In redraft, this is virtually impossible, since “long term” investments are fruitless. In dynasty/keeper, the ability to identify and manage long term assets is essential. Knowing when to buy, sell, and hold is the key to success. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bhawks489 3,678 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 He’s still around 5th round value which I think is fine but that’s where I like to grab a WR. Why are people so sure he’s going to be the lead back over AP? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What does the team gain by riding the wheels off of Peterson? It might not be immediate, but I have a feeling he’s going to be on a lot of contending fantasy teams late in the year as a flex or better Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And it’s not like AP was bad last year. This is is a tough one for me to judge. I picked him up in a bunch of best balls going WR early. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The end of his contract when the team is mediocre instead of bad? He’s on his rookie deal playing for the lowest amount of money he’ll ever play for, the youngest and freshest he’ll ever be. Again, if healthy there is ZERO reason not to run him and run him a lot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lamont Sanford 1,781 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 With a strong defense, the Redskins could rely on an equally strong running game to be competitive. Guice could certainly be leaned upon heavily, along with AP. If Guice is legitimately ready, no reason to hold him back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not confident he’ll be the lead back at the very beginning of the season, but can definitely see him taking over at some point early this season. Guice showed to be explosive enough to make the most of limited touches, so anything more would be a major boom. Edited July 25, 2019 by Mr2Saint Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mdw5048 581 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 The hamstring injury is typical of coming off an ACL (Dalvin last season). I think he splits to start with AP and then takes the reigns. By this time next season we will be banging the table for him just like last season allll over. Remember that preseason first half against the Pats... that’s what we’ll see second half of this season. Next year he’ll be in the mix for a first 2 rounds kind of pick. This season is APs swans song. Pair Guice with the second year of Haskins and it’s wheels up. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Olliemets 471 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I like Guice at his current 5th-6th round ADP but I can definitely see that rising if he stays healthy and looks good in the preseason. Between AP stealing early down work in the early part of the season at least, and Chris Thompson being in on passing downs (until he gets hurt), I don't know if I'd take him over the Carson/Drake/Michel group with all of the time share + bad offense concerns assuming he jumps into the 4th.

ralphg13 386 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 This might be more of an assistant coach forum question, if so feel free to move it. Anyone who added him late last season and could use your keeper on him in the 11th-13th round (whatever your format it is), with this news is that a solid keeper over some of the other sure things that provide value based on their keeper round?

Agreed, he should go after the Carson/Lindsay/Drake group. Just got him in the 9th round of a competitive 10 teamer. 7th round in a 12 teamer might still be doable- until the hype train starts rolling.

Because Guice might be injury-prone and Love presented far too good of value to pass up. I would not be at all surprised if Love was the bell cow by the end of the year and highly touted next year.

Drafted him last year and let him sit on my bench the whole year just so he'd be there as a 12th round keeper this year. I'm locked in on him as one of my keepers. Even if he only provides medium value this year, theoretically he'll provide insane value as an 11th round keeper next year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fabrini 131 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Derrius Guice said he was a full participant at practice on Thursday. This confirms coach Jay Gruden's Wednesday comments that Guice will be ready for camp. Guice said he felt great in the first day of camp, so his hamstring injury from earlier this month looks to be behind him. After an August ACL tear kept him on the sidelines last season, Guice will be competing for carries with Adrian Peterson.

Lamont Sanford 1,781 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Indeed, Guice was a full participant on day one, and he’s awfully excited. Good for him. Great interview below, going to be a fun fantasy player. https://www.redskins.com/video/derrius-guice-i-was-a-full-participant-day-one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
