Trade evaluation

[SteelersPride]

Gonna have a tough RB choice every week...

this week?
Mixon @ Pit (have him in now... just thinking semi shootout)
Ingram vs Cle (have him in now... another multi TD game? risky...)
Fournette @ Den (like the volume, not sure this is a good spot... CBS does)
Shady @ Det (easy 4th option...but could easily have the biggest day)

PPR
Mixon
FOurnette
Ingram
SHady

Non PPR
Ingram
Mixon
Fournette
Shady

I would probably bench Mixon of all those options.

Cincy sucks and they have not been able to run at all. With 3 other quality options, I am benching a Mixon until he shows he can do something.

steelers have been awful, mixon should get a ton of catches, RB's are catching balls against them

Pats had 99 rushing yards
but gave 10 RB receptions for 97 yards as well

hawks had 151 rushing yards 1 td
4 catches for 30 yards

49ers had 168 rushing yards 2 tds
5 catches for 71 yards

steelers have been gashed one way or another by rb's

3rd most points allowed to RB's behind only the vaunted
dolphins
bengals

Bernard has been getting the passing down work.

I am fine with playing Mixon this week, just not ahead of any those other options.

FWIW Mixon and gio both had 3 targets last week. And gio has had 2 targets, 3 targets, 3 targets by game.

And Mixon was nicked up.....

On devils advocate.

Woods is a huge drop off from Evans.

Woods looks like the odd man out in LA. He will have splash games because he is a good player. But Kupp and Cooks are Goff’s go to targets.

Evans is a truly elite WR. Maybe not as consistent as somebody like Julio, but the numbers will be there at season’s end.

Disagree. He's not a "huge" drop off. It's a lot closer than you think. Evans is better, but within the context of the trade the dropoff isn't big enough to reject it for that issue alone.

Last season, Evans finished 9th in WRs while Woods came in 11th (1500 yards, 8 TDs vs 1200 yards, 6 TDs with some rushing yards and a rushing TD). The year before Evans had 1000 yards, 5 TDs and Woods had 781 yards 5 TDs in 3 less games. Woods does have a tendency to start a little slow though but in 2 of the 3 games the Rams have played this year, he's still had 8 or more targets which is around the average he's gotten every year he's been with the team. That history makes me lean that his numbers will come around this year.

Based on last season it wasn’t a huge drop off.

Projected outcome for this season sure is.

The Rams offense does not look as dynamic early on and Woods’ role is clearly less with Cooper Kupp back.

Evans on the other hand has overall WR1 upside in an Arians offense that loves the vertical passing game, where Evans is at his best.

I would be willing to bet that if both players play a full season there will be a 15-25 spot gap in end of year WR ranks for these two. Maybe even more.

Need 5 points from Mixon. 5!

C'mon man!
On bench...
LF ...24
Shady...14
RJ...14

In lineup...
Ingy...7
Mixon...???

Shepard (bench) outscores Hopkins + Sammy.

Unbelievable.

Looks like you got your points.

But bench Mixon moving forward!

The Bengals have no shot running the ball behind that O line.

You'd think I'd know... Half of them are Bills cast offs. Don't know who the hell is running things in Cincy.
