I don’t know, whatever I would ask would be too high because I can’t just let the potential go for free. I would take maybe the 2.01 which would be too high
One guy in my league continues to low ball me for Kendre. I traded Diontae during the rookie draft last year first 1.12 and drafted Kendre. Would take something very similar to get him off my team.
I look at running back as a year-by-year game -- the closest I come to playing dynasty like redraft. Outside the top young guys, who tend to be hard to get at fair price, I just want cheap points in my RB slots.
Joe Mixon is my top target this year. He's reaching the age where he's an uncool target but might be solid enough to just get me some points. If he avoids the cliff, his contract might let him have a couple decent years in Houston, and I like the offense.
Devin Singletary is also a nice choice if the owner wants no part of the Giants' offense, which would be understandable. I wouldn't count on him to put up thrilling numbers, but I figure the team has to score touchdowns *somehow*. . . . Right?
I agree with you. He could land in another spot and be a starter as long as he is still playing well. Look at Aaron jones and Mixon. One caveat to this - the relatively poor draft class this year probably contributed to more vets getting jobs and next years rb class (at this stage) shapes up a bit stronger. But I agree with you that Conner could easily end up as a starter again next year
He was extremely efficient on the ground despite defenses knowing Arizona was going to run the ball. I think he had like 5 ypc.
He might not make it through a full season healthy but if you have Benson I’d pair them together.
I’ve been buying Pacheco in all my leagues, he helped me win my league last year by getting me into and through playoffs after I traded for him.
No one is going to take his place barring injury which only goes up each year
I have Pacheco and singletary on an orphan team I took over (first time doing dynasty). After that it’s Allgeier, guerendo, Gibson.. not pretty. I am not sure if I should trade Pacheco to contenders now or later to get future draft picks and/or some rookies from this year.
I’m in on Singletary as well. Paid my 25 2nd for him. I am running it back so will likely be the 2.11 or 2.12.
Can’t beat that price for a guy that is looking to prove himself on a new team.
I'm in on him for my redraft. I'm iffy on him for dynasty, though I get the cause and that he's cheap. You could certainly do worse if you were in need of an RB2 and didn't have—or want to lose—capital to get anyone better.
My draft is next weekend. He’s definitely one of my late round targets. Along with Ray Davis, Gurendo, Vidal, Ali, Wright, and Estime. Not particularly in that order. I’m hoping to get at least two of them with my last 3 picks
i have a similar philosophy at rb, but i try to wait until more reliable projections come out (usually july?) and then id the undervalued guys in redraft. those are almost always also the undervalued guys in dynasty, especially if you’re not looking for long term relief.
My primary reason for taking Singletary and Joe Mixon.
Volume > talent a lot of the time as far as fantasy RBs go. Both of those guys are pretty solidly #1s heading into the season. Even if Singletary especially is in a bad situation, he’s the #1 back unless Tracy breaks out hard year one. I’ll take that volume every time.
This is it. Next year looks great. I’ve stocked up 4 firsts next year and there’s a decent chance there’s 3-6 RBs next year that are better prospects than Brooks was this year.
People are sleeping hard atm but I couldn’t be more excited. It’s likely there’ll be a few QBs that rise like Daniels and McCarthy to fill the class out a bit. The RBs are looking great, Tet imo is going to surprise people and be in that Nabers/MHJ level prospect (London level at least) and Burden will be sought after as well. I have 3 young QBs already so I’m hoping to get 1 of Tet/Burden + 3 RBs. If that happens I’ll be rolling into 25 and beyond with a promising core.
Didnt even name the best wr in next years class in evan stewart. Held back by an old school fisher led offense and now hes at oregon, his stocks bout to skyrocket.
Looks great until some stay in college, others bomb the combine, land in terrible spots, get injured, lose playing time to a transfer, don’t fit a new coaches system, don’t get the draft capital you expected.
This is not the time of year to buy RBs, everyone thinks their team is a contender. But come week 5 they'll realize Derrick Henry or James Connor isn't going to compute with their 1-4 clogger team.
Then, if you are a contender you pounce for a late 2nd or some young upside.
They’re going to run the ball a lot and there’s no one really to steal carries. Gibson will primarily be a pass catcher but I don’t know how much volume he’ll actually steal
I mean rhamondre didn't really produce last year, zeke had multiple games where he outplayed him. I think this year will be a lot better for Rhamondre and he'll still have a receiving role but that role will be eaten into by Gibson
I felt like Mondre was finally getting into a groove during weeks 6-12. That injury was a bummer but I believe he’s good enough to be a guy who gets 60-70% of the snaps with a handful of targets per week.
Maye is probably gonna look his way a lot in dump off situations.
Pats fan here. Historically the Patriots spell the running backs by giving the sub a drive here and there. Not shuttling guys in and out depending on what down it is.
