I'm in a $25 salary-cap auction keeper league, and I got him last year for $6.00. He was a useless bust, but I need to submit my keepers by the end of the day today, and I keep hearing about how he's a projected top 5 back this year. You guys think I should hold on to him at that price tag, or drop him and try to pick him up for cheaper?

true. i had the same thoughts on Gore. week team. i didn't even get the chance to choose though in my league. all the top tier guys were gone when i came up at 11.

Shouldn't have been.

If the top 8 RBs: AP, MJD, Forte, SJax, Chris Johnson, Turner, Slaton and Gore, are gone you should have been able to get a tier one WR in Fitz, Moss, A. Johnson or Megatron and possibly another in round 2. You could have also taken a flier on Marion Barber, Deangelo, Clinton Portis or LT.

Dont worry about Slaton...Minny is the best run d in the league

yeah. i got them too. i hope i can come out of hawk's league with a winning record, but projections have me scoring the least of the 12 teams in wk 1. may be the nature of PPR. this is my first time in one of those.

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
