5 touches, 35 yards, 0TD's.... That's probably high side...

I have a feeling you are about to be wrong yet again about him.

Make your prediction, add something to the thread... The above post is yet another veiled attack... Don't carry that nonsense into this thread too. Troll elsewhere...

I'll make a prediction..10 touches 57yds.1/3 of the yards on one touch
Click to expand...
I was thinking more along the lines of Half+ on one touch..10 touches for 57 yards is possible, and certainly not unrealistic. 10 touches a lot to give a kid who has never played a real NFL game before.. Reggie Bush only saw 7 touches last night, in a similar role. This kid is no Reggie Bush. And this is no Saints Offense. I still feel pretty strong in my earlier prediction, though I wouldn't be terribly surprised to see a little more.Care to share how you come up with the #'s?
 
5 carries, 23 yards; 1 rec, 7 yards. Lovely day for a backup getting his first real touches, not so lovely a day for your lineup.

Sure Caddy is the starter, but he is banged up and TB says they want to split carries against an anemic Browns D. I see him breaking away for a long TD here and really am tempted to start him over LeSean McCoy at flex. Am I just itching to try out my sleeper here or what?

I'm thinking you're itching to try out your sleeper. "or what" - is if you have no other options. If you rank him ahead of your other RBs start him. It's that simple. You want to play a hunch? Go for it. Personally, I don't play hunches. I'd rather much play the odds.
 
What if he goes off for 20 and 150 with 2 TD's, and makes the Caddilac look rusty and broken down?

Means the OP was lucky over good, since there is no legitimate evidence that Huggins is going to recieve that role w/o an injury to Caddilac.In blackjack I can double down on a 15 with the dealer showing 10 and draw a 6, but that is still a terrible percentage play that most of the time will lose me money.

12 touches and 66 yards, based on what? We're reaching full blown rbbc territory now...

Caddy was their top RB last year and he had about 200 carries IIRC, next you have a QB that is getting over a thumb injury on his right hand, a rookie go to WR, a team that TB has a chance to beat in Cleveland, you add that up and you have the recipe for a lot of hand offs in this game, enough for Caddy to run it somewhere in the 14-18 carry range and for Huggins to have some touches.

I believe the last time a TB RB had 150 rushing yards and 2 rushing TD in the same game was Warrick Dunn against the Cowboys on 12-03-00 (210 rushing yards, 2 TD).I don't think I would be going out on a limb to suggest that neither Huggins nor Williams will be getting 150/2 this week.

OP is getting that tingly feeling over his "pot of gold" that is an undiscovered fantasy threat (in his mind) and , like all of us in early season, he is chomping at the bit to be right.Compares to golf, trying to land the Par 5 490 yard green in two shots after your beautiful 280 yard drive to the rough. If you can just carry that lake on the left side with a soaring 210 yard 2 iron, you are indeed, carrying a story the rest of the year to your buddies (even if you 3 put that landed shot!).Swing away with Huggy :football:

Good analogy, except i dont think Caddy would be a dealer showing a 10. I think it would be more like doubling down with a 12 and the dealer showing a 7. Caddy isnt exactly Chris Johnson or Adrian Peterson.
 
A reason to NOT start Huggins?

Because you have legitimate flex player options to put in instead? :goodposting:

I don't think Caddy was intended to be the primary back last season.. If I remember correctly, Ward started the season as RB1... That would account for the limited season total for Caddy.
 
I'm starting Kareem Huggins. :bag:

32 team league and my starting RB is Michael Bush. :bag: I'm not going to be around this morning to see if he's playing or not.

To the OP, you're f'n crazy.

30 of the 50 yards come on one play late in a game.

PS, I am always amused to read from guys touting their own fantasy expertise with generic comments like "Huggins will be good, because Caddy is IR material" and "Huggins will be bad because he runs upright" and "You are a n00b". Make a prediction on Huggins, if you are such an expert, and let's see where you stand on Monday.

 
I know it's been said but this is a really low odds decision. Even if Huggins outplays McCoy, it wasn't the right choice.

I must have looked ten times trying to buy what was sold in the pool on Huggins and I just couldn't. Still, far too many loved the guy that I wouldn't be surprised if he has a great game late in the season or somesuch. It was just far too premature and they have a ton of RBs in Tampa

The fallacy here was there was something actually wrong with Caddy's performance, speed or health for this week.

And Huggins had 0 carries in the first game last season as well....I can't see how that relates..Both un-drafted rookies in 09, Foster goes off first game of 2010, Huggins doesn't even see an offensive snap.. Whats your point?

My point is fantasy teams that wrote off Foster last year after one game are really regretting it now.
 
Huggins was in for at least 7 offensive snaps yesterday. I was at the game, directly behind the Bucs bench. They lined him up in the slot multiple times but never got the ball to him.

So did the kid play this week? If so what did he do?

He played at least 1 play on Def per NFL.Com showing he registered a tackle assist in the stat line. Not 1 offensive play.

There are plenty of RB's that didn't get a carry the first game of the season. Some will do great things, a very large percent of them will not... I don't see how that is an indicator of any kind..
 
Huggins is what he is. A bigtime sleeper that could potentially gain value if Cadillac gets injured. I definetely was surprised to see Huggins get zero carries in week 1, but anyone that even considered playing Huggins at this point was dreaming.

You have to think at some point, though, that Huggins will get his shot. At that point, we'll judge him.
