Sony Michel price check

[Dynastydumpsterfire]

Looking to gain shares of Michel. Another young Rb for one of my Wr seems like the thing to do. I also own 1.4 I. 2019. Any ideas?

[Patsfan86]

Full disclosure Im a Pats fan and Sony owner here so I LOVE michel and am biased but your Wrs are in a weird spot, they are either WAY more valuable than Michel or not even close to Michel. Maybe 1.4 and Baldwin as a start? That may get rejected but I don't think its a horrible start.

[Patsfan86]

Or do the opposite and trade K Allen for Michel +++ You are still stacked at WR there in a 2WR league

[briank]

I wouldn’t be interested in anyone below Thielen for Michel even with the 1.04. Maybe one of your top 5 receivers for Michel+

You got to make that sig horizontal instead of vertical.
Agree with some other responses on the idea of trading a WR for Michel plus.

Thanks. Done.

I have been a New England fan for 15 years. I love the team. However I say this to all owners who fall into the new flashy RB trap of the New England system. FANTASY RUNNING BACKS GO TO DIE IN NE! Don’t do it!!!! You will regret it in 2020. The last NE RB to have a top 12 RB finish for 2 years in a row was Corey Dillion.

Don’t buy Michel now. Wait until he wants more money and you start to see the trend of Billacheck moving away from him after he decided he won’t pay Sony as much as he is asking for and eventually he walks.

Sony is a super talented back, but he won’t produce long term in New England. Your betting against 18 years of history if you pay big money for him now now.

[Titans95]

Thielen or Julio straight up should get the deal done

But how often did they draft a RB in the first round during that span? I think Michel is the attempt to prolong the B/B-dynasty for a bit.

That’s is the point. Will a RB used to prolong the B/B dynasty be a top 12 fantasy RB? Not if he gets his points on the ground. Sony will need to continue to develop into a exceptional pass catcher to be worth anyone remotely close to Thieilin in the NewEngland system. Again, great talent, wring system. Until New England changes the system, Sony or any RB will never crack the top 12, 2 years in a row. This is just history, watch and see it again
James White only has the year he had because the offense was depleted of pass catching options for the entire season other than Julian Edelman. White has been in the league for 5 years and do people really think he had a “breakout” year? He was in the right place at the right time for season long consistency. Again, unless Sony can catch the ball and gather 50+ receptions, I just don’t see a top 12 performance for more than 1 year. New England moves on from their RBs once they being to demand more money.

And 2006, 1st round pick, Lawrence Moroney. Never had a great fantasy season insignificant after his 3rd year

This is excellent advice. The pats also do an excellent job of changing game scripts weekly. Michel will always be battling game script as well as the handful of other options in the backfield. As much as everyone hates it, Belickik has a winning formula and it never includes a 3 down back. I'd use this opportunity as a sell high, just like I would have with Ridley, Gray, Blount, Lewis, and anyone not named James White. Or hold him for the 5% chance Belichik completely changed his coaching philosophy...or retires this year.

I’m not sure they’ve had a RB as talented as Michel since Curtis Martin. With the injuries, he didn’t have the time to get worked into the passing game, but he certainly has the skills to do so. I think he will this offseason. That’s not uncommon for rookie RB. Look at Zeke’s progress in the passing game.

Also, this team isn’t led by the goat Tom Brady anymore. It’s led by old man Brady who doesn’t seem to have much left. They are going to need Michel.

Why are you set on Sony? I like him too but why not go after a higher name (Mixon?) with Julio or Thielen plus the 1.4

The better RB would make your starting lineup unstoppable

Can a mixon or dalvin cook be had for thielen and 1.4?

Don't see why not. The worst that could happen is that it gets declined
