RB Chase Edmonds, TB (2 Viewers)

I’m not going to pretend to know how this is going to workout but the reactions week after week on some of these players is all over the place.

It was thought to be a split going into game 1 and after week 1 snap counts that we’re dominated by Edmonds with mostert getting little work. Then in week 2, Edmonds is the start of the week and big sleeper and Mostert out touches him game 2 and now Mostert is the starter.

It’s 2 games with en entirely new team and coaching staff. No one knows anything yet…seems like McCarthy is a smart guy and seems like there may have been different game plans for each game. He could coach RBs like Belechick and rotate backs game to game.

The one thing I do think I know is that the RB likely won’t matter much on this team…the offense is going to go thru what may be the top WR tandem in the league.
The counter argument is that the RB gets dragged to fantasy relevancy by what could be a high powered offense. With the amount of attention defenses will have to give to Hill and Waddle I'm happy to bet on Mostert
I might think that when I see that but so far there’s been nothing close to suggest that from the coach or what’s happened on the field.
It's only been 2 weeks, there will be rb touchdowns at some point. How could any defensive coordinator allow Hill and Waddle to torch them given the Ravens debacle last week? Teams will sell out hard to take them away and let the likes of Edmonds, Mostert and Gesicki beat them

With the barren RB2 ranks that is a solid enough bet. With the caveat it is not this week against Buffalo but down the road

As I said, I’m not going to pretend how this is going to work out but week 3 goes clearly in Edmonds favor. Now he’ll be all the rage next week
 
the offense is not thru the rb’s and the consistency will be all over the place. I’m going to try and package him, to the mostert owner, the Montgomery owner and any other owner looking to shake things up.

Yeah, just have to wait to see if things change, but probably seems like it will be due to a Mostert injury.

There must be things going on behind the scenes, as they aggressively went after Edmonds right out of the free agency gate and gave him pretty big money for an RB. Maybe he's just not the guy they expected or they realized Mostert just fits the scheme better - who knows.

With Tua presumably out for some time, they may lean even heavier on the run game, which would favor Mostert.

Teddy* will hopefully check down to RBs more - Edmonds has been one of the better receiving backs the last few years. But schematically, Mostert is a better fit - one cut and go fast through the wide zone. Chase is more of an elusive back who is good at winning one on one (running or catching), Maheem's strength has always been his speed.

Just thankful they give him RZ touches and haven't thrown Gaskin or Ahmed in the mix to really neutralize the whole backfield.

*as a football fan I hope Teddy doesn't see more than 1-2 starts because Tua has a chance to have a great season with these weapons; really like McDaniel as a play caller, he spreads it around and keeps defenses guessing.

Totally agree - that was also the scheme in SF that Mostert performed well in when healthy. The question still begs why they gave Edmonds $12 million for 2 years to play him situationally like they are. But it's a long season, so I guess we'll see. Or at least I hope.

Because you can’t go into a season with just Mostert (who may have set a record for games played without getting injured so far this season) and the bums they had last year.
I’d imagine if Tua misses time tHey will try and run the ball more now.
 
Droppable?
I know the fantasy points are really inflated due to the TDs, but can you really drop a guy who scored 3 td's in the last 2 weeks? Don't think that's ever been done in fantasy history.
You can and should if the situation dictates it. It's total points. If he is scoring a TD every week but his total for the night is 8.50 and there are better options or an option of need for your roster that can achieve you more than yes. I would not drop him myself just yet he has shown in the past to do much more in an explosive offense. I sat him in 2 leagues last night and I'll admit when he got that shuffle pass I was like uh-oh here we go again. LOL. I sat him the previous week in my flex position. I started Dortch over him. (not bad). This week I started Alec Pierce over him in one league and Tony Pollard in the other. It's been a rough start. :)

Of course, but it wouldn't have taken $12 million/2 years to get a counterpart for Mostert. Edmonds is probably being paid more than the vast majority of RBs throughout the league.

