100% yes, though the Lions won’t - they love RBBCs. Maybe they bring back CJ.
I'm starting to think that maybe just a small group of us on here are interested in TY. I'm not hearing much buzz in general.
I think until the masses see the big picture of CJA’s release and what it means for TY’s touches, there won’t be a buzz.
If your league was deep enough to roster C.J., then it is deep enough to roster T.J. IMHO
Points taken, but it's not like KJ is a stud. A stash like TJ is attractive simply because of his upside. Part of it is if something happens to KJ, but long-term, I'm looking past that.
I think this is a good take. I’d up the touches to the 12-15 range, but obvioisly that’s game-flow related. Right now I see him as a Reddick-type COP.My view - Ty offers COP, home run threat and could see 8-10 touches/game in support of KJ. I do not see Ty getting more than 30% load without significant KJ injury. There was a pre-season report on how CJA's legs looked good, but he could not pick up the offense. Did not make sense to me at the time, since is has experience with several OC formats, but maybe they expected more from him in packages. Could not find the report ... too old to recall source
This aspect of TJ's play is initially what made me think he could be something more than a COP. He's a much tougher runner than you would think.
I dropped Justice for him but as a KJ handcuff. In a bubble, I’d rather have a piece of the Ravens than the Lions.
I don’t think Ty has a worthwhile fantasy role if Kerryon is healthy. The Lions will use 3 backs and play slow.
LOL. 5-10, 210 is a COP back and 5-11, 211 is not. Maybe it's the other way around and they want the guy that runs a 4.37 40 and runs over people as the starter and the slow guy who gets hurt a lot as the COP.
I’m a Ty owner and that is even too bullish for me. Kerryon has earned a lot of trust and can keep Stafford upright. Let’s walk before we run. Let Ty earn his way up in carries if he can...
For better or worse, they have made a concerted effort to stop their former way of being obvious with their formations. Teams saying they knew the plays before the lions did based on offensive packages. Unless of course you see the fullback out there on 4th and 1.
Didn't they claim Perkins? I thought I saw something about that. But he also could be one of the three you mentioned.
I hadn't seen that they'd picked up Perkins. I was talking about McKissic as the 3rd back. Perkins is in the 210 pound range, too.
Seems new more of a handcuff for the sometimes injured starter than a week by week play.
Are we sure he's the handcuff and not McKissick though? Not a lot of data for either to be sure.
No, I think hes talking about that movie Jennifer Lopez was in back in the late 90s with the giant snake
Imagine it will be the same volume as McKissic until one or the other grabs the reins.
He'll likely be their feature back. McKissic is a JAG with a role.
We have yet to see how badly Kerryon is injured and how much time he may miss -- if any.
His injury didn’t seem serious last year either and he was out all season
Fwiw, Marquise Brown finished the game after his injury but has missed the last 2 games.
Gotta be reserved for deeper leagues IMO.
