J-Rob(+) vs. OBJ(+)

[Prison_Mike]

Team 2 in signature

I’ll be a strong contender this year. I’ve got a guy looking for a RB and inquired about J-Rob

Would this be a fair offer?

Give: J.Robinson + Mooney
Get: OBJ + 2.03 + 2.05

I’m hesitant to give up any RBs because it’s nice to actually have a little depth at the position. But Robinson is obviously a bit of a risk

I have no picks this year atm

[Gator Sens]

Even with Robinson having some risk, I would rather hold here. Beckham is not a great asset at this point and the 2nd's are not great compensation for what Robinson showed last year in my opinion. Pass as a contender.

As a potential contender, I think you need that 4th RB more than you need OBJ and the picks.

[krtbuckeye]

I'm not a huge believer in Robinson moving forward, even if he keeps the starting role, based on the fact that he was essentially fed more than any other RB in the league when he played. A 73% opp share for the year, good for 2nd in the league behind Henry, but spikes to 84% if you exclude the 2 games he missed. I just don't see that volume sustaining with a better QB and an Urban Meyer offense. All that said, I'd rather still Robinson in the event that he does keep a solid role and produces. I think Mooney progresses as well. I don't see a ton of upside in taking on OBJ any longer and the picks don't do much for me in 1QB.

The scales are balanced as far as value goes, but it really comes down to team needs. And as others have pointed out, it doesn't seem like you need OBJ with that strong WR corps. Is it because you have him in Team 1 and want to duplicate?

[DonBrazi]

Straight up, I'd take ODB over JRob. It has more to do with their respective risk profiles than anything else. But it also has to do with what we're all trying to do this early in every offseason for all time.. sell high on RBs while you can.

And because I don't really value Mooney, I'd muuuuch rather take the side with the picks.

ODB > JRob
2.03 > Mooney
2.05 > 0

I'd prefer OBJ and the picks, however, I'm still holding out hope for OBJ as a WR2- and not sold on JRob.

With this evenings news on JAX wanting to bring in comp. I take the OBJ side

Not at all trying to pick on you, Adam_172, so please don't take it that way. I just think it's important thing to highlight that this isn't 'news' in any real sense. Not in the traditional sense (ie. nothing has happened), and more importantly, this is something we should have built into JRob's valuation back in September of 2020; it's 'news' we already knew. If this 'news' changes your view of JRob, you're doing something wrong.

Always good to start a dialogue

I think the fact that JAX thought they needed to make it clear that the want to bring in an RB means they don't see JRob as the long term answer.

There is no 'news' of TEN, CAR, CLE, MIN, NYG etc. stating they want to bring in an RB on board as they all have elite RB's (fantasy or actual play). I think this 'news' should be taken seriously.

To play devil's advocate, all of the teams you listed have a capable/competent backup or #2 in their backfield.

JAX has one of the thinnest backfields in the league. Who's behind him? Ozigbo?-unknown; Thompson?-inconsistent/never healthy; Armstead?-missed most of the season IIRC; Dare-depth guy at best. They almost have no choice to add to the backfield. I agree that he's a risk, but this is largely dependent on the level of RB they add

However to your point, there are A LOT of people who made the exact point you just made on various forums in the dynasty community. So regardless of the implications of this report, it's going to effect Robinson's market value

[Anteaters]

I don't have much faith in Robinson maintaining his fantasy RB1 role long term, but I think he'll be a points producer for the 2021 season. Normally, I'd probably lean in favor or trading him for a fantasy WR2 who was not old. The problem for me is I'm lower on OBJ than almost anyone. I admit that may make it a me-thing and OBJ may not be as risky a player as I think.

But for me the answer would be no. Not "no do not seek to trade Robinson" - but "no, OBJ does not have more value than JR."

[Buckhill Bombers]

Mooney is no throw in either, I'd want Rob and Mooney here (and I'm not even crazy sold on Robinson)
