Virtually Jacksonville's entire roster is getting a chance to prove it before they start rebuilding. If Robinson plays like this all season I seriously doubt Jax looks for someone high in the draft with how many holes they currently have to fill. He passes the eye test each week, I'm not sure his price is going to get lower.

Especially if *when* they upgrade their QB.

James Robinson and 2021 4th round pick for Cam Akers

Robinson has officially entered 1st round draft pick territory in a 12 team league.

So far my best offer is a single 2nd from a guy who has two 2nds and a massive hole at RB lol

Saw a guy on Twitter that traded Juju straight up for Robinson

Well I pulled the trigger on my first for Robinson.

Full PPR. No IR. My roster is below.

1qb, 1rb, 1wr, 1 te, 2 flex, 1k 1 def

QB - Ryan, Tua
RB - Swift, McKinnon, Vaughn, Breida, Saquan Barkley (IR)
WR - Odell, Keenan, Diggs, Sutton (IR), Brown, C. Davis, Samuel, Pittman, Slayton
TE - Kittle, L. Thomas

I’ve done it in the past for less valuable than Robinson in order to go for the gold in season. However, a first this year for Robinson might end up resulting in you getting to use him until the league is cancelled in week 10. I would have to be very confident he retains value beyond 2020.

Congrats to all those who have held to this point.

Yea... looks like I won’t be buying

Sharing my own post from another thread. It's full PPR and I lost Saquan and Sutton, but still have a very strong (albeit thinner now) roster so I traded my first for Robinson. I just wanted to compete this year, feel like he's worth a low first, which if it all works out is where my pick will be.

I'm 3-1 at present but having trouble fielding a decent starting RB and going 1rb/3wr; was going to have to figure it out between McKinnon and Swift and with Mostert coming back figured now was the time to pull the trigger.

Maybe I'm the sucker, but I'm going into it eyes wide open. This could fail, but I'm taking a shot.

EDIT: Just thinking out loud but it's always tough for me to trade a first for a guy I grabbed off waivers just before week 1 in a different league. Still.

This is a perfectly fair point, and one I honestly didnt consider until after the trade. Well, technically it hasn't been accepted yet but its in her inbox and she said she would accept. I'm not going to pull it back now.

Plot twist. She rejected it. I still would have done the deal.
