If he's the 45th best running back, he is someone's 4th running back on average. I carry 6 to 8 running backs on my teams. I have room for him on my bench.

loaf Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 (edited) I dropped him two weeks ago for Smallwood...haven't started him either. full PPR with Sony Michel, James White, Chris Thompson, Alvin Kamara, Breida...he was never going to crack the starting lineup with the other points I had on my bench. and we can only start 2 RB tops EDIT: I just looked. I actually drafted him in the 5th to be my RB2 but... Edited October 19, 2018 by loaf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowboysDiehard Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I drafted him kinda early to be my RB2. After week 1, he's been on my bench until last night. Glad he at least scored before getting injured. Hope he gets better soon, but the injury means there is one less weekly decision to worry about in that lineup. Thanks to Lindsay, Freeman never really broke out like I thought he might. Ito Smith....come on down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpkrufus Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I think he’s droppable as well. He got hurt and liable to miss some time. In that case Lindsay is going to explode. If you don’t have rb depth or anyone worthy on waivers than sure waste a bench spot on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a nice speculative pick. But he didn't come close to justifying a 3rd round pick. He should have been drafted in rounds 5-8 when the surer commodities were gone. But you didn't view him as a speculative pick. You viewed him as a sure thing. I think the reason people so readily drank up his Kool-Aid was because of the success of last year's rookie running backs. Last year was an aberration. This year is the norm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year is the norm. in hindsight my team would be beastly if i had theilen whom i loved...but felt that minny would be more balanced of an offense and cousins would lean diggs a bit more.... anyways....when looking at 3-4 round rbs alot of them werent sure commodities to begin with.....there are alot of backs in those rounds who are busted out right now too...the sure commodities were gone and also...i may have lost a freeman but might have just gained a chubb!

Penny, RoJoDos, and Freeman looked like they had no real competition but all 3 have faltered. Chubb, Michel, and Kerryon looked liked they might be buried on the depth chart but all 3 are potentially looking elite now. Talent has knack for rising to the top regardless of circumstance. It is hard to predict who will fail and who will succeed so I try to draft a few rookie running backs that fall in the fantasy draft and then hope/pray/sacrifice a goat.

I was referring more to guys like lewis, drake, henry, ajayi....collins...lamar miller...prob a few others im forgetting...alot of guys in the 3-4 range have busted out...or been hurt...guess you could add mckinnon too.....thats what i was talking bout...none of those guys have justified a 3-4 round pick either Edited October 19, 2018 by forever in debt to mo lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
