He was always going to be fine, it just hadn't been determined whether or not he would be limited--or in this case, placed on the PUP--for training camp or not. The dire implication, though, is that when people see Cooper being put on the PUP, they will start to overdraft Lamb. 1-2 months ago, you could get Lamb in the 6th, as like the 20th WR off the board, where he represented a tremendous value. In the last couple of weeks, he's been more like the 10th-12th WR off the board, and creeping into the 3rd round at times. NOW you're probly gonna have to pay WR8-WR10 price for him, which is really no bargain at all, and might even be a bit of an overpayment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snatchit 108 Posted August 4, 2021 I think Cooper will slip now and shouldnt, he and Dak have great chemistry. I will scoop up Cooper mid 4th and love it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snatchit 108 Posted August 4, 2021 I am in a keeper league and I have Lamb sitting there as an option. It would cost me a second round, and being from Dallas he wont make it back to 3.8... especially after watching him on Hard Knocks. I have planned on keeping Mixon for my second rounder. One thing to think of is, its a keeper league and I have a feeling Cooper may be gone in 2023 or Lamb is just dominating the WR core. Dak will always throw the ball a lot. What do you guys think ? BTW I have Cook is my 1st round keeper, if I hand cuff him... maybe a high floor WR keeper option for the 2nd round might be better and grab a #2 RB in the next few rounds. Sorry for my selfishness on this thread. I know this question should be on the other forum. Any comments Axe, suggestions ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry for my selfishness on this thread. I know this question should be on the other forum. Any comments Axe, suggestions ? Costing you a second round seems a little steep, or at least no appreciation on market value--in a 12 team league, you'd essentially be paying for the 8th-10th WR off the board, and I'd expect Lamb to finish around WR8-WR10, so, yay, you got what you paid for, no more and no less. I think you're right, though, that his value could appreciate in coming years, especially if Cooper moves on (but even if he doesn't)--but if it means he's going to cost you a first-rounder next year or something, I think you'd be hard-pressed to keep him another year, paying for that appreciation before it has even happened yet. So it might not make sense to keep him long-term, either--unless he really goes off this year or something. If you can continue to keep him for a 2nd round pick ad infinitum, then yeah, the future looks bright. Kinda sucks that you have Cook as your RB1, though, but I'm not sure Mixon is any more reliable. Holding both Cook AND Mixon seems like a one-way ticket to "Questionable" hell. But if you have no reasonable expectation of keeping Lamb beyond this year anyway, then yeah, Mixon is the higher-value keeper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is what I was thinking, I am nervous about Cook... but grabbing Maddison also helps. I try and not think about injuries too much... they all get them. Cook and Mixon as RB's will be strong. I think Mixon has his best year. I also have Dobbins as an option as a keeper. We can keep 2, which accounts for the 1st 2 rounds. Long term youngsters Dobbins and Lamb might be the way to go. There is about $12k in our pot by the end of the year. So its a win now thing, with thoughts of the future. Cook had I think 17 TD's last year, doesnt really suck to have him... like I said a hand cuff is a must. So now that I gave you more info, anymore thoughts ? Cook, Mixon, Dobbins and Lamb... keep 2 as long as you want for 1st and 2nd round. It seems that Dobbins could be a 1st rounder after this year and Lamb an early second. Not sure where Cook and Mixon will be. They both signed contracts last year and they both will be 26 next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree Mixon will have his best year--low end RB1--IF he stays healthy, and in Mixon's case, that's a pretty significant IF. I don't like Dobbins at all; he's in a 3-way RBBC headed by his QB, and he's being WAY overdrafted even in the 3rd round. So with an eye to the future, but without abandoning reason, I think Cook and Lamb is the way to go for the foreseeable future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, there are plenty of RB's I have my eye on that you can get in the 4th 5th round. Davis, Gaskin, D Harris, Carter... just to mention a few. Sometimes when you have a stud like Cook.. you can load up on top WR's and just need an average # 2 RB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd much rather have Davis than Dobbins. Gaskin will lose goalline carries to Malcolm Brown, and the Jets' backfield is hard to trust, especially once things don't go as planned and they have to start changing things up.
