Interesting....according to fantasypros:

1) Hall
2) Walker
3) Cook
4) R.White
5) Pearce
6) Spiller
7) Z.White
8) Robinson
9) Algeier
10) Davis-Price

I could easily see him outproducing the next 4 guys on the list to crack into the top 5 - I don't think Z.White and Pearce have a shot in hell at being anything great in year 1. Robinson has to beat out Gibson and McKissic soaks up passing downs, Spiller has to eat significantly into Ekeler, even Cook and R.White could be leapfrogged if they don't get decent usage and Algeier does.

I think my biggest counter point to your prediction is that the Falcon offense keeps getting better as the year goes on. Not so sure Mariota and/or Ridder is better than Ryan. And its not like Patterson can be considered your typical "old" RB, since he's not really a RB and didn't see the usage or wear and tear that other 30yr old RBs have seen so he could have enough left in the tank to hold off Algeier.

Also, what does being in the top 5 for rookie RBs even get you? I'm guessing around 8-10pts a game which is RB3/4 territory. I'd bet good money you have someone on your bench that's a better flex play than that in a 12tm league
Analysts are really high on Cook, but for what? To take Moss' place? Third down role? I'll put my money on Singletary. I think a lot of people missed how impressive he was once he was given the rock.

Well... then let's say Allgeier will be a top-30 RB.

12 team league, that's your weekly RB2 at worst.

Thinking Think GIF by Rodney Dangerfield


12tm league....RB30 = a weekly RB2....that math does not check out, unless you meant to say 'at best' vs 'at worst'

last year's half ppr RB30 overall was also a rookie, and he gave you 5 weeks scoring over 10pts and 4 weeks scoring less than 4pts (Carter)
2020's RB30 (Edmonds) was better, as he did have 7 games in double digits, but also had 6 games under 6pts

really put yourself behind the 8-ball if you're starting the RB30 in your RB2 spot every week

I'd wager Pierce out produces RoJo this season.

What do you have in mind, cause I'd take that in a heartbeat but I already have a rookie RB wager out there with Treff for this season on R.White vs Spiller

is there a Texans blogger with no connection to the team hyping up Pierce this summer that I missed? ;)

How about we bet a draft pick in D2 ? I like Pierce as a runner and I think he can win the starting job fairly quickly with the Texans. So how high do you want to go? We both own our first and third, you pick.

Any injury stipulations?

Wellllllllllll... every RB has at least a bye week, so you in a 14-week season you need minimum 2.2 RBs to fill two spots... add in two injury weeks per RB and you're at 2.5.

2.5 x 12 = 30!

Voilà!

So what's the wager? We can bet picks in D2 as follows:
1) bet our first round picks
2) bet our third round picks
3) bet both of them

I'm game for any of them.

Want to understand all parameters here, I'm a nerd.

Total NFL regular season or D2 regular season?

To be fair and to give my conscience a break I feel I need to let you know if you take this bet I'll crush you like a grape stepped on by a Walmart shopper. It's on you now. Total points , regular season D2