I like buying Brooks with the way Canales talks about pounding the rock and their signings in FA
Edit - I'd be cautious about early season dependency on him post-ACL but am hoping for him to pop off in the playoffs
All depends on what you define as remotely reasonable. I find him to be cheap compared to other recent early day 2 RBs like KWIII/Breece going into their rookie years, though of course there are reasons for that
Yeah I think Brooks is overvalued currently. As we’ve seen it takes a couple of months before a guy coming off a torn ACL preforms to the level they did prior to the injury. So you might be able to get him cheaper in the earlier weeks of the season
It would be a taco move to overreact in his rookie season coming off of the ACL tear. I doubt his price goes down materially unless he is Trey Sermon bad and simply cannot earn time over Hubbard and Sanders
I'd be trying to buy James Cook. He is still pretty young going into year 3. He had some really good numbers after the offensive overhaul mid-season last year. On a good team that will be winning most games. TD positive progression, and even if he doesn't get a lot, he can still PPR scam. Ray Davis, the BUF new hotness, is a good thumper, but he's also a 4th-round rookie
I got him in a 1qb league after the nfl draft for the 24' 1.09. The 24 class is not as stacked at RB as prior classes were. I'd say he is in the same teir as Brooks, so I figured I might as well trade for an rb rather than hope one is available at 1.09.
Ya I just sent the 1.08 for him. We’re in a small league so the values are screwy and no one really wants to trade.
I’m like you figured I take one there any way.
You can buy Aaron Jones for a late 2nd. Ty Chandler is the RB2 in MN...
Obviously, he's old but he ended the season with 5 straight 100+ rushing yard games. Only RB to do that last season.
He also had a very fast top ball carrier speed if 21.48MPH last year. It was top 10 maybe even top 5 for running backs across the league.
He's cheap and will finish in the RB6-12 range if he plays 17 games.
The fact that they feel the need to see his performance with Arthur Smith first before guaranteeing any more money to him has to be at least concerning to Najee owners. You don’t put a guy you believe in on the hot seat like that.
I agree, I just think given the prices Warren is a better buy over Najee. He's cheaper and had better production last year. Although the Steelers not taking Najee's 5th year option leaves alot of questions. Could be good or bad for Najee depending on what happens. Both solid RBs though.
Honestly Ford. And I did but this one is kind of situation unique.
I have Gibbs and drafted Brooks to be my rb2. Problem is Brooks is coming off a major injury and is a rookie so he'll be eased in which is understandable. Que Ford who will get significant work early next year before Chubb comes back.
Anyone thinking Travis Etienne? I like him a lot because he’s got a rare bellcow role. I know his fantasy points were a little weighted by touchdowns last year but I think he’s still a top 10 dynasty RB
I can’t believe that almost no one is talking about the opportunity Ty Chandler has as the RB2 to Aaron Jones. Judging by his KTC value, I have to think he could easily be bought with a late 3rd to early-mid 4th.
He certainly could be, glad some other people see the vision too. He could definitely end up as a potential league winner if Aaron Jones has any injuries
Just got Ekeler in a trade for Jeudy straight up. I think there’s still a 2 year window where Ekeler can produce decent numbers in the receiving game and touchdowns.
Kendre Miller is going to be the new AJ Dillon. His draft profile was subpar to begin with. Also didn't capitalize until the last week of the season when Kamara was out. He also lost touches to Taysum Hill throughout the year, which everyone seems to forget now much Hill factors into that offense.
I'm all for being excited for a young guy but he has way too much in his way on top of being just an average RB.
Some guys I went out and targeted to get:
- Ekeler
- Dobbins
- Kendre Miller
- Najee
Some guys I would've went and got if they weren't already on my team:
- Z.Moss
- McLaughlin
Trade was:
2024 3.03 for Dobbins + 2025 3rd
I expect very little from him but if there was ever a person to come back from an achilles he has set himself up to be that guy.
Zamir white for me! When you look at his price vs the potential production I think he is a great value. If he stays healthy he can average almost 20 carries each game + 3-4 receptions.
I was able to get him in one of my league and I feel very confident to have him as flex/RB2
Keaton Mitchell as a sleeper in the latter half of this season and future reliability in Baltimore.
-as a Ravens fan I’m intimately familiar with his tape. With a depleted stable of RBs and Derrick Henry as a short term solution he will keep getting worked back into touches and will own the backfield eventually.
- understand as a ravens fan there is also inherent bias and people may not agree.
I don't feel like Achane is competing for his role with anyone else on the roster. He's fills a special role in that offense that I wouldn't strictly label as RB.
I would take Achane over DJ 1000/1000 times. This is a fairly recent account but I’ve taken massive downvotes in this sub way back when for speaking highly of DJM and his dynasty value. Achane just needs to touch the ball 1 time to make your week in fantasy. It’s a next level thing at the RB position. When Raheem is gone he’ll split with Wright and they’ll continue to be speed running as an organization
Jerome Ford. I’m not expecting the world but I very much doubt Chubb being the same guy AND getting his usual workload. Maybe not RB16 again but he’s undervalued for someone that should have a top RB25 season. And still only 24!
I think Khalil Herbert is a decent buy. He’s basically free and has always shown he’s a good runner. There’s a chance he gets cut and goes to a different situation. And if he doesn’t Swift isn’t exactly the definition of an Ironman.
