Papa Deuce Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I know it has been a strange year for everybody with RBs, but I wanted to show how crazy it actually is in our league,, with our scoring system. * 1. Murray 76 points - and better than I had hoped, and I had high hopes. 2. Antone Smith 51 points - #2 in the league with so few carries! 3. Justin Forsett 50 points - He's happy about the whole Ray Rice thing. ( I kid ) 4. Forte - 50 points - this is pretty normal 5. Arian Foster 49 points - not bad for a guy who contemplated retirement with a bad back 6. M. Lynch 46 points - close to "normal" I would say 7. Pierre Thomas 46 points - really? Top 10? So say the stat gods. 8. Ahmad Bradshaw 45 points - makes top 10 even with a RBBC 9. LaVeon Bell 43 Points 10. Matt Asiatta - 39 points - from a guy that many of us might not know if Peterson was playing. Crazy..... just crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL Fan Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I'd like to see the "other side" of this list. I'm thinking of looking at rb's in draft order in my league and doing a "where are they now?" Because the first 8 or so backs drafted have an alarming number of busts and under-acheivers. Cool list! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShuckCreations Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I would re-post AFTER the game tonight so Lynch and Morris have an equivalent number of games to the others posted. Otherwise the data presented is skewed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyBromo Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I wasn't thrilled with the 11th pick in my draft, but Murray fell to me and I couldn't be happier about it now. Crazy how RB's can just fall off a cliff or shoot up in value for any reason and that list is a great example 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise the data presented is skewed. Maybe, but the point is still valid, even if slightly skewed. The point was that there are so many RB's in the top 10 that you would never expect to be there.

Crazy how RB's can just fall off a cliff or shoot up in value for any reason and that list is a great example Murray had 30 carries. ..36 touches in total.

rajncajn Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 What's the real pisser is that at least three of those guys are waiver pickups, which means the schmuck who doesn't know squat about fantasy football had first dibs at a top ten back. Or worse yet, those who already had a decent team, but started off slow are now rolling. I really hate this game sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there has to be a point at which you know enough - and knowing more than that doesn't help much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Deuce Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) This list makes more sense than the OP's list. It isn't a matter of "sense"; it is a statement of fact - In my league, with the scoring we use. We don't use standard scoring. We are very much a TD based league.

Big John Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I don't know how blind bidding works For redraft leagues, at the beginning of the season, each team is given a budget of blind-bidding dollars (say 1000). Then for each waiver period, blind bids are made for players and the high bid wins that player and has the bid amount deducted from your balance, but be careful on how much you bid to ensure you have enough bidding dollars to last throughout the season.

Papa Deuce Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 Why is it relevant to the rest of us for ranking the top 10 running backs? It's misleading. I never said it was. But the topic is clearly understandable by most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rajncajn Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) This is why blind bidding is the only way to go FOUR players in my queue this week & I got frigging squat because I'm one game better than the four other owners that bid on them in the standings.

stevegrab Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 FOUR players in my queue this week & I got frigging squat because I'm one game better than the four other owners that bid on them in the standings. I finally dropped (3-3, 0-2 in division and low points) to top half (4 of 12) in waiver order this week and got my first choice, yeah Brandon Bolden come on down and join my team (yes my RB are really that bad). I'd rather be 4-2 and not have him, but I understand your point (because I've been in the bottom 3-4 on waivers since week 1 and missed out on every RB with value).
