Derrick Henry

Prior to Week 14, Derrick Henry was the 34th-ranked running back in fantasy football despite not missing a game. He was utterly unplayable, to the extent that many (slowly raises hand) advocated dropping him at one point in the season.

Like Bill Murray’s classic character in Scrooged, he seemed irredeemable. Sure, maybe he didn’t fire anyone during the Christmas season or give everyone a towel as their holiday bonus, but fantasy owners had every right to be upset. But whether it was being visited by several ghosts or Dion Lewisslowly becoming less effective, Henry turned everything around in the end. With his preposterous showing in Weeks 14 and 15 and his strong effort in his final fantasy effort of the year, Henry single-handedly dragged many fantasy owners to the championship. This end-of-year-showing will likely again result in him being over-drafted next season and fantasy owners wringing their hands for much of the year.

Jaguars reportedly void Leonard Fournette’s remaining guarantees

"Fournette has the ability to challenge the move, and he’s got 7.1 million reasons to try.

If the void stands, the Jaguars would be able to cut Fournette with no further financial liability, this year or next year. The Jaguars could also try to trade Fournette, since his new team wouldn’t be automatically on the hook for more than $2.9 million in 2019 and more than $4.1 million in 2020."

Just when we thought the 2018 fantasy season was tough to predict.
Can't wait to muddle through the nonsense that will be 2019.

FYI, if I even had Tyler Lockett on the trade block in any of my leagues, with that catch, he is now off. ;)

Fools Gold at 125 yards per game. Wish Broncos held on to him.

If you want a guy that has 2 or 3 decent games then a bunch of nothing go for it. He'll be a FA after the season.

yep. He produced as a bronco too.

fact is ANYONE produces in that rams system. Hence why gurley is in the 150's in value in the nfl. Because a guy off the street puts up similar numbers. And the rams have some of the best metrics for RB's

also avg's 4.5 YPC for his carreer, cant be awful

CJ is a polished turd, the proverbial "lipsticked pig", the Rams coaching staff gets blood from turnips, bottom line. Goff was crap, even Gurley was an afterthought until the big switch. Its not surprising that CJ did well. I may not like him, but the reason I don't like him is because he was simply mediocre at everything, not great at anything. You stick a decent, competent, athlete in there, you're getting results.