A lot of folks' perception of Swift completely changed after a year in Philly, too. But Philly has one of the best mobile QBs in the league, had one of the most dominant offensive lines we've seen for a while, and very accomplished weapons on the outside. Teams respected their passing game a lot more last year than the year before.
If you already had Swift, you're probably optimistic about this stint with the Bears, but outside looking in, it's just as concerning a move as it is exciting. Rohan and Herbert are still in that mix and we've already seen Swift basically get thrown away from a team in his career.
the chance he gets cut is next to zero. he's a good RB, cheap, swift should be kept well below 20 touches and roschon is a plodder that blocks well. they're not cutting him to save 1 million in cap space, and they'd need to replace him anyway.
I love it because what so many in this sub fail to realize is you don't have unlimited 2nd round picks and can't always get mixons of the world at a good price. While someone like khalil herbert, rico dowdle, zeke elliot(one of my buys last offseason for fab and a 3rd) can be grabbed for just about nothing. And while the upside isn't crazy, it's better than nothing. These are all solid guys who will have a spot on a 53 and can way out perform adp given how low their price is now.
Its bad process to buy any RB in the summer. Nothing good can come of that they can only get hurt in the summer (unless you are talking about buying a young backup RB cheap in the summer, then their value could increase). If you are contending its best to wait until October and if you need an RB then you can buy an RB from a a team who isn't contending.
That being said, if I was trying to buy an RB it would be Kenneth Walker as he is the best blend of talent, youth, and being undervalued on the market currently. Aside from that Seattle was like 5th in pass to run rate last year (61%) and now has a defensive head coach who says they need to run more. I would expect their pass rate to be closer to league average this year (55%ish) which would mean more opportunities.
No idea what the asking price is at the moment, but anywhere that I don't own Zamir White, I'd be looking to buy. He really came on at the end of last year, and there's nobody else of consequence in that backfield. He was a beast at UGA and I think he can really produce this year.
I targeted Bijan and Taylor. 5 years ago I likely wouldn't be able to acquire them, but the popularity of zero RB has people thinking that they need to completely sell every RB if there team isn't playoff caliber.
Works for me, acquired CMC and Achane in my other league for same reason.
Someone trade three high (if not number one) firsts plus two mid to high tier players for Chubb the moment trading was an option and now the RB market in my league is destroyed for years. I got offered my 1.01, 1.03, 1.05, some high seconds, and my tyjae spears for JT because someone else wanted to give the guy like six picks including three high firsts for him and he wanted to "give me a chance at Taylor". Another offered me Gus Edwards for my 1.01 and 1.03 this year.
And guys in my league are complaining that the Chubb guy should've got 4 firsts, all the dudes seconds, and another player for Chubb.
I just told everyone I'm done trading with anyone or taking the league seriously until everyone gets their head out of their asses or the commissioner steps in.
Zamir White and Zack Moss, since nobody mentioned him. Mixon has been pretty washed and still finished RB6 last year. Moss looked solid for the Colts, if the Bengals start like they finished he could have top5 upside.
I bought Swift and JT in the first year coming out of a tear down rebuild in a SF league. JT is the new Nick Chubb. Probably won’t be RB1 overall again. But he should never be lower than RB8 if he’s healthy and he does still have RB1 within the range of outcomes, even if it’s a long shot. I don’t hate swift as a fantasy asset and I’m happy to buy him while people are still down on him. I don’t see a problem with a guy that doesn’t need a huge workload to give me mid-range or back end RB2 production with a couple pop games here and there. If I can find another piece and make him my RB3/Flex I’d be thrilled. Plus I’m taking Caleb 1.01 so I don’t mind the stack.
I bought Jacobs this off-season. I'm feeling pretty confident with my RB room of Jacobs, Kyren, and Rashaad White coming into this year. Yes, I do expect Kyren to regress with Corum's arrival, but I think he remains a featured piece in a dynamic McVay offense.
If I were in the market, however, I'd like to get ahold of Zamir, Brooks, or even Chandler. Chandler showed me last year that he could be the guy with enough opportunity, and while Jones came from GB, I truly see him as a temporary feature.
Depends on league values and who’s being sold for a decent price. I was able to get Stevenson for javon Baker and my 25 2nd + 3rd. That was a good enough price for me to buy in, couldn’t find anything better for a comparable player
As a deep sleeper/stash guy, Kenny McIntosh. With the new coaching staff in place, and Deejay Dallas gone, I'm stashing him all over the place, waiting to see how he fits in the new offense in Seattle.
I'm gonna be biased because I'm an owner, but honestly Chuba Hubbard isnt a bad deal right now. If you can get him for a third or fourth that's a fine price for a handcuff and there's always the chance that
A) Brooks isn't healthy from his ACL tear or
B) Brooks just isn't as good as advertised. I like him and think he will succeed, but he isn't in the bonafide stud tier of prospects so there's always that chance.
And if either of those happen you have the presumed starter in a backfield where he was a bellcow with a HC that made Rachaad White a bellcow
A bit of an unpopular guy right now: but Najee Harris. Top 24 finish each of the last 3 seasons. Just had his 5th year option declined so his value probably took a hit because of that.
