I’d prefer Chark. He’s proven to at least be capable of having some sort of big play impact when paired with a top QB.
Like it or not, Pitts still has "generational" attached to his name. He will come at a premium and I suspect you'll need Reed +++ to pull him. If you're a contender, the shark play is probably paying a mid 2nd for Ferguson. He's a young guy who's already proven he can be option 2 on that Dallas offense. Kittle could probably be had for the same price and his upside is outstanding, but he's aging and injury prone.
You’re going to have to give up more than Reed. No one that’s held onto to Pitts this long, would give him away at a discount when his greatest opportunity to breakout is right now.
I have Pitts in a similar format, except we aren’t TE-P, and I would not take that for him even in non TE-P.
I think his value is a little over inflated right now because Najee never gets hurt which will limit his upside, even if Najee does leave it's not like they won't acquire another RB and no matter Warren will turn 27 a few weeks into the 2025 season.
I love Warren. I’ve been beating the Warren drum for a while now. He may or may not be featured next year (I suspect PIT will find a way to extend Najee). And I actually do believe Warren is FF RB2 worthy, a flex play at worst.
Reed for Pitts if I had Pitts would be an instant reject with no counter.
I love Bowers BUT yeah, would probably look at Thomas, Brooks or Worthy depending on your current roster strengths. Would also look at trading down a few spots but you have probably tried that already.
Basically I’ve been searching for one guy I can write in weekly at that position for the next ten years and not worry about it and I’m not convinced yet that either pitts or Kincaid is that guy yet
Until the Raiders get a real QB, Bowers won’t be that guy either (I drafted him when he fell to 7 in 1 QB).
Agree with @menobrown - that’s a totally reasonable offer. I’d adjust your sights to a player attainable for that price. You shot your shot. Why overpay?
If I already had Kincaid & Pitts I’d be looking to move back a spot. Or I’d draft Bowers and immediately be shopping a TE.
I’d rather take a shot on Harrison being “the one”, but I can’t fault team A. It’s a great value - gonna be potentially Bowers or a top WR there. Smith is a nice pull, so if they have a need for multiple players it’s not a bad move.
If it's like FFPC, TEP and you can start 3 of them then absolutely without question. If it's just single PPR I'd probably go another direction even if I just had one of them.
I can start two at most but that wouldn’t ever happen unless catastrophe hit my WR core (JJ, Chase, AJB, Garrett Wilson, waddle, pick 1.01 (Harrison)) and non ppr
In that case I’d be looking to move back a spot if team 1.07 is willing. You’d gain something & give up nothing. Win win.
I try to not be overly concerned about adding the best prospect to the strongest positional strength to my team. If you are much higher on Bowers than the others I would take him. Things change fast and you can always trade one of those guys during the season for a premium if a team is lacking. Trading back in a perfect world is an option, but in my league it doesn’t always pan out as easy as it should. I would wait until you are on the clock and if not settled on Bowers see if someone with a TE deficiency wants to move up, if not take your top guy if there is a big talent tier break for you between them.
It doesn't seem like you need the pick at all. Maybe donate it to someone else.
Probably yes. I guess it depends on what you think of the rest of your team. Are loaded everywhere else and feelikg if you can patch together QB you can win it all? If that's the case, I would keep Fields and be looking to buy at QB. If your team is middle of the road, I think I sell to buid for the future.
Pretty loaded everywhere - just traded for Levis, so potentially 3 starters in Levis, ARich & Minshew.
Hard to pass that up, especially not knowing if Fields will ever take the field as a starter again. Can you get Flacco on the cheap to backup ARich?
Probably
I have been seeing this line of thinking on various social media and hearing it on podcasts. I do not believe Minshew will be the starter, unless AOC completely soils the bed.
That’s why I said potentially.
I like Estime’s potential situation.
thanks!
Tracy is the guy I'd go with.
I read an article today (can’t find the link dang it) comparing all the rookie backs.
Yeah, I could be wrong. Totally concede that.
On a phone at airport, got to be brief when I say his workout numbers, metrics and path. Tony Pollard/David Johnson type of upside, which I know are very different but that class of potential.
Likely short yardage.
You said Irving profiled as a JAG, but Estime could very well be a JAG as well if his combine is any indication. He’s going late in rookie drafts and there could be a reason for that. I have a couple of shares, but I’m not holding my breath.
I think Vidal is being undervalued and he tops my list by quite a bit in that group. You have a shaky depth chart, huge armed threat at quarterback, bolstered oline, and a team that wants to run the ball more than any other team in the NFL. Vidal is in a great position.
You know how much a "hold" on Fields guy I am. I'd sell for this in a heartbeat.
Keep seeing people say this too, that Irving’s strength is his pass-catching. And while that is true, White is already a top 3 pass-catching back in the league. People expect him to be better than that?
I agree Estime is a good late round target. I picked him up 3.04
Got a link from a credible source saying Javonte Williams isn’t returning to his pre- injury form?
It is not a "direct" lost a step quote, but if you look at his contract, new regime and the fact they said he was "100% Totally healthy last season" and did not do that well.
Not 100% last season and this season are two completely different things. Nothing in that means he won’t be like he was or will be, just conjecture. Being another year removed from that injury is a good thing. We will see won’t we.
