Rodriguez in first drive

lol…the JCM roller coaster continues…

The perils of being high on a 7th round pick

@LawFitz

Looking prescient, bruh. Nice one.

 

[Footballdaz]

Wish I didn't drop Rodriguez last week. Had a feeling if Ekler got hurt he'd be taking over as teams rb.. Bill will be in on passing downs.

Don't bank on JCM being the passing down guy, it could easily be Nichols.

It seems less likely they would trust the rookie in passing situations when they aren't in running situations.

 

[Ilov80s]

I think Mariotta playing could increase the chances we more of the veterans.

People laughed at my posts in this thread about Rodriguez, look who’s laughing now! My new Jordan Mason

Why? He's a veteran in his second year in the offense. I am sure the full playbook is open.

Are you sure that's what they were laughing at?

Just to have a steady reliable presence who's less likely to make a mistake in pass pro or on a play call. With MM it will be tougher to overcome mistakes.

“Yes, Croskey-Merritt is active and healthy, he just hasn't seen the field yet.

This has been a trend over the Commanders' first two games. Croskey-Merritt has gotten his first snaps on the team's third offensive drive in each game.

It looks like that trend will continue in Week 3”

[Football Jones]

This is why I said there's a lot at play. As high as I am on Bill, I haven't started him yet. Is he their most talented RB? Yes, by a lot, but he's a 7th round pick with little college experience.

Patience, grasshopper.

 

[Chaka]

Looked good the last two drives. That was a strong run for 9.

 

[Chaka]

Followed it up with a great sidestep for 7-8 more.

You took the words out of my mouth. Great for best ball, but regular leagues are going to be a headache.

Worst part is it is a five way committee. Both of their qbs run, they have three rbs getting touches, and I bet Deebo is going to see three to six runs a game.

Yup.

Still glad I traded Worthy for him, though (redraft).

 

[Chaka]

Think about it. Just two more injuries and this guy is going to be special.

 

[Dez]

The Crosker in for the TD !

 

[WVU Alum]

Bill TD

[Ilov80s]

Bill Croskey stands over 7 feet tall and has a pet komodo dragont that he's trained like a police dog. Bill Croskey!

 

[ponchsox]

Looked good but the usage won’t be there for a RB2 season. Looks like a solid RB3/flex

 

[ffmail4me]

Only complaint is usage. He still has looked very good with the touches he’s gotten. I’m still on board.

 

[ffmail4me]

I agree but there is still tons of time for things to change. Irving didn’t take over the Bucs backfield until what late October or November? I’m still hopeful

 

[Chaka]

Problem is, every RB looked good so it's unlikely his usage will increase as long as that's happening.

 

[Ilov80s]

He looks like a flex or bye week/injury replacement players until something changes

It’s easy to tell who got shares of Bill vs who didn’t get shares of Bill in this thread.

Put me on team “special” wishcasters.

Not really. I have a couple shares but just can’t honestly call him “special” at this point. Not everyone bases their opinions of players based on how many shares they have.

I disagree. Everyone bases their opinions on how many shares they have. Confirmation bias at work.

You're automatically wrong when you use the word "everyone"

No, I’m not. Everyone uses the word everyone.

Wrong again

This interaction = 2 people. So far, 2 people have used the word ‘everybody’. 100%.

2/2 is everybody. Science and math. Infallible.

Wrong again

Full blown RBBC from what I can see.

I like him as my RB4.

I’d probably still rather have Worthy though.


Hey, at least we were right about Caleb > Baker. Probably the difference between my W & L in that league. Go us!

[The Frankman]

Jacory Croskey-Merritt rushed eight times for 26 yards and a touchdown in the Commanders’ Week 3 win over the Raiders, adding one catch for five additional yards.

JCM didn’t see any work until the Commanders’ third drive of the game, but the rookie did find the end zone late in the third quarter on a one-yard plunge to put the Commanders up by three possessions. Those hoping for Croskey-Merritt to take over the backfield will need to wait at least another week — or longer. The Commanders involved three different running backs in this one while also giving Deebo Samuel three carries. Croskey-Merritt shouldn’t be viewed as anything more than a touchdown-dependent option in Week 4 against the Falcons.

[Football Jones]

For what it's worth, one of the broadcasters called Bill special. While I've only said he's got a chance to be special, I won't put up much of an argument when somebody uses that word to describe him.

We just need to be patient. Remember, not only is Bill a 7th round pick, he essentially only has one year of major college experience. I'm confident Bill will be their feature back by next season. Considering how cheap most of us acquired him, anything sooner is a bonus (at least in dynasty leagues).

8/26 is special? Special doesn't let guys like McNichol's and Rodriguez see the field

Everyone in dynasty who hasn't already sold will never learn. JCM's go in the 7th round for a reason. They're replaceable level talent.

Relax, they know the offense .. If he wasn’t special they wouldn’t feel comfortable dealing their starting RB to San Fran. Rodriguez and McNichols are nothing more than complimentary pieces to the running game. Bill’s time will come. Be patient.

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Man, I was at a BWW watching the early games when I saw McNichols got the start.

My first thought was “Don’t they know Bill’s SPECIAL?!?”

 

[Chaka]

8/26 is special? Special doesn't let guys like McNichol's and Rodriguez see the field

I'm staying out of the "special" side of this silly argument but his touches were : 0, 5 (reception), 9, 9, 4, -2, 6, 0 (GL), 1 (TD), -1

On two of those carries his maximum yardage potential was 1 yard.

He had a fine day.

Or maybe BRob just isn’t special.

I tried to sell but couldn’t find a buyer. Maybe don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Gonna see myself out of this thread. Good luck to those who hold in dynasty! I've seen this same story too many times.

You're stuck holding him if you can't sell for a 2nd+ or a 3rd + another flier

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

And you assume I don’t know this because… ?

Also, I drafted him in the 17th round of a start-up. If I could flip him for a 2nd round rookie, that’s a total win.

Perspective helps.

 

[zeeshan2]

This backfield is a mess

Chris Rodriguez started for the Commanders and played the first drive. From there, we saw a three-way rotation. Final backfield carry shares: CRod - 48% Bill - 35% Jeremy McNichols - 17% Rodriguez got the backfield’s only target. Nobody here is particularly startable.
