Khurtz Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I have a pretty good stable of RB's right now with Mitchell and Sanders slotting in higher for me than Williams. Should I stop streaming QB's and just go get Hurts? Slightly worried he'll get benched for being a terrible NFL QB but he's a fantasy god so I'm thinking I should pull the trigger. Thanks for the thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaft Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Nah, keep Javonte. Or get more for Javonte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephy Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 (edited) I would probably do it in your situation, though Javonte is a Gordon injury away from being an absolute monster. I'm sitting on him as well, and don't really feel the desire to part with him. Edited October 23, 2021 by Zephy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I traded Darrel Williams for him hoping that Javonte would have a breakout game and see a higher snap share but after watching that offense (and defense) completely collapse against the Browns I'm starting to worry.

I mean, this week will tell if Sanders and Mitchell have a good RoS outlook or not but I'm betting they both do. I appreciate you weighing in though : - ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
League_Champion Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I doubt Javonte will get you Hurts. Even though he sucks in real life he's a top 5 fantasy QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of agree and MG3 seems like the more trusted back, even though Javonte is getting snaps in all kinds of situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother has Hurts and Rodgers and he has already agreed to the trade and is ready to pull the trigger as soon as I make the offer.

squirrelmastr21 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I’d rather have Javonte. Mitchell and Sanders aren’t sure fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I get that, but I don't know that I need to stockpile 3 RB's that aren't surefire and pass up on a top tier QB option. For context I'm also 2-4 so I need to keep winning weeks and Javonte probably isn't helping me do that for the next 2 at the very least.

Why wouldn't you?? Honestly, it's personal dislike for Hurts and for the same reason I'm seeing half the people here telling me to stick with Javonte but I'm starting to lean heavily towards doing the trade as I'm seeing highly experienced fantasy players like yourself telling me I'm crazy for not doing it now : - P I was also kinda hoping either AJ or Julio would be out to make me feel better about downgrading Tannehill as I have a slight concern I'm going to drop him in a week where he goes off but I guess I could just make the trade and run Tannehill for just this week in that case. I appreciate your opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's another tendency I'm seeing that I keep undervaluing handcuffs until the injury happens and it's happened at a high rate this season, but it also feels like a flawed approach to keep trying to predict injuries and then hold up a spot that you could use for someone who is more likely to be valuable just because the value of the handcuff is higher. Not entirely saying Javonte is a handcuff because you could've still run him this past week and been happy with low-mid rb2 production but his ceiling is likely capped at mid range rb2 unless something changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least D'ernest Johnson would be an RB2 next week if Chubb misses so there's still a little potential value there. Mattison is tough since we KNOW for a fact that he's an RB1 if Cook misses because we've already gotten to see it. I don't blame you going after Melvin Gordon as he's still a playable mid range rb2 with, in my opinion, a slightly higher floor than Javonte at the moment. Second guessing yourself based on perceived outcome and trying to predict injuries is fun : - D  P.S. I almost took Chuba the week McCaffery went down but I left him on the wire because my brother had McCaffery and I felt bad snatching his handcuff. In the end I still got Chuba and traded him to my brother for Patterson so it worked out but I felt like a dumbass for being nice and not pulling the trigger on that.
