Howard Rest of the Way

Traded for him yesterday. The trade was Carr/Gore/Moncrief for Wentz/Howard/Shepard
Effectively for me it was an attempt at upgrading at RB from Gore to Howard. Gore has been solid but liked Howard's upside.
Didn't like giving up Moncrief, but he really wanted him and Shepard in return was acceptable.
Probably drop Wentz for a TE with Reed probably out.
New lineup .5ppr
QB: Brees
WR: OBJ
WR: TY
RB: Shady
RB: Howard
TE: Reed
Flex: Blount
Bench: Enunwa, Meredith, Hogan, T. Williams, Wentz, Shepard
Have lost on the year Keenan Allen, Moncrief, Vereen, Josh Gordon.
Also traded Tevin Coleman for TY Hilton 3 weeks ago. Needed a WR after losing both Allen and Moncrief.

I think he's a locked and loaded RB1 until Langford comes back. Once Langford is back I think he's still a legit RB2 with RB1 upside.

Looking at this trade and your team, I think this was just a fancy way of trading Carr/Gore/Moncrief for Howard. Sharpe is droppable and is at best your 5th WR right now. Wentz is essentially useless for you since you have Brees.
That being said, Carr was mostly useless for you as well, Howard is a big upgrade from Gore, and you have two good WRs already to start, so it wasn't a bad trade.

This was a great trade even if done today. Very surprised you were able to do this 3 weeks ago, so congrats on that one.

Howard has been playing at such an effective level since taking over. Fox was very publicly frustrated with Langford and his overall production going back to even last year.
At this point it is Howard's Job. Unless he starts missing holes, fumbling, and doing dumb things I expect them to feed him at least 20 times a game.
I love his draft profile and the way he is running and producing against NFL competition. Him and Hoyer are feeding off each other and the Chicago offense is somewhat thriving. The fact that Hoyer is playing so well IMO makes him more valuable than some of the 1st to 2nd round RB's that were taken in the draft.
I do not think he is matchup proof but I plan on playing him almost every single week.
