purplemonster Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Wondering what peoples' thoughts are on the rookie RB's. None of these guys are going very high Breece Hall-Jets Round 2. this guy I like the most because he is a 3 down back and I don't think Michael Carter is going to provide enough competition James Cook-Bills Round 2. Will have a pass catching role, but also has to deal with Devin Singletary and Josh Allen vulturing TD's Ken Walker III-Seahawks. Round 2. Rashaad Penny and Chris Carson (maybe) are the competition. And this offense is on the decline. Isaiah Spiller- LAC. Round 4. Ekeler is the #1, and not much else, mainly Josh Kelley. Will clearly be the #2 one would think. Great offense, enough to go around? Few bonus nonrookies: Travis Etienne Jr-Jaguars. Missed his first season with Lisfranc and will deal with James Robinson but will see significant high value touches regardless. CEH-Chiefs. Had an underwhelming first few years, hurt mostly by injuries. Has Ronald Jones II and Jerrick McKinnon as backups. Is there enough meat on the bone for this one in an Andy Reid RBBC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplemonster Posted June 25, 2022 Author Share Posted June 25, 2022 I put Etienne on there mainly because I am interested in where people think he should be drafted. I am having trouble putting a value on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
League_Champion Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I absolutely love Etienne with Lawrence. He's going way to late in early drafts. People seem to have forgotten about the pedigree. I'm all in on him this season. I think Hall is right about where he should be. He'll have his moments but probably not enough to make RB2 territory. Walker is a huge question mark. Everyone knows that it's only a matter of time before Penny gets hurt, but can Walker stay healthy?? Spiller needs an Ekeler injury to be relevant, very possible though. CEH is CEH, he'll have his moments as well but probably a flex. He's frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to catch a ton of balls in that offense. Depending on the board I'd have no problem overpaying for him. I think his current ADP is early fifth if I'm not mistaken.

1fastdoc Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 (edited) For this season I'll only be looking at RB rookies that fall below their ADP. Hall is the only rookie that I think had star potential, but he's on the Jets and their offensive line is going to be tested hard for the first half of the season. From the dynasty perspective, I'm sure Hall will be taken in the first round of the rookie draft and if things go as I expect, I'll look to trade peanuts for him mid way through the season.

purplemonster Posted June 28, 2022 Author Share Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) I should have included Rachaad White, a 3rd rounder from TB. Uncle Lenny may not have that much left in the tank, it isn't clear. And that's a good offense, OL and QB. One of these guys is going to blow up you have to think.

I like white, good ppr back had 43 rec last season (about 20% of their passing volume at Arizona state). He seems to be the forgotten back, as I've often seen z white pierce and spiller go in the same range. Personally I've often managed to get white between picks 18 and 22 in idp leagues, Edit - I've also seen him go as high as 11 Edited June 28, 2022 by millworkguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see him handling a lot of the backfield targets, even as a rookie. He's definitely the future and a steal in that 15-20 range. I'd have no problem overpaying for him though.

What I'm banking on, though, is the fact that Brady is likely in his last season and Fournette is probably not on a Brady-less team in '23. That team will be in a rebuild and Gio Bernard won't be there either as the "pass-catching back". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronald Jones (stonehands) is no threat, White has natural hands and is far more talented. He's definitely the future and a steal in that 15-20 range. I'd have no problem overpaying for him though. Jones is in KC, not TB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilthorp Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Cook is so tempting because the Bills are going to steamroll again this year. Full blown crap shoot there. Hall is the real deal and should be the best fantasy producer in 22'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine, or hope that Hall gets the bulk of the red zone work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docniner Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Hall definitely the top rookie rb. I do like Walker in Seattle because I don't think Penny can stay healthy. Carson is toast and will be a non- factor. Damian Pierce could take.the lead job if Marlon Mack struggles, which is possible. For some reason a.have a hunch on Las Vegas RB ZAMIR WHITE. Yet.he want.get the opportunities this year if Jacobs stays healthy but I'm looking to stash.him for next year as I feel he's gonna have the lead job to himself.
