Yeah, I really thought Fox could be an issue with Cohen, but to be fair, he's not the OC. He also didn't seem to have too much influence on the offense in Denver when Peyton was throwing TDs left & right.
the hill comparison is for big play ability. I agree you can't trust fox to make sure he gets the ball like Reid is probably gonna do with hill but that shouldn't make a difference that when cohen catches a screen pass or dump off pass he has a lot better chance of breaking off a long run then Howard would.
As a DJ owner, the options are slim. Had to bump up CJ to RB1 (barf), and my RB2 options are Cohen, Duke, Mack, AP, Buck Allen (.5 PPR)
I agree that HC Fox should not be that much of a concern given what we've seen. I just pulled this up from the Chicago Bears website:
Loggains replaced Wunderkind Adam Gase, and produced better fantasy numbers with Barkley/Hoyer starting 11 games (300 more passing, 75 fewer rushing). The OC approach may or may not be good for wins, but the approach did produce for fantasy. I especially like the high ranking in explosive plays, which bodes well for a player who excels at explosive plays. The Bears cut Jeremy Langford, which is another very strong vote of confidence. Utilization in week 1 was very high with 12 targets and 5 rushes, suggesting a willingness to put him on the field (whether through faith in talent or desperation for healthy skill position players). Injuries have again thinned the skill position offensive players in Chicago, meaning there's going to be opportunities for someone to touch the ball.
I'd love for his stock to go higher. There's obviously a large group of people who don't buy his performance as a weekly thing. If he produces another 20 point game in PPR I think his stock sores and this thread goes to 20 pages by this time next week with people calling him a RB1.
You should feel lucky. He went for 72, 77, and 83% in my money PPR leagues. And there were multiple bids listed above 60% in all three that lost out. I am not bummed I have a bunch of FA money left, I just don't see regret missing out here but I could be wrong.
Bid 62 in my league to get him. Next highest was 19 or 29 or something. Feel like a fool but in some leagues, as you show, I would have missed out. Never know
just going by the eye. Maybe sproles plays bigger now. Can't imagine he was 190 in San Diego
I would imagine Sproles has gained some weight into his 30's and this kid is fresh out of college and will probably add some muscle and weight over the next few years.
Murray is a big part of that offense and looked like a beast last year. I just look at him and McCoy and see two oldish RBs who are due for their time to decline. Everyone has an opinion. But I can see trading a RB2/3 possible WW material if all the naysayers are correct at end of season for a perceived top 10 RB. I don't know if I would trade Murray for Cohen, but I also wouldn't have accepted that trade either. So I feel for your predicament.
You'd turn down a clear 2nd round pick after 1 game for a waiver wire wonder? If the draft were held today, would you really draft Cohen over Murray if they were both there for you in, say, round 5?
I said if I had Murray I would not trade him for Cohen. But I probably wouldn't have accepted that trade either. I do not like Murray. He is on my do not draft list. Why would I trade for someone who is on my do not draft list?
I'm confused. You suggested a guy pass when offered Murray for Cohen. So you value Cohen over Murray rest of season right now.
You asked if I would draft Cohen over Murray right now. The answer is no.
This makes no sense. I asked if you'd take Cohen over Murray if they were both their in the 5th round. Ok how about this, hypothetically speaking, it's the last pick of round 16 and both are still on the board. You could use a rb. Who are you taking? Jeez.
I do not like green eggs and ham. I do not like them Sam I Am
If you can get 85-90 receptions(in a ppr league),plus his possible rushing yards(500-700 yards) and 7-9 TD's .That can be a difference maker.zftcg said:
