Sure he could. Contrary to popular belief, this team has a bunch of weapons on offense and as long as he stays healthy Westbrook can be a top 5 RB (yes I said top 5).
Completely disagree... Barring injury what is going to stop him???He is proving his worth as a runner and wants the ball more... and everyone knows his value as a receiver... They have had two games where they were up big and hardly used him... (Houston & 49ers) He will continue to produce big numbers and is one of the best backs in fantasy this year... Take it to the bank!
He's on pace for 2240 yards and 26 TDs. I think that's why LHUCKs says No. Saying he won't continue with this output really isn't a knock on Westbrook. It's just unrealistic to predict that kind of output for any RB.
Agreed, of course I dont think that he is going to put up 150 and 3 every week... I dont think we have to take the original question that literal do we??? My point was is that Westbrook is going to continue to be one of the top producers at the runningback position...
It's the FBG way. We like to take questions literally (sort of a way to make fun of someone) until the person rewords the question.
Exactly. Until a more intelligent question is asked, this is my response.
I definitely could have used him down the road last year, thats for damn sure. I don't wanna hate on the guy but I just don't see him lasting the whole season. He does have some easy games coming up so I would hang onto him for now.
Looks like a good matchup - guarantees him about 45 yards rushing, 23 receiving and no scores. How the hell does that happen, anyway?at home vs GB on MNF this week
depends on who you're hearing it from
To all the sell high posts!The count me in as one of the few who is a believer. I say there is no way Westbrook is ailing that much. I think the reports are blown out of proportion.The guy is too blasted quick and elusive.With so many top RBs having issues. Jordan, James, Caddy, Alexander, Jackson, etc etc.There is no way I trade him in ppr unless its for LT2, LJ, or Portis.
You don't have to trade a RB for another RB. I've offered him straight up for Steve Smith and am still waiting for a response. I'd be very happy with that as I'm loaded at RB, but need WR help. Knees don't swell for no reason. I believe there's an ongoing problem there, but I don't believe it's bone on bone (isn't that another one of ESPN's wacky exclusives?) until I'm shown proof otherwise.
I would actually agree with you on your point, if you are loaded at running back then by all means sell, but I think people get carried away with the whole 'sell high' talk!! I can imagine all of these guys screaming "sell high" after Priest's first 3 games as the starting running back in Kansas City... Sometimes you should just realize that what you have may continue to produce and you should only sell high if you think there production is fluky or their situation may change. Example (Another player getting healthy and stealing carries... or something like this....)If you truly believe Westbrooks knee is screwed then by all means sell, but if you have watched him play he is the fastest, shiftiest guy on the field and hardly looks like he is anything less than 100 percent... He is a HUGE part of one of the best offenses in football and this is not going to change, so unless he is injured he is going to be huge for his owners... I will take the risk as I dont need help at receiver.You don't have to trade a RB for another RB. I've offered him straight up for Steve Smith and am still waiting for a response. I'd be very happy with that as I'm loaded at RB, but need WR help. Knees don't swell for no reason. I believe there's an ongoing problem there, but I don't believe it's bone on bone (isn't that another one of ESPN's wacky exclusives?) until I'm shown proof otherwise.
Agreed. In fact I have watched every game played this year and unless he is winded he is always in at goalline...
I have also seen this. Buckhalter is bigger, but Westbrook is trusted at the GL.I've always loved the guy. If the knee problems are truly behind him, he's in for the best season of his already pretty good career.
Well, he already has 5 TDs; he should get to at least 10. In 2005, the #6 RB had 11 TDs and 1700 total yards, which Westbrook should easily eclipse if he stays healthy. For the year, it'll be pretty easy for him to wind up in the top 5, considering how much of a head start he has. I would be mildy surprised if he puts up top-5 numbers for weeks 4-17.8-10 TD's will not put him near the top 5.
How's Lamont working out?
