I would not do it but I would not call it crazy either, depends on your team needs.
After what I saw on Sunday, what stacy showed us last season was a anomaly. So yeah I would.
my buddy was considering it...actually he knew I was going to grab him and wanted to trade me Stacy for Mason and I declined.
no doubt and you can't play him but to me this could be where he really has a chance to shine. The guys ahead of him are more plodding and likely won't be able to make their own holes and will likely get bottled up. If he can come in and show some burst and make something from nothing on a couple plays who knows what will happen.
I think Austin's presence actually helps the traditional running game. Teams will have to respect the jet/fly sweep which will loosen up the box.
I drafted Stacy and just dropped him for Mason. Stacy looks pathetic with the ball in his hands.....great blocker, but nothing more. Mason seems to have a real strong burst, and playmaking abilities. I don't think he is going to be the bellcow, but I believe with 10-12 touches per game, he can be a shot in the arm to your fantasy squad.
Seriously. That seems like a really dumb, knee-jerk reaction. I've got all three in a couple leagues with large benches (didn't draft them all, though). Personally, I still like Stacy the best, but feel like he's getting the worst play calls. Always very predictable runs between the tackles against stacked boxes. I watched all five runs by Mason and nothing really special to see there from that small sample size. On his long run, he wasn't even touched for 12+ yards. It's not like he had to make someone miss, either. Just followed the hole which was almost straight ahead. That being said, Stacy is sticking a little too strictly to the play. He had at least one where he could've gone outside instead of following his blocker that would've been a nice gain.
Based on my luck with rbs this year, I'll predict a robust 4 for 14.
i wish i had the room for all 3 but i dont ,and Stacy looks the worst of the 3. He isnt playing with the same fire he had last season . Im confident that Cunningham will be getting more touches going forward and eventually Mason will be used quite a bit. Stacy just needs to get his head out of his ### and play like he means it. He`s still sitting on waivers as of today,nobody wants him.
Through six weeks, I've seen him carry the ball 5 times and get blown up in protection once. So yeah, nothing has changed my mind.
Stacy was dropped for Mason in my 12-teamer. It's been FCFS for well over 24 hours now and nobody has touched him.
I have both, and it's Mason IMO. He has the potential to earn the majority of carries by the later part of the season without injury to the other RBs around him. Randle will require an injury to Murray and even then many predict he will get the early down work, but still be sharing with Dunbar in some capacity. If you could be certain of a Murray injury I would say Randle, but since we can not I would go Mason.
I think it depends on your roster. Randell only has a chance to be a starter if Murray gets hurt while Mason's situation is more fluid. If Murray gets hurt it's definitely Randell but what are the chances of that. To me, you only take a Randell if you are pretty set at RB but looking for a lottery ticket while you take a Mason if your looking for a starter to emerge.
Haha, are you basing this on 5 carries from Mason? You've got most of a season of Stacy forcing missed tackles and getting YAC and you are going to get excited about 1 well blocked run from Mason?? Over reaction. Knowing this is Jeff Fisher, I am not really confident about anyone at this point, but I'm sure not dropping Stacy before Mason in redraft this year after Mason got blown up in pass pro.BustedKnuckles said:
sorry but he's got a really good burst and Stacy does not and when you have a burst you can exploit holes, even if they are there for a moment. I'm sure that's not the only hole that was opened the entire year if it was Mason was incredibly lucky that they opened the only decent hole the entire year on his first career carry and had a longer run than Stacy/Cunningham had all year.FF Ninja said:
Personally I prefer Mason over both. I think the Pats will be a heavy dose of Vereen and then a committee/hot hand approach with Bolden, Gray and White. Even if you luck out and pick the right one, what are the chances that he will be the every week starter and be reliable?
Love Mason. LOVE
I'm willing to wait or exchange him for a different lotto ticket if he doesn't work out. I feel Sims will be leading some sort of committee in Tampa when he's healthy. It feels good to get rid of dead weight off my team.
