I am looking to add another RB lottery ticket to my bench.
Cohen is not going to be the feature back in CHI and I want to sell while his value is high.
I have two 1:1 offers out there (Cohen for Penny and Cohen for Royce) and the managers are mulling them over. I understand this is an overpay, but I am going to have to overpay on any deal I make in this league after finishing 2nd last year.
Who you got?

Re: POLL: Cohen, Penny, or R. Freeman
I voted Penny- I dont see Cohen as the lead back (RBBC at best) - I think Chicago goes with a RB to replace Howard.
Re: POLL: Cohen, Penny, or R. Freeman
I like cohen best of these three but penny probably has the highest ceiling.
Re: POLL: Cohen, Penny, or R. Freeman
RBBC is not a factor for me here as they are all likely on the wrong end of one. I understand that Cohen had a season that many believe is going to be hard to repeat, but Freeman and Penny had downright unmemorable ones. And I just dont see Cohen falling off as far as most people seem to. He is elite in space and has one of the best playcallers in the league who loves and understands how to use him. Penny and Freeman will likely get more opportunities this year but based on what i saw from them last year, i just cant say with confidence that they will do more with theirs than Cohen will do with his. I would hold Cohen here.

Re: POLL: Cohen, Penny, or R. Freeman
Agree that all are in a RBBC situation. I’d still hold Cohen with the hopes he can duplicate last years production.

Re: POLL: Cohen, Penny, or R. Freeman
They are all in similar situations but I like Penny in a gamble.
Re: POLL: Cohen, Penny, or R. Freeman
I'm all in on Rolls Royce! Buying wherever I can.
I don't get all the love here for Cohen. He was in a perfect situation last year to stack up targets out of the backfield with an RBBC including Jordan Howard. He's now got Mike Davis to contend with, and whichever mid-round RB the Bears decide to bring in (guarantee they pick one). Both of those options will be stronger in the passing game than Howard which should result in quite a bit of regression this year for Cohen.
Penny flashed last year and should get an increased opportunity. I'm a fan, but also a Carson truther. Something tells me Pete Carrolls love affair with Carson will always restrict Penny's ability to become a bell cow RB.

Re: POLL: Cohen, Penny, or R. Freeman
I dont understand why people think Mike Davis and a mid round RB are a significant threat to Cohens production. Did you not watch the games and see how he was used? Literally the only aspect of that offense that was overly successful was getting him the ball in space. Im not saying hes gonna have another RB1 season, some regression is to be expected. But with no turnover scheme wise and minimal turnover personnel wise i dont see him falling off a cliff either.

Re: POLL: Cohen, Penny, or R. Freeman
I think I lean Penny here. Not a huge fan of Cohen.

Re: POLL: Cohen, Penny, or R. Freeman
I agree, Cohen has the highest floor (I assume PPR) out of the 3 by a fair margin, and his ceiling is as high as Penny. Bears offensive is on the upswing after the first year under Nagy so I don't think regression for Cohen is a given.Zacsby wrote: ↑Fri Apr 26, 2019 2:18 pm I dont understand why people think Mike Davis and a mid round RB are a significant threat to Cohens production.

I think Freeman is going to be roster clogger/flex at best for a couple of years and then forgotten. He was outplayed by UDFA Lindsey starting in the preseason and that lasted all year.
Re: POLL: Cohen, Penny, or R. Freeman
Voted Cohen. I've seen enough of the pro tape at this point to be convinced he truly is the new Sproles. Except unlike with Sproles and his early career purgatory with the Chargers, Cohen has been drafted to a team that's already utilizing him the way the Saints used Sproles.
Penny has more upside. But Cohen is proven, Penny isn't.
Freeman is a distant third to both Cohen and Penny for me.
