Let's discuss these RBs potentially on last legs (1 Viewer)

Targeting Johnson. If he can stay healthy he should be back in the RB1 tier. Zero competition and a potent offense.
Mildly interested in Gurley if he falls far enough. I'm more likely to go with a Mostert or Taylor in that range.
Avoiding Bell and Gordon. Especially Bell. That situation looks like an absolute disaster. Gordon looks like a RBBC headache.

I like DJ, and Gurley this season if the price is right......both on good offenses.....both should put up solid numbers. Gordon will prolly get a decent amount of TD's and a big game here and there, but I'm more of Lindsay guy.....Bell I don't believe in. He chased the money from a winning organization to a perpetual loser. His coach doesnt like him.....I tend to avoid jets in FF anyway

Ingram should be assed to this list.
i like David Johnson more than all and it’s not close:
he’s relatively young, has low mileage, high talent level, and a broken wrist isn’t the type of soft tissue injury that has lasting effects.
Johnson has been more “snake bit” the last 2 years. He’s in a great situation, should get 250+ touches with ~50 receptions. Love his late 3rd ADP, too. Wish I’d landed him.

Agreed. He's an avoid. The only problem with Gurley, Johnson and Gordon is efficient and possibly overly optimistic market pricing.

David Johnson is 28 and will turn 29 in December.
Gurley just turned 26.
Very odd to say that Johnson is young.

More low mileage for his age was my point. That’s what I meant by “relatively young” - he’s hardly played the last couple seasons, so his age relative to his peers/relative to the amount of abuse.
its really not very odd when you read the full sentence instead of paraphrasing what I wrote.

The wrist made him miss all but one quarter in 2018. In 2019 he looked terrible due in part to a back and an ankle injury - those things may have last effects. He left one game after a carry with the back injury.
He’s set up for a large workload but let’s see if he can do so and stay healthy. I don’t think you’ll regret missing him.

Crazy coincidence, but I drafted all four in an PPR auction league. These are the only RB’s on my roster, but I plan to add a lottery ticket. Paid more for Gurley & Johnson.
Winning bids were $30/$25/$17/$15 for Johnson/Gurley/Bell/Gordon.
If three of the perform as RB2/RB2/RB2, or if two of the perform as RB1/RB2, then I am ok. I like Gurley’s opportunity the most.

I'll never understand the DJ love. He had one amazing year and has been injured since. Not good.
Bell has no chance at doing anything with Gase as his coach.
Gurley and Gordon aren't going to be on my team because of their price but I can see them being quality rb2s.

I avoided Johnson...but really don't know why...more just his past few years being frustrating.
Agreed on Gurley...and yeah, ended up with him in 2 leagues (and after I had taken Mostert). And took them ahead of Bell and Gordon. Though, ended up with Gordon as an RB3 in one league that is TD heavy. We will see if that is wise.

Yeah - it’s a dice roll, but at his ADP it’s a good one. Guy in my IDP got him 4.12 after going WR/WR so not a bad pull if he stays on the field.

Understand your point when phrased as “he has low mileage relative to his age.” That isn’t actually what you wrote originally (“he’s relatively young, has low mileage...”). Those appear to be separate points.More low mileage for his age was my point. That’s what I meant by “relatively young” - he’s hardly played the last couple seasons, so his age relative to his peers/relative to the amount of abuse.
its really not very odd when you read the full sentence instead of paraphrasing what I wrote.
Anyway, yeah, he DOES have low mileage relative to his age because A) he was 23.5 years old when he got drafted, B) he’s missed most of the past two seasons due to injury.
Hope he bounces back. Always been a fan.

it’s just how my brain functions - stream of consciousness. They were one meandering poorly written point. It’s 102 at my farmers market & I’m cooked.
The receptions alone should do it. If not I have Duke Johnson in Dynasty & as my RB5 in redraft, so if he goes down I get a jackpot.
