Nah, I only post about RBs that played at Miami Central High.You only make posts FSU RB's?
We also know that Devonta can't fully back up what he says about the offense being unstoppable. And, Devonta was a big reason for the collapse starting with his missed blocking assignment which lead to the Ryan fumble.BusterTBronco said:Now we know. Dont'a > Devonta
Devonta Freeman told ESPN's Josina Anderson that he wants "elite" running back money on a contract extension.
"I want to be the best," Freeman said. "I want to be elite paid. Whatever that is, that's where I want to be -- straight up." It's unclear what even elite running back money is these days, but Le'Veon Bell is currently the highest-paid at over $12 million on the franchise tag. But LeSean McCoy and Doug Martin are Nos. 2 and 3 at $8.01 million and $7.15 million, respectively. That's likely the area Freeman wants to get to, though the $6.5 million Lamar Miller got might make more sense. Freeman is hoping to land an extension sometime this summer.

Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff said he is "confident" the organization will work out a long-term extension with walk-year RB Devonta Freeman.
"Like I've said before, we want him here and he's a very important part of our organization," Dimitroff said on SiriusXM's Schein on Sports. "We're ready in the relatively near future to have some discussions with their representation." Freeman recently told ESPN's Josina Anderson he wants "elite" running back money, but that apparently has not discouraged the general manager. Dimitroff previously identified training camp as the likely timeframe for a deal to be struck.

Wow nothing since May until now. That's just weird. LolConsidering this is the first post in this thread since may I'd say so
Yeah he's been pretty quiet this year- only on pace for 20 TDsWow nothing since May until now. That's just weird. Lol
It would be good if he could pick up the pace a bit more.Yeah he's been pretty quiet this year- only on pace for 20 TDs

I'd just like to commend you both for the perfectly timed bump to jinx him.Yeah he's been pretty quiet this year- only on pace for 20 TDs
*bows*I'd just like to commend you both for the perfectly timed bump to jinx him.
Dark and Matt Ryan are to blame, not me. GL jet sweeps to Taylor Gabriel? Freeman open in the flats and over the middle play after play, only gets 3 targets really late in the game.shadyridr said:I'd just like to commend you both for the perfectly timed bump to jinx him.
I'm stuck with him. I traded Gurley for Antonio straight up largely based on Freeman also being a legit #1. This may come back to haunt me. Although my WR core at the time was decimated.traded for him 4 weeks ago, salivating at the saints twice in fantasy playoffs...
at this point is there anything to suggest he will bounce back soon? Am i msising something?, tempted to sell while I can with his name perhaps still inflating his actually trade value for the time being still
What's even worse is his inability to seize momentum. Case in point - Falcons up 10-0 and they take over from their own 3.This is such a dumb situation. I own Freeman, but it's very clear that Sarkisian makes no attempt to get Coleman involved in the game plan, either. 38 throws and 16 RB carries in a game that was never out of hand, and in fact, a game that the Falcons led at one point 10-0 and for nearly the entire first half.
Thankfully the Falcons' 4-4 record and growing level of desperation can be a lever to force some changes, but all hoping at this point.
That explains his sub-par performance to this point in the season, sure. But his coaching staff will have to see the error of their ways and do something about it for him to be RB3 ROS. If they use him more, it's certainly possible, but nothing I've seen from this coaching staff makes me think they will see this and make the necessary adjustments.his lack of usage

Oh, lol, then I agreeRB3 AKA not a top 24 RB. Not 3rd overall RB
There has become some much reluctance, league-wide to feeding a RB who is hot. Saw the same thing in Oak-Miami last night. Lynch was rolling in the 3rd quarter yet they kept getting cute when they needed to salt the game away.What's even worse is his inability to seize momentum.

1st and 5 at CAR 39 - and so the Falcons have efficiently moved the ball 58 yards. Freeman has been terrific on the drive.

If you watched the game, you could tell that Freeman was 'feeling' it. His first down run to get 2 yards at the outset of the drive was classic shiftiness to squirm his way for the yardage - a Freeman special. And then what does Sark do on 1st & 5...a cute end around. And then Coleman, more of a banger one cut RB with 2 carries for a yard before the 4th down call where they telegraph bringing Freeman in.
While your observations of/comparison to Lynch’s use is spot on, is it really a sign of league-wide reluctance or simply a pair of coaches who have their collective heads up their rears in terms of managing their best RB’s talents.There has become some much reluctance, league-wide to feeding a RB who is hot.

Even good teams aren't doing this very well IMO. Part of that is personnel, teams like GB and NE view the RB/OL positions as fairly interchangeable and lean on their future HOF QBs. That makes sense. But a lot of teams just can't effectively manage a lead. They get too cute and it costs them. Baltimore ran at least 5 play action/2 yard passes to their TEs yesterday in a close game. KC did way better on this earlier in the season...not so much the last few weeks.While your observations of/comparison to Lynch’s use is spot on, is it really a sign of league-wide reluctance or simply a pair of coaches who have their collective heads up their rears in terms of managing their best RB’s talents.
NYG a perfect example. Clear that Darkwa is the best RB on that team, almost by default.Even good teams aren't doing this very well IMO.

DAL and PIT are really the out teams that can win either way yet purposefully grind it out.
Mostly, but had Ryan/Julio connected on either wide-open shots (they were the same route from Julio) we'd be signing a slightly different tune.Definitely been frustrating. I mean its obvious its Sark bringing the whole O down, right?
Just curious, whats his trade value right now?
Have any of you traded for/away? And for whom.
Half his fantasy points.What am I missing here? First time Freeman owner but what i can tell his 2017 is almost right on track with his 2016 divided by 2.
Not his catches or receiving yards and 4 sub par games in a rowWhat am I missing here? First time Freeman owner but what i can tell his 2017 is almost right on track with his 2016 divided by 2.
In my 0.5 ppr league thats appx 3.5 points per game lower than last year. pretty significant. Thats like the difference between an RB1 & RB2.2016/2017
Rush 1079/512
Carries 227/114
Td 11/5
Yds attempt 4.8/4.5
Receiving
Yards 462/137
Receptions 54/19
Td 2/0
Looks like he needs more receptions. Other than that on track for last year.
