Up to 336 followers now for my so-called "girls basketball blog", more than double what I had last year at this time. Even made a trip to Cincy this July to support the blog.

Haters keep on hating... It works.

A lot of losers out there

Ezekiel Elliott one year deal with the Patriots.

Just reading over some things:

Garrett got the best of Mailata-what’s new
Goedert couldn’t be stopped
Browns defense looked really good
Debut of Shelby Harris
3 or 4 Browns either got hurt or were sick. Only serious one was Conklin-possible concussion

I’m not seeing anything where the Browns dominated though…

For once in my life, I think the Browns DLine can be great this year.

Sorry brother. I always seem to think Detroit with you. I won’t make this error again. Mea Culpa.

I didn’t see dominated either. I’m just seeing multiple Eagles beat guys say that the Browns got the better of the team play. Also read that defenses seemed to be ahead of the offenses.

This seems to indicate that Breece Hall isn't going to be ready for the season and they will ease him back. Too bad for Abanikanda, who looked good this weekend and was working his way up the depth chart.

Curious to see how much of this deal (and Elliott's with the Pats) are incentives.

I know better than to take a Patriot rb but I ended up with Stevenson on a team nonetheless. I have Cook too but those situations generally aren’t good.

IMO, Stevenson will likely be near last year's production level when Harris was sharing carries with him. Elliott takes over that role if he's effective.

I could see Elliott poaching some goal line chances, Stevenson is the better back though. Belichek is known for not being too dependent on any one person though, other than the qb.

In 11 games, Harris had 462 yards (4.4 ypc) and 3 TDs, plus 17-97 receiving. Project that to 17 games and it would be 714 yards, 5 TDs, and 26-150. Elliott's numbers in 15 games last season were 876 yards (3.8 ypc) and 12 TD,s plus 17-92 receiving. For 17 games, that's 993 yards and 14 TDs, plus 19-105.

Elliott's new role is likely Harris' old role IMO. Elliott did get about 5 more carries per game than Harris, but that could be just a factor of the Cowboys offense being better. Both Pollard and Stevenson were around 12 carries per game.

It’s pretty likely I will be playing Cook over Stevenson now, a lot of weeks anyway

I'm assuming Dalvin, but it's a reasonable question? Depends on Hall's availability I guess.

I won my 16 team keeper league with committee backs last year (Stevenson, Jamal Williams, Swift, Javonte-DL), so all is not lost.

Yeah I just usually stay away from those situations but not this year I guess. I do have Mccaffrey so that’s one easy start every week.

Committees are more and more prevalent every year. The RBs still on the market (or holding out) only complicate that further. I have a draft coming up right after Labor Day and plan to go double hero RB (two RBs early, probably rounds 1 and 2 unless someone slides that I can't pass up). With the Hall and Stevenson situations even more complicated now, I want reliable options in place early.
