1.12 too early for Henderson

[zoster80]

As a contender that owns Gurley (Zo Nasty below) and RB needy is 1.12 to early to take Henderson? My next pick is 4.12.....

Also would you consider Singletary, Harris or Hill that early? I see Henderson ranked at 16 so that's not much of a reach, but I know the others are deeper into the 2nd round.....I am a big fan of drafting BPA, but in this league trading for RB's are hard and I'm kinda being blackballed.

Another possible option is to get some depth and trade the pick for the 2.07 + 2.11 and possibly another piece or pick...do you think the mid tier RB's will be around at that point?

[ColdZealDonkeyStrike]

Im surprised Singletary is rated that low. I'd be more inclined to take him than Hill or Henderson, even if I had Gurley.

[Goddard]

I don't think I'd take any of those guys that early.

[Gator Sens]

I would probably trade back and try to get some running back depth or trade the pick for an established RB. Your team is really good but your RB's are in need of upgrades.

[ItsHandsomeDave]

Given you only have to start two WR's, I would probably look to move one of those WR's for a RB

Agree with this, even if you have *have* to accept $.90 on the dollar.

As for this pick, I absolutely think Henderson should be in play. One of the best offenses in the league, with little draft capital, TRADED UP to select him in the 3rd round, right in the range of Montgomery who is a near-consensus top5 pick.

Yes, the current situation isn't ideal with Gurley's presence. But it wouldn't surprise me if Henderson was fantasy useful this year even with a "healthy" Gurley - that offense is that good. He's also the premium handcuff in the league now, and offers lots of long-term upside if Gurley's health continues to trend down.

I wouldnt be against taking Henderson with 1.12 to protect my investment in Gurley

I'm working the phones...not getting any bites...I've tried 1.12 for ingram, 1.12 for D Williams, a 2020 2nd that escalate to first for Miller. I've tried trading up, the issue is that since I've won back to back and they see my vulnerable, people are shying away from trading with me or they what short change me on my WR's who I won't sell off for young RB like Guice (unless they add something more established)

What I've done the past few season is mid season I'll grab a stopgap like Crowell or Collins.

I usually start 3 WR's, and with injuries and by weeks, I like keeping four top guys. I've been offering up Julio, Evans and Allen to everyone...basically hopkins and Juju are the only guys I've set off limits...the issue that I can't see my self moving them for garbage I get offered. Everyone says the same stuff, you can only start 3, you are wasting points on the bench, but at the end of the day they aren't points in their lineup and I've been winning with the crappy RB's I've got, so unless I'm getting fair value I rather go "Zero Rb" then send one of my studs for guy like Freeman or Mack...I wish guys like MCC, Gordon, Chubb, Mixon, Kamara, Elliot or Cook were available to me...those guys are owned by contenders who won't want to make me stronger...or pretenders who think they have a chance.

At this point I gotta try to organically draft an RB2 and hope they get a break....Like Ballage and Foreman who are on my team now. This is why I'm considering reaching for an RB at 1.12.

I get the logic, but you're still keeping 5 top guys instead of 4.

You're right that you shouldn't trade someone like Allen for Mack / Freeman / etc. But you can't trade Julio or Evans for someone like D. Johnson?

You might also want to broaden your search by including Hopkins or JuJu - if that's the only way you can land a top RB stud, I'd do that in a heart beat. Otherwise, you might have better luck packaging a WR and RB for a RB and WR so that it keeps the other team's roster more balanced.

That's not early @ all. I have 2 leagues where he has gone 1.5 & 1.6. Especially if Im a Gurley owner concerned about his arthritis in his knee.

[crip7300]

I think it is a reach when considering bpa but I can't blame you for wanting to take him there. I personally would try to move back to give myself more dart throws, you can probably pick up 2 of Henderson, Harris, Hill, Singletary, Armstead, or Darwin Thompson at 2.07 and 2.11. I also agree with trying to move one of your WRs, even if you have to take a bit of a loss to secure a strong RB 2 option. I wouldn't be so bullish on not trading Juju or Hopkins, they are probably your best way to get a young stud RB, something like Hopkins and 1.12 might get you CMC or Kamara to a team with WR need.

[saw061600]

It's probably too early. In leagues where RBs are overvalued I've gone, somewhat by default, zero RB draft strategy because I'm drafting BPA. If you really want RBs, trade back for more picks and grab several "could be an injury away" starters like Snell, Armstead, Love, and Williams.

Of course, if you really believe Gurley is in trouble, Henderson becomes one of those "could be" starters.

[kickzizlife]

If i was in your shoes id take henderson there for two reasons. first off you have no other pick till 4.12 AND secondly you have Gurley who you'd be hedging if you select Henderson. nothing wrong with reaching at this point.

[Fantasy>>>Reality]

Too early for me
