Williams was serviceable with the Dolphins. This year’s production is so much worse than his Dolphin years, his 2018 year, worse than West and Ware. My point was that, prior to last year, he was a JAG. After his hot streak, he was going as high as late 2nd/early 3rd round at points this offseason. I don’t ever remember Ware or West ever commanding as high a draft cost. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheWinz 2,923 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 To this point, he has been totally outplayed by Shady. Sadly for FF, Damien & Shady are siphoning any value from each other. They have taken turns getting 2 touches in the past 2 weeks. Can't trust either at the moment, but if I had to choose one, it would be Shady. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To counter that, 3.6 ish ypc for the Dolphins should translate into something serviceable in what appears to be a much better situation. He may be not that good, but neither were Ware or West, and they put up stats in this system. The bull case for Damien was never that he was going to be the next Jamaal Charles or Priest Holmes or even Thomas Jones. It was always that he was serviceable enough to produce in this system. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But I’m not starting him next week either Yeah the line looks bad against the run. Shady got stuffed all night too with the exception of 2 runs, 1 was him flashing the old shady and making something out of nothing and the second was a wide open hole up the middle. The rest looked just like it did for DWill. I never did (and still don’t) have high expectations for DWill, but I’ve been holding on to the possibility of the one big run a game or 1 wheelhouse route like in the preseason to come to fruition. It just hasn’t yet. That’s all still very possible once Mahomes gets healthy but he will likely be sitting on my bench when it does. He’s just doing to much damage to my starting line each week to continue to hold out hope. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Did reasonably well with fresh legs end of last year If they need someone for carries (and don't want to give them to Shady/Darrel), they'd be better off signing Spencer Ware for that. The guy he reminds me of is Ty Montgomery. Guys with terrible vision and have a complete lack of instincts running the football but can provide help in a pinch as pass down back.

Chaka 6,241 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I drafted him expecting 12-15 opportunities/game and technically he has hit that with 60 oops in 5 games. But week 1 was 19 rushes + targets and McCoy had been with the team less than a week. In his last 4 games, with his injury and the full integration of McCoy into the offense, he has 10.25 opps/game. In that offense maybe that would be enough. But...in the three games since his return he has 8.333 opps/game. Darrell seems to be a low opportunity guy with Damien in the lineup with 6 opportunities in 4 games played together, all of which came over the last two games. Ooof...so what is the reality here? I think we can all agree that week 1's 19 opps was an outlier. Can we say the same about 2 opps and in week 6? Probably. Or does he eventually get the opportunity to supplant Damien? So, can we expect 13 touches/game going forward (removing both outliers)? More with Mahomes out? They couldn't possibly be less efficient touches than they have been. What do you do with this guy?

Yeah, ESPN has a calculation by Mike Clay about potential fantasy points, which takes into account situation and number of touches. Damien is constantly underperforming his supposed fantasy points target, which they say is good because volume breeds points and he'll supposedly positively regress to the mean of replacement efficiency. So there's that sort of potential value. Thing is: What if he's just not very good? I'm just not seeing it right now and benches are really short in the league I have him.

Well, say you have about four or five spots allotted for RBs and you choose, in PPR, to hold James White, Josh Jacobs, LeSean McCoy, and Kareem Hunt before you have to bid on him. In your IR spot you have Guice. That's where I find myself. I'd gladly give up D. Williams for two weeks' production -- as it stands -- for Hunt in Week Ten. That's just what I'm doing. YMMV.

In your IR spot you have Guice. That's where I find myself. I'd gladly give up D. Williams for two weeks' production -- as it stands -- for Hunt in Week Ten. That's just what I'm doing. YMMV. I personally don't really love Damien's game. I dont know man, Hunt? I get both are risky but you have no idea what is going on in Cleveland and Chubb is doing pretty well. Thats a tough call. I would wait one week especially since LM has been gimpy this year. Like I said I could see Moore having a ton of drop off passes to both shady and DW. I would just wait a week if at all possible. But damn Hunt is the total wildcard Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm fully aware of running headlong into Chubb's excellence. It's a risk. A quick explanation: In that league, we have eleven starters, five bench spots, one IR. You need (or want) to hold three quarterbacks because it's Superflex. It's start 3 WR, so you'd better have two extra for byes. That leaves you with two RB spots, or one RB and one flex, which is where I find myself. So you're playing almost everybody and you want your lottery tickets to be lottery tickets. Plus, KC has their bye in Week 12, so holding McCoy and Williams is even tougher with that short bench. You'll have to drop somebody to field a lineup. It's really that leagues are highly individualized, which is why I bolded what I bolded in tricky92's statement. Depends on size/composition of league and bench Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IheartGuinness 450 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Thinking about dropping him for Jamaal Williams, for what it's worth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Meaning Williams. Standard league though. I just couldn't justify holding him any longer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
