Team pays RB

Half of fantasy Twitter: looks like they're going to lighten his load now that they've paid him, they want to protect their investment

Other half: wheels up baby!!! They're gonna run him into the ground these next 2 seasons to get their money's worth

I'm starting to lean into the viewpoint of the wheels up side. We're seeing the careers wind down from a generational RB class ('17), and i think the ones still atop a depth chart will continue to get fed until the wheels fall off

Thoughts?

Agreed.
RB's may have finally begun being valued in terms in contract $$.. but it's still a known short term investment, so they're going to get whatever they can, for a long as they can, and then they'll invest in the next short term answer.

RE: Mixon- you miss 3 games and still are a solid RB2 by end of the year rankings? you did well young man
Even more impressive for Kamara/Taylor

Just for S's & G's-

Niners record with CMAC vs without '24
with 2-2
without - 4-9

Saints record with Kamara vs without
with 5-9
without 0-3

Colts record with Taylor vs without
with - 6-8
without- 2-1

Texans record with Mixon vs without
with - 9-5
without - 1-2

I don't think there is any really apparent pattern, but an interesting thing to look up

Fantasy points per game:
Kamara RB5
Taylor RB7
Jacobs & Mixon tied RB8
Barkley RB1

Outside of CMC injury, looks like every team that ponied up cash for a RB that they like for their system got their moneys worth
