Dynasty TE -- Reed, is he worth it?
The bloom is seriously coming off the rose so to speak. But someone in my league recently dropped Reed. There are some nuances in our league that I won't bore you with, but the basic facts are:
It's a half point per reception format. I currently have ASJ, who I'd be dropping for Reed. But it's also a FAAB auction process, so my I'm thinking of throwing out a bid of $18 (that's a notable bid in our league (say, roughly 50/50 chance of winning for any player of note), but by no means a big bid or anything that will impact my budget moving forward).
I will be spot starting ASJ or Reed this year, but I'm more intrigued by Reed's potential trade value down the road in a dynasty setting (I have O.J. Howard stashed for long-term deployment in a year or two).
Worth trying this out? Worth making a more,aggressive bid? Still worth doing but, given Reed's injury history, only if I get a steal so I might consider backing off on the bid amount a tad?
Appreciate any feedback.
