Jrick35 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 He has never had as many as 1100 yds from scrimmmage in one season. He has only ever achieved double digit TD's once in a season. And yet every year he is touted as a Top 10 Rb and never makes it through the 2nd rd. And I just read how he was money this year before getting hurt. Personally I like it that someone always blows a very early rd pick on him leaving someone else for me. But I just don't know why he is so highly touted every year. Can anyone enlighten me?

Chief Dick Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 He plays in a good offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_the_swammi Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 He carried numerous teams to fantasy championships a two years ago, and when healthy, is almost a lock for double-digit points every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTed46 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 He carried numerous teams to fantasy championships a two years ago, and when healthy, is almost a lock for double-digit points every week. This He gets 10-12 carries, 60-80 some what yards and about 5 targets a game. He is a very servicable RB2 in a PPR. I hope he comes back and does this again.

Furd Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 He plays in a good offense. That, and: In 2008, he had 900 total yards and 12 TDs. In 2009, he had 1100 and 8. That's not setting the world on fire, but it ain't all that bad. I also seem to remember him as a third round pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearBroncos Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 He's extremely explosive and has an inate ability to square his shoulders. Now, if he could only get passed the injury bug. That twist of the knee that cause this whole thing only proves that is WAS worse than it looked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am surprised and thankful he is returning soon (at least I hope). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Next Generation Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 (edited) He produces in both the rush and pass game when given the opportunities like LT did in his prime. Problem is, Payton doesn't give him the opportunity. Not sure why Payton doesn't like him, but he's fought against PT from the beginning only playing him when he had no other options and then making him split carries with the likes of a washed-up D McAllister or a pedestrian A Stecker/M Bell. It may be the injury thing why Payton doesn't like PT, but it is surely something because the guy flat-out produces when he's the guy @ RB. Problem is, he'll never be THE GUY in N.O. unless there's an injury to someone else; it'll always be a time share.

Decent value for what he has produced historically, and no reason to think he wouldn't this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Muto Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 If he didn't get hurt he would have had some great games in the last 7 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby's Hubby Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 And, of course, Reggie Bush would be hurt at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avernus Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 If he didn't get hurt he would have had some great games in the last 7 weeks. expecting him to play more than 3 or 4 games as a starter is a bit much imo...until he proves otherwise anyways...

Company of Heroes Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 If he doesn't play this week, I'm dropping him. I understand, and am thinking the same. He has one of the toughest RB schedules in the FF playoffs (WKs 14-16), and I'll need to see a good game from him before I start him, so the number of games he would be starteable is dwindling fast. Hate missing taking a flier on KWilliams (if he stays the starter and avoids the RBBC), Goodson (if they give him a shot), THightower (if Weanie stays hurt), or MTolbert (if Mathews continues to suck), who are all on the WW in one or more leagues, waiting for PT to showup healthy and have a good matchup.
