Has been seeing lots of targets consistently. He is available in my league as we dont mandate a TE but have 2x WRT flexes. He's really the only RZ threat in that offense that is somehow producing.

Worth picking him up? 14 teams, .5ppr, 4BN spots.

Id be dropping Abdullah for him.

I've had him for 3-4 weeks and he's consistently putting up numbers. He's had at least 6 targets for the past 4 weeks, and 9+ 3 of those 4. I feel like he'll finish the season strong. It's not a very sexy name, but he's putting up points this year for sure.

im surprised he hasnt been picked up in a 14 team league at this point

if he's available you definitely grab him

Yeah he has the same amount of points as Jeremy maclin. He'd be a top 20 WR

Whatever you do DO NOT ADD

First off, yes absolutely pick him up. Second off, if you have Abdullah, yes absolutely drop him for Barnidge. Do this move ASAP.

Absolutely. He is perhaps mccowns favorite red zone target. He's averaging 15.75 points per week over the last 4 weeks in standard scoring leagues and that's not skewed by 1 or 2 huge weeks. 16, 13, 19, 15.

I picked him up a couple weeks ago when Graham was not producing, still kept him on the bench though. Looks like Graham is turning the corner and developing some chemistry with Wilson, so I'm going to attempt to make a trade with somebody for one of those TEs.

I've been trying to move Barnidge all afternoon. I have Olsen and don't need a second tight end. I set my sights high and have been knocked back a considerable amount.

I tried AP for Barnidge.
I tried Edelman for Barnidge.
I'm currently trying Barnidge and Cobb for Julio and a draft pick.

I picked him up last week, so I'm treating him like free money. I just want to trade him before the wheels fall off.

What if the wheels don't fall off though?


And AP for Barnidge?


I'd kick you in the face for trying that.

I know. Barnidge is outscoring AP on the year. I made the pitch that AP isn't the back that he once was, but knew it was likely going to be shot down.

If the wheels don't fall off, they don't fall off. I'm not playing two TEs and I can get more value out of Barnidge than Olsen. I think it's close for the remainder of the year between Olsen and Barnidge.

I'm going to try to package barnage and maybe mclin or something for a top rb to a team whose very weak at WR and heavy at rb. I think don't think he's worth what you were offering personally. Even though the numbers may "say so".

Isnt Maclin gimped?

But I'd consider trading away an RB for that combo. Im hurting for WR. You might be able to get a Gore type.

I think he's just going through the concussion protocol right now, but that's what I was thinking, a solid RB2.

I don't disagree, which is why I made the offer. Hoping someone would jump after looking at the numbers.

What level player should I be targeting?

Probably a lower WR2 or flex guy honestly, unless you're going to package him. See my idea above, I think that's a pretty fair offer. I'll post specifics if I end up going through with anything. Good luck

Go after a Miller or Forsett type guy if they're weak at TE.

Barnidge for AP is pretty much telling your potential trade partner that you believe him to be an extremely stupid person.

Barnidge is doing great in a small sample size. He's also 30 and has been in the NFL for seven years.

Selling high doesn't mean that you get to demand whatever shite fancies you.
