He went in the third round late in our draft, actually. I thought it was crazy but took Josh Jacobs instead when I had the third. CJA and the playoffs last year really said something about Gurley and his problems.

The fall has been sudden, I think is the issue. Just two years ago, he was indeed winning championships with huge, huge games. Then...precipitous fall.

Right, the way last year ended after the going strong for most of it was a shock.
The way this season has started, knowing how last season went - is not a shock.
In the FFI experts poll done in June, he was ranked as the #8 rb. In my 16 team league with a late August draft, he went 13th in the first round, the 9th RB. I'm guessing he's a RB1 in many 12 team leagues.

I bought the Fantasy Football Index magazine in June. The poll included experts from PFF, ESPN, and Rotoworld, so it's legit. I saved Gurley's ADP in late August for 12-team leagues; it was the 10th RB. A high risk high reward pick, based on past performance and faith McVay's system. Even at 80% of 2018, Gurley was a reasonable choice.
I picked 6th overall and drafted what was the safest pick after the big 4, Conner. I still have some hope.

FFI is pretty famous for their predraft mag. It's really not a sharp's tool, though.

Is something wrong with that? Maybe I care a very insignificant amount, but I am willing to care a bit less.

Is this the Darrell Henderson thread or the Todd Gurley Conspiracy thread?

A paper magazine might be old-school, but I like their organization of information. Off-season moves by team, rookie report, 1 page schedule by week, another by team, experts poll, player stats by week to see for example that Jared Cook had 4 great weeks and a bunch of bad weeks, oline discussion, defense overview, etc. The analysis by Ian Allan is good. When combined with the latest ADP and FBGs, its an efficient approach to draft day.
The June FFI analysis on Henderson was positive based on his elusiveness. Ian ranked him higher than Brown.

It's the
I picked up Malcolm Brown and have him plugged in at flex now I'm wondering if anybody else has dropped Darrell Williams for Darrell Henderson
thread.

Fantasy Football Index was the magazine I bought yearly during the 90's. A lot of magazines had low quality information. I always thought Fantasy Football Index did a good job. They had the previous 3 years of stats in each player's profile which was majorly important. Most magazines only gave the previous year's stats.

ok yeah so back to Henderson..is he going to become a viable fantasy option going forward?

I did exactly this. Dropped Demarcus Robinson for Chase Edmunds and then dropped Darrel Williams for Darrel Henderson.
And I’m bullish on DWill2. I just think Henderson is a better talent than Brown.

I’m holding Henderson out of all but one lineup today (where I’ll probably lose anyway). Hated seeing that John Kelly move late in the week. Screams that they don’t have confidence in Henderson. What an awful start to his career if he does nothing today. Guy looked like a big winner and good to great talent exiting the draft.

Couldn't they have just activated Kelly because they needed a 3rd RB with Gurley out? I'm not up to date on their current depth chart aside from Gurley, Brown and Henderson so I might be wrong.

Seemed like a normal move, it's just that everybody is so up in the air about Henderson that the call-up of a former back on the depth chart is threatening.

I read that move to be there are some long term concerns for Gurley and this is a multiple week injury.

Maybe Kelly plays special teams but it’s not like Henderson has been. I see it as another reason to be overly cautious with a guy who has basically been yielding zero snaps. CJ Anderson came in and played over Kelly last year off the streets.

He's just a hard tackle from being a feature back in the Rams offense, you gotta like it if you own him in redraft like a lottery ticket. This will be one of just a couple chances he might see.
8-50, 2-20 and a TD today as the Rams erupt on the Niners and re-establish order in the West. 41-21 today...

6 carries 39 yds...needs more touches. Brown pedestrian.

He looked great. Very powerful. Brown looked very pedestrian.
One of Hendersons carries came on the goal line, so his stats look slightly worse than they really were. He had one mistake otherwise I was very happy with what I saw

About the best you could hope for. He looked decent and Brown stumbled. The worst part is the Rams offense looks broken. The good part about that is they may be forced to feature him more. Goff is regressing terribly though, which is scary for everyone.
Don Hutson
Footballguy
It's not easy integrating a new offensive lineman midseason but the Rams should consider trading for an offensive lineman. Or two. Goff cannot function without good protection.

He looked like a beast in limited touches. Maybe he passes Brown on the depth chart later this season.

That pitch he fumbled was high and behind him it looked like, I'm not sure if he was supposed to stand there and wait or what, but it did look like a pretty bad pitch.

I caught the very tail end of it. I think Redzone cut to it very briefly.kittenmittens said:
I feel justified in his hype after an admittedly small sample size. Compared to Brown he looked like Gurley! At least as far as power and physicality goes. He looked way better than anything I've seen from Montgomery so far. Again, admittedly a small sample size. I'd love to see him get more so we can make an apples to apples comparison

thanks
the first video he shows (the op), it looks almost fast forward. that burst is just unreal. that's exactly what I was excited about back predraft. If/once he gets it together, watch out.
Yessir right with you. Want to see him used in the passing game next. Would be curious to hear what defensive personnel the Niners used when he was in.

How bad is this offense? I didn't get a chance to watch any of it but Goff's stats are shocking. Is this even an offense you want pieces of anymore?
Don Hutson
Footballguy
Henderson is far better suited than Brown to run behind a poor offensive line. Henderson might have a skillset that allows him to prosper even when he gets bad blocking. Brown cannot do that.

Rams were averaging 30 points a game coming into the SF game. They will be fine. Niners D is that good.
