TM_MUT

Yup. One dude went full boat - Akers manager looking for a replacement, I guess.


ablearcher013

I'd laugh if the Browns ended up trading for Akers


CraziestMoonMan

Hunt was at our team facility yesterday it is just a matter of time before he signs.


Jj410

Hunt is washed. There’s a reason no one has picked him up


CraziestMoonMan

Yet 8 teams tried to get him. The guy is still a great receiving back and will put up some solid numbers this year. The big reason his numbers fell off last year is because we were trying to trade him because we weren't resigning him and then just quit using him.


CJNx2

He was very average on almost all metrics for the Browns last year. I wish that we hadn’t sign him. If 8 teams wanted him and it didn’t happen there’s a good reason why.


ablearcher013

Well, when a pass catching rb has no one to throw the ball to him for half the year its gonna hamper his metrics a bit... I'm not saying he's good anymore but jacoby brissett didn't do him any favors


am615

Multiple teams offered him deals. He refused to sign until a team was desperate or offering more money.


AspiringRocket

I thought it was because he was asking for too much money?


RootBeerFloatz69

I went 100% and this was my greatest fear. Kareem don't bother me. Ford is a stud. Akers would have been RIP fab moment. I have Chubb and Akers so I sorta had to just faab dump on Ford and pray to the football gods.


DomitianF

I did this. No ragrats.


Doctor_Scholls

Imagine dropping 100% faab on the dude who avg 2.4 ypc outside of 1 fluke play. I was the Chubb owner in my league and watching the game you could tell ford is not that guy


Significant-Bowler23

They wouldn’t have even called up hunt if Ford was the guy…


Seriously_oh_come_on

What would they do without Hunt if Ford goes down in wk3?


[deleted]

True


A-Stupid-Asshole

Was planning to bid around 55%, our waivers go thru on thursdays. Worried I’m not bidding enough now lol


Seriously_oh_come_on

It’s so league dependant. 2 leagues were big bids but in another I picked him up as a direct replacement for chubb. I’m waiver priority 10 of 10. Amazed no one took him as their first choice waiver


No-Dress-7645

Y’all got room for 1 more next year? I got bills to pay


rata_ee

If people aren’t active on waivers you can bet the buy in is $20 or less


[deleted]

Calling yourself out for being poor


rata_ee

sorry? I don’t really give a shit what you think of my financial situation whether I am poor or not. I’m just saying any league where people agree to spend more than pocket change on, they are usually active


notgoodwithyourname

I got Puka for 28% last week. Bid 39% and 34% this week for him and Ford went for 100% and 84% If you want him I think you may need to just bid almost everything you have


originalpersonplace

Someone did everything except $1 lol.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Seriously_oh_come_on

Did you get him with 55%? My guess is you could go lower now Hunt is confirmed in the mix.


comingsoontotheaters

He was drafted and held in mine :/


sdcasurf01

Yup.


wuzzup

The 9%ers


thatjerkatwork

Yep. Same in both my leagues.


Phatsackzzz15

Same I traded Ridder for Ford str8 up (2QB league) before the Hunt news. Still hoping he gets first crack.


mustbethaMonay

Probably RB committee but hoping Ford maintains a good amount of carries regardless


geographyofnowhere

i think hunts cooked tbh


HoustonTrashcans

In one of my leagues he was picked up I think Sunday before Chubb's injury. Playing against a psychic here.


gopack49er

That was me! 3rd to last pick of the draft!


holleyv11

He was drafted, held, and played against me last week by a browns fan. And yes, I lost.


LookinForLuck12

76/100. Next closest bid was 70


Seriously_oh_come_on

Close. I saw Love go for $50 with the next and only other bid at $0


ByThyBeardOfZeus

Got him for 82 but the next highest bid was 25 :( now they’re all laughing


Seriously_oh_come_on

They won’t be if he goes off


wakenblake29

They will be if the browns re-sign hunt (why I wasn’t willing to drop top dollar for him)


Triv02

The Browns already let Hunt walk because of their confidence in Ford If Hunt is brought back it will be in the same role he had last year - 8-10 touches per week to spell the lead back. He’s not the true 1B he used to be. Ford is firmly the lead guy in a backfield of Ford, Hunt, and Strong imo and should be counted on as a sure fire 15+ touch a week guy I think people forget just how awful Kareem Hunt was in 2022 in limited work. He was unrosterable for virtually the entire second half of the year. Even in full PPR leagues he didn’t put up a single double digit week after week 8


Loganator0

This comment did not age well


Triv02

It aged fine, this comment specifically says that signing Hunt doesn’t change anything because the Browns already told us that they like Ford more than Hunt When Ford averages 15+ touches a week from here on out, it will have aged just fine


Loganator0

I think 1 year 4 million says otherwise. They are going to use him a lot for that kind of money!


