3 Runningbacks to trade for right now would be Derrick Henry, Jonathan Taylor, and James Robinson.
Now is the perfect time to trade for all three of these guys... all for different reasons.
1. Derrick Henry
Doubters are still doubting, and that's why you pull the trigger for him if you can.
Most people thought this was a year of regression for him, but to be honest by the looks of things he's only getting started.
He's dealt with an unhealthy offensive line for the past three weeks and still is the only player producing on their team.
Last season Derrick Henry averaged 126 yards a game. People said "it's too much nobody can do that". You're right it is.
In three games this season he's already averaging 117 yds a game.
SMH
Plus he gets to play the Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars twice a year.
God people are stupid. The dude is an absolute unit that nobody can tackle and you think Defenses are going to just automatically jump him at the line.
Now that they actually have decent WRs (Julio Jones and AJ Brown) to scare away teams from boxing him out, expect Henry to keep moving the chains per usual.
For all these reasons... if someone is trying to get rid of Derrick in dynasty, redraft, whatever. I would take it. I don't know that there is another RB like him in the league.
DERRICK IS DIFFERENT.
Nuf said.
2. Jonathan Taylor
I think Taylor bounces back at least in the second half of the season.
Colts offense as a whole is going through a lot of changes and new parts especially when they are trying to operate the offense around how Wentz plays.
The production has been there for Taylor, but the carries haven't. I'm going to bet once the second half of the season starts when Taylor is getting 20+ carries per game you're going to wish you had him on your team.
Not a sophomore slump when your not slumping... ok that didn't make sense for this but whatever.
Not only all this good stuff, but he's also got one of the easiest schedules in the NFL.
Good luck to those who don't have Taylor in their lineup moving forward!!
Sucks to suck.
3. James Robinson
He had me.
I almost fell for the trap.
I usually do not gonna lie, I get caught up in the "oh no he did so bad after 2 weeks I'm done with him".
Nah. Chill.
Once they get him the ball more and figure out their offense he will be back in business.
We saw it a little bit tonight in the TNF game of Jags vs Bengals.
Give Robinson the ball and good things happen.
He's low key one of their best weapons and if Urban Meyers hasn't noticed it yet, he's gonna be donezo in the league faster than you can say banana.
People are still going to doubt his performance and want to sell him. And you know what... I say BUY BUY BUY!!!
I think the first two games were just a snag. No Sophomore slump for Robinson kids.
This is your calling. Go get James Robinson and thank me later.
