Running backs to target

[JRM12]

Hi all,

Team in sig, currently rebuilding but am lacking at RB. No one is open to trading top 15-20 RBs in my league. Who should I be targeting outside of them. I was thinking Aaron jones, Peyton barber. Is there anyone else?

[jomaed]

Sorry, but what an absolute dumpster fire. Don't worry about any RBs right now. The ones you are targeting will likely be useless in 2 years. Your goal should be to keep working on your WR core and load up on RBs in the 2020 draft. That is when this team will be ready to compete IMO. I'd consider packaging Howard and someone like Parker Gordon Cobb and go after a top tier WR.

Which sort of receivers do you think? Someone like Hopkins, Adams etc?

Doubt it nets you Hopkins, but you could try. Adams Thomas Evans are worth shots too. May be enough if people love RBs in your league.

[J. Edgar]

Tevin Coleman, Dion Lewis, Alex Collins, Crowell, Ajayi, Miller.

Is there an opportunity to get guice? I think f you are rebuilding and the guice owner is a contender, you might be able to get him at a slight discount.

[JRM12]

I’ve tried for guice. He’s not interested.

Then look for young guys with a chance to earn a bigger role soon. Tevin Coleman, Derrick Henry, Foreman, etc

I think james connor would be a good target unless the bell owner has him already. in that case he prob isnt selling

Corey Clement. Daniel Jeremiah is plugged into Philly and mentioned Clement as one of his favorite fantasy options. He was all over Agholor last year before they traded Matthews.

The Eagles' RB situation is really unsettled after this year with Ajayi being a FA and Sproles retiring.

[BeeziBad]

if the rookie hype has died, try for rojo, chubb, penny. guys that are losing the rb battle but will no doubt have a role soon.

[Pats/VikesFan]

What have you been offering to other owners?

You could probably offer both of your 2019 firsts as the class will be WR heavy, but mediocre overall.

[Dunville]

IMO look to ship off everyone but KAllen, Arob, djmoore and Gesicki and look to rebuild fully. Like another guy said target rookie RBs or top tier WRs

Obviously some guys like dez and Gordon you might have to wait until they are producing in season to get value.
No point acquiring RBs to compete when you are way of competing.
If you are determined to acquire RBs look for like said rookies or PPR guys who will have a long shelf life Duke, Chris Thompson etc...
