Also, sounds like this years Kareem Hunt. I wouldn't mind that production.Lots of hope/hype in here, but I see a guy that hits the hole hard, does his best to get north/south, finishes runs but has almost zero vision. He runs with impatience and does not do a good job of setting up blocks. In other words, in many cases, he gets what's there and punishes the defenders before going down. Unfortunately, on almost every run last week, I saw extra yards left on the field. As much as I wish it to be true, this is not an Arian Foster remix. Sorry to be the wet blanket, and maybe he gets better, but I just don't see it.

FWIW, Hunt still displays excellent wiggle and vision through the hole even after everything he's been through in the NFL.

I wouldnt compare him to vintage Kareem Hunt and KC is undoubtedly a more skilled team and better coached team. Kareem Hunt this year is a bruiser who get the yards given to him and as you mentioned his wiggle game is pretty damn good. Hunt is a volume based runner this season. Give McCormick 20 plus touches with his running style I think he can be productive.

Hun's not the running back he once was, that I will concede, but McCormick has no wiggle from what I saw. Hunt might not make the spectacular play he was once capable of making, but I still see him hitting the hole hard making full speed cuts through the hole making defenders miss. His skillset is still lightyears ahead of McCormick's, and the team he plays on matters. I also won't deny McCormick's automatically better than anything else on the Raiders roster simply because he runs hard. Laube, Abdullah, White and Mattison are all pansies. I hope McCormick turns into something, I love a good underdog story, but I just don't see it with him. Also to be clear, I'm not saying you shouldn't take a chance on him. The running back position has been a mess this season and there are 6 teams on a bye this week, with 5 of those teams having a running back that's a meaningful fantasy contributor.You're seriously comparing McCormick to Hunt?

I agree 100%. The chances of him becoming a playoff darling are slim. More times than not, these situations don't pan out. But, like you said worth a dart throw as a bench stash if you have the room or bye week fill in if you need it.

There aren't any, really. That's because McCormick doesn't really have the natural talent to be a consistent starter in the NFL. Audric Estime might be the best comp I can come up with for guys actually getting carries. Carson Steele as well, but McCormick seems to have much more confidence in his abilities than Steele.I agree 100%. The chances of him becoming a playoff darling are slim.

Oh, when you said "this year's Kareem Hunt" I thought you meant "analogous to Kareem Hunt's situation when he came on". But you are saying, his style sounds like Hunt's current style, right? That makes more sense, my bad.What does him being a huge prospect and top 4 rookie RB have to do with comparing his declined running style this season to another RBs running style?I also just don't understand that comparison to begin with, Hunt was a huge prospect.

Apparently laughing at a snowflakes bad spin on a topic. Most people can handle it, but apparently many are sensitive.What’s the wrong type of behavior…laughing?

Roschon out. Pick up Homer for “break glass in case of emergency” bye-mageddon RB insurance.

I can’t imagine Homer scoring double digit points.

When it’s Homer or Akers or Patrick Taylor or Abanikanda as your opinions, with Swift having a quads issue and limited in practice, it’s at least a greater-than-zero option.

They're ranked somewhere like 27 or 28th against the run this year. Not the same Bucs defense as last year.

He had knee surgery in May 2002 that cost him an entire year his rookie year. Then in 2023 was behind Josh Jacobs and Zamir White under McDaniels. It’s explainable. He went undrafted because he’s 5’9” and runs a 4.6, which won’t win you any long speed contests. But Pierce was willing to use him over the drafted Laube and also over Abdullah and then complimented McCormick during his presser recently. They then went and signed him to the fifty-three man squad.
*shrugs*
I liked watching him run against the Chiefs. Strong, one-cut runner. I have no idea how he’ll hold up, but I traded away for him in dynasty because my RB situation is hurting and he’s a lottery ticket. I hope he hits. I didn’t give up too much. Devaughn Vele and Jalen Coker for Sincere, Isaiah Davis (I roster Breece Hall) and a valuable linebacker rental. Matt Waldman led off his Top Ten article this week with McCormick and said that rostering him was “worthwhile for teams that have the luxury” and that he should split carries with Mattison if not outright win the job.
Wheels up!
-OZ-
Footballguy
Different subject but I think Coker has a better chance of being a difference maker long term.
rockaction
Footballguy
No doubt. It’s a win-now trade. I probably shouldn’t have gone into it. It’s an aside, really, but is there to show that some people are valuing him and have been following it more extensively than just having claimed McCormick or Mattison off waivers.
Just made the switch based on your one word response lol. My game is meaningless this week anyway

Sticking him in over NWI in the flex - NWI can't keep it going, can he?? Not a must-win, but I could win a bye.
