Same in a few leagues where I have RB depth issues or bye week issues and I just need a guy that's going to get 10-15 touches, who cares what yds/TDs come with that, lol

if things keep trending towards this 3+ back committee crap, we may have to being considering Point per carry or point per touch scoring systems as a new norm

Yeah he is definitely going to get touches unless of course he gets hurt as well. Felton just isn't a RB/WR type that will get a lot of carries. I have a feeling he will used in different ways but Johnson should be the workhorse. The closer the game, the more carries

Vikings' Kene Nwangwu: Activated from IR​

Rotowire OCT 19, 2021
Nwangwu (knee) was activated from injured reserve Tuesday.
Nwangwu was designated to return to practice in late September and the team clearly feels he looks good enough to rejoin the active roster. The Vikings released Ameer Abdullah in a corresponding move, leaving Nwangwu as the third-string running back behind Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison

Coach Bruce Arians "laughed at the idea" of the Bucs potentially trading Ronald Jones.​

Jones is in the final year of his rookie contract and obviously has no future in the organization beyond this season, but he does represent experienced depth for a Bucs team looking to make another run at the Super Bowl. That's some value. But Jones' role has evaporated, functioning only as Leonard Fournette's breather back. Jones is averaging a mere five carries per game at 3.8 yards a pop. Jones would need a Fournette injury to be of any value in fantasy.


well the Rotoworld commentary dude has it backwards again..Arians didn't laugh as in it's dumb to think they'd trade him..he laughed because he knows he wouldn't find a trade partner that would give jack sqwat for him

I’ve never understood the disrespect Jones gets. He had back to back seasons over 1000 yards from scrimmage, in his second and third year. And averaged over 5/carry last year.


I wouldn’t trade him if I were Tampa either. Prolly isn’t a backfield in the league right now with better depth. (Like right now, today now.)

As long as everybody’s in the same boat it doesn’t really matter. And that’s from an owner stuck with the Texans RBs.

1000 yards from scrimmage is no claim to fame. 40+ players did it in 2020, 50+ in 2019, 40+ in 2018.

I do agree though he's worth a helluvalot more as depth in TB than anything they could get for him

How many RBs did it in both 19 and 20?(I don’t know if that’s easy to sort or not, if it is…)

Not it won't sort, not even by position, let alone back to back, oh well, I can count .....by my count, and I might have missed one or two..but 10 did it both years.
Overall in 20, 20 RB's hit 1K, 25 in '19.

I mean sure, it's an accomplishment, it's just not something that carries a TON of weight, as more than half the league has a RB who does it every year, whether its the same guy, or a new guy (the new guys actually help prove its even less of an accomplishment, suggesting that pretty much anyone can do it as long as the play a full slate of games) with 17 games to accrue stats, I'm sure that number will be even bigger this year.

Is Damien Williams playing this week? Sounds like he is still under Covid protocol to me

Browns injuries:
Starting QB
Top 2 RB's
Top 2 WR's
Starting OT's
Best LB
Starting DT's
#2 CB and all the CB's are injury prone

Brutal. Hope to see them healthy in a few weeks prior to playing the Steelers... even though they probably could be less than 50% and still handle the Steelers with ease

I doubt it man. Have you seen the defense? A goldfish could teach defense better than Joe Woods

Yea that defense is underachieving badly. Too much talent to be that porous.

Wow, back to back weeks, Denver screws the pooch. Raiders change coaches midweek, they beat the Broncos..Cleveland loses their 2 headed monster RB, their starting QB and they beat the Broncos.

I do believe some coaches will be losing their jobs soon in Denver.

Hey man, it’s not their fault they faced King Henry 2.0 shielding the rock for 170 total yards lol

Well, they did their part, and then some, to make him look that good

Anyone hear anything about a timeline for Montgomery?

 

[wilwhite]

Anyone hear anything about a timeline for Montgomery?

First game he can come off IR for would be Halloween, but the expectation was 4-5 weeks, which would be Week 9 at the earliest. With a Week 10 bye the smart thing would be to just keep him on ice until Week 11.
