I'll take Williams and Sanders and the long shot Blue over Dowdle, Vaughn and the 'cooked' Cook and Zeke- not by much..I mean it's still shit..but it ain't worse

Dowdle had 4 top 10 weeks, you getting that from Javonte and Sanders at this stage?

Every bit as possibly as getting it from him, yes. I think it says more about the entire field having 4 bad weeks than it does him being anything.

Treff is just never going to see it the way we do with Dowdle last year Monkey. I'll bet he was better than you think he was Treff.

235 carries
1079 yards rushing
4.6 yards per carry
39 receptions
249 yards receiving
5 total touchdowns (not his fault the offense couldn't get in scoring position and when they did they trotted out the washed up Zeke)

186.3 fantasy points in half PPR which ranked 22nd
Even if you go by fantasy points per game it was 11.64 which ranked 25th

Javonte Williams was 32nd in total fantasy points (133.85) and 42nd in fantasy points per game (7.87) and he averaged 3.7 yards per carry and that was with a better offensive line in every aspect of blocking.

The Dallas offensive line should be improved over last year, and the addition of Pickens is going to open things up. Previous year's stats may not tell you a lot about what will happen next year (case in point Dowdle in 2023).

The big questions are whether Javonte was still hampered by his injury last year, and how Blue and Mafah develop. I don't think either of those two guys are steals; they were drafted about in the right place. So barring an injury setback I think Javonte with his solid pass-pro chops will dominate snaps early on - all three of the other guys seem to suck at pass protection. Schottenheimer wants to use a lot of play-action which is easy to ID if the guy on the field for play-action is different than the guy on the field for the rushing plays.

With the news as it is now - in May - I would pencil Javonte in for slightly better numbers than Dowdle last year - slightly fewer rushing yards, more receptions and receiving yards, and similar TDs.

I think the guy that averaged 3.7 yards per carry with a better offensive line last year and couldn't outplay Jaleel McLaughlin or Audric Estime will be lucky to still have a job in November. But then again I don't own him in Old School either

I bet he averages over 70 yards from scrimmage, over three receptions, and over a third of a TD a game through the first two months.

I know that won't blow anybody's socks off, but that's solid flex territory - and I think that's his floor.

Thats 1190 yards, 50 receptions and lets say 6tds over a season. Hes more than a flex

Mid-RB2 numbers, slightly better than Dowdle last year

Yeah exactly. I mean. Thats a guy thats star-table on almost every roster

 

[TREFF]

Well I'm not gonna try to hard to defend either one if em, cuz I think they both suck donkey balls.

But I can say this..Jav. Williams has had much more success in this league than Dowdle ever will

Agree with your first point, but Dowdle did it last year and Javonte did it 4yrs ago

 

[TREFF]

And this year one is currently listed as #1 on an NFL depth chart, and the other is a back up to Chubba Hubbard

And they entered the league together. Where was he at for the first three?

If he plays every game, which few do. 9 ppg in standard scoring. It would put him outside the top 24 RBs. But I think he has the chance to outperform that and be a serviceable RB2 - especially early in the season as the rookies develop.

Valid point there sir. I wasnt thinking standard scoring to be honest. So very fair point. Id be wrong on that point. Ill also admit that for some reason I was thinking his yfs was just rushing yards only then he was still grabbing 50 catches….basically I cant multitask while posting

Aaron Jones 2024, standard scoring:
1138rush yds, 51rec, 7 total TDs - pretty much the exact stat line being discussed

RB20 in pts/game, RB16 in total points

Have to be projecting a significant bump in rushing production for the league in general, 2yrs in a row, if 11.2 pts/gm is no longer top 24
