Nice find sp. I am a Williams believer.

oh i know u are

Well, looks like I have to pit Gordon on my DND?

perhaps, his usage is locked in, his numbers are pretty crappy, just a ton of touches and touchdowns last year

 

[Stomp]

Gordon was a 1st down and TD monster last year he's pretty safe pick imo. 82 1st downs tied for 6th most in only 13 games(11 starts).

Not buying Williams. Gimme Oliver if Gordon gets injured. If Gordon stays healthy, I don't see a Buffalo-mirrored attack. Not debating the fact Gordon seems to be a TD dependent type RB, but Andre Williams? Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it.

not sure who this Dan Shultz is, but I think he makes a good point

agree his ypc both season is awful, i don't but williams. i buy if gordon wasn't a round 1 pick he'd be benched

danny wood head did ok with that line prior to injury

I'll be surprised if Andre Williams makes the roster in LA.

Danny Woodhead had 19 carries before he got injured. Great sample size, why did the chargers let him go to baltimore??

And the point about the OL was that the guys they had last season aren't even replacement level players - NO ONE has brought them in yet, and they are FAs.

Look at the list of RBs that get called out for being stuffed behind the line of scrimmage - I'd take any of them on my fantasy team - if you are going to give some reasons why NOT to draft someone, find some stats that don't put them in such good company.
McCoy - Freeman - Ajayi - Hyde all had good years, and I would've been happy with any of them on my teams last year. Bad case to make - especially with Freeman and Hyde on the list, where they were operating in balanced/pass heavy attacks, not run heavy like Shady and Ajayi.

Writer is grasping at straws and down-playing what looks like a RB that just took a season to learn how to play as a pro.
People expect way too much out of rookies.

ajayi stats sans those monster games were pretty bad...

where would you draft this WR based off of last year's stats:
55rec, 796yds, 4TD

Spoiler: Spoiler

That's Julio Jones, after you take away those 3 monster games last year. You can literally do that to almost every single fantasy player.

we're not gonna look at that, because i'm talking about on a per game basis. just like the you stay. you can skew numbers all u want to fit your needs, or mine

btw i didn't even click the spoiler i hope u realized i was criticizing myself as well

Yup, was starting to reply earlier, then i realized it.
All good

i personally think theirs opinions on all guys, and we all have them, which is why trades r very tough in dynasty. I think we all look at numbers differently.....and skew them to our thoughts.
