Is Binge worth the 2.06 to a contender?
Posted: Wed Apr 25, 2018 1:06 am
I’m gritting my teeth as I type this, but I’m actually considering moving my 2.06 for Binge. Team in sig. Lost in the title match last year. Hoping to contend again. Binge owner is up against it with our 1st/2nd year player rule. He only has Trubisky, Jonnu and Hollins and doesn’t pick until 3.02. He also has five of his seven WRs (Landry, Parker, Carroo, JMatt and Binge) on bye in week 11, so under the circumstances, he put Binge on the block for a 2nd.
I’m really not a fan of Binge. He’s slow, unathletic, inefficient and pretty old for a guy only entering his 5th NFL season (he’ll be 28 before the season ends). As a longtime Sammy owner, I’m also more than a little hesitant to willingly buy back into the Buffalo passing game.
But at the same time, simple math dictates that there’s always a price at which damn near any player becomes a value. As low as I am on Binge, he’s still a guy on a team who is likely to get 120ish targets this year from a QBTBD. If he stays healthy, I think he could catch maybe 60-70 passes for 800-1000 yards and awkwardly stumble into the end zone 5-7 times. Realistically, that’s almost certainly going to be better than whatever I get from the 19th rookie pick (we award a 1.13 pick to the “toilet bowl” champ).
What say you, DLF? Would this move provide me with some worthwhile, back-end depth at WR, or am I better off throwing a dart on a mid-2nd round rookie and hoping to luck into the next JHow/Kamara/Engram? As it stands, I told him that as long as the two QBs I like are still there when I’m OTC at 2.06, I’d almost certainly make the deal, since I know he won’t take a QB there and I can still get one of them at 2.08. But god, the idea of seeing KB on my roster every time I jump on MFL is just really unsavory. Can you guys either talk me into this or talk me off the ledge?
