Caddy Hamstring injury (Huggins time?) (1 Viewer)

Hm. They'll probably rest Cadillac this week against a tough steelers D...here's hoping Huggins can prove he can run against them

 
You would really trust Earnest Graham to take the full workload over a potential gamechanger? You should at least take a flier on Huggins. Many players gave up too early, and will regret it.

 
OK, here's what we know

Graham is ahead of Huggins on the depth chart

Morris has explicitly stated that Graham is "Mr Insurance" at the RB position

Graham has performed for the team in the past

After cutting Ward, the team brought in two RBs, Blount and Lumpkin, one of whom has shown more at the NFL level than Huggins has

They face the toughest team in the league against the run, who have thus far completely shut down Turner and CJ

Where do you see value here?

 
Even if Huggins gets good playing time this week, it's about the worst possible shot he could get. Playing the Steelers then going in to a bye week to let Caddy rest more if needed...I don't see Huggins gaining much here unless he just runs over the Steelers D.

The value is in the most talented back. Given Huggins, Graham, Blound, and Lumpkin on the free agency, knowing Caddy is injured, you would pass on Huggins in favor of 2 of the others? Come on.Vs PIT, they will almost have to go with a quick RB. Graham doesn't scare anybody. He's a 30 yo career backup goaline back.Huggins is a great asset in the passing game, esp on dump off passes. I would not play him, but he's worth stashing now, unless your league is quite shallow.

I'm sorry but if Chris the Jesus Johnson was limited to 39 yards vs Pitt then I expect Huggins to eat the grass this week. No thanks.

I don't agree with this type of thinking.If player X doesn't do it, player Y cannot either. Many factors go into fantasy production. All Huggins needs is 1 dump off pass to take it the distance, which will put him on fantasy radars.Also, hamstrings linger, and Caddy is avg 2.6 yards per carry. He not only sucks, but is injury prone.Even IF he is healthy, if Huggins shows something, he'll carve out some time and become playable as Flex in deep PPR leagues at least, or not more. What happened to all the Huggins love after just 2 weeks?Realize also Huggins was injured last week, now back to full practice.

:shrug:
A posting that has Blount and Lumpkin ahead of huggins is "good posting"? :wall:

I posted it in the other Huggins thread, but I'll mention it in here too:Imagine if Huggy busts off some long TD against the superpower Pittsburgh defense? The hysteria would reach epic levels. I'm praying for this to happen.

No, dude, I would pass on all of them. Are you new to the game or something?
Our rosters go 17 deep :shrug: . 8th year playing.
In dynasty maybe worth an add. I think there are much better bets on most WWs, and the smallest league I play in is a 12-teamer.If Huggins starts I'll be shocked. If he registers above 5 FP I'll be absolutely amazed.
I agree with you he may not start. But if Caddy sits, he could easily out-do Graham in # of touches.

Don't you have to be able to pass protect to be a "great asset in the passing game" as a RB?

you really think you have to be able to pass protect to be used in the passing game as a running back? You know far less than i thought.
Is that even remotely close to what I was saying?..?..."Great" passing game RB's can block.... Average or mediocre ones would typically be able to block as well....I didn't say he couldn't be "used in the passing game". But he'll never be "Great" when he gets trucked every time he has to pass protect... Good receiving RB's generally catching dump off passes, typically coming off a block to do so.. If opposing teams know he's not in to block, or that he can't block, you think he's going to fool anyone?

You asked, "Don't you have to be able to pass protect to be a "great asset in the passing game" as a RB?"And I told you No. All running backs in the NFL need to be able to pass block.

.... And Huggins Pass Blocking abilities are virtually non-existent... Like running through a wall of toilet paper...

If he's lining up at WR, is he still playing RB?.... Are you suggesting that he'll line up at another position besides RB?
im saying you dont have to pass block as a running back. Are you seriously not getting this?
"rbs can lineup anywhere on the field" <means> "you dont have to pass block as a running back"No, of course that's exactly how I understood it.. :wall:

i dont care about huggins or his skills. I simply answered your guestion. Good pass catching running backs line up all over the field and are in asset in the passing game. They arent always protecting the qb and splitting out wide after or up the gut and checking back.

What is to regret ........ the koolaid did not produce ...... Huggins has not seen daylight. Graham is the backup and has produced in the past.

I'm definitely on board to see some Def Leppard-style Hysteria if Huggins actually cranks off some gigantic runs. We deserve that kind of excitement around here.
