Fantasy Football News and Rumors

Problem is right now doesn't look like selling high after Rapofucks "report."

At a minimum I could trade him for Guice or Jeffery. Would you do that?

Think his value is only going down, just as it said in the tweet. Work a trade sooner then later.

If the market is slim pickings that's your call to make, what you feel is fair value, but if I'm losing a RB, I'd want one in return.

When do you have to decide your keeper?

 

[SteelersPride]

Who else do u have as keeper options I wouldn’t trade for guice , gamble for gamble. And gurley upside is higher

Report: Cam Newton has begun throwing a football

Wow, I never thought I'd see the day where he could actually throw a football.................wait...............is it like Jamarcus Russel throwing or Aaron Rodgers throwing?

I don't care about position. I have Chubb already.

Don't have to decide until August, but by then he'll be doing a light load in training camp which should hurt his value.

Yeah I don't possibly see this decision getting any easier as the season approaches when it comes to Gurley. He's not going to do shit in training camp and he's not going to play in any pre-season games except maybe like 2 series in the 3rd game, so you aren't going to have any more information until week 2 and by then it's too late. That's the problem with the way they all treat pre-season now, you just gain no information anymore. It's like the regular season weeks 1 and 2 are the actual pre-season now.

Here's some facts.

Gurley only played 14 games.
Yet only 2 other RB had more PPR points. (372.1)
Only 1 other RB had as many red zone chances. (45.6%)
Only 1 other RB averaged more touches per game (22.5)
Only 1 other RB averaged more total yards from scrimmage per game (130.8)
Apparently he did this on an already bum knee.
​

Let's suppose Gurley only gets 70% of the touches he got last season.

He'll still project to have 15.8 touches per game and over 260 fantasy points.
He'll still project to average 91.6 yards per game.
Assuming he misses 2 games and a 70% workload drop, he'd still project to have almost 1300 yards.
​

Now maybe these 70% numbers are depressing? But he'd still be a very fantasy relevant RB (top 20 based on last year's RB numbers). And 70% is a significant drop. He could have more. Sadly, he could have less.

After reading some of the posts, I'd say you have one group who believe that even a limited Gurley will still be a top RB on a top offense. While the other group believes Gurley's value will continue to drop.

If your'e in the first camp, it would be gutsy to keep him and then try to trade him after a good week. (Rams open @Carolina.) If you're in the other camp, it may be depressing to trade him for virtually nothing, but it has to be done if you believe this is destiny.

That's a tough one; Jeffery has burned me for so many years, I wouldn't touch him. Guice is interesting, for sure.

But if he scores 20ppg for 70% of the season and then 0 down the stretch that doesn't really help me.

Can that knee take the punishment of a season? Signs point to no.

 

[eaglesnut]

Who else are options

I guess Luck or Rivers. 6 pt tds and -4 for turnovers, but QB is so deep.

Do u hve to keep players? I would keep gurley he may bite u. But the upside is still too immense. It’s a gamble but it’s not ur return of guice is not also a gamble

Meh if it’s arthritis, and truly arthritis

I have to keep 3 and I also traded away my 1st round pick(4.13).

Guice could be a keeper for the next 4-5 years. Gurley won't be so I think the upside is in Guice's favor there.

My team has aged, I had Gurley/Julio/Brady for years. Would be nice to move forward with Chubb/Guice if Guice can be that guy.

They drafted love for a reason, kee that in mind. And guice ia no guarantee to be healthy and back to himself , who is unproven

Because Chris Thompson gets hurt every year.

Again, guice is hurt, and has done nothing yet.

 

[SteelersPride]

Gus Edwards trims his body fat percentage He still weighs the same in true Gus the Bus fashion, but Edwards is trimmer and looking to be more versatile after being a LeGarrette Blount-type early-down bruiser for the 2018 run-heavy Ravens. Edwards faces far more competition for snaps with the additions of Mark Ingram and rookie Justice Hill, so he's going to need to build on his strong rookie year again this summer.

He got hurt early. Plenty of time to recover.

Lots of talent there.

Treff is on a cruise right now in the Mediterranean, so he's probably not going to respond. I think he's actually on the cruise with Gus Edwards, Alfred Morris, and Tyler Boyd
