TimHauck 1,749 Posted October 23, 2020 Anyone else think he is/was a sell high candidate? Past 2 games he's had under 4 YPC, although his receptions have bailed him out. He's also had just about 20 touches per game, so I feel like there is a chance he could wear down as the season goes on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed. But sale high for what could be a better rb1 isn’t a bad ideal with Robinson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goggins 146 Posted October 26, 2020 Robinson was ranked 6th in ppr before this week. Who would you be trading him for? Kamala? Zeke? Jones? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I probably went "against expert FF thinking" and traded him & Rodgers for Russell Wilson. I offered Rodgers & Drake and he countered with Rodgers & Robinson. I was hesitant but went for it as I had gotten burned the prior 2 weeks at QB (Burrow & Rodgers combining for less than 10 points over 2 weeks). I have a good stable of WR's where my Flex will likely always be a WR and Taylor & Swift in addition to Drake, so figured 2 out of the 3 RB's should be decent (of course Drake has now gone back to sucking with Taylor on bye) while upgrading at QB. I liked Robinson, but didn't really think of him as a possible sell-high until I looked closer at the offer. I'll admit this thread was a little bit of me trying to convince myself I made a good move... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buttmonkey 8 Posted October 26, 2020 I was a knucklehead and sold "high" on Robinson back in week 3 - I traded Crowder and Robinson for Robert Woods (pull PPR) - yes, I am a idiot 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,418 Posted October 26, 2020 I think trading Robinson for Taylor, a good move, but I’m sorry, trading a rb1 without getting a rb1 in return , usually isn’t a good move. Robinson had a great game yesterday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DEEZNUTS 18 Posted October 26, 2020 Why sell at all? I get that the playoff schedule may be tough but he's performing like a stud RB1 and really doesn't have competition for reps. The team is bad, but not bad enough where they'll be out of every game - and even if they are, he's a good enough receiver to stay involved. I was lucky enough to grab him when Saquon Barkley went down and he's performed much better than anticipated as a replacement. I'm holding unless someone blows me away with an offer, which I don't expect to happen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

An owner should always try to buy low and sell high. In any competent league most owners are aware of fair value, and trades only get made when there isn't a buy low/sell high scenario. If someone wants to give me Davante Adams or D. Hopkins for Robinson sure I'd sell, but since that isn't going to happen why trade him for lesser value.

I mean it's more about what you project to happen the rest of the season, hence you can try to sell low or high if you think certain guys will improve/decline after you trade them. While Robinson was/is having a solid season, some may have concern if he'll be able to keep it up. So his value based on what he's done so far may be more than you think it will be ROS. Obviously people have different opinions on some guys and that's part of the reason why trades happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get what you mean in that respect, that selling high is like dumping a stock you predict might depreciate in value. But selling a low-end RB1 for a wr2 isn't really selling high either, its selling at expected cost... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LoOnAtIk 75 Posted November 2, 2020 I think the main thing comes down to Jaguars being a small market unknown team. Their offense isn’t terrible for fantasy purposes, but ultimately I ask have you watched the kid play? He hasn’t looked bad at all, in fact I’d say he looks pretty great. No reason to think he can’t produce similarly to what Fournette put up last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't go as far as saying I regret my trade yet, but it certainly felt a lot better having Taylor and Swift a week ago (I do also have Edmonds at least in addition to Drake)... The guy I traded him to basically ended up flipping him for CEH... Not sure how that will work out either Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nobody 2,023 Posted November 2, 2020 What I don't get is why anyone cares about stats from a non-ppr league. That's the vast minority of leagues.

My opinion had nothing to do with how I had them ranked, it was how they had performed the last weeks up to that trade taking place. Thanks. He was out-touching Taylor even in those weeks prior. Sure, the trade is closer in non PPR, but it’s still an L. Taylor’s value was struggling in weeks prior and now it’s completely nose-dived off a cliff. Only 1 game in last 5 with over 79 total yards. My biggest concern with Taylor is how slow he looks. No way this is the same guy who ran a 4.39. His run style is similar to leveon bell he’s slow and patient at the line so it feels almost like the 4.39 speed is worthless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
