Rawls

[remy420]

Just added him. What are everyone's thoughts on the guy?

[jdacunha]

He looked average. I own him and he looks like another andre Williams.

[FiremanEd]

He's just a guy. Short term fill in, but not someone you will want to rely on long-term in any way. He just doesn't look like the type of elite guy you need to be to gain that stability at RB. Solid but unspectacular sums him up.

I own and would sell if I'm able if he gains some traction. Free value gain on zero investment, with little long-term risk of losing in the end IMO.

So you guys wouldn't throw a lot of WW cash in for him?

Edit... Changed would to wouldn't

[FiremanEd]

Amount of WW $ would depend on league size and depth. I wouldn't go crazy, but he could provide some short-term value, or trade opportunity to a Lynch owner.

3.5 Yards after contact this week. That's pretty cool. Worth an add in my book.

[RichDynastyFB]

I'm a Lynch Owner, and will definitely be adding him after this week, not because I believe in his long-term value, but as insurance. If I wasn't a Lynch owner I wouldn't be interested.

[joeday]

I'm thinking I may bid 30 bid bucks for him in my main leagues in signature. Thoughts?

[Dynasty DeLorean]

His metrics aren't the best and his draft pedigree isn't great either. I will say this, during the preseason I had the game on in the background and I glanced and the running back immediately caught my attention with his movement and the way he ran (in a good way), turns out it was Rawls. So I think there could be SOMETHING there... just not sure what tho.

^^^^^ This is why I spent a lot on my WW to get him. With Lynch being hurt and getting older it will make it a little easier to shop him to the Lynch owner.

What kind of return would you want from a lynch owner?

What kind of return would you want from a lynch owner?

Maybe a 2016 2nd. There is a decent chance Lynch missing some time and AFAIK they only have Rawls and FJax on the seahawks roster. He looked decent last week in his first real NFL action. Anythinng less than a 2nd and I would just hold and see what happens.

Lynch owner here... offered the Hyde owner Mike Davis and a 2016 fourth for Rawls to start the negotiation and was told it wasn't even close. I know fourths aren't worth much but at least Davis has a better pedigree. He was looking for multiple picks and a WR (the worst WR on my bench is Ty Montgomery).

I'm a Lynch owner as well. Prior to the dropping/trading of every other RB SEA had behind Lynch I tried to get Rawls and the owner wouldn't budge. I think I offered a 3rd at that time. Now that he got the lion share of the carries I could almost guarantee the guy would want way more than he did back then.. I wouldn't be interested if I didn't have Lynch so I'm going to take the wait and see approach and try to strike for a cheaper price when Lynch starts performing like Lynch does... hoping that happens and hoping that happens sooner than later.

FWIW I just grabbed Rawls and Vereen for hopefully a very late 2nd
