Gus Value

Postby RoyalPalmer » Sun Aug 29, 2021 10:21 am

As a Dobbins owner I'm getting ready to stomach an overpayment for Gus Bus.

Dobbins owners, what you are offering? Gus owners, what are you asking?

I'm leaning towards a 2022 2nd (midish) and a roster player (Edward's owner in our TE premium has TE issues so maybe Hooper).
12 team, .5PPR, 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 2RB/WR/TE, 1 SuperFlex, 25 Total (Startup)
QB: Purdy, Penix, Zach Wilson, Hendon Hooker, Aidan O'Connell, Stetson Bennett, Trubisky
RB: Bijan Robinson, KeAndre Miller, Tank Bigsby, Jordan Mason, Kevin Harris
WR: Malik Nabers, Brian Thomas Jr., Ladd McConkey, Jameson Williams, Rashod Bateman, Khalil Shakir, Michael Wilson, Darnell Mooney, Kadarius Toney, DJ Chark, Slayton
TE LaPorta, Kincaid

2025 1st
2025 2nd
2025 3rd
———

QB: Josh Allen, Goff, Darnold, AOC, Jimmy G
RB: Mixon, Kamara, Javonte Williams, Charbonnet, Prince, Jordon Mason, Ingram (AZ)
WR: Ja'Marr Chase, Keenan Allen, Drake London, Brandon Aiyuk, Elijah Moore, Marvin Jones, Paris Campbell, Donovon Peoples-Jones
TE: Kincaid, Noah Fant, Likely

2024 2nd
2024 3rd

12 team, .5PPR, TE Premium, 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 2RB/WR/TE, 1 SuperFlex, 25 Total (Startup)

I see zero chance somebody isn't brought it. Gus's role will expand a bit, but not terrible much is my prediction

A 2nd seems like fair value to buy but I'm guessing most owners will push for a 1st thinking he could get a ton of work. Hard to say if that will happen or not. I would not overpay as of now.

A contenders 2nd is fair but I dunno if folks are selling for that. No way I'd pay a 1st. He's not going to the THE guy even if Dobbins is out for the year. You can find similar production from other middling RBs that won't cost you a 1st.
Team #1: 12-Team - PPR - *SF* - 4pt Pass - IDP
25 Roster + 5 Taxi | QB, RB, 2-WR, TE, SFLX, 3-FLX | DL, LB, DB

QB: Burrow - Lamar - Kyler
RB: Ekeler - Saquon - Gainwell
WR: Amon Ra - Hopkins - Godwin - K.Allen- QJ - Hollywood - Diontae - Shaheed- Wandale - Woods
TE: Kelce - Engram - Ferg - Chig
DL: Hunter | LB: Okereke | DB: Bynum
'24 Picks: Late 1st, Early 2nd, Late 2nd

Team #2: 12-Team - PPR - *SF* - 6pt Pass - TE Prem
25 Roster + 5 Taxi | QB, RB, 2-WR, TE, SFLX, 3-FLX
Team #2 (0-0)
QB: Murray - Allen - Winston
RB: Cook - Saquon - Mattison - Hull
WR: Diontae - Tyreek - Lockett - Higgins - Chark - TMJ - Kirk - Dell
TE: Ertz - Engram - Mayer
'24 Picks: My 1st, 2nd, and 3rd

My bigger point is Gus is not going to be the man. He will still be sharing and have a similiar role.

If he is sharing with bums like those, he is the man

I think he's going to be the 2 down bell cow. Won't be the third down back, but I think he's going to get 250-300 carries barring injury.

I think he is going to be the man, on early downs. He's a good back, and the best that's available to them right now, including what's out there as a FA. 250 carries minimum barring injuries.

I'm view this as his situation as well.

I would only get him if its a mid late 2. I feel like a proven guy will get traded for, someone cheapish with real production history like a Marlon Mack. I don't think Mack fits for them but that type of player.

I thought he was worth a 2nd before the Dobbins injury. If you can get him for that now, I’d be suprised.

x2. He went for a mid 2nd in one of my leagues (not to the Dobbins owner) and that was a month or so ago.

I would think he is worth a late first to a contender in need of RB help now. Especially when you look at a lackluster 22 class.

I can’t believe some of these thoughts of Gus and his value. He is a highly desirable piece even before dobbins injury. 700+ rushing yards every season he’s been in the league on limited touches. Over 5+ ypc and got $10 mill tender this offseason. Why on earth would the ravens not utilize him? Hahaha and to think a team with Gus would trade him right now for a 2nd is hilarious. I don’t see that happening at all. I wouldn’t have traded my shares of Gus for a 2nd before dobbins went down. These types of posts make me wonder if people are kidding or something.
