Salvon Ahmed

Postby dvpkwys » Wed Nov 18, 2020 7:53 am

Anything to see here? Snagged him in one league. Didn't watch any of his runs - looking for some insight.

A rookie RB with a starting spot is almost always worth an add. Most likely he's not a long term answer, and he benefited from some massive holes this past week. I think mostlikely him and Gaskin split when Gaskin comes back (earliest week 12), but no one really knows. If he started getting Gaskins receiving work he'll have value.
Dynasty player since 2002.
I probably should have done something more productive with that time...

Looked good. Lots of questions and I think the chances of long-term value are very slim, but he looked good out there.

I'm blowing a ton of blind auction cash on him. Unlikely a better free agent shows up at a key position.

You could copy and past the posts from the Myles Gaskin thread here. They're very similiar players in a very similiar situation.

This coaching staff appears to want to have one guy get the bulk of the work so I wouldn't be shocked if Ahmed has another good game that he keeps the job. Or at least gets a shot to keep it.

The way they have used a bell cow approach makes me think this will be a great landing spot worth watching in the NFL draft for a RB.

1. zero long term value
2. should be an RB2 as long as he's starting and thus worth a large FAAB bid
3. the real takeaway from the success of Gaskin and now Ahmed is that you want to target the MIA RB next year

I grabbed him off waivers in two league where I am I rebuilding and added a 3rd to him to move to a 2nd, one trade for 2022 and one for 2023. Scope him, flip him and move on about your day.

Non contender here - Would you flip him for a third on a ten team league? Or can we ask for a bit more?

I got a couple "lololol, what?" responses since I just signed him to a 4 year deal in my contract league... $45, $1,000 cap.

Complicated league, but essentially we're allowed 1 free buyout occasionally, and I'll have that option this off-season. I figured I'll just take the shot, and it'll become obvious by the 2021 draft on if I'll need to buy that out likely.

So, here's to hoping he breaks out! (In reality probably just a flash)

In my 10 team league, guys like this go for 3's. Every league is different though. How active is your league with trade talk? I just text every contender to see what market is for him, but this a friend's league, I understand that might be viewed as annoying in other contexts.
