Arian Foster Owners...

Recommended Posts

What would you look for in a trade for him?

 

His value is reduced in reality, but in fantasy, hard to trade that #1 pick.

I love it - One hit wonder that has ruined more fantasy drafts than any other player in recent memory. Ya should have taken Peterson.

You got a great deal.

Although the thought of Whoopie nude just made me puke in my own mouth.

I'm trying to deal him for a Fitz type wideout with obviously no luck. At this point I hope he's IR's so I can confidently start Tate the rest of the way. I really wavered on Foster vs. Rice at 2 overall and I'm kicking myself for ignoring my gut in favor of "expert" projections. :wall:

I didn't take Foster. I'm trying to acquire him. Wondering what is reasonable to offer.

As a Foster owner it's too early to panic. I'm confident in my team(s) to get by without him for thwe short term. And yes when he gets back he will most likely be in a committee situation. But come playoff time (fantasy version) everything will shake itself out. But irregardless week 14 (cin), week 15 (car), week 16 (ind) there will be enough carries for the both of em.

 

So hang tight and he will pay off when it matters. assuming you drafted good enough to cover your asset. Which you should have knowing what you knew on draft day! <_<

I could have had LeSean McCoy for him before the Miami game but no longer. Its a keeper league so I'm not sweating it. Plus I have Tate so they can let Arian get good and healthy.

I have him in a pair of keeper leagues, so that's probably skews my perception of his value high. I'd want an RB who projects out pretty well for the rest of the year and the future--maybe a Mendenhall type--plus either a top-15 type WR (Holmes? Marshall?), or a major upgrade of my TE or QB. In keeper or dynasty leagues, really no reason to sell a beast because he's going to be on the bench or minimally used for the next 2, 3 weeks. Basically, all it means there is that you could actually trade for him, whereas before the season he was priceless.

 

In a redraft, it'd totally depend on the roster and the record. At 0-2, I'd be strongly considering moving him for an elite wideout or good-not-great RB who's healthy and has a cake schedule coming up. At 1-1 or 2-0, I'm probably not moving him for much less than what you would have paid for him week 1; I've already done okay without him in that scenario, and I know he can blow it up when he gets back.

I just traded Foster and Sproles for Calvin Johnson (Foster is also a keeper for one more season losing round 5) - I was happy to make the trade!

Foster/Tate owner here. I was just offered Andre Johnson straight up. I'm seriously contemplating it since I have decent RB depth (Team in sig).

I would take that.

That was me. Didn't pull the trigger, though. Can't get it out of my mind that the other guy sees something in Foster that he's willing to trade me Wells.

The league where I own him and Tate I am only getting reasonable offers if I am willing to package both of them together. Otherwise is all lowball stuff. Would rather just let him sit and ride Tate for now than take one of those deals.

How about for those of us who own both Foster + Tate do you think its reasonable to look for something like High End WR1 + High End RB2?

Don't panic on Foster just yet. I think he's a good buy low guy right now. He's definitely better than Tate! And when Foster is back 100%, he'll get majority of the carries. Kubiak isn't a RBBC guy. They'll probably do a 75/25 split once Foster proves he's 100%.

At least with Foster he'll play again this year.

 

J. Charles not only crushed fantasy teams but also the Chiefs. He was their last remaining hope to avoid 0-16.

I tested the waters with Foster an got no where. The rest of my team is pretty solid so t this point I'm tolling with Tate and hoping one or the other puts up huge numbers at some point.

Have been offered Fred Jackson for him and I own Tate as well. I'm tempted but it's a keeper league and I would hate to give up on him and then have him be the new Adrian Peterson the next 2 years.

Watched Belechick's reality show last night. He is VERY high on Fred Jackson for what it's worth... Sure looked good Sunday. Looked faster than I thought he was.

If you own Tate, I don't think there's any reason to trade Foster, especially in a keeper. Fred Jackson will probably produce over the next few weeks--his schedule isn't scary--but Ben Tate will too. Then, switch. You're in the best situation an owner of one or more Texans RBs could be.

I just traded for Foster, Tate and Henderson in a 15 team ppr

 

I gave Mendenhall, Graham and M.Bush

In a keeper league -- Arian Foster is about 25% of our TOTAL team cap (about the usual foundation for a 1st round guy) ...

 

I'd like to target him to just hold on to next year for Topper Rights...

 

I have offered Beanie Wells (cap rate about 8%)... haven't heard back...

 

I also have Dwayne Bowe I am considering offering... I think Bowe may be too much to give up for him right now, but not sure?

 

Any thoughts....

 

thx DR RB

I would laugh you outta the building if you offered Bowe for Foster.

I was a Foster owner (but didn't have Tate). Wednesday night, traded Foster, Ward, T. Young for Hightower, Helu, R. Wayne. Tonight I took Hightower, Helu, R. Wayne, and E. Manning and traded for C. Johnson (Ten), Ringer, R. Fitzpatrick, and Jacoby Jones. In essence, traded Foster, Ward, Eli, and Titus Young for Chris Johnson, Ringer, Fitzpatrick, and Jacoby Jones. I felt pretty good about that on 2 aspects: 1) When/if Foster is healthy it looks like some type of committee with Tate running as well as he has. 2) If Johnson has the midseason injury I've been reading that many believe he will have, Ringer has looked great in the carries he has gotten so far. Not too worried about a sharing situation in Tennessee; they didn't pay Johnson all that money for 12-15 carries a game. They'll run him till his legs fall off.

Not sure why ??

 

It was consensus that Foster was a top 3 pick this year -- he doesn't have a lot of "wear" on him. Again this is a KEEPER league -- I wouldn't be doing it for this year, but the future.

 

I like Bowe ok, but definitely NOT with Cassel or Haley... I see a very good upside with Foster (allbeit not this year) -- Bowe not sure -- their Salary Cap $$ is within 20% of each other...

 

Am I Crazy with this line of thought? :shocking:

 

LOL ... probably so..
