Thanks for the insight. Prob gonna keep Coop on the bench now.
-
Rotoworld reported: Listed as questionable with an ankle injury, Cooper wasn't even worked out by medical staff before the game, suggesting there was never any doubt about his availability for the team. Now Im really starting to debate playing him over Baldwin.
-
Bortles over Wilson, eh? Y'all crazy.
-
Because I don't trust him not turning it over and giving the Colts prime field position all game. I would play SEA, easily.
-
I think so too, but I've been burned too many times to start him.
-
He absolutely can. The frustrating part is Koetter rarely uses him as a pass catching back (instead he loves bringing shuffle feet Sims in), and when Jameis does check down to him he always throws the ball 5 ft over his head. I have been bitching since Lovie Smith was the HC how criminally underused Martin has been in this offense. This year is no different.
-
Except their top 2 LBs werent playing. Everyone thinks Gio is going to get 25+ carries. He has almost never gotten that kind of work. I think a more realistic stat line is like 15/60 and 4/30 with maybe a TD.
-
Why does no one want to listen to people like me that watch their games EVERY WEEK? This is literally the same situation as Gurley last year. Everyone bitched and moaned that he was overrated and wouldnt ever do anything. Did the coaches bench him? Hell no because hes by far the most talented RB on that team. And look what happened this year. When he finally has a competent coach and offensive line he looks outstanding. BARBER IS NOT AS GOOD AS MARTIN...PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
-
Barber was averaging worse (2.9) than Martin before the GB game. So your point that hes been better isnt correct. Im watching these games. TBs offensive line opened up holes for Barber vs GB that you could drive a truck through. That hasnt happened all season. Martin and the O-line were already starting to show signs of life in the ATL game before he got concussed. And I think that carried over to the following week. Plus it was Jameiss first week back, so GB couldnt just stack the box all game like a lot of teams have been doing to Fitzpatrick. If Martin gets the majority of the work tomorrow and TB gives him as much running room as they did Barber...watch out. Im not advocating starting him by any means, but I think theres a little hope for him for anyone that is desperate or wants to play a wait and see approach for next week. I just dropped CJA to reacquire Martin hoping this is the week he gets backs on track.

Was looking up stats trying to decide between Gio and Lewis. Food for thought: 1. Bears haven't allowed a 100 yard rusher against them all season 2. Gio has only had 18+ carries in 3/67 career games 3. Bengals are 30th in both rushing yds/game and ypc and 29th in rushing tds this season. 4. Bengals rank 29th in run blocking. I think I'm leaning back toward Lewis now.
-
I watch the Bucs week in and week out. You simply can't produce when you're constantly being hit behind the line (see Gurley from last year). Excluding the GB game, the O-line, playcalling, and QB play have been terrible. Martin still has great burst, ridiculous shiftiness, and ability to break tackles/run over guys when he can find a hole worth a damn. Many of his long runs have been called back due to penalties as well. Coming from a guy that just dropped him (meaning I have no stake in his success), IT'S NOT HIM. I will reiterate this for the millionth time...if he were on a team with any semblance of an offensive line, playcalling that wasn't absolutely predictable and vanilla, and a QB that could hit the broad side of a barn...he would easily be at least a top end RB2.

Everyone has different expectations. Trying to rationalize hypotheticals and "should haves" is an effort in futility for fantasy purposes. The end result is all that matters. Ingram put up high/mid RB2 numbers this week. A dud is what he did against the Rams. For all we know NO could have been downplaying his toe injury and he might have ended up with half the production if Kamara didn't get knocked out. -

But you can also argue that Ingram has been so successful this season because NO's offense is that much better with Kamara playing. How many fewer TDs would Ingram have without Kamara getting chunk plays left and right? Plus, NO inexplicably ignored him for much of the 2nd half. All things considered, especially not knowing if he was even going to play 24 hrs before the game, getting RB2 production from him this week isn't worth bemoaning. -

I wouldn't consider Ingram a dud this week. He put up high/mid RB2 numbers and fell 4 pts short of his average. -
Yes I would consider that decent. Satisfactory. Fair. Capable.
