10 team 1 qb/ half ppr/ .25 TEP (.75 ppr for TE) Trey McBride Jonathan Brooks Kendre Miller Jahan Dotson Adonai Mitchell 2025 1st 2026 2nd For Bijan Kittle McLaurin
I just need to dig into Dotson value I guess because I can’t see it. What has he done to warrant a similar price tag to scary Terry? I just don’t see it. Additionally the reason I say bijan side is that this is 10 team, so you want studs over depth. In the trade he is losing only 1 guarenteed starter (McBride) and a 25 1. Yes chance others decent chance others can become flex/okay starters but he is getting 3 bonafide starters in the deal with one being a generational back in Bijan. This is easily the 3 starters for me 🤷🏻♂️ Brooks mcbrjde and the 25 1 are the real assets in this deal on his side to me and they don’t come anywhere close to the value of the other 3 studs
I did just look at FFP dynasty trade value chart which I like to use to get a general idea of value. It has mclaurin valued at 41 and Dotson 19, so less than half 🤷🏻♂️
I could argue that Bijan is no more proven than Brooks, and I think you’re severely underestimating Brooks’ talent. Don’t get me wrong, I still believe Bijan is a top talent at RB, and if I was choosing today in a 1-qb startup, it would be Bijan at 1.01. But I also know you can’t treat RBs the same way you do other positions. While I don’t think it directly correlates for this discussion (because I do think Brooks will be slow out of the gate), but RB is the only position that I would reasonably expect production out of in the first year.
Like with Bijan, you have to be more intuitive with RBs and see the ones that will hit ahead of time
Honestly I hope you are so right with brooks haha because I drafted him this year. But still he is no bijan. Bijan is generational what he did in college and he’s show serious flashes in NFL so far
If you held a gun to my head, I would say Brooks is about the 3rd or 4th most talented RB to come out in the last 3 years. With Bijan being the top.
But I do hope you are right with brooks. It is a real bummer he’s already suffered an ACL thus far. But if brooks was in the same tier as bijan he wouldn’t have been behind roschon which worries me a bit
If Brooks were not to be coming back from ACL, I have little doubt that he’d be in the top tier of rookies (with MHJ, Nabers, and Odunze). That’s how complete he is as a talent at the position. However, like I said about RBs above, you have to be able to count on them quickly in their first year, and his injury kills that, knocking him down into the 2nd or even 2b tier.
He’s just being severely overshadowed by a “poor RB crop” and an incredible QB/WR crop
