I certainly wouldn’t be brave enough to start him this week in the league I have him (and lost Pacheco) unless Reid comes out and says he’s the man.
Mason has virtually no competition for touches, while Steele seemingly has lots.
True. I’m talking about the talent because he was comparing him to great rbs. I would rather have Braelon Allen than Carson Steele ROS because at this point I have to see him get all the touches. I think Perrine has a larger role than most realize.Mason has virtually no competition for touches, while Steele seemingly has lots.
It's the slowest 40 time for an NFL running back ever.

No it isn't
well, clearly they have not been using him in this way. (not yet anyways) but if hes getting significant play, they likely will start
Same could be said about 1st and 2nd down. I think the Steele owners will be the ones scratching their heads.
CEH played as a rookie.
Kareem Hunt did and played well. CEH was never good. Damien Williams took over for CEH and looked much better.

First, I wouldn't bring up Jerry Rice in the discussion, but no one knows how this will shake out. My opinion is that I would be hard pressed to start any of them initially, but that could change. If I could get a 2025 2nd round pick for any of the them I would jump on it.There may be reasons some people aren't bullish on Steele but his 40 time shouldn't be one of them. Did Jerry Rice suffer from a very slow 40 time for a WR? I'd argue vision, power, footwork, and tenacity are all more important that just 40 time. We've seen lots of track guys try to play RB in the NFL and that never works. He doesn't have to worry about running past guys if he runs OVER guys.
the 40 time is only an indicator of a players ability to break a long run. I would guess 90% of the carries dont make it into the secondary.
This, along with Reid's latest chatter. Sounds like Perine has the lead role - because he's the vet and can be trusted. Coaches want to win and not get their franchise QB crushed.
Didn’t Pacheco play as a rookie in 2022 when CEH got hurt or is my memory getting really bad?
So if you want to look at times.
I was going by what some analyst said. My mistake to repeat it.
I grabbed him for 30 percent of my FAAB in a 14 teamer because I went WR heavy early and my RBs suck. Expectations aren't high but if he starts on Sunday, I'm putting him in. Worth a shot in that offense.
Is it insignificant that of the 35 slowest RBs ever, of which Steele was tied for slowest of all, the most famous guy is known for his dad's boxing prowess. There isn't a RB1 or even 2 for any length of time among the whole bunch. Power is good, but without some speed it's unlikely that a guy can be an NFL player, let alone fantasy relevant.
Yeah I think he took over towards the end of his rookie season. I was super high on him that year but one of my league mates nabbed him before me at the end of the draft.
I'm hoping for Peyton Hillis
Allen was drafted in all my leagues. I doo agree though if you can get Allen you have to do it.
Coaches always talk up their players. This shouldn't change anyone's mind on whether or not Perrine is good or not
I think this is true for this game. Steele, Perine and Ingram will all get a chance to carry the rock. Once Hunt is up to speed I think Hunt gets the first crack to see if he has any juice left.
Yep. I won no shares of any of these guys. If I had to choose straight up for some reason my gut says Hunt.
I think you might be thinking of something else. Steele is nothing like Jacobs size wise. Steele is not tall (6') and is 35 lbs lighter than Jacobs. Jacobs was 6'4" and 265 lbs. These aren't that same type guys.
