Definitely like London as a buy as well, made it a point to acquire him in one league (got him for Najee). Pickens as a still will be a hot take for a lot of people, but his efficiency metrics admittedly give me pause as well on putting him too high.
I’m not sure about that comment though regarding yards per route run being more related to QB then the WR. I don’t think that’s right. Pff has done all kinds of work about how sticky that stat is, and it feels like there’s tons of examples out their of WRs switching teams to sub par qbs and still producing like they were (Tyreek, davante, aj brown, diggs,). There’s also plenty of examples of players excelling in this stat despite poor QBs (Olave, London, Wilson sort of, terry mclaurin, etc).
Would love to get my hands on London. I’m in a rebuild and was offered: London, 1.12, and 2024 1st(which will likely be LATE, considering he’s the champ, and getting Bijan) for my 1.01(Bijan). Is that good enough package for Bijan?
If you’re in a rebuild that genuinely could be a package that is worth it, as long as it’s a 3wr league. I know the firsts are late, but London will have a longer shelf life than Bijan most likely, and the 24 1st isn’t likely to be worse than the 1.09, by odds. You’ll definitely get a solid player at 1.12 this year too, could easily be a good RB or even the best QB/TE of the bunch. It probably doesn’t feel like a total smash, but if you are lacking top end assets as is (especially at WR), it might make more sense to reduce long term risk and even possibly maximize your draft capital a bit for next year. I’m in a rebuild as well with the 1.01, 1.06, 1.08, and 1.12, and am debating if I’m ready to gear up for competing or not.
