All I’m sayin is I saw some clips, and though he might someday do something.
It’s gonna be a timeshare week 1. Shanny has already said he’s scared since last year he was down to his 4th rb in week 2. They’ll all get their chances and the cream always rises to the top! Woooo!
Sure, I’ll play. Go Niners!
I very much appreciate your analysis on that, but isn't that two plays entirely out of context and 10 or so other plays where almost nothing good happened? I mean why does that film make him more viable than TDP ATM?
And that, right there is why I want to bank on one of these guys. I'm just not sure why I'm not banking on the obvious choice of Wilson.
Yeah, I feel that too. But wouldn't you have said that about Mitchell at this time last year?
Well when the video is literally every snap that he played, not specifically every play that went his way ... That's always going to include many plays that nothing good happens.
I agree, cutting Sermon & Hasty, the Minnesota film and this thread is why I drafted him. But it wasn't just Mason, it was Mason and TDP that made Hasty & Sermon expendable. And didn't Hasty and Sermon, Sermon in particular, fail? It's not like beating them out is some great indicator of future success. Is it?
I love Wilson. He looks like he’s in awesome shape this year.
Probably so, yes. And now we’ve solved the mystery of Hardy Boys and the reason I never roster 49ers RB since Frank Gore was in town.
Of course, but we're there any true standout plays in that film? He did a good job in pass pro in one, gained a couple yards maybe, with and against a bunch of scrubs. I'm trying to figure how that film, or any other film on him, make him a good choice over TDP or, in particular Jeff Wilson?
The best ability is availability, that's why I avoid Wilson. Nothing to do with what he has done while available.
Niners backfield is like Dynasty Pokémon - ya gotta catch ‘em all!
For redraft the list priorities are way different the dynasty, but yes. I agree with that assessment
Love this conversation guys. I like quite a few guys you listed including the kc rookies and the gb receiver.
Wow one of these things it NOT like the other. One of these things just doesn't belong.
Yes, judging from film and reports he's the home run choice. But those QBs, that o-line and three very good targets in front of him make a path to 2022 relevance difficult to see.
Not flip in the least. I'm not asking because I was confident in the choice. This was probably the last thread I read before my draft and I don't abstain from alcohol for all 16 rounds.
When I look for a homerun lottery pick the first thing I ask is "if everything goes right, what pays out most?". If you look for reasons not to draft guys like this you'll never draft anyone.
The first thing I look at is how high of a mountain does he have to climb and this guy has a big mountain to climb. By that I mean how many injuries has to happen, or is he just flat out better than the guy in front of him and the coaches believe that as well? Opportunity is still important in fantasy football. Yes, I know talent is crucial and to some degree draft capital, but let's assume most of the guys we are talking about for this discussion are true dart throws. Either late round selections or undrafted FAs. The way I see it is that Mason has to hurdle 3 other players right now. So that places him right on the bubble of making a fantasy roster in leagues with 12 teams / 24 players / 26 players. In shallow leagues he should be on the waiver wire.
Mitchell and Wilson aren’t exactly pillar of health so there is some chance it could be this year.
What about the guy they drafted in the 3rd round? That's a 3 saddle mountain. Sure, he could jump TDP, but all 3? I would think something like happened to Baltimore last year has to happen.
I’d say if Mitchell and Wilson go down one of them will step up - obviously I can’t say which one. With SF RBs I’ll only mess around with ones that are dirt cheap and that was Mason who cost me nothing but a roster spot.
nice list .your home run picks are Pickens and Nico Collins. Houston is going to score on ppl. they've got an offense, and a better than average QB in Mills.
This is why I bumped this thread, to figure out if, right now, it's a 2 or 3 saddle mountain.
Not sure if you read all of the quotes, but my comments were about Pickens, not Mason, from his list. No one on that list has low mountains to scale, that's why they are lottery picks available in round 12.
I think we don't know for sure, but Mason looked as good as any RB on the roster this preseason. And the coaches do seem excited about him. TBD I'd say...and if you have the bench, definitely worth the stash
I thought this thread was about Mason, so I haven't paid any attention to any quotes about Pickens.
You're assuming he leaps TDP.
That sure is a lot of moving parts.
Maybe he already has. I know nothing about anything when it comes to watching film BUT when I watch this guy he seems to have average burst, not much high end speed and, if I am seeing this correctly he doesn't really drop his pad level through tight spaces, in short yardage or anticipating contact. He'll drop a shoulder but he seems to stay vertical for the most part and NFL LBs will eat that for lunch.
Not a far leap at all. I like Mason better from what I’ve seen and heard. You can keep your head in the sand though
Keep my head in the sand? Wow, you are assuming a lot from a 3rd or 4th string RB. So in response to your insulting remark, you can keep your head in the clouds. I'm not saying not to roster Mason in dynasty leagues, I'm just pointing out to you that a lot....and I mean a lot....of things has to happen for him to be fantasy relevant in 2022.
2 of those things seem to happen a lot (Mitchell and Wilson missing time). Really only one of those has to happen for him to get a shot - assuming he is ahead of TDP (which seems to have happened, but admittedly is not ensured).
We’ll see where are heads are pretty soon. Can’t wait for week 1!
He sure did - the fantasy community that hitched their wagon to Sermon know that all too well.
I think Morstert went down correct?
Yes. Mostert was the starter week one and got hurt on his second carry.
Is it possible they used him more last year since Mitchell was banged up all year?
