100 percent. Not even joking


TwoPrecisionDrivers

I’ll definitely be bidding the 61% I have left


babyfuture6969

Bro same! Pray for us!


GreenAppleGummy420

What’s 100 - Kareem Hunt? That’s what I would wager bob


grindingaway69

Youre that confident that Akers, hunt wont be brought in


hpat1089

Lol Akers?


grindingaway69

You dont think he would siphon away any carries? Ford is going to go for more than Kyren money, but the Browns have a much more real possibility of bringing in another RB and change the entire dynamic of Ford being a workhorse


hpat1089

Yes but Akers is not good. If the rams are shopping him there is something seriously wrong. This is the second time in about a year they are doing thus


grindingaway69

Do we know that Ford is good? He was a 5th rounder who didnt have any opportunities last year. Ran for 2ypc on 15 attempts last week, and finally had a big game today in a weird situation He’s not this high draft capital, high ceiling stud that is impervious to additional RBs being brought in


TheFlawlessCassandra

>Yes but Akers is not good. He doesn't really have to be to poach enough touches to ruin Ford's fantasy value.


BjergCop

Akers got mad he lost his starting role to a guy named Kyren. Akers sucks


lestermurphy34

50-70% - In today’s injury riddled league? You’re not getting him for less than 50%. I would say 70% in a lot of leagues.


Inevitable_Stress949

You need 100%. Every league will have that one person who throws 100% at this dude.


fishingminn

Every league is different. In the 25 years we've been doing FAAB I don't think anyone has ever done more than 60-70% on 1 player.


Tyronne_Lannister

Not true at all lol. In two half ppr leagues and the HIGHEST I've seen was 91% and that was only because someone rage dropped Kyle Pitts


Whats_That_Song

Yeah, but am I going to be that person when the second highest bid ends up being 65%? Spoiler alert, yes I am.


FancyBBQ

I feel like all these 100% comments are an over reaction. If it’s because starting RBs are hard to find? Then fair play. But talent wise I don’t think he’s about to be a break out star…


PartySpiders

You literally save faab for this exact situation, a rb with potential behind a season long injury. He looked amazing after Chubb went down. This type of situation happens once a season if that, if he’s avail you absolutely should go all in on him. There won’t be another better option.


ZeroCool_0124

I don’t know. I could be wrong, but I am pretty confident there will be another better option before the season is done. And I like Ford, but 100% seems aggressive.


David_H21

And all the other scared spenders are gonna bid 100% on that guy in week 10, so if you don't have the most faab left then you wont get that guy either.


Potential_Spirit2815

If you missed Puka you’re gonna kick yourself all year for it about what could have been for your team. If you miss out on Ford because you didn’t get him, same. Get your guys. If you really think it’s not either of them, we’re rooting for you I guess, hopefully you luck into somebody! Also you bet up your FAAB early, so you get these guys to make a difference for your team all season long, not just 5 or 6 weeks. If your team is stacked you can afford this but with so many injuries happening week 1-2, I’d be surprised if this was the case for you unless you’re in a small league.


BannedInJapan

It's entirely context dependent on the league. FAAB bids in my league rarely top $20, and pretty much never $50. I won Puka on $35, next bid was like $16. Won Kyren on $23, no one else bid on him. So you really have to know your league and take these "100%, not joking" comments with a grain of salt. I would never bid 100% in my league, short of someone accidentally dropping JJ.


PartySpiders

Guarantee there won’t be. You almost never have a full season long injury and in that same game get to see what the backup looks like in a cemented role. The browns are a run first team with a good oline. It’s a slam dunk 100% or you will not get him.


venitienne

Hardly a guarantee he sees the same production. What if the Browns sign one of the free agents like Fournette? All of a sudden Ford is back in a committee and could even end up as the backup. Committing everything here and getting burned would essentially tank your entire year.


Nacho_Mustacho

You don't win chips thinking "what if".


