Buy an RB or punt season?

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

Buy an RB or punt season?

Postby jwb32 » Sat Oct 20, 2018 1:51 pm

Team 1. Cook injury has me starting Ronald Jones each week. I have 2 early 2019 1sts and an early 2nd. I'm not a serious contender but at 3-3, playoffs are not completely out of reach. Kinda stuck in the middle. Do I burn my early 2nd on a Chris Carson, Marlon Mack, Duke Johnson, etc? Or do I pack it in and play for next year? Thoughts?

this is the same situation as me and i can't buy a RB to save my life...
to be fair, i am not going after Carson (just not a believer), but i had offers out there for duke, chris thompson, AP (though not a 2nd, since he is already dealing with an injury) , james white and ito smith .... i won the league last season and my WRs are outstanding (team 2) so i think others are afraid to give me the missing piece..

if you think you can contend, i would make the move .. this is about winning after all, and if you get in the playoffs, there is a chance to win the championship... as we have all seen before, the best team does not always come out on top..
good luck and let me know what trade worked for you

I think getting Mack for an early 2nd is a good move regardless of your RB depth or competing/rebuilding status.
Both are 12-team 1QB PPR dynasties

Id probably just hold and punt this season. I dont see the firepower to upgrade your RB position AND stay competitive elsewhere. QB and TE are alright. Love the WR that you start but depth is a little thin

I would not hesitate to move a 2nd for a RB that could help you. I would even move both 1sts too if I am getting a young, productive player that can help me right now. I am not super inspired by this upcoming class so if I can turn a pick into a proven commodity I am looking to do that.

Adding a low end rb2 adds nothing to your roster. I’m punting and looking towards 2019. Im not a Watkins fan and I’d look to move him to a competing team and try and add another first rd pick.
