purplemonster Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) I like Chubb a lot. He did really well with not a great OL in Cleveland and the credible threat of throwing and potentially being ahead in games with a solid D for Cleveland would lead one to believe he'll be grinding out a lot of games. But he also has a pretty nice talent in Hunt coming back in week 10. I think without Hunt he's an easy 1st round selection in a 12 team league but not sure how to value him with Hunt. I'd say drafting Hunt as a cuff is likely advised if you do. If one goes down the other becomes very valuable. How high would you draft? Early 2nd?

loaf Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 yep, early 2nd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 In my recent drafts, he's gone 2.08,2.08, 2.08, 2.10, 2.09, 2.09, 2.08, 2.11 and 2.12. Wow. That is some consistency. I have never drafted him. I think Hunt's impact will be felt right when you need Chubb the most. I agree - no Hunt and I would want Chubb in the first round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplemonster Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) You don't see many in season trades but also I am not sure if Cleveland would consider Hunt as a bargaining chip. They haven't seemed to eager to get rid of Duke Johnson which makes me think they likely won't. I am not an expert on in season trades though. These things are hard or impossible to predict which is why when in doubt I prefer to draft the best athlete rather than the setup. The problem is both are pretty damn good. We are talking two perhaps top 5 RB's or close. Edited June 24, 2019 by purplemonster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is hunt going in those drafts? So, with luck there is no injury and chubb does what he did last year for 10 weeks. We will need to hit on some upside mid to late round rb's to compensate for the potential dip with timeshare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunt is even harder to value in my view, no value thru first 9 weeks (2/3 of fantasy season) then he will be somewhere between Duke #s for last half of 2018 and his own numbers for 2nd half of 2018.

I agree with Steve on this. You can't worry about Hunt. Chubb is clearly the lead back. He's an absolute beast. The way this offense runs, Hunt will be the complementary back. Duke's job till then. All in on Chubb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I ask is I'll be drafting in the second half of my drafts and I'd really like Chubb. I'll try to pick up Hunt but I am not going to overpay either. Coming back that late in the year is never a guarantee of much and by then I expect Chubb will be having a good year Edited June 25, 2019 by purplemonster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
