I'll respectfully disagree with this take ^ I think there are several teams that Drake could get moved to in which his fantasy stock would jump up significantly. He may never be a work horse but he has a lot of upside in ppr. I've also never been too high on Penny

Does anyone think Myles Gaskin could get moved into the RB rotation if Drake does get traded? The guy who evaluates RBs on this site had high praise for Gaskin, so hoping he gets a look

Walton would be the first beneficiary if you consider playing for this team a benefit.

I'd grab whatever member of the backfield is cheapest. Chances of a hit are low but no reason not to grab a share if you have the space.

I’ll second this. Time to stash Walton if he is available and you have a league where you have the space to do so.

Drake value

Depends how thin the benches are I guess, but I would avoid dropping him if possible. His value is at an all time low right now I imagine.

I own him in a shallow roster league too (19 spots including DST & K)

I would trade him before cutting him. Even in a league like that someone will pay something for him
But as mentioned above you'd be selling (or dropping) while his value is at an all time low

I personally am holding and hoping he gets traded. If he doesn't, he'll be a free agent & I can't imagine anyone who has the option would stay in Miami lol

Agreed, he's likely to get traded and then his value changes drastically. The talent is sort-of there, but the opportunity is the worst in the NFL. Opportunity can change, always bet on talent.

really depends on how short the benches are and if you need the spot for someone who is more productive.

You're basically hoping for a trade. I don't understand why a team like Tampa isn't interested.

Why would they? Tampa will finish with 2-5 wins this year. Why give up draft capital for a mediocre RB on an expiring contract?

Honestly, KC should be going after him. Their RB's are having trouble staying healthy. Get rid of shady and grab this dude. He's gotta be cheap and still only 25. With his pass catching skills, he could be dynamic there.

That's me and this is what I am hoping for.

BUT, I do not think Gaskin is a long term starter/stud. I think he's a Phillip Lindsay type at best. I'm hoping for a chance to make some noise, and then to trade away for a 2nd at worst, late 1st at best. Again, this was my dream going into every draft with the 4.12 pick -- trade him away once he gets exposure.

Walton is the next man up, though. He's got a good pedigree and I think he'd do OK, but his main issue is staying out of the press with his off-field issues. I dunno...

I'm not buying Drake anywhere though. No way.
