I have Toney on my dynasty team, so I'm very happy, but unless he's been faking these soft tissue injuries to force his way out of NY, I'd only be cautiously optimistic. He struggled with injuries throughout college as well.
I could use some advice here. I might be looking at a golden opportunity in one of my 10 man leagues.
His WR are:
Deebo Samuel (hamstring)
Davante Adams (suspension?)
Ja'marr Chase (short-term IR?)
Michael Thomas (Foot)
Nico Collins (Texans lol)
Darnell Mooney
My WR are:
DeAndre Hopkins
Gabriel Davis
CeeDee Lamb
Brandon Aiyuk
Courtland Sutton
Drake London
Rashod Bateman
Tyler Boyd
Through trades/draft/waivers I've been able to assemble a pretty damn deep group of #2 WRs, but I don't have that league winning #1 WR. This other guy is 2-5 and might be desperate, so those short term injuries are a big deal as he needs to start stacking wins to make the playoffs.
I'm thinking of trying to leverage injuries, and specifically Chase's, to work a trade. I'm worried about chase possibly being a misdiagnosed labral year (a much worse and lingering injury than a flexor strain) and a tough playoff schedule. But he apparently played through injury last week where he looked good, and Chase should be matchup proof. Also worried about Adams potential suspension, but I assume it'd 1 or 2 games at most.
Think Lamb + Boyd is worth it for either of those players? Under pay, over pay, or an even deal not worth making? Wonder if he's desperate enough for something like Gabe Davis and Boyd for Chase.
Aint nobody giving up Chase for Boyd and Davis.
I probably would give up Lamb and Sutton and/Or any of the trio of London, Bateman for Chase either Nico Or Mooney
Boyd filling in for Chase and DHop back gives you a nice 1-2. Throw in Aiyuk, Davis for 3/4 and I'd be more than willing to wait fir Chase. Boyd is going to offset the loss of Lamb. Chase will be an upgrade over Lamb once he returns.
I just don't see Chase owner giving him away for nothing just because of injuries
EDIT: I wouldn't move Boyd if I'm getting Chase in return. As you said, what if injury is worse Tham initially thought. Having Boyd would cover that