RB14 in average salary.

12. Hines 6.2M
13. Ekeler 6.15M
14. Edmonds 6.05M
15. Hunt 6.0M
16. Penny 5.75M
...
22. Jamaal Williams 3.0M
...
31. Mostert 2.125M


He's not droppable in 12 team leagues; he's also not startable. But it's a long season, and who knows what the situation will be in Nov/Dec.

He's middle of the pack as far as salary and he is being used. Contracts don't always work the way we think they will.
 
I do want to thank Chase for making the decision extremely easy to cut him. Was holding one more week in case Mostert got hurt or they somehow starting using Chase more.

Chase Edmonds rushed two times for three yards, adding two catches for 28 yards on two targets in the pass game in the Dolphins' Week 6 loss to the Vikings.


Edmonds and Raheem Mostert each saw two targets, but it was again Mostert who dominated the carries, out-carrying Edmonds 14-2. Edmonds has become little more than an end-of-bench stash in deeper leagues as Mostert insurance.

Broncos acquired Chase Edmonds from the Dolphins as part of the Bradley Chubb trade.​

Latavius Murray and Melvin Gordon will get a new challenger in the Denver backfield from Edmonds, who has zero 10-carry games since Week 1 and just 41 rushing yards over his last five weeks of action. It's hard to say if Edmonds will lead a RBBC at the position without a statement from Nathaniel Hackett, but Murray had 14 carries in Week 8 and is probably the main competition for playing time at the moment. Edmonds at least has a chance to get back to fantasy relevancy in Denver. The Broncos are on bye in Week 9.

Chase is now a member of the Denver Broncos

Who exactly is going to stop him from getting touches?
Flush the Miami Dolphins' experience, he was not right for that system that McDaniel implemented and I believe he will do much better in Denver if they let him take the field which i believe they will. Edmonds can help them since they have sustained a major injury at RB.

I can see Chase easily getting 10-12 touches a week, Murray won't keep the spot too long and they have soured on MG3.
Within a couple weeks I think we will be watching Chase producing some meaningful points for FF in Denver.

:thumbup:
Waiver Wire, end of bench, tuck him away
He's HEALTHY!!!
 
I've been on the train since day one. Heck, I started this thread. I've had opportunities to exit Edmonds over the years. At one point someone offered me a first round dev pick for him. I regret holding. It seems very clear now that he's sort of a poor man's Kenyan Drake who's just going to bounce around the league teasing people without ever really locking up a starting job. There's enough of a sample size now that we know what he is and isn't.

With all that being said, this trade can't be bad news. I look at it as a positive that he's going to a team that wants him, who hopefully has a better plan for using him. Per the Drake comparison, maybe this is the magical window where he'll default into 15+ touches per week before fading back into obscurity, as Kenyan has done once or twice in his career. I've long since accepted that Edmonds is not a franchise guy, so at this point I'll take a flukey Knowshon Moreno run where he produces in spot duty for half a season.

EastBay Funk, can we get a title change to Denver? please
Thanks

:hifive:

Great move for Chase, wasn't working out and he can be the guy there until at least the start of next season and many feel Javonte might not be ready Week 1, could be on the PUP to at least start '23, who knows how he will do when he returns. This is a great opp for Chase for the rest of '22. I liked him before he arrived in Miami but he just was a fish out of water in Mike McDaniel's offense, could never adjust or seem to find his rhythm and still he had 10 catches for almost 100 yds and a TD but he's not getting a steady of diet of targets with WR1 and WR1A, he's not a priority and he wasn't very good at just taking 1-2 carries here and there, he needs snaps and touches.

Hasn’t the coach or GM already come out and said the Gordon is still the starter?
 
Doomed to RBBC forever.

Every year, someone gets excited about Edmonds getting a large share of an offense. Every year it’s heartbreak.

Now he’s a Bronco. Murray, Gordon, Edmonds. Yuck