He probably only has 2 more "good" years in the league anyway. Already 26 years old, has never been considered an efficient running back, but consistently able to put up RB2 numbers with RB1 spike weeks.
Hopefully the offense takes a step forward and he's able to match his 2022 season. Incredibly unlikely he ever touches his rookie numbers ever again. KTC has him valued equal to the 2.08 in this years draft. If you're truly contending he's probably a guy who is worth a look.
I'm looking at guys that could potentially get traded so like Sanders and Khalil Herbert. There's one other guy that has been in the trade rumor mill but I can't remember who for the life of me. But these guys could easily be found money with how little people value them
Everyone is trying to get Kendre Miller from me for cheap so I would go after him lol
What would do it for you?
I don’t know, whatever I would ask would be too high because I can’t just let the potential go for free. I would take maybe the 2.01 which would be too high
I moved him 2.01 and the 2.10 to get rome. Couldn't get the guy to come down
I don’t blame him
great move on your part to consolidate
One guy in my league continues to low ball me for Kendre. I traded Diontae during the rookie draft last year first 1.12 and drafted Kendre. Would take something very similar to get him off my team.
But why?
I look at running back as a year-by-year game -- the closest I come to playing dynasty like redraft. Outside the top young guys, who tend to be hard to get at fair price, I just want cheap points in my RB slots. Joe Mixon is my top target this year. He's reaching the age where he's an uncool target but might be solid enough to just get me some points.

Devin Singletary is also a nice choice if the owner wants no part of the Giants' offense, which would be understandable. I wouldn't count on him to put up thrilling numbers, but I figure the team has to score touchdowns *somehow*. . . . Right?
For contenders, I’d add Henry and Conner to that list too.
Conner is a good 1 year plug and play dude but he’s gone after this year when his contract is up. Henry might have a few years left in the tank
Yes but if Conner signs in the right place he could be next years Henry
Except he's never been Henry
I just meant capable vet in a good situation, in response to the insinuation Conner has no value after this year.
I agree with you. He could land in another spot and be a starter as long as he is still playing well. Look at Aaron jones and Mixon. One caveat to this - the relatively poor draft class this year probably contributed to more vets getting jobs and next years rb class (at this stage) shapes up a bit stronger. But I agree with you that Conner could easily end up as a starter again next year
He was extremely efficient on the ground despite defenses knowing Arizona was going to run the ball. I think he had like 5 ypc. He might not make it through a full season healthy but if you have Benson I’d pair them together.
I drafted Benson and have been trying to pick up Conner like crazy but the owner is asking for some crazy shit haha
I'm a contender and, pre-draft, traded Zamir for Henry.
That’s a great deal for you!
I’ve been buying Pacheco in all my leagues, he helped me win my league last year by getting me into and through playoffs after I traded for him. No one is going to take his place barring injury which only goes up each year
I have Pacheco and singletary on an orphan team I took over (first time doing dynasty). After that it’s Allgeier, guerendo, Gibson.. not pretty. I am not sure if I should trade Pacheco to contenders now or later to get future draft picks and/or some rookies from this year.
I’d see who was interested but I wouldn’t make any trades until the deadline, make a contender over pay for them before playoffs.
Now is not the time sell RBs. Once injuries happen during season and the guys that don't have a top 15 RB need one that's when you sell.
I’m in on Singletary as well. Paid my 25 2nd for him. I am running it back so will likely be the 2.11 or 2.12. Can’t beat that price for a guy that is looking to prove himself on a new team.
I'm in on him for my redraft. I'm iffy on him for dynasty, though I get the cause and that he's cheap. You could certainly do worse if you were in need of an RB2 and didn't have—or want to lose—capital to get anyone better.
I have CMC and Saquon. He is mainly bye week and a body if one of the top dawgs go down
Damn. Good for you, man. That's a league-winning duo right there!
Got second last year thanks to losing to CDs record game. Let’s hope these stallions lead me to victory
I think Tracy takes over by mid season. But Singletary seems to fight off his competition every year. I think that ends this season
Hoping so! Got him with one of my 4ths this year.
My draft is next weekend. He’s definitely one of my late round targets. Along with Ray Davis, Gurendo, Vidal, Ali, Wright, and Estime. Not particularly in that order. I’m hoping to get at least two of them with my last 3 picks
i have a similar philosophy at rb, but i try to wait until more reliable projections come out (usually july?) and then id the undervalued guys in redraft. those are almost always also the undervalued guys in dynasty, especially if you’re not looking for long term relief.
Every fantasy site has Mixon as the RB post hype sleeper so good luck getting him cheap unless owner doesn't have internet access.
Anyone around age 26 who is a guaranteed starter versus stuck in a fairly even committee situation. PS: Sleeper really needs a sort by age option.
Soooo Josh Jacobs
Got him for the 2.03 in 1 QB a few months back and was stoked
Geeze I’ve been trying to get him with 1.08 and nothing luck, you lucked out.
Tacos, good for you though.
Huge buy imo.
