Weird how two people can watch the same game and take away different things. He may be an RB10 for fantasy purposes, but I've seen Bell run for Pittsburgh two of the past three years as he's been on my roster, and Bell is just clearly at another level of backfield threat.
I don't think anyone is arguing he's on Bell's level talent-wise. Just that Conner will be able to replace most of his production and be a RB1 while he's the starter.
Yeah, you're right. I didn't think he was arguing that and even conceded he may well be in the upper echelon of backs to own, fantasy-wise. It's just watching the game, even though I hate Bell's tiptoe the line strategy, you just saw where he was a more talented back than Conner, salary depending, of course.
Always tough to play in NE coming off a torn ACL with the Pats doubling Hopkins. Doesn't help that he's running for his life because of his horrid o-line and O'Brien's play calling
Yeah but don't undersell how good Deangelo was. He was the overall RB1 in Carolina for a year.
He did come off the bench and he stunk. 12/23 102 yards 0 TDs, 1 Int and 16 rushing. Ofcourse it was Jacksonville who later learned was an elite D.
Yep. Just looking at his stat lines and it wasn't under the GS for pro-football-reference so I figured I'd chime in.
Oh yeah, I am super pumped about Manny. I wanted him in every league I could get him in and I have said here a few times he will outscore Demaryius. However, week 1 isn't anymore telling than week 3 or week 7 or week 11. In any week, random events happen. We just read more into week 1 because we are excited for football's return and it's the only data point we have. However, in the grand scheme, it's no more of an indicator than any other week.Yep. Just looking at his stat lines and it wasn't under the GS for pro-football-reference so I figured I'd chime in.
Just spitballing. Your point is not to be detracted from. It's way too early to construct a narrative out of people that didn't even have a preseason yet.
New Orleans, by all accounts, should have a good D. The Pats will roll to form around week eight when they have it all sussed out. Etc. Too early other than the immediate QB/WR connections, which is why I should own Hill in every league.
You have Sanders in our music one.
Football is on.
Sanders is better than Thielen IMO and that has nothing to do with anything that happened Sunday.
I own Connor in one dynasty league and even I will say that is nowhere near close to set in stone after one game. Fantasy is riddle with guys who started hot and faded away into obscurity.
today because during last years rookie draft I traded up in the 3rd to grab Connor and one owner ripped me for wasting my pick and reaching (reaching in the 3rd round of a rookie draft, is there such a thing?)
Yeah, that's true, but it's impossible, really, to quantify a QB/receiver connection like AB and Big Ben had/have until after its price point moves, if you know what I mean.
Ok maybe. I don’t claim to be any kind of expert on RB play. I’m just saying you have a guy get 100% of the snaps on a pretty good offense with a pretty good OL and they were letting him do all Bell’s out of the backfield receiving role. Top 10 isn’t even aggressive with that opportunity. The only other guy close to that usage was Zeke and anyone else even close also went in the first round.
Sure, we get hunches or see mini trends and jump on them. That is definitely part of the fun of the game. Hill-Mahomes looks like dynamite combo right now. Just saying that NFL is really unpredictable because everything is small sample size. For every hunch I have had that was right, I have had at least 1 that was dead wrong.
Yeah, I'm really agreeing with you, if you read my later posts. No doubt. Conner is definitely in the RB1 conversation if his situation holds, and in that case, you likely drafted and got some good players around him to soften the blow if Bell comes back. You have a good week or two jump on the opposition. Good work. If you got Bell and Conner late, even better, you're locked in.
While you might be right, a talent like Kelce can’t be ignored he’ll get his share. I’m not ready to throw in the towel after one week. I will keep starting him despite what happened this weekend.
I agree that Fitz is very likely to also have some stinker games coming up. If they stick with Fitz it is most likely more of an indictment of Winston's character/leadership/decision-making than it is any statement on Fitz. The organization may have already made a decision about Winston longterm and if they don't think he's the guy, then that would be the reason we see Fitz keep his job.
Yep. Not in disagreement. I just think, at some point, football has a weird human level where you look for a certain guy to get open and read his mind almost. I think Hill/Mahomes might be right there, same with Sanders/Keenum. You find those connections every so often in fantasy football (think Laurent Robinson and Tony Romo in 2012) and they're nothing to sniff at. The problem, as you astutely point out, is finding the hunch vs. the real connection. The Hill/Mahomes thing seems to have every quantifiable thing going for it, and Sanders/Keenum does, too.
His GM didn't help Winston's situation -- or this situation -- any by announcing before the season that the job was up for grabs. Winston is a better QB than Fitz.
i guess i'll eat my words. where did you pull snap counts from this early? I didn't think those came out until Wednesday or Thursday.
Perhaps this is true. That means there is up to 32% that are correct! Now... which prediction falls into which category?
I would like to decipher what the OP was trying to say here, but I can't figure it out. Anyone know?
I was wondering that, too. Thanks for deciphering. I think DJax is in concussion protocol.
Exactly why these threads end up being pointless. Fantasy foorball is such a week to week hobby its silly to make long term projections based on one week results. Its all matchups and injuries.
I think they've been around long enough to know that the sample size is meaningless.
I love that you started with one. I had thielen last year and chose not to keep him (traded him away, actually) with the goal of getting Sanders this year - which I did
I have 4 bench spots and own Gordon. I normally hate handcuffing but I need to.
Which correlate's to the Chargers being in more games and not dominating with garbage time as much.
they still cant stop the run, or cover tyreek….they wont be the only one who cant do that.
I agree but they'll be able to get to the passer quicker. I hope the Chargers are behind more because that was a fun game to watch.
they always start the season and games slow......the coaches don't have this team prepared.....ever....
