They didn't run him with the starters because he hasn't earned running with the starters. He didn't run with the starters because he isn't a starter. Maybe he'll get some 1st half work in PS week 4..
I guess it would be alarming if you accepted the premise that he's a bell cow RB. But then you were working off a false premise from the onset. I still think he'll have FF relevance as a CoP RB once he gets his legs under him.
Well, if he can get a lot of regular season work against other teams' 3rd string D he ought to pay some real dividends..
Bronco Billy- this is a straight, I'm wrong or your wrong situation...
It wasn't me making the decision. If Sankey warranted 1st or 2nd team work in the preseason, he would have gotten it. I don't think my opinion matters much to the TEN coaching staff, but you could ask them while you're carrying Sankey's jock around.
Caveman (and lack of forward) thinking are evident in your responses...
Look, I felt the same way about Isaiah Pead before he got to the the NFL. I thought he had a great skill set exceptional running skills. Then I watched him in preseason and he looked NOTHING like the elusive runner that I had expected. That is how I feel about Sankey right now. I liked him before the draft, but as of right now, the guy just doesn't look like he belongs.
Wow - really ...
Block one person and it might become a little easier to sift through.
I'm with you 100% - I liked Pead's college tape but he never looked like an NFL RB. Thought he'd get there but he never did.
the best part of that is when the RB coach combines the best abilities of all of the RBs and fails to mention Sankey lol.
I prefer Bernard to Sankey (obviously in redraft, but dynasty, too), but even if some think he is a comparable talent, and Greene is a counterpart to Law Firm, relative to the CIN RBBC in Bernard's rookie season, there wasn't a McCluster counterpart, which makes this RBBC situation murkier for projection purposes. I agree with some upthread, it is hard to interpret Sankey's absence of playing time with the 1s as anything but a blow to expectations of a quick ascension to the top of the depth chart, which may cause some rethinking of his redraft projection to those who thought he would be further along by week 3 of the pre-season.
It is almost admirable that you are going down with the sinking ship that is Sankey's fantasy value. I guess the captain always goes down with his ship.
No, we aren't. 99% of the fantasy players responding in this thread are objectively observing and commenting on Sankey. You are not. At one time I admired your resolute opinion on him, but now you have jumped the shark.
You think there are people who believe he's the starting RB right now? If so, they aren't following football news much.
Even as recent as this week, I have heard guys on FF podcasts saying that Greene/McCluster are no good and that Sankey will get the job. People still have all these draft rankings with Sankey as top 25 RB. I think maybe until week 1 comes and the reality of Sankey getting only a few touches,some people will just default to these draft rankings.biju said:
I fished around and there was some interest, but most people felt like they wanted to see how their teams looked after a week or 2 before selling off anything significant for an unknown, I can't blame them. Based on how far he fell, I figure nobody was too excited about him. Kelvin Benjamin is the opposite, I am getting offers left and right for him.
As your #3 RB I don't see a problem. He'll be a lot more involved as the season goes on.
