RB value This year

[SteelersPride]

lol see, you have nothing, before vereen and ridley were drafted fairly highly..........so yeah, he wanted to use them........theres nothing left there

 

[Chef99]

nope learned from past experience go ahead and draft him then watch Bellichick screw your season when he randomly sits him week 14 without notice just as the fantasy playoffs start

Never trust a BBRB. I grabbed James White with a late pick in the dynasty league because he looks to be the frontrunner to take Vereen's role. But it's pretty much a crapshoot pick.

This thread got going quick

and both of them got randomly benched a lot really anytime a RB fumbles in his system he has a chance of being benched and possibly missing games depending on BB's mood

 

[SteelersPride]

that was really just ridley

No one mentions Forte. He may not have too many years left, but I think he will be a beast this season.

Forte is really old particularly for a dynasty league!

29 old for long term, but still good for winning now thinking.

yeah, new system, wayyyyyyyyy less pass catches

 

[HaroldSeattle]

yeah, new system, wayyyyyyyyy less pass catches

Like most players, he has soon things, like a new system that can make you wonder about his numbers, but even with a steep drop off he will do better then many others.

In a redraft league especially with the RB uncertainty, Forte still goes in the 1st round.

Bro, he gets the rock. He has no competition.

week 13 - 0
week 14 - 7
week 15 - 4
week 16 - 1

None of the 0's are from games he missed

 

[SteelersPride]

so where did he get benched? he was a 3rd down and ppr back......never supposed to be a starter? so this is not really relevant anyways, but was he benched? that was the statement were referring to

Does it mafter if he was benched or if he played and got a goose egg? 12 out 16 games you better hope he wasn't in your line up.

no , it doest, but stomps argument was benching of RB's. so not sure why we posted all the games and his points?

Back to my other point, he was the back up, and 3rd down back, i dont expect consisten productions in standard leagues

Its completely relevant from game to game don't trust any of New England's running backs what i said in my OP. If you want players like that go for it, but i'll pass on them i've already been screwed drafting both Ridley and Vareen

New system, but with a run-first coach in Fox. Especially if they want to limit Cutler's throws (which is the buzz).

Forte has rushed for 1000 yards in 4 of his last 5 seasons. Less catches, but should get more carries. I've read reports that Fox does not trust rookies much either. Cory Latimer saw very limited action last year only catching 2 passes. Doesn't say much for Bears' rookies White and Langford. But should be good for Forte. (And maybe even a sleeper work for Marquesse Wilson and Ka'Deem Carey.) Forte doesn't turn 30 until Dec 10th (late in the season). Incidentally, Broncos RB under Fox were targeted 98 times.

You can get benched in game just because he played doesn't mean Bellichick didn't bench him

ok so which game did he get benched, and your neglecting to realize he was not the starter.....and never was the starter.......

Plenty of people took him as a flex last year just like people will take guys like Ameer, Cj Spiller, Giovani Bernard this Year
