Overpay for A Jones?

Postby Lazy Ass Mastermind » Tue Nov 02, 2021 2:27 pm

Team is in my signature. I'm 5-3, 1st place in my division, 3rd overall, and 5th in points, and thinking of making a run for it.

I'd like to add some RB depth, the only stud seemingly available in my league is Aaron Jones. His manager wants two 2022 firsts (both likely late) + Rashod Bateman.

It feels like a bit of an overpay and most trade calculators (including DLF) say that it is.. but if this is my only shot at strengthening my RB core, do I do it? Or do I stick it out with what I have?

Thanks

If you are all in, I think Jones is the way to go. The 1sts are late in a poor class and Bateman may or may not hit at this point and you are bringing in a top 7 back. The price does not seem too much if you are all in to me. Jones age plays a factor, but he is locked up long term with solid money.

Thanks man. Does the whole Rodgers saga worry you for next year and beyond at all?

Hard to say what happens with Rodgers. He said he would not play in Green Bay this year, yet here we are. Either way, Jones is a really solid back and could be even better if he was relied on more/got more touches and carries.
