John Collins was just dropped in my 12-team, 12-man (9 active, 3 bench, 1 IL) H2H league; 9-cat plus OREB.
1. After 2 weeks, I am at 6th place, should I pick him up and stash? I would be dropping Schroder.
2. If so, how much should I bid? 100 FA budget
Thanks,
Chris
That’s tough bc holding these suspended guys is a risk/reward play, having a dead roster spot. The pressure intensifies when one or more of your guys start to come down with the inevitable injuries.
If you think your team can float around the middle or bottom middle of the pack and stay in playoff contention, you have to grab him.
Scooping up a free 2nd rounder for the last 50+ games of the season can be a league-winning move.
You just have to ask yourself what your level of risk tolerance is.
Considering you may be forced to cut him later if your injuries stack up, you probably don’t want to go too heavy on FAAB.
If it was me, I think I’d go around $30-35. I dropped $60 to get Marvin Bagley the day he went down and someone cut him. Maybe I spent too much, but at least I can slap him in IR.
Also factor in how much other players are spending for dudes.
