and I think he has a decent ceiling in the right offense and a coach that will use him properly. He could be something great but I don't think he ever will be. But this year has been encouraging for sure. Strong I think has a *lot* of upside and I love what I've seen when he's given a chance. I think both he and Parker are on a similar track with Strong a bit behind now due to not much usage so far.Titanium Miss wrote:Bonscott i see in that team that you are also an owner of Jaelen strong - can you tell me your thoughts on him ?

Re: Tavon Austin
I'm pretty stacked at WR's, but I'm still going to hold on to him. 2016 is his contract year. There is always a chance an offensive genius will take him as a FA and turn him into a stud(Please Patriots!) lol

Re: Tavon Austin
I was thinking Tavon to the Pats as well...he would make so much sense for them in that Welker/Edelman role. I actually wouldn't bet against this happening. Tavon to the Cards would be the next best thing.JiggaReed wrote:I'm pretty stacked at WR's, but I'm still going to hold on to him. 2016 is his contract year.

Re: Tavon Austin
Tavon to the Giants to be Mcadoo's Randall Cobb/Philbin's Jarvis Landry makes a ton of sense to me. With Cruz probably cut and Randle a free agent, gonna need more depth than OBJ and Dwayne Harris.

Re: Tavon Austin
Anywhere with a good QB and offensive coordinator should work out good for him. If he goes to the Bills I'm cutting him