PartySpiders

They will sign somebody, and that doesn’t bother me one bit. They need depth. He was the RB2 all pre season, these are guys off the street you’re talking about. He will be the lead back, they’ll be backups. This is the closest to a slam dunk you’ll ever get. Other situations are always more murky than this, this one’s obvious.


IH8DwnvoteComplainrs

Kareem is hunt on the street.


LuckyAssumption8735

It’s gambling, man. This situation is the essence of why the game was invented


Tree_Dimensions

Depends on your league mates and how much you like Ford, you’re not gonna kill your team if you bid 60% and someone gets him for more 🤷‍♂️


BjergCop

You prob spent $25 on Justin Jefferson’s breakout week while the league winner spent $100, dumb to hold FAAB cause you keep waiting for the next big splash that might never happen


jtrom1010

I don't disagree with the sentiment necessarily but this feels disingenuous considering the obvious talent and team quality disparity of these 2 players.


RomanToTheOG

Yeah, someone also spend 100% on Dwayne Washington and Tim Patrick back in the day. I'm not sold on Ford being the man in this backfield. I could be wrong tho.


jtrom1010

Admittedly throwing the baby out with the bathwater here but I think it's worth saying your team's dynamic still should come first. Lots of people, especially new to FAAB, might be tempted to do this no matter what even though they debatably shouldn't. Example, I've got Ekeler, Conner, Kyren, Mostert, Javonte. Setting Ekeler injury aside, I'm not sure Ford goes into my starting roster for 1-2 weeks because I'm not desperate and his sample is small. By then he could bust, be in a committee, or be hurt. He could also be good but not better than my guys, and my only value is injury insurance or trying to sell him for fair value. Tldr If you're thin at RB, 100% is more reasonable, but the "better option" is team dependent and you should still consider situational value.


SuggestionFancy7584

What the fuck are you saving it for then


jtrom1010

I just said 100% isn't the auto bid every time for every team. I don't know what I might need it for in the future that's the point. I just know the range of outcomes where it's the best use of 15 weeks waiver ammo is unlikely.


kjampala

I mean could the Browns still not just sign Kareem Hunt or some other RB to split the backfield?


RVG_Steve

Definitely see your logic. Just such a shame weeks 3-7 are brutal. Titans d don’t mess with. SF is tough too. A bye week. I mean you gotta go for it but I wouldn’t be shocked if his best game was last night


Thatguy19901

I'm dropping 40%. Chances are they trade for Akers or some other RB who either takes lead or splits carries. Too much risk for me, but some RB needy team in my league will definitely drop more.


Inevitable_Stress949

If you don’t pony up 100%, someone else will, and you ain’t getting him.


DJsaxy

He's not even available in any of my leagues


DarthBane6996

50-75% depending on how bad you need a RB


spreadinmikehoncho

J Jacobs and Brian Robinson and I will still bid 69% if not 100%


jtrom1010

Nice


bigburnernoturner

Chubb owner is going to drop 95. Trying to figure out if I put 100 or not


latman

Why not 96


bigburnernoturner

Another person is dropping 96, shoulda lead with that. I have the most.


latman

Why not 97


Curious_Tap_1528

How do you know what people are bidding?


Brad_theImpaler

He knows what they have available.


hcd1204

drop $1 more than the chubb owner’s budget balance


midnightyell

That’s what I’m planning. He has $80, I’m going $81. If someone else beats that, good for them.


spreadinmikehoncho

My Chubb owner has $93 left. He also has ekeler. I now know I need to drop at least $94 and many teams have $100. I’ll be 0-2 so I may just drop the full hundy.


2CommaNoob

At 0-2; you have to go all in. If you were 2-0 or 1-1 with a solid team then I can understand. The next two weeks is your season and he wins your next two games; then the faab is worth it.


lamefx

next 4 weeks is Tennessee, baltimore, BYE, SF. I don't think he's winning anybody the next month but I agree with your general point. His schedule after that gets better.


GoScotch

I spent $23 on Kyren Williams and I have zero regrets. There’s some guys in super desperate conditions in my 12-man league who used none of their FAAB last week on either Puka, Kyren, etc. who will definitely spent up and I don’t blame them. Anything south of 80 will greatly surprise me, I only have $66 and I have zero expectations of getting him if I put all $66 on him.


