Is Burkhead droppable at this point? Was thinking about dropping him and picking up Ricky Seals-Jones

This is the place for team advice - should I make this trade, should I draft that player, etc.

Seems like Rex belongs on the waiver wire now. Tempted to pick up Jones. Ito smith and Chase Edmunds are also on the wire along with Taywan Taylor.

I’m going to be holding him personally. Your leagues look similar to mine in that RBs are a hot commodity and hard to come by.

He may be droppable in some situations, but I wouldn't for any of those guys you listed.

Dropping him is reasonable - he's overvalued. With only 1 TE, makes sense for you.

Assuming you don't have an IR slot, he may be close to droppable. But in your spot I would drop Richardson and a Defense for RSJ and Taylor.

Signature wasn’t quite up to date. I’m only carrying one defense now. Josh Adams may be a cut candidate as I picked him up as a long shot stash guy. Not opposed to cutting Richardson either. Burkhead will be possibly 29 years old by the time he plays again with Sony more than likely taking the Rb reins. Think it may be time to say farewell for the upside of Seals-Jones.

Yes. He’s overrated and always has been. In my opinion, if Burkhead was on your team you were hoping to get lucky. He’s always been a risk being a NE running back and the addition of Michel didn’t help.

I just dropped him. Not worth the roster spot. Sony will be more established by the time he's back. He was never good. Also Pats backfield is always a nightmare.

Agreed. I went ahead and dropped him this morning to pick up Seals-Jones. Going to take a shot there and hope Rosen develops some chemistry with him.
