What would you be willing to trade for Barkley? And what do you think would get Barkley? Guy that has him really needs RBs, as he's losing them to injury. He's down to Kerryon and Pollard.

I got Mixon, Michel, Singletary, McCoy, Gordon, & Miles Sanders. I will absolutely not give up Gordon. I'm thinking of offering up Mixon. If he turns it down, I'd roll with what I got, but Barkley's playoff schedule is so enticing.
Problem with trading for Barkley is by the time he comes back, I'm assuming the Giants will be out of playoff contention. They could just decide to sit him for the rest of the year. I would not offer up Mixon at this point in time if I were you.

Yeah, that's my fear as well. I think the only guy with value right now would be mccoy. Unless I give 2, but I'm hesitant there. Regardless, I'll talk to him about the possibility tomorrow, but I won't make an offer until next week because we play each other lol

AB is available in a league I'm in.

Worth the risk?

@HawkBear
He's not worth it to me. He's also available in my league. Even if he signs, he still faces the exempt list

@Burque it also depends on your team and whether you think you could hold onto him.

Cohen vs. Minnesota or Chris Thompson vs NYG? One of the few times I’ve actually felt torn picking my lineup. I keep feeling like Cohen is going to have a massive game soon

I'd go Thompson. Cohen can't be trusted right now.

No, I drafted him in one of my larger money leagues and have dropped him as well. I don’t see anyway he makes a return this year. He’s still going off on social media and now calling out current players....I think he’s done.

Cohen is just to tough to trust right now based on usage. He does have the higher ceiling though so if you’re willing to roll the dice on a big time boom or bust player than go for it. I’d take the for sure 10-15 points from Thompson tho

Cohen ended with 8.8 and Thompson ended with 8 (.5PPR). I own both lol. I went with Thompson against the weaker defense.

Yeah, same here. Ended up being a wash...after the opening drive, it seemed like Cohen was primed for a larger night

And it took a score by Cohen to get that. He's just not providing a very safe floor IMO.

I dropped him, which sucks because I thought he'd be a great flex play this year.

Am I crazy to consider playing both Ekeler and Gordon tomorrow? It's a 1 pt PPR league. Otherwise I'm looking at either McCoy (against IND), Gallman (against MIN), or E. Sanders (against LAC). None of those options excite me.

If you decide to go with one LA back I'd go Ekeler over Gordon.

You're not crazy, but based on your options I think I'd go Ekeler and either McCoy or Gallman. Probably McCoy as MIN D upfront is pretty solid.

Chiefs fucked me over with mccoy. He's outplayed both Williams' this year and still can't get the job. Gonna lose now after that shit.
