Derrick Henry vs Melvin Gordon

Postby mlynarcm » Fri Mar 16, 2018 9:01 am

Would you rather have Derrick Henry which a lot of people think will be a beast as the lead back (Low Current Value/High Upside) or would you rather Melvin Gordon who most people think is volume dependent and might not stay a lead back (High Current Value/Low Upside)?

Gordon for me. I'll take the proven guy over the one everyone keeps saying is about to breakout.

Henry is a FREAK athlete. He's a decent but totally unspectacular running back.

Gordon is a VERY good running back.

People have been saying Gordon won't be lead back much longer for 2 years now, I don't think he is going anywhere. I believe Henry will have good games inbetween games getting shutdown completely. Also Dion Lewis is a really good RB and so Henry won't get the whole backfield

Its tough.. but I think I would want henry.. I've just never been a gordon fan. He lets people down 2nd half of the year. Seems to be a trend.

Henry seems to keep letting his owners down, by being only a part time player! Seems to be a trend.

I like your rebuttal except for the fact that is all coach based.. Give them equal opportunity and lets see what happens. He may be a two demential back, but I want to see what the "Poor Mans" Adrian Peterson has to offer! lol

But like the thread says.. If its straight up Henry for Gordon then Gordon would be the choice. I would want Henry + good flex for Gordon.

I think Henry will be the better player, but I think Gordon will produce better for fantasy.

I've been trying to get Henry + for Gordon. 1 for 1 swap is clearly in Gordon's favor at this point in time.
