Pretty easily Zeke for me .. I'd ask for at least early 2nd at minimum, but try to get more than that..

Yeah, I prefer Zeke to Kamara. I think the gap is more like a first rounder mid-early for me to come of Zeke and I would still have to think long and hard.

Zeke. Proven it for much longer and didn’t have outlier stats for efficiency. Kamara is really good, but Zeke is better.

Zeke is built to last longer. Kamara is certainly, in my opinion more versatile but Zeke has the size/skill/speed of a true 3 down back. I'd probably want a late 1st added on to kamara

Yeah I would want a top 5 RB in the rookie class to move Zeke for Kamara....I love Kamara and think his "regression" hype is way overblown but you can't argue against the the 400+ touches he was on pace for last year....Even if he was absolutely trash he would still be a locked and loaded RB1 but he isn't trash he is spectacular.

While my RB rankings have Zeke slightly ahead I’m a Kamara owner that wouldn’t deal him straight up for Zeke. Admittedly part of it is I’m a Kamara fan and not so much Zeke. While I don’t expect the off the field stuff to cause any future issues I don’t discount it completely. I also fully believe Kamara can be a 3 down feature back and there is no more dynamic receiving back in the game. I know I’m in the minority but those are my thoughts on picking Kamara. Not looking to sell him or buy Zeke in any of my leagues at current prices.

Zeke for me too, but not by as much as everyone else. I would say a 2nd is the gap, at least in PPR leagues. With the new rules in place it just seems to me that the league is moving to a more pass friendly one- and 3rd down backs will become more valuable than the typical grinders we've been used to at RB.
Like I said, I'm still for Zeke- but in 2 or 3 years I wouldn't be surprised to see Kamara on top in the rankings by most.

In one of my leagues I asked about Kamara and the owner said "he wasn't available for trade and is the 3rd best RB in the league behind Barkley and Bell" to which I asked what about Zeke and Gurley and he said "maybe Gurley is ahead too but I wanna see how Zeke does against 8 man boxes with no Dez and Witten" to which I showed a nextgen stat that showed Zeke faced 8 man boxes 35% of his snaps (one of the highest for 3 down RBs). I then realized in another league we are in together I owned Bell and Kamara and he had Zeke...so I offered Bell for Zeke or Kamara for Zeke. He rejected. Apparently he wasn't willing to put his money where his mouth was lol

zeke by a mid first at least. i think this time next year kamara will be more like a round 4 start up pick, not a back end round 1 pick. he is good for sure but hes not in a workhorse role like zeke and his efficiency will likely drop because he was at an unsustainable level last year.

Zeke by a lot.

I doubt I would move him even if 1.2 was thrown in but a mid to high 1st is what it would take for many. Kamara is a high volume RBBC back. He is very good but more scheme dependent.
