That’s just off the top of my head. Plenty more. RBs have been a nightmare this year.

Yes. I'm actually shocked I was able to take Gordon at #8 (10 man league)... was wondering wtf my group was doing. Gurley and Kamara should've been #1/2 and while Gurley went #1 Kamara lasted until #6... I was biting my nails on the 6th overall selection and was annoyed when Kamara was taken 2 picks before mine. If I could've somehow gotten Karama + Gordon (no way Gordon would've been available at 13 but still) I would've thrown my dick on the table and started taking outside bets on winning the league.

What I’m saying is his fantasy numbers are great, because he has a huge workload.

Last year his workload was far less and he was much more efficient per touch.

His fantasy numbers are great because he is a top 5 WR who also gets 10-15 carries a game. You can't evaluate Kamara the way you would a normal RB. He is a truly unique player.

That has zero to do with efficiency just backs up the volume idea

His ypc going into last week was sub 4

From ESPN



So 4.9, not as gaudy as some ,but not bad. Better then Gurleys

like i said going into last week sub 4 ypc, hes skewed greatly by this last week rushing wise

I won’t kick him off my roster. With just a few games stats are going to vary a lot. Do the same for Gurley, I’m guessing you’ll see the same. If I was doing a late draft and had the 1.1 pick, I’d draft Kamara in a heartbeat.

pretty good numbers, higher ypc, and y/r

im not saying cut him i think you guys are missing my point

 

[SmokingMonkey]

James White - knew he had a role, but damn, he's getting all the RB TDs, save some for Sony! (already 9rec at halftime too)

too bad i had a few shares of Michel and Burkhead, but none on White

 

[HaroldSeattle]

Chris Hogan has been a big disappointment for me.

The timing was prefect.

 

[broncosmitty]

Kamara. Hear me out. He’s a fantasy stud. But his actual numbers haven’t been tht great. Huge volume. Complete opposite of last year’s efficiency

He's the #1 scoring player in PPR. Aside from Mahomes.


The next non-QB is 30 points back.

Ahhhh

That'll change with Ingram back.

 

[broncosmitty]

Wilson, Brady, Rodgers to an extent at QB

ODB is a massive flop for WR

ODB is 4th in receptions. And 16th in yards.


Part of why I'm not into standard scoring.

Part of my value for Kamara is tied to the fact that he plays on N'Orleans.
I get what your saying.
Kind of like a fantasy owner isn't drafting Russel Wilson or Cam Newton because they're great passing QB.

right, but last year, kamara was great with his touches

agree, but if his efficiency stays the same, then hes gonna drop alot

 

[averagejoe]

on a personal note, I have 2 disappointments. Crabtree is one. The other is Demaryius. DT had nearly 1K with a rotating hot mess at QB last year. While I had my reservations about Keenum, I still reasoned that he'd be as good if not better than the trio of Siemian/Oz/Lynch.

 

[TKOSpikes]

I'm surprised that a 20 year old middle linebacker hasn't come off the field. Kid is gonna be great.

Big test this week with Dion Lewis running routes out of the backfield.

 

[Trudem]

Crabby has let alot of people down.

I dont know what to say about DT. Keenum hasnt been bad but Sanders is still eating.
