My son got into his first league this year, with me and a friend from work. ESPN PPR 10 team. From his team below you will never guess who he roots for:
QB: Hurts
RB: Penny, Swift, D Harris, Jamaal Williams, Singletary,
WR: AJ Brown, Deebo, B Cooks, Hopkins, Lockett, S Moore, Osborne
TE: Goeddert
K: Gay
DST: Eagles
Three options in my opinion.
1. Drop Osborn for a waiver RB (Zeke, Tank Bigsby, Warren, Achane, Hunt)
2. Trade Lockett or Deebo?
–he tried to trade Lockett for Montgomery but owner never responded.
Two possible trades are Lockett or Deebo for B Robinson Jr or Perine.
I’d usually strongly advise against drafting players from your favorite team, as you tend to over-value them.
With the 2023 Eagles, things could actually work out. That BYE week will be brutal, though.
The issue is indeed with the RBs. The Eagles’ RB1 is Jalen Hurts. Other than that, the only Eagles RB I’d recommend drafting is Kenny Gainwell as your team’s RB3 or 4. He’s cheap and has RB2 upside, which always is a favorable combination.
Despite just having outed myself as a KJ Osborn fanboy, I would indeed recommend to drop him here and grab an RB instead. I honestly couldn’t tell you which one, though. Probably Achane, as he might have the most upside of them all.
I think I’d drop Skyy before Osborn, but he’s a kid, it’s probly more important to let him experience the death or glory of his own decisions rather than to lose because of his dad’s advice (or even to be carried to victory by Axe Elf).
I would be more concerned about his first 3 rounds all going to the same bye week and if Brown is catching a ball, it means that Goedert isn’t (and vice/versa).
