James White or 18' 1st? ppr

Postby Huddle3233 » Fri Sep 22, 2017 9:10 am

SO I lost David Johnson in a ppr- start 2 rb's. 12 teams. Im now weak @ rb & was offered White.

Im starting to think w his Super Bowl dominance & early season roll looks pretty solid he may be the guy to go after in a ppr league.

Is he worth a 18' 1st? Im about to pull the trigger

Was in the same boat so I traded M Bennett and my 3rd for James white and ASJ. I think a 1st round valuation is a little steep.

I like White, but not sure I'd give a 1st for him.

If it's the back end of the 1st round, I don't think that's too steep at all.

I got him for a 19 3rd after week 1 which I thought was a pretty solid deal. Wouldn't begin to consider a 1st rounder for him. Offered 2 18 3rds for him yesterday and got an instant rejection. Feel like hes worth a late 2nd at best.

I think he's worth an early 2nd in ppr. I'd need a late first to sell but wouldn't pay more than a second.

Thanks for the input. I countered. I offered him T. Boyd & my 1st for his White/2nd Rd. HE hasn't responded.

The big ? is can he be started as a Rb2 every week? If so I think he could be worth a 1st. Id like to not pay that thou.

I plan to most weeks. I'm in the same situation and rolling with him as my RB2 with DJ out.

I bought White everywhere this offseason. If I'm not mistaken the contract they gave him is the most lucrative the Pats have ever given to a RB. He seems locked in as the Pats' passing down back going forward, and he looks very improved as a runner as well.

He's a Patriots' RB so there will be ups and downs, but I think he's a good bet to finish with strong RB2 numbers for the season. A 2nd wouldn't even be a conversation starter if someone was looking to buy. Mid/late 1st is probably about right in PPR.
