Abdullah a buy low guy?

Postby dblj1199 » Thu Jun 22, 2017 10:58 am

I know Detroit didn't bring in any competition for him this offseason. They added to their o-line, but lost their starting LT for several months. They have also added Fells at te, he's more of a blocking te which they didn't have last year and it's not Ebrons strength. So with a banged up o-line do they run early and often to not get Stafford killed? Should I target him or would he simply add to my stable of questionable rb2's? Thanks.

Depends on what you're paying I guess. I wouldn't give more than a 2nd, but I'm not a big believer.

Oline or not, the guy hasn't been able to stay healthy.

Health is a concern but I think he is a good buy low, because of the reasons listed above. Depending on the deal I'd say go for It I bought him a bunch of places last year for teams that I was rebuilding.

He's as big of a buy low as you can have considering the price of starting RBs.

I don't tink he'd cost much more than Paul Perkins or Rob Kelley. That's a little crazy to me.

I would go for him, especially for a 2nd for example. Opportunity wide open on a great offence, has had his injury problems but a risk definitely worth taking.

I have hoped to land him in a few leagues, but not been successful so far, so even more reason to buy low if you can as there are clearly still believers out there.

Really depends on the owner. I have him in both leagues (owned him before last year and held through the season) and wouldn't even consider a 2nd round pick.

I think the longer the owner has held him the more value he holds to them.

I've bought low on him everywhere I can. Paid a mid 2nd and late 3rd during a rookie draft in one league. I'll buy a starting RB at that price all day long, regardless of how much I like him.
