Edmunds vs Kendricks

[TUDL]

Edmonds is 23, Kendricks 29, but Kendricks puts put better #’s
Who would you rather have as your #3 LB? (We start 2)

If you only start 2 then the wire must still be pretty loaded. I would keep Kendricks as a safe plug and play option and then maybe shop Edmunds around, see what he can net you.

If you’re serious about Kendricks being your LB3, I’m guessing it is at most a 12 team league and a good chance it’s even less.

Edmunds is pretty much a replacement level LB in your league. You can find plenty of guys at or near his performance level. Kendricks has much greater value (which isn’t saying a whole lot since LBs in your league are probably about as valuable as Ks).

i don't look at age too much when it comes to IDP, unless we're talking about top of the line studs: their usage and value fluctuates a lot and there's always someone coming out of nothing and balling out (especially at LB). in a league that only starts 2 LBs, age is even less relevant, so if kendricks scores more with your settings, take him.

Thanks for all your thoughts. I did go with Kendricks.

Regarding LB value... We are a 10 team league starting 2 LB’s, but LB’s score 4 x that of PK’s with a delta between an avg backup LB vs an avg starting LB of 77%, compared to PK’s 85%. (DB 88%, DL 80%, TE 80%, RB 77%, WR 76%, QB 73%). Since LB’s score nearly as much as WR’s & RB’s and are nearly identical in scarcity, I would say they are much closer in value to RB & WR than PK. You might think this would be impossible, but it’s all based on scoring and starting requirements... we start 1QB, 1RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1Flex, 1PK, 2DL, 2LB & 2DB with rushing 3-4 OLB’s listed as DL’s. (You might ask how QB’s are most scarce in a 1 QB league... it’s because we penalize for poor play... sacks, INT’s and even incompletions take a hit. Sorry, got off point, just wish more played in this non-RB obsessed format. Feels like managing a real NFL football team).
