Phat Rugby Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 I think West has the best chance to succeed between the two. I am going to spend a lot of my budget on him in one of my leagues. Of course, half my original starting lineup in that league ended up getting injured, so maybe you should stay away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doobwaa Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 West will likely demand 50%+ of your budget  Davis, if available, will likely go for 20-30% of your budget  West seems to be in favor with Reid ..... altho has less experience.  Davis has some history and has filled in admirably over a stretch for Charles in the past ...but apparently is kind of in the doghouse.  Im going really hard after West in one of my leagues where I am 4-1 and drafted zero RB ......I put in a lesser bid (but still substantial)for Davis....  risky - yes. But landing a starting RB with upside in week 6 ? could put me over the top, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 In all cases, I don't believe in West and won't be making any push to grab him. I think it's a waste of money and nobody should go too deep in their pockets, even in the deepest of leagues. Of course, if you're are absolutely desperate, that's different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigD13 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 this year I think there is a lot of desperation in the RB category.... got to be in it to win it! Let's see: I've got L. Murray and Martin, who are both on a bye. K. Williams is still in concussion protocol. That left me with J. Hill and Abdullah. Dropped Abdullah for West. So yes, I am pretty desperate. Just hope the fantasy gods take it easy on me this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolphin_Akie Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Was not able to pick him up on any waiver attempts in three leagues. As a consolation I was able to get Lafell in two. Could easily turn out to be a better pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Def. Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Blew my blind bid load on West in two leagues. Owned him since week 1 in two others. Â Bid more then he goes for in all the other leagues in the Ladder...lose to the Chief's homer in the one I'm in. Bastard! Â By chance, do you want Kniles too?

Inziladun Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Lol, I picked up Kniles, traded him to the west owner for David Johnson (return yards league.) Considering I was the one that traded him David Johnson in the first place, I ended up getting Todd Gurley, and Steve Smith Sr. with only losing Keenan Allen. I'm happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BA Baracus Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Snuck in some Buck Allen pickups under the cover of the West hype. Also just went and FA added De'Anthony Thomas in a dynasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darin3 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Grabbed him in a deep dynasty league where I could certainly use some help. I am usually fairly lean on in-season reactionary adds, but this one seemed like a no-brainer. This is two blown ACLs for Charles, and West seems like a diamond in the rough. Â Knile Davis has been very good in spots when needed, but West's skillset matches Charles' closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Brown Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Not sure why so many are down on West. Every RB pickup is going to have it's risk. I can see him busting but there hasn't been an available free agent RB with this much upside all season. Â Â Can we get this thread up to 60 pages? West already has six times as many carries as Christine Michael this season and that thread is a ten pager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