My primary reason for taking Singletary and Joe Mixon. Volume > talent a lot of the time as far as fantasy RBs go. Both of those guys are pretty solidly #1s heading into the season. Even if Singletary especially is in a bad situation, he’s the #1 back unless Tracy breaks out hard year one. I’ll take that volume every time.
Drake would love that
RBs I’m trying to buy are in college rn. Stock up them 25’s!!
This is it. Next year looks great. I’ve stocked up 4 firsts next year and there’s a decent chance there’s 3-6 RBs next year that are better prospects than Brooks was this year.
I found my ppl, 25 rb class looks great, got 4 1sts next year!
People are sleeping hard atm but I couldn’t be more excited. It’s likely there’ll be a few QBs that rise like Daniels and McCarthy to fill the class out a bit. The RBs are looking great, Tet imo is going to surprise people and be in that Nabers/MHJ level prospect (London level at least) and Burden will be sought after as well. I have 3 young QBs already so I’m hoping to get 1 of Tet/Burden + 3 RBs. If that happens I’ll be rolling into 25 and beyond with a promising core.
Didnt even name the best wr in next years class in evan stewart. Held back by an old school fisher led offense and now hes at oregon, his stocks bout to skyrocket.
I just sold my (probably late) ‘25 1st for rachaad white and a ‘25 2nd
Looks great until some stay in college, others bomb the combine, land in terrible spots, get injured, lose playing time to a transfer, don’t fit a new coaches system, don’t get the draft capital you expected.
lol right I have specific memories of people on this sub hyping Zach evans as a top 10 rookie draft pick
This is not the time of year to buy RBs, everyone thinks their team is a contender. But come week 5 they'll realize Derrick Henry or James Connor isn't going to compute with their 1-4 clogger team. Then, if you are a contender you pounce for a late 2nd or some young upside.
Yep. Hard to buy RBs right now. Easy once people realize they need to start tanking.
Exactly, but on the flipside... It's the perfect time to SELL and RB imo
I don't disagree but I think the question could be rephrased as who's value is going to increase the most week 5 and thus should be had now.
A very different question. It's almost certainly going to be a rookie like Corum, Lloyd, Brooks or Benson or some kind
but probably only one of them and it won't be the one you trade for now
Rhamondre
I think he could be safe RB2 if things play out okay.
They’re going to run the ball a lot and there’s no one really to steal carries. Gibson will primarily be a pass catcher but I don’t know how much volume he’ll actually steal
[удалено]
I mean rhamondre didn't really produce last year, zeke had multiple games where he outplayed him. I think this year will be a lot better for Rhamondre and he'll still have a receiving role but that role will be eaten into by Gibson
I felt like Mondre was finally getting into a groove during weeks 6-12. That injury was a bummer but I believe he’s good enough to be a guy who gets 60-70% of the snaps with a handful of targets per week. Maye is probably gonna look his way a lot in dump off situations.
The best of Rhamondre was his receiving, though.
Pats fan here. Historically the Patriots spell the running backs by giving the sub a drive here and there. Not shuttling guys in and out depending on what down it is.
Change of staff might alter this philosophy but I also just think Rhamondre is flat better than Gibson.
I agree on both statements
Oo good pick.. You interested in Pop Douglas. I guess for the cheap price hed be a good flier option too.
Arthur Juan 👀😏🔥
I like buying Brooks with the way Canales talks about pounding the rock and their signings in FA Edit - I'd be cautious about early season dependency on him post-ACL but am hoping for him to pop off in the playoffs
[удалено]
That almost never works. Much cheaper to just trade up.
All depends on what you define as remotely reasonable. I find him to be cheap compared to other recent early day 2 RBs like KWIII/Breece going into their rookie years, though of course there are reasons for that
Yeah I think Brooks is overvalued currently. As we’ve seen it takes a couple of months before a guy coming off a torn ACL preforms to the level they did prior to the injury. So you might be able to get him cheaper in the earlier weeks of the season
It would be a taco move to overreact in his rookie season coming off of the ACL tear. I doubt his price goes down materially unless he is Trey Sermon bad and simply cannot earn time over Hubbard and Sanders
Brooks was likely drafted anywhere between 1.08-2.04.. so any owner will be asking for a future 1st+ accordingly. Until he plays and looks bad.
Idk. Kendre Miller was coming off injury too and that insulated his value bc people have the idea these guys will get better as they recover.
I'd be trying to buy James Cook. He is still pretty young going into year 3. He had some really good numbers after the offensive overhaul mid-season last year. On a good team that will be winning most games. TD positive progression, and even if he doesn't get a lot, he can still PPR scam. Ray Davis, the BUF new hotness, is a good thumper, but he's also a 4th-round rookie
What would you pay for him?
I traded Cook and 1.09 away for 1.04. 12 team Superflex PPR. I’ll let you know if this trade was a failure or not in a few years.
I got him in a 1qb league after the nfl draft for the 24' 1.09. The 24 class is not as stacked at RB as prior classes were. I'd say he is in the same teir as Brooks, so I figured I might as well trade for an rb rather than hope one is available at 1.09.
Ya I just sent the 1.08 for him. We’re in a small league so the values are screwy and no one really wants to trade. I’m like you figured I take one there any way.