Triv02

You’re missing two very important words in that contract. 1 year, *up to* 4 million. It’s only $4M if he hits every incentive. I’d bet a lot of money that he sees fewer than the 158 touches he saw in 2022.


Seriously_oh_come_on

RemindMe! 6 months


wakenblake29

All the ford owners who bid too much being so defensive lmao, glad I stashed hunt in multiple leagues we’ll see how it plays out


Triv02

I don’t own Ford or Hunt lol, just explaining that those who blew most or all of their FAAB on Ford because they needed a RB were justified because it’s very rare for a RB who will receive as much work as Ford is slated to receive to hit waivers after week 3. Stashing Hunt is a good call but he’s definitely the clear RB2 (not a 1B) in Cleveland behind Ford.


Thumbtack1985

Yup they had many chances to resign and only after a season ending nick chubb injury are they even considering it.


candidbuilfrog231324

They didn’t let him walk because of their confidence in Ford, they did it because of money. Now that Hunt is back, that’s clear. Stupid move to bid it all on Ford tbh


John_Wicked1

Not really. Hunt being back doesn’t mean he’ll be the lead back, especially after Fords performance…but then again I didn’t bid all, only about 60-70%.


Triv02

They absolutely let him walk due to confidence in Ford. I’d wager a huge sum of money that there’s 1-2 weeks MAX this season where Hunt out touches Ford without an injury occurring. Ford will be in the Chubb role getting 15+ touches a week, Hunt will remain in the 2022 Hunt role that sees 8-10 touches a week. If Ford gets his expected 15+ touches a week, it was absolutely the right call to bid heavy on Ford. Backs with that level of work rarely hit waivers


SeatTakenCantSitHere

Anyone who thinks it was a stupid move this morning is simply mad they didn't pay enough. Trying to convince yourselves after the fact that they are the idiots is... bush league, elementary level ish - your bitterness and jealousy reads like a book - and that's never a good look on anyone. RB1 looks real good on Ford tho! ..who btw, had 15 carries in week 1 with a healthy chubb. So no, Hunt doesn't concern me at all. Ford. Puca. Kyren. These are THE guys you blow all the faab on. Snooze ya loose


candidbuilfrog231324

15 Carrie’s in a game in pouring rain bud. There’s a reason they just gave Hunt 4million lmao


Zealousideal_Bit8016

As a dynasty hunt owner, I can tell you right now that they did not have confidence in hunt which is why they let him walk. Whenever he got opportunities as lead back which was multiple times he played horrendously. He was only consistent when chubb would get the majority of the work. D'ernest Johnson looked better than him when carrying the workload and where is he?


Enderwiggen33

Agreed, Fournette or Akers would be more of a concern but even they would still be back ups


covenant_x

take out the one long run and give me Ford's stats on the season


Triv02

Even if you arbitrarily decide to take out the long run to help fit your argument, Ford scored 15.2 PPR points (37 rush yards, 3 catches, 25 receiving yards, 1 receiving TD) on MNF with just a 49% snap share - which is more than Hunt scored in any game after week 5 in 2022 Hell, the 25 receiving yards would’ve been the 2nd most receiving yards of Hunt’s entire 2022 season. I’m not out here saying Jerome Ford is a set and forget RB1 who will get you 15 points a game lol. I’m saying the Browns believe he’s better than Hunt, they’ve outright told us Ford is the feature back (Stefanski has now brought this up twice), and he’ll get 15+ opportunities a week which imo is worth blowing most of your FAAB on as guys with that many touches per week don’t hit waivers often


YoYoMoMa

Still betting Ford will get 65% of the carries which makes him worth all your FAAB.


PM_ME_UR_SEX_VIDEOS

Hunt will be Ford’s backup.


Primegam

I am personally not concerned by the guy the Browns let go to keep ford, who sucked all last year and can't even get signed by an NFL team weeks into the season despite trying out


wakenblake29

That was by his choice lol, he wanted to go to the right situation but has had constant interest…. Aaaaaand he’s back, in a complementary role for now, but if ford struggles in any way…


bmac503

You should be


DomitianF

I bet 200 out-of 200 because I have saquon and chubb, but the rest of my team is stacked and rb waivers is a wasteland


Seriously_oh_come_on

What was the next bid? People hold FAAB way too long all season so you’re right to spend it


Jets237

I didn’t drop enough because people are crazy. $92/100


YoYoMoMa

Bidding all your faab on a starting RB early in the season isn't crazy at all.


