Fantasy Fiend

Looking for some collective feedback & perhaps some Washington homers to weigh in. Most standard sites have him somewhere in the top 10, mostly ranging between 7-10. His preseason performance has been nothing special to say the least, his maturity & progression appear minimal when avoiding the big hit or sliding to avoid yet another setback. I understand the new offensive system challenges, but where do you guys tag his value??? I know the more recent articles about potentially starting Cousins are unrealistic considering what they have invested in this guy but where is his floor vs. his ceiling??? Is he the idealistic boom or bust, risk vs. reward pick based on his physical attributes, upgraded receiving core, etc? Vs. his continued struggles, poor performance, and potential injury setbacks based upon his playing style??? I can't put my finger on his true ADP or auction value in a $200 league due to the uncertainty around this guy....?? Thoughts? Feedback and insight would be immensely beneficial!! What say you???

Appreciate the feedback fellas.....I think it's clear I have to kick-off the year with Cutler and see how RG fairs as the year progresses.

Agree with the majority here....let it go. I had a commish flat out decline a trade a few years back bc it appeeared heavily lopsided and the assumed "loser" of the trade would have benefitted significantly better had the trade been allowed. Let folks take risks unless its completely ridiculous and screams collusion.

I think it depends on your RB1 & RB2.....If your really solid I would gamble on Hyde. He has played well and if Gore goes down I genuinely believe he is Top 12 potential. If your starting RBs are shaky then perhaps I lean towards Hill for more immediate production and consistency, albeit average at best IMO.

Yea that's the way I was leaning but got him in one league paired with Cutler as I held late on QB and that's all that was left.....will probably roll with Cutler out of the gates and see if RG can catch up with the system and perform as a top 12 QB.

Everyone can't resist the huge upside on Gordon if his suspension is less then anticipated. A great gamble in late snake round or $1 auction value....lets get the verdict already.

Currently Gordon followed by R. Randle.

Cheers

Got him today in $200 league for $1 .......well worth the risk..even if he doesn't play it's a keeper league so it's a win win.

+1

Had Forte, Marshall, Alshon last year .....made it to the championship and lost when Cutler threw a dud vs. the lowly Eagles defense.

I hear ya and there is a 99% chance your dead on......but every now and then there is the one player where the bidding stalls prematurely....unlikely I know but just need to make sure not to budge over $20.

Well.....what were the results here???

Throwing him up in the first round of a $200 auction league and if I can grab him for $20 or less I am all over it.....but won't take the risk for a $ higher....huge risk...huge reward.

Lol ....spell check at its best...

Gotta love Hyde this year.....especially in keeper leagues. Huge upside for next year....

Great feedback....

This.... Only concern here is Bell, first offender so expect a slap on the wrist. See R. Rice - knocked out and dragged his wife and got a 2 game suspension. Steelers punishment may be more harsh then that of the NFL.

Forte .....

Listen I hear you and as a Dallas homer you probably have much more insight so appreciate the feedback. My thought however is that if the Dallas offense can't level out the porous defense or if Romo's back acts up and the season is over early ....that I wouldn't be completely confident that Randle would be the complete lead back for the balance of the season. Considering their salary cap issues I think resigning Murray is an issue....so I think there is a chance they could mix and match a bit to evaluate overall RB talent. Note I have Murray as a keeper so hoping beyond hope he retains his health and transitions into a top 5 RB...l

We always rent out a portion of a bar......Must haves: priority #1- Wireless connection to accommodate all league mates, beer, real food vs. god knows what your friends may bring to a house draft, $$$, beer, can't hurt to have some nice "servers" to distract league members and provide a nice break from the laptop vision....beer, more $$$, more food...forget pens and calculators lets move to this century and rock excel, have your $$ template ready and adjust as the bidding commences...., more beer, more $$$, take advantage of the late rounds and then shut down and head into the bar.....hence more $$$, more beer, and rip your league mates on their roster.

If Murray goes down....especially in a contract year, I would expect a solid RBBC split to analyze potential RB replacement moving forward, especially if Dallas falls out of playoff contention early...

This^

Agreed......Tim Tebow coverage all over again. Pathetic

Charles, Bell, Morris
