RaiderHaters Revenge 4,281 Posted October 25, 2017 Debating on trading him as his ROS is tough and he's been getting dinged up a bit. Was gonna offer him for Ingram straight up as I love ingram ROS its not that crazy both are top 10 RB1's ROS I prefer Gordon cause there is no Kamara behind him, and the Chargers, really really really want to try to run the ball Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BobSanders_33 127 Posted October 26, 2017 Would not fault anyone for selling high on Gordon. I also love the Ingram ROS. I'm sure every owner that traded Gordon down the home stretch last year was happy to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tanatastic 2,062 Posted October 28, 2017 I want to play in your league. Hes one of those lucky clowns whos draft picks always pan out and hes never had to make any real roster moves or decisions. The first one he does he botches. Its hard to explain to people how you can win at FF but still suck at it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_T 743 Posted October 28, 2017 It's a redraft not a keeper I dont mind the decision to trade him as much if it is a redraft league. You probably could do better than Ingram, but if he has a better schedule than Gordon, there is a decent chance this could turn out to be a wash. As you are an Ingram fan, maybe that's enough for you. Part of Fantasy football is cheering on your players, and if you love Ingram, it makes sense that you would want him on your team. personally, I dont like to make trades for the sake of making trades, but there are scenarios where I would make this deal. Probably the scenario that best justifies a deal like this would be if you already have players on the chargers (ie. Rivers or Keenan Allen) there may be value in diversification so that your teams fate isnt tied to that of the Chargers (who as a whole isnt a great team) Either way, I cannot recommend the deal, but if Ingrams Schedule is substantially better than that of Gordon, (and I'm telling you I have not checked on this) I wont recommend against it either. The one thing Ingram has going for him is that he plays on a stronger team and will get more garbage time carries than Gordon will. But that should already be taken into account with the YTD stats. If you make the deal, good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimaveli 119 Posted October 29, 2017 I love Gordon. But Ive been thinking the same things (trading). I wanted to trade him for Shady and something but Shady just had the 2td game so I was too late. Ingram is another target but Id want Marky Mark and something else, so maybe Id come up blank there as well. Honestly, I kinda want to see Melvin Gordon play one more time before I decide what to do. Hopefully he stays healthy and gives us a fair shot to keep or move him during his bye! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully he stays healthy and gives us a fair shot to keep or move him during his bye! Why do you think Ingram is worth less than Gordon? I'd move Gordon for him in a heartbeat. My guess is the Ingram own wouldn't bite. Everyone knows Gordon is a weekly injury headache. Now his foot is bothering him? Hard pass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NAn 39 Posted October 29, 2017 Yes. Okay hindsight aside, before today.... First 4 games, 0-4 64rush/168yds/2tds 13recs/97yds/1td Next 3 games, 3-0 63/226/1 16/151/2 1. nearly as many rushes in 1 less game, while winning 2, more recs in 1 less game, while winning 3. 1 more TD in 1 less game while winning, but actually note STILL getting TDs even when losing Think Bolts coaching staff has realized have to get ball in Gordon's hands including running ball in general and they've been winning doing so, so likely will continue He's getting TDs, losing or winning I say keep him.

jimaveli 119 Posted October 29, 2017 We also cant get so far into the spreadsheets that we forget that Payton hates Ingram. Ideally, the playcallers in Charger-land will touch their chins, think really hard, and come to the crazy conclusion that all of these Gordon-less packages arent really all that great for them.

dcgangstas 41 Posted October 30, 2017 Exactly. They just won't commit to the run. Exactly. They just won't commit to the run. And that's what is so ironic. Johnny Lynn had the most run-heavy offense in the NFL in Buffalo last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
