Akers injury what do I do???

Postby Dlo21 » Thu Jul 29, 2021 12:40 pm

The team in my sig I felt had a real chance at winning the championship or at least strong contender. With Akers going down at my arguably worst position I feel like I need to make a move. In my head I’m thinking I have 2 options. Trade a stud WR for a stud RB, been talking to Derrick Henry owner. Option 2 trade for lower tier rbs and hope they work out. the owner of chase Edmonds/Damien Harris is rebuilding i have talks of a first round and some prospects for 1 or both of those lower tier RBs.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Again I feel like I’m a win now team, I do value WR for the longevity and want to keep them as my core, but realize I’m going to need a boost at Rb to increase my chances to win.

This is my 2nd season playing dynasty

I like the idea of having a bunch of good WR for long time and drafting RBs but I guess if that’s what I need to do to win I would

If you only start two RB's, I would see how Gaskin and Sanders come out the first handful of weeks before doing anything now. We still have to get through camp and the preseason. The last thing you want is to move for another RB now and he goes down before the start of the season. This is the offseason time frame where it is very risky to make moves for players you are hoping to start in my opinion. Injuries will happen in the coming weeks. Hold for now.

Way too rich for me. DK is a bona-fide stud and who knows how much Henry has left in the tank.

Try to move tmac for a rb would by my suggestion

Honestly the team looks good. I'd look to improve your te for a real chance at competing. My go to guy is waller for that. I don't like any of the trades you mentioned.

You have 5 solid rbs on your team already and you wrs are no slouches plus you have the best QB and probably the best qb2. Really all you need is to figure out a way to add one of Kelce, waller, kittle and you're golden.


I'd try to move tonyan, deebo, and something else for that TE.

DLFs trade analyzer suggests waller for deebo, tonyan, and a 2022 1st.

Fully agree here. I think you can get by as is, even with some pieces to spare to get a better TE. If anything, trade Akers for RB depth.
