RB Sony Michel (1 Viewer)

This is lazy analysis by PFF.  Not that it can’t happen, but this is a different patriots team with a worse o line and no develin.  
I agree, I just figured for all the shade thrown his way, I'd find the sunlight. Vegas wouldn't be getting a buck from me on that bet. No way do I bet when the Hoodie is in town.

A better bet would be for the trend of michel struggling and Burkhead outplaying him to continue this week.  I don’t feel strongly enough about that take to put Burkhead in my flex over Curtis Samuel or out him as my rb2 over rojo (yes rojo as my rb2 after the Barkley, penny and guice injuries lol).  But gun to my head I’ll bet that Burkhead outplays him again BC the offense is set up better for him than Sony at the moment. Belichek knows this. He might try to get Sony going but ifnit ain’t happening he’s not just going to keep feeding Sony to get 1 yard and a cloud of dust while Burkhead is ripping off 4 yards a clip and a better pass catcher that gives the offense more unpredictability when he’s on the field.

Well said

One thing about this is that it reminds you of how the Patriots handle business.  Michel has every reason to start yapping in the press, but he's been a good soldier.

 
I’d buy.

FWIW I’m holding him.  I think his value is rock bottom and the WR 3 I would expect to get for him can be found on the waiver wire for free.
I'm offering for a tad better than waiver wire rock bottom, and nobody is buying. He's a hold at his value right now, which is, um, limited. 

 
OMG Bolden  :doh:
Yea. That’s a really bad sign for BB’s confidence in Michel.

i can almost feel that he hates him so much. Can’t break a tackle. Fumbled last week.

I’m thinking BB didn’t even want to draft the kid ... Damien Harris might be his guy, but no need to use him yet.

i feel like a jerk for buying into the TD potential/hype on Michel.

Plus one.

 
I’m done. Pats have been up 6 for what seems like the entire 2nd half and I’m not sure this guy has more than 2 carries. 

 
Sony Michel rushed 17 times for 63 yards in the Patriots' Week 4 win over the Bills.

As usual, Michel was not targeted in the passing game. Sadly, it was one of Michel's better efforts of the season. With 25 percent of the year in the books, the Pats' early-down back is on pace for just 684 yards rushing despite facing one of the softest schedules known to man. Thankfully, it stays soft for two more weeks before finally beginning to stiffen. Even in next week's gorgeous spot with the Redskins, Michel will be last-gasp RB2.

Belichick is speaking volumes with his usage. No need to read between the lines. Guy is averaging sixteen totes a game.

When Watson comes back, and it all comes around, he'll be in the center of it.

 
No rex, no Harris,  inferior opponent. If it doesn't happen today it's never happening. He's in my flex this week
Have to expect a 20+ carry game for Michel today. Does the Pats running game finally get it going today?

This is an annual event now right? The Pats put up a turd in Sep, "the end is finally here" cries follow, and then they demolish their next opponent. Who will the recipient be? I'm guessing both RBs.

 
I'm leaning towards playing him now as you know he's gonna get 12-15 touches and the game script should be favorable. That counts for something... doesn't it?!?!

 
Washington a complete joke against the run so, naturally, Brady has 31 PASS ATTEMPTS at half. God I hate owning shares of this offense.

 
Droppable now, no way I play this trash bag again. I was in a pinch today had to play him. But I will use backup tight ends at this point for flex.
