sanders or jacobs?

[grandmabetty]

I'm thinking about going after one of these players for team in signature below. I have jacobs in another league. I like both but I really want a piece of sanders. Currently don't have him in any league. Offered melvin gordon and my 2021 1st for sanders. No response yet. Guessing he will decline or counter

My question is what are your thoughts on bkth players long term for dynasty? Both impressed in their rookie season. Who do you have ranked higher?

Sanders because he can catch a pass.

Until Jacobs does that he is an overpriced RB2 masquerading as an RB1--as much as he may be the better runner

There is a thread in the Player debates about this exact topic. I prefer Jacobs. People forget Jacobs was an excellent pass catcher in college. The Raiders specifically said they didn't want to put too much on Jacobs plate year 1, and that he'd be more involved in the passing game this year. The Raiders are going to use him a ton. Jacobs is the better runner, and I think he'll be used like a true bell cow. Don't think the Eagles will ever use Sanders like that, and they shouldn't. He should still be a back end RB1 or high end RB2 for a few years. Like both players but Jacobs for me in redraft and Dynasty. I just have a bit more confidence Jacobs will be utilized more in the passing game than Sanders becoming a really good early down runner, and I also believe the Raiders will utilize Jacobs more than the Eagles will with Sanders, based on years of observing the two coaches tendencies.

Sanders > Jacobs for me.