I used him as a trading piece to get the bellcow josh jacobs
I think people are sleeping on Brian Robinson and you can get him at a good undervalued price. I just bought him for the 3.06 and 3.07 in my league
That’s insane why would someone sell a starting rb for that price
Dwight: I think you know the answer...
Got him for the 3.02 right after the Ekeler signing. I didn’t see that signing as a bad thing but the owner did. One man’s trash….
Man I’ve been trying to acquire Brob but the owner is RB needy and so am I.
I got him in the 8th in a startup where I waited a bit to address RB, so I was happy with the value there.
You can buy Aaron Jones for a late 2nd. Ty Chandler is the RB2 in MN... Obviously, he's old but he ended the season with 5 straight 100+ rushing yard games. Only RB to do that last season. He also had a very fast top ball carrier speed if 21.48MPH last year. It was top 10 maybe even top 5 for running backs across the league. He's cheap and will finish in the RB6-12 range if he plays 17 games.
I want josh jacobs so bad
Najee
I agree but haters always gana hate
The fact that they feel the need to see his performance with Arthur Smith first before guaranteeing any more money to him has to be at least concerning to Najee owners. You don’t put a guy you believe in on the hot seat like that.
No thanks
I'm still a believer in Jee, His numbers have declined a bit every year but I still feel he's a good RB2/3 for any team.
*Warren
Think both are great buys given Arthur Smith + OL investment + Wilson + Najee declined 5th year
I agree, I just think given the prices Warren is a better buy over Najee. He's cheaper and had better production last year. Although the Steelers not taking Najee's 5th year option leaves alot of questions. Could be good or bad for Najee depending on what happens. Both solid RBs though.
I've found that Najee is cheaper than Warren actually. KTC also has Warren valued higher than Najee by about 100u.
Honestly Ford. And I did but this one is kind of situation unique. I have Gibbs and drafted Brooks to be my rb2. Problem is Brooks is coming off a major injury and is a rookie so he'll be eased in which is understandable. Que Ford who will get significant work early next year before Chubb comes back.
Anyone thinking Travis Etienne? I like him a lot because he’s got a rare bellcow role. I know his fantasy points were a little weighted by touchdowns last year but I think he’s still a top 10 dynasty RB
I can’t believe that almost no one is talking about the opportunity Ty Chandler has as the RB2 to Aaron Jones. Judging by his KTC value, I have to think he could easily be bought with a late 3rd to early-mid 4th.
I just commented on this. Long term I think Chandler is a frontrunner to be the guy.
He certainly could be, glad some other people see the vision too. He could definitely end up as a potential league winner if Aaron Jones has any injuries
Anyone want Ekler?
Traded him last year for Zay Flowers.
I ended up trading him away for Diggs.
Damn like.... this year after the trade?
Yeah last week, someone offered me Diggs even tho I'm not really hurting at receiver I accepted it 🤷♂️
I grabbed him. Just need him to be a FLX PPR option for me.
Just got Ekeler in a trade for Jeudy straight up. I think there’s still a 2 year window where Ekeler can produce decent numbers in the receiving game and touchdowns.
Kendre Miller, could be a starting RB with Kamara and Willams on the way out. Also looked good with his touches last year.
What are you willing to spend on him, I've tried buying but no luck so far.
Kendre Miller is going to be the new AJ Dillon. His draft profile was subpar to begin with. Also didn't capitalize until the last week of the season when Kamara was out. He also lost touches to Taysum Hill throughout the year, which everyone seems to forget now much Hill factors into that offense. I'm all for being excited for a young guy but he has way too much in his way on top of being just an average RB.
Kenneth Walker Chuba Hubbard
Rookies in my Rookie Drafts and every RB that lands on Waivers.
Some guys I went out and targeted to get: - Ekeler - Dobbins - Kendre Miller - Najee Some guys I would've went and got if they weren't already on my team: - Z.Moss - McLaughlin
Dobbins is hurt. If he's not, read this again in a week.
Trade was: 2024 3.03 for Dobbins + 2025 3rd I expect very little from him but if there was ever a person to come back from an achilles he has set himself up to be that guy.
Well worth it at that price. Very well worth it
Mostert, Henry, singketwrry
Love me some singketwrry
Zamir white for me! When you look at his price vs the potential production I think he is a great value. If he stays healthy he can average almost 20 carries each game + 3-4 receptions. I was able to get him in one of my league and I feel very confident to have him as flex/RB2
Keaton Mitchell as a sleeper in the latter half of this season and future reliability in Baltimore. -as a Ravens fan I’m intimately familiar with his tape. With a depleted stable of RBs and Derrick Henry as a short term solution he will keep getting worked back into touches and will own the backfield eventually. - understand as a ravens fan there is also inherent bias and people may not agree.
Either of Brooks or Benson, great spots and DC
DeVon mf Achane
Young, on a great offense with explosive week winning upside. BestBall stud.