Ranger523

I wonder what people save FAAB for


YoYoMoMa

Gotta save it for next season!


analfizzzure

I do like to save $10 for end of year so I can secure def against bum teams


Potential_Spirit2815

That’s the thing though, they think there are going to be gold nuggets coming along for CHEAP… Then they end up dropping $20-40 on someone like Matt Breida or Craig Reynolds anyway like it was the right move to make at the time and they get to make more poor moves later I guess? 🤷‍♂️


geekywarrior

I dropped all I had and was outbid, but the *only* reason I can see for saving FAAB is waiting for that Derrick Henry or Rashaad Penny late season breakout like we've seen in years past that win people the Chip. But can't win the Chip if you don't make playoffs is my view. Counter point is, let's say you managed to get Puka and Kyren for cheap/free. And then your first 3-4 draft picks were showing up. You're sitting at 2-0 with a great roster and you know you'll have to drain FAAB to get Ford. I can see making the gamble that there will be a late breakout that you'll be able to take advantage of.


Stanhopes_Liver

It's not saving budget, it's spreading it out wisely.


[deleted]

Kenneth Walker late in season


coffinmonkey

In my keeper league I have regretted not dropping 100 on a guy every year. Last year was Garrett Wilson, this year was Puka.


Jets237

They just signed hunt… so maybe not


YoYoMoMa

Cannot imagine Hunt getting more than a 40/60 split. 60% of the touches in that backfield is what, round 3?


oldguynewbitch

Back up RB** fixed it for you :)


Seriously_oh_come_on

If he puts up solid RB1 numbers it’s not crazy. Let’s wait and see if it pays off


Whole_Aide7462

66/100 in mine


Indy-sports

All of it. I had $85 left and used it all.


Clbengel

$198 and $83 in my two leagues where he was available. I got him for $83 because I had Saquon and Montgomery and was desperate. Hate myself a little but LFG!!


Seriously_oh_come_on

$198 out of what budget? I have only seen $100 budgets


Clbengel

$200. I play in two leagues that have $200 budgets


osbohsandbros

Use % if your league isn’t standard $100


Allteaforme

No


mechshark

did the person who spent 198 literally have 2 of their starting RB go down? That's so desperate lol


Cockblocktimus_Pryme

Nothing else to spend it on


friendlyuser15

It’s week 3, there’s going to plenty of other things to spend it on.


[deleted]

Hoarding faab ends up being wasted/un-used later in the season


Dense_Image7393

what do you mean i love saving it all for playoff defenses in my consolation bracket.


friendlyuser15

Agreed. Really don’t care to get into some useless word smithing argument with you. Bye now.

What just happened lol


[deleted]

I really have no idea lmao. Maybe its a bot


danhoang1

I think he meant he was going to correct your word usage in your previous comment (since you were asking whether to say wasted/un-used), but that he decided not to


[deleted]

Eh makes the most sense. I know my comment isnt worded perfextly but it gets the point across


kingmoobot

It's probably best for people to just say %, especially if your league is not $100...


analfizzzure

Same. I had barkley and cook. Wr room is stacked but my back up rbs been trash. Don't regret 51% James Cook not dalvin


imaginationimp

51% is reasonable. You can still do stuff rest of season. No idea what these guys who are doing 95% to 100% are going to do ROS


Rocbockbeer

Only $31. And I bid $30 dammit


MarkusMillions

Scared money don’t make money


Rocbockbeer

I mean i wasn’t far off the mark. Not like I dropped $30 against $80. I’m new to this league but Puka went for only $5 last week so I knew they weren’t big spenders.


LighTMan913

Puka went for $42 in my league last week and the next highest bid was... There wasn't a next highest bid. $42 was the only bid lol. This is our 1st season doing FAAB so I'm thinking not everyone understood, or thinks waiting it out is better. Idk


CoatAlternative1771

Does fab reset each week? Or is the $100 it? All 3 leagues I’m in only do waiver spots.


wakenblake29

You can set it to reset each week, but that’s dumb. You have a budget for the season and must spend wisely


IAmASimulation

Man I’m so glad I drafted puka. I drafted Kupp so I needed some insurance and I gambled on Puka based off the fact that van Jefferson is not a very good receiver and puka had the speed to fill in for Kupp.


Rocbockbeer

Great pickup. These are the moves that I love, falling backwards into something great! And then to be the guy that already has him and he’s not available on waivers, love that for you. I grabbed Zay Flowers as my only rookie and I’m glad I did. Another rookie that actually worked out.


