I agree that Ekeler is a better fit, only problem is, what are you gonna get for him? He’s looked terrible since he came back. No one is gonna give you a 2nd round pick for him.

Crazy, I must’ve missed him saying that. This is getting quite old, Ekeler is going to get phased out more and more. Gordon is the man, a true 3 down back. It’ll be 70/30 split before ya know it and Ekeler will just be a handcuff that you once loved. I get it, I hope your fantasy team does okay still. Best of luck. I just don't understand how people BLATANTLY ignore obvious fact. Ekeler was RB 25 in PPR last year.....while missing two games with MGIII getting 175 carries and 66 targets. Ekeler IS A BIG PART OF THIS OFFENSE......WITH Gordon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Detroit may need a three down cat right 'bout now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And what they can get for him if he walks and signs a big contract. They could potentially get the same or a bit worse compensation earlier by trading him this season though. I think the major issue is the RB market, not so much his play looking shaky this season. His play further complicates matters though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This return has surely deflated his value in an already down rb market. The 2020 rookie rb class is off the charts too. The comp pick formula is based on aggregate team losses to FA- not individual contracts signed... so it really depends on what the chargers do. If Rivers returns, they’ll prob bring in as much talent as they lose...rendering comp value moot for MG3. Assuming this is case- they would be smart to deal Gordon for almost any pick they can get. A fourth or fifth would be lovely. Edited October 21, 2019 by Impreza178 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HOF12 348 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Shiiit at this point they might as well trade Gordon to a team that has a solid offensive lineman. The o line looks horrible. Im glad they went to ekeler a bit more this week. They have to realize by now that ekeler is the one that moves the chains more at this point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Broncos132 350 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Gonna be hard to sit this guy ROS. Offense looks better with him in there. Hell probably put up weekly RB2 numbers in PPR tbh Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think your premise was faulty. MGIII is a talented dude. We knows this. It's just that LAC has no use for a three down workhorse with beer vendors filling in along the line these days. They just need guys who can catch. And at 2-5 they're not gonna have a whole lot of patience for Melvin shaking off ball security rust. He may have a part to play yet. He's still a talented dude and there's plenty of season left. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonstopfan 4,586 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I don't know why people keep saying that it has to Gordon OR Ekeler. Why can't it be both. The OC has to get more creative. I was watching the game and Ekeler was running slant routes like Wes Welker. Yes, watching the game he reminded me of Welker when they moved him out wide. Why can't both of these backs be used the right way? Put both of them on the field. It opens up so many options and mismatches. Both can be fantasy relevant in a big way. Ekeler is a mismatch for any safety, nickel corner or LB. Gordon is their workhorse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Since MG has come back the offense has struggled to stay on pace...they try running the ball with him and thry dont get much..they try throwing the ball to him and he cant make a guy miss..part of it could be rust but part of it is he plodder lol all jokes aside he isn't effective and puts the offense in tougher spots...with ekeler they can dump it off to him and he will take it 10 yards..they can line him wide..they can even run the ball and not give it away as much because the offense expects pass...i thought gordon could be the tough yard back but with the line issues and his inability to make yards after contact he is no bueno...it can be a split but ekeler should dominate that split...he also earned it Edited October 22, 2019 by Power-O 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MKO3090 128 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Man this has turned out as perfect as I could have hoped for. One more stinker by MG, one more loss for the Chargers, and it's a wrap. If they can find a trade destination (Chicago), I suspect MG is gone. And if they can't, Jackson,is set to return and has played MUCH better. The 1st 4 weeks may be the best indication of where the season is headed. Trust your instincts! If a player is producing top 5 #s at his position, it usually means something. The amount of experts ignoring the tea leaves is staggering. I mean this isn't over yet, but it almost is.

lla887 323 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 A trade makes a lot sense but I wouldn’t hold my breath it happens. There just aren’t a lot of big midseason trades in this league. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He plods, the Chargers fall behind, and it's the Ekeler show for the rest of the game (vs. Denver, vs. Tennessee). The only annoying part is the GL, but that'll change if MG continues this level of play. And really what indication is there that MG will find the inner Barry Sanders he's never had. Unsurprisingly, Lynn came out with a quote very displeased with the 6 inches MG couldn't get. Edited October 22, 2019 by MKO3090 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This trade works only if LA loses next week, effectively ending their season at 2-6. In effect, CHI would be 4-3 and deep in the playoffs hunt.
