19 carries is encouraging, and he was in on the GL / RZ packages.
Not efficient, but we're just hoping the touches continue. He will be a solid RB2 if that is the case.

I've only started him week 1 since I have a ton of depth at RB. But given that I'm probably about to lose the stud performances from Conner, this was nice to see.

Nice to see him have a great game but unfortunately it didn't help most of us. Hopefully this is the start of a trend

Gus Edwards got 10 carries.

If this is the start of a trend (and if the Ravens coaching has eyes it should be) then you’d be selling low.

If it's the start of a trend of 10 carries a week being siphoned off by Gus Edwards, then you'd be selling high.
Hot Sauce Guy

The reality yesterday seems to be that Edwards siphoned off touches from Buck Allen.
Collins remains a guy you're pretty happy with in your RB2 slot if he's getting 15-20 touches, but not so much if it's ~10 touches. We've seen both.
If you think the situation got any clearer this week, I'd have to respectfully disagree.

I think it got clearer for sure. Collins got the GL & converted. Not Buck, Collins. Collins also scored from 13 yards out, so RZ carries.
progress.

It got clearer in terms of defined rolls. Collins on 1st and 2nd downs and in the RZ/GL.
Buck as the 3rd down/CoP back.
Hopefully that stays defined barring another fumble.

Allen getting punished for last weeks fumble perhaps?

Collins with a GL fumble the week before and he gets vote of confidence from coach and the GL carry here. He's not always gonna lose GL work, but buck will buck enough to annoy us AC owners. But we knew all this when we drafted him.

I drafted him in hopes of the team riding him like a donkey, because, you know, he's a more talented RB. Can't argue with Harbs though, because he's a good coach. He has his reasons for playing Allen; and to your point, it's not unexpected.
I'm seeing what I can get for Collins coming off a 2 TD outing, maybe the most points he'll score in a game all year.

I wonder if the Ravens have figured out throwing the ball more that 40 times is where they tend to lose games
And I predict that they will proceed to do just that. NO's D strength is against the run, porous against the pass.

Ironically, it’s been his TD prowess that’s saved his value to date. But their roles are clear (between Collins/Allen). Game script is critical.
Next game against NO is a bear, but then it looks fairly match-up friendly.

Yeah, Im not too crazy about this matchup. Would love to bench him in both my leagues but due to byes I currently have him slotted in at flex in both leagues. Im going to try and grab one of the hot ww players (Barber, Goodwin, maybe even Snead or Kearse) to play over him at flex this week.

Because everyone is just throwing on them. No real reason to run on NO honestly when you can light up thier secondary.

Yeah, that's why I was looking at YPC rather than raw rushing numbers. There are 23.2 rushing att/game against the Saints (median is 25, so not far off). However, the 3.1 ypc is by far the best in the league. 2nd place is 3.5 ypc and the median is 4.2 ypc.

Often times teams who are horrible against 1 aspect have strong stats the other way, teams game planning end up having a lot to do with this (number of attempts doing that thing for example).
shadyridr
Footballguy
Yeah I think the NO rush D is legit. Don't think there's some statistical nonsense going on here.
Right now considering benching Collins for...gulp...M. Mack.

With bye weeks and depth depleted by hold out (bell) and injuries, I'm starting him

Nothing to be ashamed about. Hes been a solid flex type all year.With bye weeks and depth depleted by hold out (bell) and injuries, I'm starting him

Except he's not a flex player for me. He's a biscuit behind my #1 RB which is Hyde. I'm the luckiest 4-2 team in my league.

For my RB2 I have a choice of Coleman, Breida, Collins, and Jones. I am going with Coleman but would probably play Breida over Collins because of the matchup.
So all of you folks should be starting Collins with confidence...

Eh, that may be me. Fournette and Fitz has been a strong pairing so far this season, but at least Adams is barely enough to win the gimmies.Except he's not a flex player for me. He's a biscuit behind my #1 RB which is Hyde. I'm the luckiest 4-2 team in my league.
Switch Coleman for Forunette and that's my RB chorps. Oh well, at least it's trending upwards finally.
Encouraging to see Collins get some red zone carries. Even more encouraging to see him convert. Bad matchup this week but hopefully things are starting to look better soon.
