bfros 53 Posted September 21, 2020 I grabbed D.Freeman when I saw Barkley go out. Was immediately offered Josh Kelley for D.Freeman. Do I take Kelley or hold Freeman? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Law 220 Posted September 21, 2020 Hmmm, one guy who's not even on a team and might go to one the worst teams to likely be part of a 3-headed RBBC or a guy who is already getting 15 touches a game in a run-heavy offense as the 1b to Ekler's 1a. Tough call. #notsomuch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bfros 53 Posted September 21, 2020 I hear ya. my counter thought is that DFree could end up the lead guy. I don’t think it’ll be a RBBC or he won’t sign. He wants to sign where he’s featured and will get touches. DFree is as good or more talented than Kelley. And Justin Jackson will be back soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AxeElf 787 Posted September 21, 2020 Keep Freeman and drop another couple of active players to pick up Jay Ajayi, Christine Michael, and Josh Gordon. You just never know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bfros 53 Posted September 21, 2020 I suppose (Fournette) the idea that a RB without (Fournette) a team could get picked up (Fournette) by a team with established RBs and be (Fournette) fantasy relevant or hell take over (Fournette) as lead back is unheard of.

It's very rare, and Fournette would not be an example of such. Fournette is an example of a castoff RB signed to be a backup RB who benefitted from a good matchup when the lead RB was benched for "fumbling" when Brady banged the ball off of his shoulder pads so hard it flew four yards forward.

weepaws 2,452 Posted September 21, 2020 I don’t think Freeman really wants to play, he’ll sign not because he can be the rb1, but simply someone paid his ransom price. I would keep Kelley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bfros 53 Posted September 21, 2020 He wants to play but he wants a real contract. And he wants to be lead RB. Only downside to the Giants is that he knows it’s a one year thing and that’s it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,452 Posted September 21, 2020 Ok no problem, but I disagree. I think he wants to get paid as a rb1, or beyond that much, he’s not going to sign cheap. I think he would have been with the Jags with the right price tag. But you see it differently, and there’s nothing wrong with that either. Good luck with your decision, and thanks for the question.

I don't know why you asked, every one of your responses to these guys' answers seems like you've already decided Freeman. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bfros 53 Posted September 22, 2020 Was just playing devils advocate to what seemed like a polarizing set of responses. That’s all. I respect the differences of opinion. In all honesty I’ll likely do the trade and take Kelley. I see the upside of Freeman but hate the downsides of the situation w the Giants. Just wanted to talk it through. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Law 220 Posted September 22, 2020 Still like Kelley over Freeman. Hey, I'm an FSU grad. I LOVE Freeman! He runs hard. But, that's part of the problem. He gets hurt. From week 4 on he should be the guy in NY, but it's still the Giants. They are not good. They have good receivers, maybe a good QB, but a bad line. I just don't see Freeman as a substitute for Barkley. But at least now there is clarity...you know it's Kelley as the 1b in LA and Freeman as the 1a in NY.