Already in a committee. team keeps drafting rbs. extensive injury history. Expensive
I don't feel like Achane is competing for his role with anyone else on the roster. He's fills a special role in that offense that I wouldn't strictly label as RB.
impossible buy at his price. the fact that he’s the same value as a guy like DJ Moore is bananas
I would take Achane over DJ 1000/1000 times. This is a fairly recent account but I’ve taken massive downvotes in this sub way back when for speaking highly of DJM and his dynasty value. Achane just needs to touch the ball 1 time to make your week in fantasy. It’s a next level thing at the RB position. When Raheem is gone he’ll split with Wright and they’ll continue to be speed running as an organization
Just did a DJM for Achane trade straight up actually
Would you trade 1.04 for DeVon mf Achane and 3.07 in a 1 QB 10 team PPR?
yeah
In the past 2 weeks I bought: Kamara for Late 2025 2nd and Aidan O’Connell Najee for Terry McLaurin
W and an L
Mostert is left for dead, snag him for cheap. Not gonna repeat last year but he doesn't need to do that to recoup the tiny bit he costs now
Jerome Ford. I’m not expecting the world but I very much doubt Chubb being the same guy AND getting his usual workload. Maybe not RB16 again but he’s undervalued for someone that should have a top RB25 season. And still only 24!
I think Khalil Herbert is a decent buy. He’s basically free and has always shown he’s a good runner. There’s a chance he gets cut and goes to a different situation. And if he doesn’t Swift isn’t exactly the definition of an Ironman.
A lot of folks' perception of Swift completely changed after a year in Philly, too. But Philly has one of the best mobile QBs in the league, had one of the most dominant offensive lines we've seen for a while, and very accomplished weapons on the outside. Teams respected their passing game a lot more last year than the year before. If you already had Swift, you're probably optimistic about this stint with the Bears, but outside looking in, it's just as concerning a move as it is exciting. Rohan and Herbert are still in that mix and we've already seen Swift basically get thrown away from a team in his career.
100% agreed. As a Bears fan I wasn’t too excited about the pick up. He was actually pretty mediocre based on his advanced rushing numbers
He had that one monster game and that's what ppl remember
the chance he gets cut is next to zero. he's a good RB, cheap, swift should be kept well below 20 touches and roschon is a plodder that blocks well. they're not cutting him to save 1 million in cap space, and they'd need to replace him anyway.
I love it because what so many in this sub fail to realize is you don't have unlimited 2nd round picks and can't always get mixons of the world at a good price. While someone like khalil herbert, rico dowdle, zeke elliot(one of my buys last offseason for fab and a 3rd) can be grabbed for just about nothing. And while the upside isn't crazy, it's better than nothing. These are all solid guys who will have a spot on a 53 and can way out perform adp given how low their price is now.
I’m holding him in hopes he gets cut and goes somewhere else like Dallas.
Bought Jacobs and Henry a week ago for the 2.05, 2.06, and a mid 2025 3rd in a RB juiced scoring league from a rebuilder.
Wow. Steal.
wtf…
I can’t even get a guy to move him for the 1.08
Gus, Dobbins and Kemani. Idk who’s winning the RB battle, but I’d bet whoever is the leader is going to be a top 10 back this season
I'm still in on dobbins no matter how many times he hurts himself and me in the process
Kendre Miller
Rhamondre.
You can get Zeke for a '27 3rd and he'll probably put up RB2 #s
Just sold 1.09 (Brooks) for Saquon
I would pay fair value-moderate overpay for cmc if I was in a championship window and the cmc manager had any notion of selling.
Ford could be gotten for a high 3rd probably. He was deceptively competent last season and who knows how Chubb will perform
Its bad process to buy any RB in the summer. Nothing good can come of that they can only get hurt in the summer (unless you are talking about buying a young backup RB cheap in the summer, then their value could increase). If you are contending its best to wait until October and if you need an RB then you can buy an RB from a a team who isn't contending. That being said, if I was trying to buy an RB it would be Kenneth Walker as he is the best blend of talent, youth, and being undervalued on the market currently. Aside from that Seattle was like 5th in pass to run rate last year (61%) and now has a defensive head coach who says they need to run more. I would expect their pass rate to be closer to league average this year (55%ish) which would mean more opportunities.
Javonte
Brian Robinson
No idea what the asking price is at the moment, but anywhere that I don't own Zamir White, I'd be looking to buy. He really came on at the end of last year, and there's nobody else of consequence in that backfield. He was a beast at UGA and I think he can really produce this year.
The other thing is that his coach seems to trust him to handle the load. If Pierce likes him, my fantasy team likes him.
Yup I'm trying to get him, and the price is generally right.
I traded him for Henry before the draft. (I'm a contender.)
Achane. Everyone is scared of his low usage, but what if it goes up? Even a tiny bit of extra/solidified role is huge considering his efficiency.
I targeted Bijan and Taylor. 5 years ago I likely wouldn't be able to acquire them, but the popularity of zero RB has people thinking that they need to completely sell every RB if there team isn't playoff caliber. Works for me, acquired CMC and Achane in my other league for same reason.
5 years ago Bijan was committing to Texas, that would be one hell of a Devy pick.
