Is Binge worth the 2.06 to a contender?

[M-Dub]

I’m gritting my teeth as I type this, but I’m actually considering moving my 2.06 for Binge. Team in sig. Lost in the title match last year. Hoping to contend again. Binge owner is up against it with our 1st/2nd year player rule. He only has Trubisky, Jonnu and Hollins and doesn’t pick until 3.02. He also has five of his seven WRs (Landry, Parker, Carroo, JMatt and Binge) on bye in week 11, so under the circumstances, he put Binge on the block for a 2nd.

I’m really not a fan of Binge. He’s slow, unathletic, inefficient and pretty old for a guy only entering his 5th NFL season (he’ll be 28 before the season ends). As a longtime Sammy owner, I’m also more than a little hesitant to willingly buy back into the Buffalo passing game.

But at the same time, simple math dictates that there’s always a price at which damn near any player becomes a value. As low as I am on Binge, he’s still a guy on a team who is likely to get 120ish targets this year from a QBTBD. If he stays healthy, I think he could catch maybe 60-70 passes for 800-1000 yards and awkwardly stumble into the end zone 5-7 times. Realistically, that’s almost certainly going to be better than whatever I get from the 19th rookie pick (we award a 1.13 pick to the “toilet bowl” champ).

What say you, DLF? Would this move provide me with some worthwhile, back-end depth at WR, or am I better off throwing a dart on a mid-2nd round rookie and hoping to luck into the next JHow/Kamara/Engram? As it stands, I told him that as long as the two QBs I like are still there when I’m OTC at 2.06, I’d almost certainly make the deal, since I know he won’t take a QB there and I can still get one of them at 2.08. But god, the idea of seeing KB on my roster every time I jump on MFL is just really unsavory. Can you guys either talk me into this or talk me off the ledge?

Will you at least grant me that it’s better than Tyfreak?

His current owner is just trying to purge him from his roster

How big is the league? KB is worth the roll if it's a large league, I'd still consider in a 10 team league

[Gtdano_14]

Cute.

I own KB so take that for what it's worth. I would probably buy him at that price but agree that at the moment I might struggle to do so. I'd feel much better about it if they take one of the rookies because the prospect of the starter being one of McCarron/Peterman has them turning a playoff team into a cellar dweller over one off season.

agreed lol, didnt say the guys name once.

but i would pay a 2nd for KB, he is a pretty safe bet for a handful of TDs and like you said 800-1000 yards

[Mephistopheles]

No reason a contender shouldn't give even an early 2nd for him. Odds of him producing at least WR3 numbers are much greater than the odds of hitting on a rookie for that level of production. Should definitely outperform that acquisition cost.

"Binge and purge"...oh my. Not that eating disorders are funny but KB could do with less Binge.

Anyway, I don't really like KB but who else are they throwing the ball to? If I really needed a WR for this year would probably buy only because he's likely to outproduce (this year) any WR at 2.06 and lower.

2.06 seems like a good price for KB.