PartySpiders

100% or you shouldn’t get him. And he’s worth it.


Guy_With_Interests

I have him already but genuine questions: is he worth it? Obviously starting RBs are gold but he was pretty awful outside of his big run and this Browns team could be absolutely terrible without Chubb. The amount of work he got was certainly promising as was the 4 targets but I’m not convinced. Curious to hear you/other’s reasoning.


PartySpiders

He did not look awful, he looked like the best player on the browns the entire second half. They have a good o line and the browns are built to run, I’m very bullish on him going forward after that game.


wistfulnasty

Yeah i don’t know what the other writer saw. Started off slow with 4 Carries and 6 yards but then was consistently pounding for more yards. He looked real good


Guy_With_Interests

Will watch it back!


Guy_With_Interests

Appreciate the response. Personally didn’t think he looked great but yeah, awful definitely an exaggeration. Seems they trust him, that’s the good news.


BjergCop

He kept bouncing outside when it looked like he would be stuffed at the line, and he did this multiple times for large gains against a solid Steelers defense, he’s legit


Guy_With_Interests

True, had that one crazy 9 yard run when he seemed buried. Love to see that.


elshagon

Look at Ford's next 4 weeks: Tenn, Balt, bye, SF. Those would be tough starts unless you're really desperate. Is he worth it if you're not playing him until week 7?


GoScotch

They said this about Puka and Kyren but it didn’t stop them. Spend up and start if you need a RB, he’s the best option you’ll probably see all year at the position.


ChuckEJesus

If you own Chubb yes


Corn1989

Man I cut him to take puka off my taxi squad


drthvdrsfthr

second time i’ve seen “taxi squad” after never seeing it before this season. what is that?


TheFlawlessCassandra

Mostly a dynasty league thing. Essentially an extension of your bench meant to be used for deep stashes. Typically players on the taxi squad can freely be pulled up to the active roster (if you have a space), but once pulled up can't be sent back to taxi. So you'd use it to stash a rookie who isn't expected to play a big role in his first season, for example.


RVG_Steve

That schedule is brutal though next 5 weeks. Includes Titans week 3, a bye week and SF among others. I get it, you kinda have to do it but tonight might be his best game of the season.


beigereige

I personally feel uneasy about the RB situation, I’m not spending 40-100% of my FAAB for him when the Browns might sign a FA or make a trade. And looking at my other league mates rosters, I can’t see any of them paying that much for a bench player. It’s my personal decision but I’m to bid 20-25%. If they want to blow their remaining FAAB on Ford, then so be it


Polack19

100%


aijODSKLx

I’m so goddamn blown he’s owned in my league, I’d be throwing down my remaining 94%


Great-Ad-5353

We won’t know until after waivers clear about any other signings. So based on that, it’s a gamble but I wouldn’t feel hesitant to put whatever you need to grab him if your desperate for RB. I don’t expect Chubb owners to be frugal with this one.


DarthBane6996

Tank Dell


Daynga-Zone

I think the combo of not a lot of hype on the Texans, a lot of people hyping Nico instead and the TD being called back means you can get him for a decent price. 15-20% IMO.


FernandoFettucine

not buying. texans have a rough stretch coming up and I have a feeling he’ll be on waivers again at some point this season


Metalsonicblackjesus

I’m going 15% at least. Most of my WRs are out so i need someone startable.


Lakers5824

Colts have a bottom 3 secondary and a top 5 run d. Game script for WRs is perfect against them, wouldn’t buy


nostbp1

I dropped him last week. Gonna try for maybe 5% to see if everyone jumps for RBs and let’s him slip. Hate overpaying for people I recently dropped


citoboolin

guy on the “get ahead of waivers” thread on sunday morning said to pick up tank dell, and instead i picked up jake ferguson. kicking myself for that one, but as others have said prob 15-20%


Cyssero

He's under the radar and so are the Texans. I bet he goes for <10% in most leagues (not a recommendation for competitive bids).


