Ravens WR Rashod Bateman (foot) will undergo season-ending Lisfranc surgery.​

Duvernay is already the #20 WR in FF.

Looking promising for him and Likely ROS.

 

[wilwhite]

Saints coach Dennis Allen said that Michael Thomas (toe) will have surgery and will go on injured reserve.​

Allen told reporters that he does not anticipate Thomas playing again this season.

That probably helps Thomas owners TBH.

 

[Shanemansj13]

It's too bad I suck in this money league bc very early in the year I traded Michael Thomas & Damien Harris for DJ Moore and Justin Herbert.

 

[TREFF]

That probably helps Thomas owners TBH.

no doubts, the dude should've been on IR a year ago plus and never removed. His owners have been carrying dead weight for a LONG time

Duvernay is already the #20 WR in FF.

Looking promising for him and Likely ROS.

Demarcus Robinson played last week over DoubleD when BAL ran 22 personnel/only had 1WR on the field, for whatever that's worth

20? You sure Clark? Full ppr he's in the 30-ish area, 3 points away from 40-ish, plus many of the WR's around him have 7 games played, he's got 8.

His FP/G of 10.6-ish puts him in the 40-ish area.

Standard he's a bit better, points per game of 8.3 place him in the lower 30's


Just ain't gonna trust a Raven WR.

 

[Chef99]

Yep, put Pollard down.

It's the Cowboys way!

Cowboys RBs coach Skip Peete believes Tony Pollard maxes out at 30 weekly plays.​

Peete made assertion when waxing poetic about Ezekiel Elliott, the favorite activity for any coach or front office member employed by the Cowboys. "(Pollard) played a total of 30 plays (in Week 8), and I think that's his max — as far as total play count — because then the juice doesn't become the same and he's not as quick, not as fast," Peete claimed. The Cowboys have certainly put their money where there mouth is in that regard. Pollard has never reached 20 touches in a game, and has reached 15 only eight times in four years. Provided Zeke's knee is healthy, we would expect the same old touch delineation when the Cowboys come off bye in Week 10.

Standard and season total (so yeah, the 8-games-played advantage).

He boosts his production with some rushing and return numbers.

I'm actually on board with this. Pollard is so efficient and explosive on his touches, which I think is the real issue. Pollard and Zeke should split snaps imo but more RB plays should be called for Pollard, if that makes sense.

The real kicker in this situation is that Zeke gets RZ and Pollard gets the passing work, so they're even splitting the valuable touches for fantasy

I actually think it's a good tandem as well. Kinda reminds me of Csonka and Kiick from way back when. What annoys me is giving Pollard backhanded compliments because this is how Jerry wants it.

that game vs Chicago made things very difficult... Pollard had a huge game... but lots of that was because they faced a helpless bears defense....

also, beware of any backup... when they start, they are often the only game in town... so their usage is generally bigger than the starter's ever was...

It would be silly and naive to believe that when Zeke comes back they would not use some type of RBC near 50/50...

Well we will see how much they truly value him at the end of the year because Pollard will be a free agent.

which is more reason to keep Zeke happy... he's there for a while!!!

With a lot more tread left on the tires. Check out his carry history, even in college. @averagejoe can you take a look at this if you get a moment?

Edit: even more interesting would be a comparison of Zeke's carries as opposed to Pollard. As far as age goes, they are, what? A year apart?

Kind of just skimming over this dialogue...
Hope this is what youre looking for?

Zeke has 2053 touches in 95 NFL games for 21.6 touches per game.
He had 658 touches at Ohio State in 35 games for 18.5 touches per game.

Pollard has 492 touches in 54 NFL games for 9.1 touches per game.
He had 243 touches at Memphis in 40 games for 6.0 touches per game.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. Thank you, Joe!

Take what you can get from him this year, this coming offseason, he's likely in jail, and then probably suspended to the point where he'll be 30+ b4 he can come back

Well if he's in jail then I agree. If he's not, then there's no way the NFL is going to suspend him more than the 8 games Kareem Hunt got or the 11 games Deshaun Watson got.

Frank Reich Canned today.
Not sure what they expect with a horrid line, a hurt RB who was obviously supposed to be the entire offense, and a burnt out QB/crappy backup QB.

Reich will easily find a team to coach next year if he wants
