He has a better chance of being the long term option. Although, looking at my list, I should have Gaskin higher, if that is my criteria.
I totally agree. Some folks are going to be sad when the stats are in.The more I think about it I have a hard time believing Freeman is A) going to be healthy and B) going to secure the lions share of touches over David. C) Going to be productive in that offense.
With that in mind, my list is now Gibson, Kelley, Davis, McKinnon, Gaskin, Freeman, Lewis. I’m debating swapping Gaskin and McKinnon.He has a better chance of being the long term option. Although, looking at my list, I should have Gaskin higher, if that is my criteria.
A & C are legitimate concerns. Dion Lewis is a scrub though, and Gallman is even worseThe more I think about it I have a hard time believing Freeman is A) going to be healthy and B) going to secure the lions share of touches over David. C) Going to be productive in that offense.
I think u have to take him is the top priority. Only one with guaranteed semi workhorse potential....yeah it’s a risk....A & C are legitimate concerns. Dion Lewis is a scrub though, and Gallman is even worse
Nope. Must just be for RomeoIs Gibson in this? I must have missed him. He would be at the top, probably.
I think I still like Kelley’s value better. And maybe even Mike Davis.I think u have to take him is the top priority. Only one with guaranteed semi workhorse potential....yeah it’s a risk....
Weren't you big on Justin Jackson at some point? I'm guessing it's lack of faith in Ekeler?I think I still like Kelley’s value better. And even Mike Davis.
Freeman looks like he will disappoint. And I don’t think the Giants will be able to develop much of a running game with that O-line. I think the Giants will be playing from behind & passing a lot this year. I think Lewis will be that passing down guy at first.
I was... but that is all but extinguished now that Kelley has emerged. Jackson was supposed to be that guy but it was clear that Kelley was the better player. Nothing against EhkelerWeren't you big on Justin Jackson at some point? I'm guessing it's lack of faith in Ekeler?
But he's the back up....and not the only one, isn't it better to go with someone promoted to starter due to injury? Jackson is still their and Ekeler is the pass catching back and starter and Kelley average was 2.8 which sucks donkey dick.I was... but that is all but extinguished now that Kelley has emerged.

Funny how quickly offseason outlooks can change.
Even so, Kelley is still getting the volume. He's been a solid contributor for 2 straight games. I'd like to see a larger sample size to know exactly what they are doing with those backs, but seeing the FF output makes him a pretty safe bet. It's a 2-way RBBC with Ekeler at the moment, and Kelley just keeps proving that he belongs. Jackson was completely phased out last week (declared inactive even). Could have been due to the gameplan but it was a good sign for Kelley.But he's the back up....and not the only one, isn't it better to go with someone promoted to starter due to injury?

I ended up with Davis. Might flex start him this week.Well I ended up with Gibson and Gaskin. McKinnon, Lewis, and Freeman are still sitting in FA.
I’m thinking I screwed up by not taking Davis but he’s a 3-4 week option. With me losing Barkley I decided to roll the dice and hope one of the two I took will continue to trend into their team’s RB1.I ended up with Davis. Might flex start him this week.
Yep. Definitely buys me time to find a better replacement. I'm hoping Davis does well with the starting role. Enough so that I can package some sort of trade to get a better long term option. If not, I'll be panning the waiver wire for gold each week.I’m thinking I screwed up by not taking Davis but he’s a 3-4 week option.

Yes in theory the better option is someone promoted to starter. But there are a LOT of red flags in regards to Freeman. Injury history, Giants O-line, schedule, not a lot of practice with this team, not going to be the every down guy (coach & GM both called him a rotational piece). It's shaping up to be some sort of RBBC for the near future. It may take a month or more before he gets the bulk of the work.
I simply think that Kelley has the better value right now AND in the future, whereas Freeman looks like he will take some time to develop. Hard to say how this will shake out.