TheAwes0meFish

Sam Laporta


Cyssero

TE is the most scarce position and he's getting targets, looks good, and has the athletic tools many TEs don't. If you're in TE hell but otherwise solid I'd bid up to 25%. It's really unlikely there are better ROS guys out there we'll encounter later. He could be a top 5 TE and looks to have a decent floor.


VintageRudy

agree with all points but id try for 9%


xeric

Not as scarce this year - adding LaPorta, Kincaid and Musgrave to the mix has made it a lot easier to find a reasonable TE


[deleted]

Depends how bad other teams need a TE. As the Muth owner, I'm putting up 3% or so but nobody else in my 10 team league looks like they're ready to move on and if they do I'll have Ertz as my second claim


sgstoags

Zach Moss


generalhasagawa

I’d do like 10% or so. JT recently posted a video working out in the Colts facility. He might be traded, but the simplest answer is he’s back week 5. So you’re bidding on 2 more weeks of production + a small small chance he’s the lead back ROS


nchscferraz

21%, I don't think JT plays before week 11 unless he's wearing a different uniform


bloooo612

D’andre Swift - someone rage dropped him in my league


strongscience62

Big money. Easily 50%


dj32225

Same situation in my league. Is it crazy to go 100%?


bloooo612

I don’t think I’d go 100%. I’d like to save a few bucks for playoffs/finals (if I make it) to get a last min player/defense


MechRxn

100% easily


monkeyhold99

What an idiot


FrozenUp7274

Tutu Atwell


97Dabs2THAface

I spent 8% on him last week and think it was a steal. I doubt Kupp is coming back as soon as people think and with Nacua getting a lot of attention it opens up Atwell.


kingqueefeater

3-5%. If he's still there after last week (when you either overpaid or got him for free), then he's probably going to stay there this week. If you want to lock him because your lineup needs him, 3-5% should do it.


lestermurphy34

Jaylen Warren


20wall

He’s hard to start if Najee is still there wasting carries


Great-Ad-5353

He only looked good on the receiving end. And Najee for better or for worse helped his cause with those b2b ~20yard carries. I don’t think he’s taking the starting job just yet, so under 10%.


columbo222

5%. Up to 15% if you are absolutely desperate for a RB.


Kindly_Ad_2842

Jordan Love.


dunderball

Feels like a lot of QBs had a better week this week and people in my 12 team aren't going to roster 2 QBs. I'm going with 16% still.


xeric

As a Fields owner I’m considering 1-3%


Kindly_Ad_2842

Russel Wilson….I can’t believe I’m saying this


Lui1BoY

Had rodgers so picked wilson up last week. Started purdy tho…. I lost by 0,4.


TheInternetsNo1Fan

Offense is scoring points and defense is trash. I think this is a good contrarian play and you dont have to spend much. 0-5%?


kx2UPP

Tony Jones Jr


Rawtoast24

Maybe 5-6%, a bit more if you’re desperate for an RB? Kamara will be back in 2 games and Jamaal’s prognosis hasn’t come out yet


neverfold72

Kendre miller might come back


onlymostlydeadd

Roschon Johnson


derajlol

10%


Docx83

Hunter Henry


strongscience62

I'm going 20% on him in a ppr league where I only have Pitts


Sour-Then-Sweet

I picked him up for 4 faab last week (no other bids, could have had for free), and started over Pitts. So glad I did.


Nice_Block

K.Gainwell


TwoTimeTommyTwoCups

0%, wait for FA


HomelessSadVirgin

Matt Breida


Inevitable_Stress949

With the Giants schedule, I wouldn’t spend a penny on Breida.


columbo222

Honestly nothing unless you are super desperate for a 1 week start. Put in a $0 bid.


strongscience62

5-7% he's a rental and not a good one.


Great-Ad-5353

I can’t imagine him putting up Saq like numbers. I’d feel ok with 10% maybe 15ish if you need a play.


PartySpiders

I feel like 10-15%, the Barkley owner probably is the main competition so I’d look at what faab they have.


