irish Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 (edited) Just curious as to where the rest of you rank Felix. Honestly, I'm not really sure myself as he surely has talent but he's always dinged up. However, is he really out of the top 40-50 backs? I mean would you rather have Felix or Alfonso Smith, Donald Brown, Kevin Faulk, LT, Jacobs, etc? Or is his drop strictly because of Murray and Tanner (obviously more so Murray)?

ttwarrior4 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 not with murray there, i see felix as the 3rd down back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 not with murray there, i see felix as the 3rd down back I can certainly see that but does he really fall out of the top 50 and below the players I've mentioned. I mean hell, I can make the argument that having a guy like Murray taking carries from him may actually keep him healthy and more productive with the touches he gets. Sort of like when Barber was there and in his prime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BA Baracus Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Felix will get a ton of yards in the 2nd quarter when DeMarco gets tired and has to go sit down and eat a basket of cheese fries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikesVikes Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 It sucks to get injured sometimes. I'd think that he would get in for a few series each week just like he and Barber used to split. Maybe on a smaller scale than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BA Baracus Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 In all seriousness, I see Felix's return resulting in a 60/40 RBBC with Murray as the majority stakeholder. As an owner of Felix in one league and Murray in another, I am guessing that this screws up the value of both of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was one guiy they are a RB2, with a split they are marginal RB3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTed46 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 F Jones and Murray will both have value when both healthy. Murray will get most of the carriest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detlef Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 To be honest, I think the Rest of Season Rankings are the least useful tool at the Huddle. And much of this has to do with the fact that they're not customized to each league. Which is completely fair enough, because it would be a massive pain in the ass to make that work. Scoring expectations for every player would have to be updated in order for it to do so. None the less, that aside, there's still a lot of head scratchers to be found there.

Bronco Billy Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 (edited) So should I or should I not veto a trade of Felix Jones for CJ56M? Edited November 3, 2011 by Bronco Billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNOWBOUND33 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 So should I or should I not veto a trade of Felix Jones for CJ56M? No. Both suck this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawks21 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 (edited) 50 sounds about right. He's certainly not in the top 30. After that you're kind of splitting hairs for the next 30. He's in that group somewhere. Edited November 3, 2011 by Seahawks21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNOWBOUND33 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I drafted Felix thinking he had the full load this year. He basically sucked. I dropped him instantly and picked up Murray. Murray has been spectacular for the most part. It is pissing me off reading that Felix will split carries when he comes back. I hope he never comes back.

I wouldn't have dropped F Jones and it doesn't surprise me he's coming back and will get carries. I DO think Murray will get the bulk of 1st and 2nd down carries as well as goal line. F Jones comes when they are down or need yardage by air. I have both in one league and will roll out Murray until stats tell me otherwise. This is based on my usually wrong opinion.

MERLINS Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Felix will come back and share the carries, and Murray will get hurt and we will be having this same discussion all over again. C'mon man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outshined Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I will never have him on my team after last year when he was supposed to break out. He has been in the league 4 years and only scored 8 rushing TD's (9 total). His yardage totals are not that great and average yards per rush have dropped every year.
