I'm in a similar boat, if Montgomery can't go then I'm forced to choose between Miller and Achane. Talking myself into Miller being able to at least score a TD, I mean if Tony Jones can do it twice last week then why not Miller...
for this week anyway, achane isn't in the same neighborhood as these other backs mentioned with mostert upright imo. the others have a starter amount of opportunity in front of them, achane doesn't.
Miller over Herbert was way easier. Further regarding that comparable, I have Herbert & Miles Sanders in a different league. I'm not excited about starting either of them, & Sanders is working thru an injury. But I'm not waiting until 4pm to find out whether he's a go. Reason being, Herbert is the only other option I have in that time slot. What might you be considering with Herbert?
well he's coming off an injury for one and a rookie, but on the other hand Kamara is back next week, both can prob co-exist though and be decent
Tony Jones Jr. out snapped him 30 to 21 (49% to 34%). Again, it's his 1st games coming off injury. He wasn't going to dominate snaps off the bat.
Update? LOL....I'm just playing.
i picked the wrong day to take that stand lol. i invite anyone to come out and dispute that before last weekend!
For real, nobody saw that coming. Least of all YOU. Loli picked the wrong day to take that stand lol. i invite anyone to come out and dispute that before last weekend!
edit: i don't have any shares of achane and mostert is still the "starter."
Right, but he also has to contend with Jamaal Williams upon his return. I can't imagine team brass will want Kamara to carry this kind of workload for the rest of the season, so there is probably fantasy value for the 1B - just not sure who that will be.
If you're a Kamara owner I'd grab him.
In many ways from a fantasy standpoint, it was probably better that the season ended yesterday for the Saints. If they made the playoffs, Kamara probably comes back and Kendre goes back to the bench. If Kamara had a strong playoff game, that might muddy the waters more. Now with Kendre's strong finish while Alvin was out and Jamaal continued to struggle, maybe it gives team brass a bit more confidence in Kendre's role next year.
I'm not gong to label it a guarantee Kamara is returning, like I did last off-season, but I'd be surprised if he's not back. Have said this before but there is has not been a ton of turnover in the Saints FO and coaching staff since Kamara arrived and the bonds are tight and I think he played well though for sure something will need to be done with his contract.
Allen actually used that word yesterday to say what that game did for Kendre and what it did for him as well with regards to his ability.
I actually meant Kamara would be back healthy for the playoffs as opposed to next year, but your points are still taken.
I'm not even talking about trying to trade Abanikanda. He could be considered a drop in some leagues, depending on roster management.
Absolutely on the bolded. Since we're talking about Miller, he has to make a big splash this year if Kamara sticks around (Jamaal seems to be done-zo). Otherwise, by next season when Kamara is likely gone, the team might move on to the next potential toy, especially if there is a new coaching regime.
I drafted him 3.08, 3.10, and 3.02 in standard dynasty leagues. You never know, there could be a better dart throw available to replace him on a roster. If not, then treat as an end-of-bench guy like you drafted him in the first place. No one drafted Abanikanda hoping for playing time IMO. He's more important to the Hall owner than anyone else. Others hoping (God forbid) for a Hall injury is probably not a great strategy, but given his talent, I can see why people drafted him in the late 3rd and 4th round of last year's draft.
I suppose it was a BPA situation given how high I was on him at this time last year and small risk given where I drafted him. I agree that was probably not a great strategy if I didn't already have Hall. I didn't draft him hoping for an injury btw, but if it happens, I'll take it. I was just super high on him last year and a 3rd round pick is low risk.
Said this in the Kamara thread I won't go all over again but I don't think he's going anywhere and frankly find it surprising they don't at least ask him to take a pay cut. But like last year when mutliple people were reporting that's what the Vikings and Bengals would be doing with Dalvin and Mixon, no one credible was saying that the Saints were ever going to ask that of Kamara last year or this year.
