Tarik. While I think his upside is limited, I think he has staying power as a RB3, whereas I think Collins is a short-term low-end RB2.

Collins. Especially in half PPR. Cohen is Tavon Austin until he proves otherwise. How many guys at that weight are relevant at the RB position?

I hold Cohen and would need more than Coollins to move him. I think Cohen will get good usage this year, especially in PPR formats and I will be using him as my FLEX play some weeks (matchup dependant) and I think if you hold Cohen as your RB3/4 you can't really complain.

Collins upside is limited, with the new WR options in Baltimore I don't think he'll get as many touches as people are expecting. Throw in Dixon and Buck Allen you can't be sure how much Collins will produce.

That's my two cents worth anyway if anyone is interested.

I'd take Cohen over Collins.

As an earlier post said, I don't think Collins is a long term option. Even if he keeps the lion's share of carries this year, I expect him to be usurped by someone sooner than later. I'd sell high on Collins.

Neither are good long term options, so take the better short term one in Collins.

This is where I am at too. Collins was the only good thing on the BAL offense last year hard to see him just fading away immediately

I had an offer of my Collins for Thielen/Tarik in PPR...it seemed that the consensus was that wasn't enough for Collins, or am I nuts?

Agree. The Cohen hype has gone too far. He has no chance to ever be more than a situational player.

Collins at least has the size, was a mega producer in college and has the current opportunity.

That’s an auto-accept IMO

Thielen> Collins+Cohen
