jtztdm 2 Posted October 3, 2022 Patterson went on the IR today and I am left with no good rb's. Was offered Jacobs for Lamb in a ppr . I still have 2 good wr's if he goes but not sure if its worth it? Any help is appreciatted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_T 596 Posted October 3, 2022 I like jacobs a lot more than his ADP showed. I'll say that much. He was being drafted in some leagues as a low end RB2 or in some cases even as an RB3. Ceedee is putting up WR2 numbers right now and may or may not move into WR1 territory like hes been in the past. Not sure on Prescott's status at this time. They say he cannot yet grip the ball in one report, but then another says they are eyeing a week 5 return. not sure the two reports fit together all that well. I'd bet he sits another week. Jacobs is likely in RB1 territory based on current stats and the monster week he had this week, but I expect him to finish as a high end RB2. That said, if you need a RB in a bad way I dont know that you have better options. if you have other good WR maybe this is the deal. without looking at your whole roster, its tough to say for sure.

All summer you talked about how much you liked Jacobs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_T 596 Posted October 3, 2022 FYI, the sharks in your pool also smell blood. you may get a lot of terrible offers. this one isnt ideal but its not as horrible as what I'd expect you would get. if in dire need of a RB, I'd probably think about this.

weepaws 2,478 Posted October 3, 2022 Based on what you said OP I would do it. Who else do you own at WRs and Rbs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_T 596 Posted October 3, 2022 Just now, weepaws said: All summer you talked about how much you liked Jacobs. I did. and hes had a couple so so games and a monster game. sample size is too small still but I like the guy. for sure hes worth more than his ADP was this year. but thats not the issue. the question is whether hes worth more than CeeDee Lamb. a WR1 in the past (likely overvalued a bit) whose starter is now hurt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jrokh 569 Posted October 3, 2022 I would counter with Jacobs and a WR3 with upside like a Doubs or London type. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think hes giving up a bit more than fair market, but hes also in a tough position. it may make sense to overpay a bit in the situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is also this. you can ask for a throw in. if he doesnt give you one, you can likely go back and accept the original offer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weepaws 2,478 Posted October 3, 2022 I would take it, if the Zeke is best you have , I would take it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_T 596 Posted October 3, 2022 3 minutes ago, weepaws said: I would take it, if the Zeke is best you have , I would take it. and you have sufficient depth to cover up that loss. given your need, I think you gotta take the deal. I dont mind the idea of asking for a throw in, but at the same time if he gives you one, you gotta open up another roster position to make room for the new player. a 2 for 1 deal is never truly 2 for 1 because you need to drop someone anyhow.

AxeElf 787 Posted October 3, 2022 24 minutes ago, Ray_T said: Ceedee is putting up WR2 numbers right now and may or may not move into RB1 territory Axe Elf dead lead pipe lock guarantees that CeeDee Lamb will never move into RB1 territory. But at WR13 currently in PPR scoring, he only needs to outscore Chase by 0.2 fantasy points to move into WR1 territory. It is a BIT of an overpay, but needing the RB, I'd probly swallow hard and take the offer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have fixed the typo. thanks for pointing that out. and yes, I agree, The OP probably need to swallow hard and take the offer. I'm not sure a better one is coming.
