Re: Austin Ekeler or John Brown (long term dynasty)?
Brown for me. I'm willing to give him a little more time. He's a free agent next year. Interested to see where he ends up.
I can certainly understand if some have lost patience with him, but if the alternative is Ekeler, I'll stick with Brown.

Re: Austin Ekeler or John Brown (long term dynasty)?
It's pretty close for me but I'd go with Ekeler since Brown has not been able to stay healthy for most of his career.

Re: Austin Ekeler or John Brown (long term dynasty)?
Brown if I had to bet. Eckler has looked good, but guys like him always come and go in the fantasy world.
Re: Austin Ekeler or John Brown (long term dynasty)?
I'd rather gamble on Eckeler. Brown is a replacement level player and provides little more than roster filler on a fantasy team. Unless it's a deep league, he's not better than a waiver grab.
If you can't leave at least a 20% tip, you can't afford to eat out.
Re: Austin Ekeler or John Brown (long term dynasty)?
Give me Ekeler. As someone who held on waaay too long and recently moved on from Brown, I just don't think he can stay healthy.

Re: Austin Ekeler or John Brown (long term dynasty)?
Smoke. His injuries are a result of his sickle cell and just a matter of finding the right mix of medication to manage.
I'll take the poor man's version of TY over the poor man's version of Woodhead.

Re: Austin Ekeler or John Brown (long term dynasty)?
If he could stay healthy Brown is easily the superior talent. Not sure he ever will but would gamble on him over Ekeler. He’s looked good in limited time but UFA who’s touches are limited behind Gordon.
Re: Austin Ekeler or John Brown (long term dynasty)?
That superior talent is the reason I have held on but man this dude just has every injury and isn't even playing!
Ekeler being a UFA may be the thing that makes me go with Ekeler. That is a very interesting point and we all know that NFL teams put a lot into draft stock.

Re: Austin Ekeler or John Brown (long term dynasty)?
Brown is the better player but can never stay healthy. Eckeler will be a poor man's Woodhead and I doubt he ever becomes the "main guy." Doesn't mean he can't ever have some flex value though.

Re: Austin Ekeler or John Brown (long term dynasty)?
Both have upside. Brown I think has more talent but injuries are significant. Ekeler I think has a shot to be a solid role player, but also has a chance of being washed out in a season or two.
