I'm torn, but was strongly leaning keeping him. The initial offers I was receiving didn't blow me away, Lacy, Dez, AP or a later 5th round pick. In our format, you have to keep two (1-2 rd) and have the option to keep a third or fourth, thus forgoing your third and/or fourth rd pick. The offers have been increasing at a rapid pace to the levels of Hopkins or a very high 5th rd pick. I was trying to work something for Cooper, but it seems unlikely.
I'd be curious to hear people's thoughts on Hopkins, as he is another WR I'm not nearly as high on as most, but straight up for Robinson is appealing.
Thank you to any/all who responded initially.
Not a big fan of Lamar Miller in the first rd for a pretty simple reason. He isn't that good.
Unless a guy is in an elite offense or behind an elite offensive line, taking a RB that isn't of elite talent in rd 1 just isn't something I'm a big fan of doing. Especially these days when if you struggle a little bit and aren't a main cog, then they just find someone else to take some of your carries.
He could definitely have a big year if he stays healthy, but just not someone I'd want at his current value.

Thats just the thing though, reports are that he is that good.
they are saying his speed, acceleration, vision is at another level.
I'm even hearing he will have a historic season
I wouldn't draft him unless he fell to round 2, and maybe not even then. I'm just conveying what the reports are saying
Cruise I've seen Lamar Miller play plenty, he isn't some rookie.
He's a solid RB but is a team gonna give him 350 touches? For 1 season it might happen and it does happen, but the guys who tend to rack up the big workload and/or deliver in fantasy usually fall into a few categories...
1. Extremely talented, elite for RB position.
2. Really good "system" or offense that provides tons of opportunity.
He just doesn't fall into those for me. And these days it is harder than ever to break through if you don't.
It wouldn't surprise me if he had a good year, but that is the type of player that tends to get overvalued. As long as he bumps his workload up then I'm sure he will be solid. I think him going top 10 among RB's has more to do with how thin RB is nowadays though.
It isn't like we haven't seen what the guy can do, he has played 48 games and got most of the Dolphins workload the last 3 years.

Here is someone that I consider undervalued and in a week or so JustinCruise will also consider undervalued.
Jeremy Langford - His talent is questionable but the Bears offense is good enough and he looks like he is atleast going to get a chance at getting all of the work. Right now I see his ADP as 27th amongst RB's. If his role is what it looks like it will be then he should be much higher.
But he probably will move up as there is more clarity.

What is great about the system?
Every year there is a back that gets the breakout label and every year they fall flat on thier face.
Javid Best
Andre Ellington
etc...
Id much rather Elliot or Johnson because they have talent and they are actually in a great system . They have both of the requirements needed to be successful . Miller has neither .
If you're suggesting I always agree with you, it ends with Lamar Miller. Not saying he's going to be a stud necessarily, but you are off base in your opinion that he was some kind of workhore in Miami and that he isn't walking into a great situation
Bears still saying they are sticking with the commitee approach which worries me on Langford. 27 is still too low though
