Lol it wouldn't have matter I scored over 200 points. Freeman sucks ###.Looked fantastic to Milkman. He was probably playing against Freeman.

That's all you really need to know about Smith's talent. I generally trust the judgement of 32 NFL GMs. If he was 1/10th as good as his stat line, he would be on a roster.

What do we expect from Freeman today? 100 yards and a TD?

He wasn't outplayed in camp because he didnt even play in camp. Injured all preseason. DAL and HOU are not bad run D's.

1 data point doesn't make a tend. But 2 data points do......
Wonder what is bar is for good RB play?
He is on pace for back to pack 50+ point games, I can't remember a RB who has done that recently. I don't care the reason he is absolutely killing it right now.

I was being sincere. Two weeks in a row performing like this......the starting job is his for sure now.

He's bee the receiving back too, if Coleman wants that job will have to protect Ryan.

That's one role Coleman has no shot at if Freeman is playing. That first catch Freeman made was fantastic, he stole it from his own WR.

Was not taking a shot at you just stating if he scores half these points weekly he is still a top 10 RB and will be great to have on your team.

Yup. I don't know what some people are talking about but Freeman has looked phenomal the last two weeks. Getting to the edge, running through contact, and great out of the backfield.
This is a good balanced offense and I think he's a solid RB1 the rest of the season. Coleman is nowhere near as good in pass pro and will get some touches but only in a complementary role IMO.
Weird thought this was fantasy football where we get to count production of the player not how good they are in comparison to other players...

The jealousy in here is hilarious. Get over it, Coleman owners.
Milkman

Yes but isn't there value in identifying players that are actually skilled and not just benefitting from temporary circumstances before other owners?

Coleman will come back and get some if not half the touches. What is to identify? He is rocking it right now so I see no need to over think it.
Every week he puts up these numbers it solidifies a little bit more and last time I checked Julio and Hankerson are not going anywhere so it's not like they can stack the box against whoever is in the backfield.

Atlanta RB situation is valuable. Anyone who doesn't know that doesn't know Shanahan. Talent level is irrelevant. Rueben Droughns succeeded in this offense, as did Mike Anderson. I understand why people want to know who the guy will be but your best case is to just hold on to the top two, keep an eye on the 3rd guy and hold on to your butts.

And watch out for free agents that were sweeping floors last week that will start next week. Well, that was his father at least.

I'm not saying it's not a worthwhile conversation. It is. I don't think Shanahan is playing games to this point. Wasn't sure who his guy was at the beginning. Only had Coleman healthy starting out. Clearly they liked Freeman as the 3rd down guy, now he's the only one healthy. He has played better to this point and until he gives Shanahan a reason, he will continue as the lead dog. FWIW, I loved Coleman coming out of this draft class but when a guy is hot, he's hot. Freeman is the guy for now.
ETA: Forgot my main point: Quinten Griffin had a huge couple weeks in this style offense and people went absolutely nuts for him. I wouldn't sell Freeman nor would I buy him at otherworldly prices. If your team is winning he's a hold because he could do this the rest of the year.
