The thing I see with Cohen is opportunity. He looked like he was being targeted a lot in the first game and this will only continue I feel.

White, Wheaton, Meredith are either injured or on IR so the opportunity will only continue.

I drafted him in the 6th round of a 12 team PPR league with a taxi squad. he is currently sat on my taxi squad and have people after him already.

In my main dynasty league we have real cash waivers and he went for ~ $75

[Reljac]

wow, sounds like a lot, I assume its PPR. Whats the yearly buy in?

$150 annual buy-in. $50 of that is put into a 10 yr prize pool. $100 + all waiver transactions (cash bid + $1 pick-up fee) put into the annual prize pool. It pays out pretty handsomely if you place in the top 3.

I agree with this. One of the things that drew me to Cohen over the summer was that past Jordan Howard there was very little talent on the Bears roster at the RB position. The Bears drafted him before a bunch of more highly ranked RBs...Joe Willaims, Jamaal Williams, Jeremy McNichols to name a few.... so they obviously saw something and had a plan. IMO this wasnt a case of a team drafting a player and then being surprised by his unexpected ascension up the depth chart. Now with all the offensive injuries, it only increases his value IMO. Whether Cohen can stay healthy enough be a viable player long term is a concern. But for the price i paid for him.... a late 4th, two 5ths, and a 6th round rookie draft picks and two waiver claims across 6 leagues, im as happy as a pig in poop about week 1. In a league where not-so-electric RBs like Theo Riddick and James White can dominate defenses as pass catchers out of the backfield, a guy with Cohens ability in space could be nearly impossible to defend (although this could be somewhat mitigated short term in that the Bears have so few offensive threats that opposing defenses could key on Cohen).

I drafted him in the 6th round of a 12 team PPR league with a taxi squad. he is currently sat on my taxi squad and have people after him already.

That said, i have received exactly zero offers for him across those 6 leagues.

Well count me in as a believer just paid a late 1st for him. He will easily be a PPR RB 2 and I believe finish as a late RB.

Welp... good luck sir!

Oh my. I hope this one works out for you, but I have a feeling you'll be looking back on this and wishing you hadn't done this. Time will tell.

I'm debating that offer... since nothing else seems to be able to get it done. I might take the plunge. But I actually think it may not be accepted.

[ColdZealDonkeyStrike]

I wouldn't trade him for less than a 1st.

[petebusey]

Trade him away yesterday in a 1.25ppr RB league.
Cohen
For
18' 1st and 4th

...starting to think I may regret it.

You likely made a very handsome profit in a very short amount of time. Nothing Cohen does going forward should leave you regretting this trade. Enjoy the nice play and move forward!

Hmm ... I see that could be read differently than intended. How about:
No matter what Cohen does going forward you should be happy with this trade.

(hope that sounds better)

I just joined the club... Traded a 1st+5th for Tarik Cohen+3rd+3rd. I honestly think he can have a top 10 finish as a PPR back this season if they keep using him like they did in week one, and with all the injuries to their receiving corps they almost have no choice at this point. My biggest worry is injury, especially since... I already lost DJ. So fingers crossed.

You cant be sure its a late first. It's week 2.... So much bleep could happen, causing a lower looking team to prevail.
