Spinoff from another thread where I was taking about DeWilliams dominating the Playoffs.
He was great...doing what he should (and more) against bad defenses and doing just fine (sometimes thru the receiving game) against tougher defenses. But he started slowly (not sure about his total carries and YPC in first 6 game or so).
As the season moved on, he mostly dominated poor defenses (KC, OAK, NO, ARI, DET, DEN) on a team that completely relied on the running game. I still think there's something potentially wrong with Delhomme.
Anyways, exceptions include the Monday Night game against TB and the NYG game.
The other odd thing is that his two monster games were a result of Jon Stewart sitting out for a few quarters after getting dizzy or some sort of head injury (GB and NYG) and DeAngelo getting a couple extra 1 yard TD dives in those games as a result (going from a great 2 TD game to monster 4 TD game).
So, where do you take him next year? CAR and John Fox will 1) Run first 2) be loyal to him as his vet RB for sure, 3) and my guess is that Jon Stewart will continue to be banged up, giving DeAngelo great chances to reproduce games like those from this week. I think if you can grab DeAngelo in the 1st round and Jon Stewart around 5 or 6, you'll have a great RB1 regardless.
I think he's possibly a top 3 RB, in standard and PPR leagues, possibly mixed in with ADP, MTurner, Forte, Jacobs, MJD, Lynch, Westbrook, Portis, LT?, SSlaton?, MBIII, Gore, ChJohnson.