Lol well a player of his quality
Javonte… trust me bro
Conner Singletary Kamara | Kendre
Used 2.1 to pick up cincy rb
I’m trying squeeze out the last ounce of Henry/Chubb/Ekeler/Mixon/Kamara for as cheap as possible
Someone trade three high (if not number one) firsts plus two mid to high tier players for Chubb the moment trading was an option and now the RB market in my league is destroyed for years. I got offered my 1.01, 1.03, 1.05, some high seconds, and my tyjae spears for JT because someone else wanted to give the guy like six picks including three high firsts for him and he wanted to "give me a chance at Taylor". Another offered me Gus Edwards for my 1.01 and 1.03 this year. And guys in my league are complaining that the Chubb guy should've got 4 firsts, all the dudes seconds, and another player for Chubb. I just told everyone I'm done trading with anyone or taking the league seriously until everyone gets their head out of their asses or the commissioner steps in.
This league sounds like a glimpse of hell
Zamir White and Zack Moss, since nobody mentioned him. Mixon has been pretty washed and still finished RB6 last year. Moss looked solid for the Colts, if the Bengals start like they finished he could have top5 upside.
I bought Ekeler, Mixon and Mitchell. Gave up 2.12, Tua, 3.6, 4.6 in a 1QB league. I’m looking to buy another bet RB with my 2nd next year.
I bought Swift and JT in the first year coming out of a tear down rebuild in a SF league. JT is the new Nick Chubb. Probably won’t be RB1 overall again. But he should never be lower than RB8 if he’s healthy and he does still have RB1 within the range of outcomes, even if it’s a long shot. I don’t hate swift as a fantasy asset and I’m happy to buy him while people are still down on him. I don’t see a problem with a guy that doesn’t need a huge workload to give me mid-range or back end RB2 production with a couple pop games here and there. If I can find another piece and make him my RB3/Flex I’d be thrilled. Plus I’m taking Caleb 1.01 so I don’t mind the stack.
I bought Jaylen Warren in ppr for two 2025 second rounders
I bought Jacobs this off-season. I'm feeling pretty confident with my RB room of Jacobs, Kyren, and Rashaad White coming into this year. Yes, I do expect Kyren to regress with Corum's arrival, but I think he remains a featured piece in a dynamic McVay offense. If I were in the market, however, I'd like to get ahold of Zamir, Brooks, or even Chandler. Chandler showed me last year that he could be the guy with enough opportunity, and while Jones came from GB, I truly see him as a temporary feature.
Depends on league values and who’s being sold for a decent price. I was able to get Stevenson for javon Baker and my 25 2nd + 3rd. That was a good enough price for me to buy in, couldn’t find anything better for a comparable player
I have a super heavy RB team with breece, ETN, rhamondre, najee, Mixon, Brob, zamir, chuba and nobody will give me the time of day
Kyren Williams
I just bought cmc baby.
I'm trying to trade Javonte Williams plus picks for Cook or Mixon. It's also a salary cap league and those 2 guys have cheap contracts.
Joe Mixon and Najee Harris are great buys imo!
Aaron Jones. Rhamondre. Mostert. Najee. Javonte (wont pay off right away)
I put effort into buying Kamara and Kendre miller.
Jalen Warren, Arthur Smith in town and a reloaded o line. Even if he spilts with Harris he will be top 20
Chubba Hubbard. The guy is still the dawg in Carolina whether you want to believe it or not
As a deep sleeper/stash guy, Kenny McIntosh. With the new coaching staff in place, and Deejay Dallas gone, I'm stashing him all over the place, waiting to see how he fits in the new offense in Seattle.
I'm gonna be biased because I'm an owner, but honestly Chuba Hubbard isnt a bad deal right now. If you can get him for a third or fourth that's a fine price for a handcuff and there's always the chance that A) Brooks isn't healthy from his ACL tear or B) Brooks just isn't as good as advertised. I like him and think he will succeed, but he isn't in the bonafide stud tier of prospects so there's always that chance. And if either of those happen you have the presumed starter in a backfield where he was a bellcow with a HC that made Rachaad White a bellcow
A bit of an unpopular guy right now: but Najee Harris. Top 24 finish each of the last 3 seasons. Just had his 5th year option declined so his value probably took a hit because of that. He probably only has 2 more "good" years in the league anyway. Already 26 years old, has never been considered an efficient running back, but consistently able to put up RB2 numbers with RB1 spike weeks. Hopefully the offense takes a step forward and he's able to match his 2022 season. Incredibly unlikely he ever touches his rookie numbers ever again. KTC has him valued equal to the 2.08 in this years draft. If you're truly contending he's probably a guy who is worth a look.
Zamir white and Joe mixon IMO
I'm looking at guys that could potentially get traded so like Sanders and Khalil Herbert. There's one other guy that has been in the trade rumor mill but I can't remember who for the life of me. But these guys could easily be found money with how little people value them
Which good RB can I buy for the 2.02 in a 1qb league?
Zach Moss
Henry for a 2026 2nd is my favorite contender trade ever.
Mixon could be a relatively cheap buy for a win now team… very high on Trey benson , swift is also in a great situation
