Concept Coop

I’d take Barkley over Zeke as well, in part due to the receiving production I expect him to get. So I agree with FF’s take. But I also think Zeke is likely to get a bump in that area as well, and is a very talented receiver himself (much, much more than adequate). The Cowboys offense just doesn’t highlight it. It’s not as though they’ve have a COP back they targeted instead, they just haven’t targeted their backs much.All these devils advocate things are confusing me.
He's adequate at that I'd say. No numbers or anything to back it up though. Depth chart says they list Tavon Austin as a RB which I thought was odd. He could be a great pass catching RB2 to Zeke if they use him that way. Unlike Bell, DJ and Barkley, who are extraordinary at pass catching. I do expect them to run Zeke into the ground but I take Barkley > Zeke in a startup. ETA: In PPR
Zeke is in the Gurley mold as a receiver, while Barkley is in the Kamara/Bell mold. I’m not saying Zeke is on Barkley’s level, but he’s really good out of the backfield.
