Barkley thoughts as he gets healthy

[FantasyRetard 49]

I kind of want to trade for him, and could give up some to get him.  Is he worth trading for?

I thought of trading Antonio Gibson plus something else for him.

Thoughts?

Would take a lot more than Gibson.  Not so sure I would pursue Barkley if I have a good ff team.

Booker has done well filling in for him. Barkley has a huge talent edge over Booker. Imagine what he 'could've done' in those games.

But that's the key, can he stay healthy ?

Don’t you think the closer the Gmen get to being eliminated that they will just sit Barkely? 

I do.  

[easilyscan 558]

That's possible. 

Isn't it also possible that they'd like to showcase his talent & maybe move him next March ?

Since his rookie year in 2018, he's only played in 20 out of 41 games.

Yea that’s also a possibility. 

Makes even harder to value him right now.

Thanks guys.  After reading your replies, I just think it's too great a risk.  I do have other RB's (Robinson, Carter, Gainwell, Darrel Williams, and Eli Mitchell).  I'm just concerned that Gibson's shin injury will worsen to the point that either they sit him or limit him to the point where's he's unplayable.

[weepaws 2,459]

I think that’s going to be the case with Gibson, he’s already in what looks like a RBBC with Mckissic. 

I just know if I own Barkely I’m not giving him up for a hurting Gibson.
