What’d you guys think Mendenhall’s value is next year?
Is he worth the #1 rookie draft pick this coming year?
Format for this league is 1 RB, and 1 RB/WR flex, I would have AP to fill the first RB spot.
well Mendenhall’s value depends a lot of what the Steelers do in the offseason. Willie Parker is up for a new contract and I’d be surprised if they franchised him. So he’ll have to take a pay cut to remain a Steeler, but if he comes back that will cut into Mendenhall’s value.
The Steelers also have a lot of work to do on their offensive line. They just fired their offensive line coach, Larry Zierlein, so that’s a start but there’s still a need to improve the personnel there.
As it stands right now I would guess Parker won’t return and the line will be better next season, which would boost Mendenhall’s value. Still, there is a lot yet to happen so this is a situation you’ll need to monitor if you can.
