TimHauck 1,789 Posted October 13, 2020 20 carries for 36 yards in the last 2 games and may have been overtaken by Jackson as the “starter” while Ekeler is out, and it’s not like Ekeler is even out for that long. I know he has some decent matchups coming up, but it seems risky to start him based on his recent performances. What’s everyone doing with him? Does he have any trade value?

Law 220 Posted October 13, 2020 Looks like it to me. Too bad to as I needed him. Looks pedestrian while Jackson flashed Eckler-like ability. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Based on your own testimony, no he doesn’t have must trade value. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well yeah I wouldn't trade much for him if I didn't already have him. Was just curious if anyone else saw value in him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,061 Posted October 13, 2020 He has some value as depth and an emergency start. Guys are only worth what they are worth compared to options you can pick up off the wire. If there are no better options on the wire, he’s worth keeping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
easilyscan 552 Posted October 13, 2020 Someone just dropped TY Hilton. Rightfully so I guess, he's done absolutely nothing this year. Although he did have 10 targets this week. If he clears waivers, I might drop Kelley & grab him. Regardless of which one I have, they'd be nothing more than "depth and an emergency start" as tanatastic stated in the previous comment.

AxeElf 787 Posted October 13, 2020 He has 11 PPR points last night if he's not tackled on the 1 yard line on a sweep from the 7, and he had another goalline carry that would have given him a monster night. It's looking like a true 1A/1B situation while Ekeler is out, so good luck figuring out who gets 20 pts and who gets 10 pts in any given week--but I wouldn't call him droppable in any but the smallest and shallowest of leagues. It will be interesting to see which of them, if either, retains value when Ekeler returns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawkeye21 1,847 Posted October 13, 2020 I traded Kelley, Landry and Helaire for Kamara last week. So far I think I made the right move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Shepherd 10 Posted October 14, 2020 Actually, I thought he looked pretty good when he got carries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dunno, I wasn't paying super close attention but to me it looked like most of the time he would just run hard for a few steps and then fall forward. Forgot he has a bye this week too, so for where I have him, "he gone" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Gladstone 33 Posted October 17, 2020 I’m hanging as long as Ekeler is out. He’s nothing special, but has a set role and is getting goal line carries. He would be the best back on the wire by far should I drop him. (I laugh loudly every week seeing suggested RB pickups. Mattison was drafted and has been rostered all year). All the cautious optimism from earlier in the year is gone. Jackson looked a little better Monday, but is also a JAG himself. Both of LA’s starting tackles should be back after the bye, which should help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrG 94 Posted October 17, 2020 I’ll take the goal line carries and hold. And hope Ekeler is a fast healer. Jackson’s been in the league a few years and really hasn’t shown he is more than a fill in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