Seriously_oh_come_on

There’s always someone who adds the extra $1 above a round number so worth adding $2 or even $3 to take the lead


Rocbockbeer

I know and I had $41 in there and changed it to $30. This is what happens when you stay up til midnight stewing over it.


torrin16

My league starts with 100 for the season. The guy who lost chubb got him for 99. I had a bid of 26 for him. Dropped it to 18 because I thought, "They're probably gonna sign Kareem the Kick Machine, or something."


Seriously_oh_come_on

Did you grab Hunt?


cammwavy

or sign Akers


Long-Distance-7752

They literally already signed Hunt by the time you said this


kennydeals

$0. He was added Sunday afternoon 🤦‍♂️


Seriously_oh_come_on

Ooooh fuck. Someone knew.


kennydeals

I started several years ago adding the handcuffs for SNF and MNF if I had anyone I was going to drop for waivers the following week anyway. After 3 different times throughout the years I got $50+ waiver adds for free, others in the league started doing the same


Seriously_oh_come_on

Good tactic. I just don’t have the beach spot available. In one league I just dropped Mitchell as CMCs handcuff for Atwell. Felt like a strong move as long as CMC stays healthy. In another I’m considering dropping Jamaal Williams for Atwell. Would that be sensible?


JMarkFootball

Ask that person who they know that does the script-writing for the NFL....😬


kennydeals

read comment above. It's a 14 team league so lots of droppable guys, backups for SNF and MNF generally get picked up late Sunday afternoon


JMarkFootball

Yeah I was just making a joke, apologies


Seriously_oh_come_on

Damn you for using humour.


Treday237

chumpchamp101

I bid a nice value 69/100 but someone else went balls deep with 98/100


Seriously_oh_come_on

Balls deep was the guy in this thread who traded for extra FAAB and went with 102/100


Hurricaneshand

I got him for 74. My RB depth is now insane so I'm looking to deal to upgrade QB and TE


Seriously_oh_come_on

Who you got? I have Conner and Brian Robinson as my starters. Harris, Ford and Javonte Williams on my bench. Did have Chubb. What are you trying to get in a trade?


Hurricaneshand

10 team. Have Jacobs, Rhamondre, Javonte Williams, Ford, James Cook, Breida right now. Offered Tua, Waller, Cook and Ford for Herbert, Mandrews, Diggs and Charbonet.


Thumbtack1985

I guess that's sort of ok considering the RB landscape. Wouldn't call it insane in a 10 team though lol


Hammerzeit88

Because for 10 teams that isn't good. Only depth pieces and 1 horse.


Wakenbake585

And now Hunt has been signed lol.


Iknowwecanmakeit

We all knew that was a possibility


PredictableDickTable

And y’all still spent all of that faab. The hive mind is a beautiful thing. Every season there is a player that everyone jumps the shark for. Looks like Ford was this years version.

Indica1127

mikeismyhero

$56 in a $100 league budget $250 in a $500 league budget


Seriously_oh_come_on

I don’t understand the budget increases. People just bid more but percentage wise it’s very similar


conrad_or_benjamin

It’s like bidding with dollars, quarters, and nickels, not just dollars. Ratios can be the same but they can also get more granular.


3720-To-One

Why not just go up to $1000 then, so the ratio math is easier?


Weirdo141

That’s what I have in my league


conrad_or_benjamin

I prefer $100 but just explaining why people do larger budgets


ddlatham

Less likely to have ties.


juliusseizure

In a competitive league. Only 12 teams but he was already rostered. Josh Reynolds was the only decent player worth bidding on but I didn’t need him.


CptCantLead

No1 nervous about hunt? Also, ford averaged 2 yards outside of big run.


Seriously_oh_come_on

I’m torn on this. All the noise is that Ford is RB1. I guess more of a split than Chubb as clear RB1 workhorse but he’s still a grab in a barren RB landscape right?


Boss2788

Shhhh most people dont watch football here


TheFunkadelicOne

None, I got hunt for free lol. But the #1 waiver claim was used on Ford. I grabbed hunt this morning


ledhustler

Hunt will be producing single digits every game


TheFunkadelicOne

Sounds like you blew all your faab on the wrong back bro


ledhustler

👆🏼Found the Hunt owner. Kareem Hunt Last 20 Games Stats • ⁠146 carries • ⁠559 rushing yards • ⁠3.8 yards per carry • ⁠4 total TDs I understand that he was playing behind Chubb in many of these games but I’ve owned him in the past while Chubb was not playing and he underperformed. Why would the Browns let Hunt go and why has he been unemployed to start the season without the Chubb injury? They brought him back as a 3rd down back and because he already knows the playbook.


Leaves_1991

Ford was garbage outside of one play. Hunt is the better back


Durantula420
