2014 vs. 2016 Perine is night and day. I hope Washington tells him to lose 10 lbs like Pitt did with Bell. It will do him a world of good to be 225 instead of pushing 240.

In my 5 FFPC rookie drafts this weekend, Perine went at 8, 13, 13, 13, 14. Bold are the two times I got him.

Went 1.10 in my draft. I picked 1.11 and have Kelley. Took Ross there, so I'm not all that upset. I see the guy as insurance more than I see him as a threat to Kelley. 4th rounder and lip service about challenging for the job is no guarantee of said job.

Wonder if this guy sneaks into the 1.7 range?This is my pick and I am honestly worried about him not even being there if these beat writers don't lay off the hype.

love Perine. I think he can be a steal in the 4th for the skins.
Sadly, did not end up with him in either draft. Both times Mike Williams fell to me (at 1.10 and 1.11) so I couldn't pass for Perine. Most of the owners are in both leagues. Same owner took him in both.
Both are start 2 qb, 2 rb, 4 wr, 2 te, ppr
He went 2.03 in one of my drafts.
Draft in order - McCaffrey, Fournette, Mixon, Cook, Davis, Howard, Watson, Trubinsky, Mahomes, M Williams, Hunt, Ross, Njoku, Engram, Perine
I had 3, 4, 10 so I passed on him for Williams hoping he'd fall to 2.05. But since I have Zeke, Mixon, Cook, Coleman I felt ok passing. 2.05 got Zay Jones.
He went 2.02 in the other.
Draft in order - Fournette, McCaffrey, Mixon, Davis, Howard, Watson, Cook, Trubinsky, Mahomes, Kizer, M Williams, Njoku, Engram, Perine.
1.11 took Mike Williams again, but own David Johnson, Miller, Crowell, Rob Kelley.
Now considering trading Crowell for Perine....

Got a feeling he'll be pushin' fat rob to the sidelines sooner than later. Don't let him get by ya. If you draft Kelley hope your roster size is big enuff to add this kid or you might be using a few expletives,lol.

I had the same dilemma at 1.10 a couple weeks back. Also went Perine, but there is a lot to like with Hunt, too, imo.

The thread name is official-samaje-perine-ou-stud-rb-dynasty and nearly all talk around here this time of year is rookie/dynasty based so yes, this references rookie drafts.

No worries. You should try playing dynasty. It's a whole different world and tons of fun.

Seems like a pretty good guy in that interview. I like how he talks about the importance of pass protection and working on receiving skills.
The Man With No Name

Got him at pick 16. Liked what I saw of him in college, but NFL is a different animal. looks like he will get a chance to get plenty of touches. Running backs are a crapshoot. Guys come out of nowhere and higher draft picks flounder. Since they are the most valuable position in fantasy, I have learned to draft as many rookie backs as possible which gives a better chance of finding a starter and a fantasy asset. The young ones with potential make good trade value too.
Also have Kelley and Marshall

He went 16 in our draft also. I had him as a tossup with Hunt and when Hunt dropped to 13 I went that way given that Reid traded up to get him. Kamara and Zay Jones went between. The big 3 TEs, Smith-Schuster and Watson went before Hunt.
Watson going at 10 surprised me, but everything else was pretty much as expected more or less.

12 team, PPR. Non-Idp.
I had the 1.07 and was sure Samaje would fall to me. 1.06 went on the clock and traded the [1.06] away for [Ameer Abdullah + Laquon Treadwell + 2017 4.03]. New owner of the 1.06 took Samaje.
Bottom line, Samaje went at the 1.06 or would have gone at the 1.07 and someone valued him more than Abdullah + Treadwell + Flyer.

Big 6? This is new. I've been looking at this draft as having a big 5, then pick 6 and on has been less predictable.
It's Davis and the four RBs, then things get interesting, with Perine making the late summer push to claim the #6 spot.

If that's true, Williams stock has taken a significant hit, as apparently has Howard's.
Still thinking that's too high for Perine, who doesn't figure to get a meaningful part of the passing game.

Technically he is as far as rankings are concerned and he probably has been taken at 6 in a majority of drafts. However, starting in the weeks after the NFL draft I have seen other players chosen at the 6 spot about half the time (or so it seems). Besides Perine, I have also seen JuJu, Howard and Ross taken at that spot.

Williams went 8 and 7 in my two June drafts. His stock is falling given he hasn't been on the field.
Winning IS Everything

I am hoping to land him at 1.9. But with our draft happening in mid august, I think I need to prepare to move up 2 to 3 spots if I really like him.
(USA Today Fantasy Sports) Washington Redskins rookie RB Samaje Perine already has a good feel for the game, good feet, good vision and good strength, according to running backs coach Randy Jordan. Perine has also impressed with his catching ability. Jordan said Perine catches the football "so much better" than he thought he could.

Sucks when an unspecial running back gets selected behind another unspecial running back in an offensive system which hardly runs the ball.
You guys can have all the Samaje Perine you want.

Perine is an average RB prospect. He is big, very strong, has decent speed for his size, was productive in college. Kelley could have been the worst RB prospect of all time. 2nd percentile SPARQ athlete, 5th percentile college production and a 0th percentile 3.6 ypc at Tulane. His rookie year in the NFL was about as inefficient as you would expect from those numbers. By all accounts, Perine should win this job and perform better than Fat Rob did last year.
You are right that the Redskins were near the bottom of the league in rushes (so was Jacksonville, Chicago, LARams and Cleveland so maybe we should keep that in mind when using earlier draft picks on RBs) but the Redskins were top 12 in total points scored and Fat Rob got RZ looks. Fat Rob had 34 RZ carries for 5 TDs. 34 RZ carries was 16th in the NFL and it's even more impressive when you consider he only had 168 carries. 20% of his carries were in the RZ.
In redraft, he is going 9th round as RB35. Fat Rob only started half a season last year and fell into an RB26 finish. I do think there is room for value here.

TDs saved, as you offensively call him, Fat Rob. But you know as well as anybody that TDs have much volatility. Redskins made a lot of changes in the offense, so no gaurantee they make it to the red zone as much. Those possibly few carries likely go to..... well, nobody really knows. You make a leap of faith to assume that Perine will win this job. This situation has platoon written all over it. In the event Perine gets the job, per your admission, he's an average RB prospect.
