Nabb Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Just wondering if others are feeling a sense that ODB is about to have a meltdown and might ruin his season. You think this is a time to trade him now (to get value now) before he's suspended (or something) or is there a bit of overreacting to his terrible game against MINN?

Cowboyz1 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 What do you mean about to. The guy has already skipped off the reservation. Teams have figured out the way to stop him is to beat him up and piss him off. He has no emotional control. I see it getting worse after they lose to GB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilthorp Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I think other owners would low ball you. Stick with him and hope he grows up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1fastdoc Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I have the option to get him for Green or Evans. I would have taken it in a heartbeat a few weeks ago but now I'm not so sure. Other defenses are going to just push him until he snaps. He'll make mistakes and get even more unstable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other defenses are going to just push him until he snaps. He'll make mistakes and get even more unstable. I would give up Evans for him but not Green (yes, people, I know I said I was down on Green this year... blah blah blah). That said, if we are talking about the lineup in your sig, are you really going to start both him and Shepard? Risky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabb Posted October 6, 2016 Author Share Posted October 6, 2016 My RBs are dreadful, and I was just offered Melvin Gordon. Normally I would say no, but my concern is ODB going off a cliff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boltnlava Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 This is the second year in a row this has happened...What happened after his meltdown game last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorttynaz Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 The OBJ owner offered him to me for Evans/Cobb. I threw a tantrum and acted like a 12 year old boy - then respectfully declined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripleshot Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I drafted him in the first round of my half point ppr office league and paired him with Eli (mainly because Carr and Big Ben went off the board right before I eventually picked Eli). I figured they'd score some points together. Now I'm offering Eli + OBJ for half of a warm, flat, Diet Coke and getting no takers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin_Akie Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Sticking it out. If he has a big game this weekend then I might consider selling a bit higher than he is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wpob Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Buy low if you can. The break out is coming. I would never trade Beckham for Melvin Gordon. Ever. I would have traded Evans in a heartbeat for him. He will still finish top 5 for the year. Don't bail now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelredd9 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Odell started out slowly the last 2 years and then went gangbusters in the second half of the season. Last year in the first 7 games, he had 42 catches, 524 yards, and 4 touchdowns. In the next 7 games, he had 85 catches, 796 yards, and 9 touchdowns. In the last 9 games of 2014, he had 81 catches, 1,199 yards, and 9 touchdowns. Even with his slow start this year, he is still on pace for 88 catches and 1,212 yards. If a rest-of-season draft were held today, I'd still draft him top 3. Buy low, don't sell low. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheMan_5 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 He hasn't been a stud, but he's really only had 1 bad game. His TD's will come. I'd be surprised if his numbers don't improve going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tebby Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I'm gonna try to buy him low. He's a punk but a very talented one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mile High Magic Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Picked him 3rd overall. Really wish I had gone with AJ Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AoDay Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I was trying to trade for OBJ and get Evans from another owner. Evans is on a team that is near tied for last place in points allowed per game which is forcing Jameis to constantly throw in comeback situations (TB ranks 5th in passing play %). He has little competition for these situations as VJax is no longer in the progression, Humphries is the possession receiver, and Brate adds an option down the seams but can't stretch the field like Evans. On top of that, if you're already in the process of trading for playoff matchups, then TB (31st in pts allowed), is playing against NO (32nd in pts allowed) in weeks 14 & 16 (2 of 3 fantasy playoff weeks). Evans is leading the league in targets while OBJ is pulling double coverage and opening opportunities for Shepard & Cruz who are very talented and similar receivers. Manning isn't an inexperienced QB and will always run through his progression very quickly instead of focusing on his number one receiver compared to someone like Jameis. Evans is what DeHop was last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doobwaa Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I think the team is growing tired of his attitude ... and cant blame them. seems like all he cares about is himself - hell he practices one handed catches lol. that being said, I don't think id trade him at his lowest -- let him have a great game (which he's bound to have sooner or later) then move him if you don't want to deal with it.

Practicing one handed catches is all about him? Because a WR never has to try and catch with one hand in a crucial game situation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it turns into a media frenzy, so much so that his warm up catches make it on ESPN? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure other WR practice circus catches in warm ups but don't get put on TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