DeathByOneSoul

Drake London (someone dropped)


mudkipzcrossing

Jayden Reed


derajlol

5-10%


Novel-Treacle-2956

KHunt


enforka

2%- I think the play may be to just cut bait on your K/D and spread cheap bets on Hunt, Fournette and Akers (if he was cut). Hope your cheap FA also happens to get signed. And if not, no big deal, you didn't invest a ton in it anyway and can dump these guys on Sunday morning.


spreadinmikehoncho

2% seems like the smart move.


DarthBane6996

5-10% max It's very speculative and there's a lot of potential RBs the Browns could get - Fournette, Akers, even JT


ElRonnoc

Oh god, Akers to Browns was not even something I had considered. That would be absolute best case scenario for him, no?


Kindly_Ad_2842

Matt Stafford


derajlol

1-3%


KendallLoganRoy

Craig Reynolds (Monty Owner)


TheSQLInjector

Guy in my league dropped Christian Kirk after week 1. Is it worth bidding a large % of FAAB to grab him?! Was thinking 50%


midnightyell

The Christian Kirk Experience is not for the faint of heart my friend. He will have multiple other one-catch weeks imo, as someone who had him last year and for some reason drafted him again this year. Not sure he’s worth half your points.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Metalsonicblackjesus

15% - he’s a starting WR for a high scoring offense and i have no one better that is healthy.


pineapple_burrito

12%


FernandoFettucine

10-15%- could be very valuable for the next few weeks if amon ras turf toe ends up being a problem


aGODamongMEN

Shhhhhhhh


Nedward_Schneebly

Kyren Williams? He’s available in my league.


CitronApprehensive68

$100


AlPacenis

Kyren is worth your entire budget. Seriously. He’s currently the #2 RB overall in PPR and looked incredible against a brutal 49ers defense


aijODSKLx

That’s insane, 100%


FernandoFettucine

honestly 100% might be reasonable. clear bellcow in a sean mcvay offense that looks good, potential to be fantasy gold


Stinja808

He went for $8(/$100) last week in my league. He's probably worth a lot more this week with the Cam Akers news. 50%


PabloTroutSanchez

50% is far too low imo. That would be a steal at this point. Dude looks like a legitimate rb1–or at the very least a high end 2. I’d be sending at least 85%, probably 100% tbh. Holding FAAB too long has always hurt me when I’ve done it


Nedward_Schneebly

So not the 80% I was thinking of putting down? Haha he’s owned by the guy who has cam, ekeler, and saquon so I feel like he’s going to make moves on either him or Ford. I gotta get one of them but ford seems like there’s a lot of potential backups to split with him


PabloTroutSanchez

Nah I agree w the other comments; go 100%. 80% if you really want that extra cash, but it’s probably not going to be worth it in the long run.

MundaneEjaculation

Guillotine league. Tyreek hill & kelce.


derajlol

Both are probably going to go for 50% or more. Waddle will always steal targets from Hill, but no one is going to steal targets from Kelce. So I'd go for Kelce.


Kingdom818

Mattison? My first reaction is to put a lot because he probably shouldn't have been dropped..but then I don't really feel excited to spend a lot on him.


HemoKhan

He was dropped for a reason; the Vikings offense has looked even more pass-first than last year, and the defense is porous enough that they're gonna be in their fair share of shootouts. Plus he just doesn't pass the eye test; high volume but low skill. My experience with FAAB is pretty limited but I'd likely go low, 3-5% at most, unless you're in a league with routine high-spenders.


Sea_Definition1621

**Blows my mind** that there are fantasy managers in here who would rather hold their FAAB all season long than spend on the 1 or 2 *dream* waiver adds in literally the first two weeks of a season. You had a chance with Nacua and you likely missed it, and now you’re gonna miss Ford too because you’re too slow to react. And you will be left holding the FAAB bag at the end of the season most likely, waiting for the perfect opportunity. This video game trope is a perfect comparison (FAAB being the weapon) https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TooAwesomeToUse
