I have Kamara in a league where I'm out of contention and thinking about trying to trade him for Mixon straight across to an owner that's contending. Half PPR league so Kamara carries a little less value than a typical full PPR.
I'd easily rather have Kamara especially since it's half-PPR
HWHAT?! easily rather have mixon, not close. if you can swap kamara for mixon do it now!

I think his real talent is as a receiver rather than runner. He'll really shine when Gio is out of the picture in one way or another.

I've seen enough of Kamara to realize he is a special player, one that regularly makes the some of best athletes in the world look average. He's a better all-around RB than his backfield mate, Ingram, right now. There are only a few players in the league that I'd trade Kamara for, Fournette being the only rookie RB I'd even consider. I wouldn't trade Kamara for 3 Mixons.

Wow... 3 Mixon huh? I’ll take 3 Mixon level players for one very good RB.

Haha for real. That's like saying "I wouldn't trade Kamara for CMC, Mixon, and Dalvin Cook."

If that's truly what ya believe, more power to you! I'll take the three RBs who may outpace Kamara on any given week.

I'd definitely rather have Mixon and probably even Dalvin, but I'd rather have Kamara than CMC... especially as long as Cam is paired with CMC.

Totally agreed but wouldn't you trade Kamara for all 3 of them?

Shoot, I will take Kamara in standard over Mixon. Mixon looks very good when he gets the ball and some space, but I don't want to wait around for them to get a line while a player with similar talent like Kamara is in a fantastic spot.
Mixon also seems to me like maybe he still doesn't get it, based on some in-season comments he made. Maybe I am just a little burnt out from my Zeke shares, but I am gonna break ties toward guys that seem less likely to get suspended.

ETA - didn't realize most of this thread was from a month ago.
Dynasty player since 2002.
I probably should have done something more productive with that time...

I see a special player in Kamara; I see a decent, serviceable RB in Mixon, overrated by many coming out of Oklahoma. My belief relates only to Kamara v. Mixon, not to the other rookie backs mentioned.

I'd rate them:
Fournette/Kamara
Hunt
Cook
CMC
Mixon

Time will tell, but I think Kamara plus the two additional roster spots will prove to be more valuable than 3 Mixons. Regardless, 2017 seems to have infused more rookie RB talent into the NFL and FF than most years.

He’s probably referring to when he said he wanted more carries during the Steelers game. He rushed 7 for 49 ish in first half and didn’t touch the ball in second half. Not a very egregious statement.

He was probably right. And if I remember correctly, I think he said all the RBs needed more touches that game, including Hill and Gio. So the comments weren't really selfish in nature and most would probably agree with them.

I agree. I’ve not seen anything that Mixon has done that would be considered problem behavior this season. At least, not that I can recall.
