How much FAAB for Charles' Replacement

[Sam]

12 team, non PPR league, $100 in season FAAB. My RB situation is terrible (L'Veon, Gore, Matt Jones, Andre Williams).

How much FAAB would you spend to try and get either Charcandrick West or Knile Davis? Is West a potential RB2 for the remainder of the year?

I wouldn't bid much because that role will be a disaster. Plus, they're expected to bring in a free agent such as Pierre Thomas.

So in the $20-$30 range? Do you like West better than Davis?

In my 14-team league with 20-man rosters, I'm throwing most of my FAAB at him. There is NOTHING else on the wire. I did this with CJ Anderson last year.

I have $84 left and put a bid of $40 in. May up it to 45 or 50 by the time I got to bed.

Well - I won! For better or for worse, I felt like I had to take the chance. I won at $46 and also won Knile Davis at $6, just in case.

Leaves me with $32 for the rest of the year which I should be able to make work but we'll see.

West went for 50 in a $100 faab budget PPR league.

I was going to say I've seen 50-60% being suggested on some sites. Hopefully one of the two guys will take the lead, it would suck to have a 50/50 split because then it gets difficult to know who to start. Good luck!!

I bid $59 (of $74 left). Someone else bid $69.

Wow that's nuts. If West does nada this week, the Chiefs will almost certainly sign a FA RB who has a lot more talent than an UDFA out of Abilene Christian. Big gamble, good luck all.

[Erik]

If there are better RBs out there, why haven't they signed by Week 6?
