Which rb would be ranked 4 after the top 3 are gone? Gordon? Mccoy? Freeman?

[eaglesfreak 10]

In ppr who you got?

 

I would say gordon,mccoy and then freeman (freeman would def be 4th if coleman wasnt there)..

[weepaws 2,450]

Zeke would be ranked forth.

[eaglesfreak 10]

Huh? Bell david johnson then zeke?

[weepaws 2,450]

Gordon is third.

 

Zeke is forth on my ppr rankings.

[BobSanders_33 127]

I'd go McCoy, Freeman and then Gordon.

[Maulers1973 117]

I have Gordon 4th as there is nobody challenging him for touches. Also, the offensive line was addressed so they should be better.

[Ray_T 587]

Gordon is third.

 

Zeke is forth on my ppr rankings.

I disagree. too many questions on that O line. 2 (possibly 3) new faces. It will take a half season for them to come together and work as a team.

 

I agree Gordon will be better, but not THAT much better and most of the improvement will be seen in the second half of the season.

 

I'm betting on Shady Mccoy as my #4 Ranked RB behind David Johnson, Bell, and Zeke.

[polecatt 399]

I would put DeMarco Murray up there

He doesn't get PPR credit but he catches like 45-50 passes a season

He's going to get the ball a lot

I know they have Henry but Murray will still get 250-300 carries

[Ray_T 587]

I think I had him at #5. but he's good enough that he should be in the conversation.

[weepaws 2,450]

I like D Murray more in a ppr league then a standard.

 

I do think Henry will get more work then last season in the rushing game.

 

And it's ok that you don't agree with me about ranking M Gordon third.

 

So I disagree with your disagreement with me.

 

Gordon will without question improve on his 3.9 avg per.

 

And I think the Zeke will lose points and drop from his 5.0 avg.

 

I think the Cowboys will have a tough season.

[Ray_T 587]

I have no doubt that this season will not be as good as the last one for Dallas.

 

The line wont be as good. I still think they will be good enough for Zeke to have a good season. I just dont think he will be running over teams like he did last year.

 

and the offense wont sustain as many long drives that take a bunch of time off the clock.

 

In the end, that will mean more time on the field for the defense, and I think that defense will be seriously exposed late in some football games where Zeke wont be as effective.

 

I agree 5 YPC wont be repeated. I'm thinking somewhere in the range of 4.5 YPC would be more reasonable this year for Zeke.

[weepaws 2,450]

Will remember this, last season the Zeke avg only two points more per game then Gordon did in ppr.

 

So I agree Gordon is going to score more this season,and we agree the Zeke will score less.

 

The Zeke will still have another good season I have him ranked forth.

[Frozenbeernuts 1,652]

You people still do realize Gordon rushed for less than 4.0 ypc last season right? I am staying away. Dude is so overrated. I would definitely take McCoy 4th

[Jasmine Marie 0]

I think Gordon

[weepaws 2,450]

If Gordon had gain 19 more yards last season he would have a 4.0 avg per carry.

 

19 yards.

[IGotWorms 3,297]

If Gordon had gain 19 more yards last season he would have a 4.0 avg per carry.

 

19 yards.

My aunt got a cack and now she's my uncle

[weepaws 2,450]

Sorry about that, it must be tough on the entire family.

 

Still doesn't change the fact that just 19 more yards and Gordon is avg 4.0 yards per carry.

[TBayXXXVII 2,104]

Will remember this, last season the Zeke avg only two points more per game then Gordon did in ppr.

 

So I agree Gordon is going to score more this season,and we agree the Zeke will score less.

 

The Zeke will still have another good season I have him ranked forth.

 

I get where you're coming from and while you may be right, I think it's the wrong approach. You're just basing it on total points scored and not by impact. If Elliott is suspended for a few games, he will definitely score less points this season, but in the games that Elliott plays, I believe he outscores Gordon. In games Elliott misses, you don't take a 0, you can start someone else. There's no way I take Gordon over Elliott.

[TBayXXXVII 2,104]

Sorry about that, it must be tough on the entire family.

 

Still doesn't change the fact that just 19 more yards and Gordon is avg 4.0 yards per carry.

 

... and that 4.0 ypc would have put him tied for 23rd in the league with guys like Latavius Murray, Terrance West, Christine Michael, Lamar Miller, and C.J. Anderson. That's not very good company.

[weepaws 2,450]

I'm not basing it n the Zeke missing any game time.

 

FF is about total points.

 

Yeah but non of those other Rb that avg 4.0 yards per carry scored 254 ff ppr points either.

 

So Gordon was seventh in ff ppr points and tied for forth in avg ff ppr points per game.

 

Now that's making a big impact on any ff team.

 

James 4:7-8.

A lot of lucky goal line touches. I don't know that he will get those again.

[weepaws 2,450]

I think the Chargers will be a good scoring team this season.

 

And their is no one else on that team that's going to impact his goa line touches.

 

I think he will score more rushing tds then he did last season.

 

I thinking 13 or so.

 

Plus in ppr he had 57 targets in the passing game.

 

That's only one target less then McCoy and remember in ppr he avg the same amount of points per game as McCoy at 19.

Idk. I think he is just mediocre. I don't see why he is this magical goal line back when guys a lot bigger than him have trouble scoring on a majority of goal line touches. His disgustingly poor rookie season, plus his continued sub 4.0 you, not top of thinking he was already a mediocre athlete without extra size, it all points to a let down from my view.

 

Meanwhile everyone wants to write off Spencer Ware who averaged 4.3 ypc in the same division. Plus it was blatantly obvious defenses were not afraid of the Chiefs conventional passing game, which lead to stacked boxes.

[weepaws 2,450]

I think others including myself is writing off Ware because the team draft a player named Hunt who I think is better.

 

The Chargers did not this off season at the Rb postion, expect they lost Woodhead, who was a non factor last season.

 

It's all good McCoy the Zeke or Gordon everyone would agree they all should be good this season.

 

I'm taking Gordon after D J and Bell.

 

According to the Football Guru redzone report.

 

Last season Gordon converted 9 of his inside the ten yard line touches into tds that's a 52%. And Chargers Oline was a miss last season.

 

McCoy converted 4 of his 9 touches inside the ten for tds. That's 44%.

 

And Freeman of the Falcons converted only 5 of his 16 touches inside the ten into tds. That's 31%.

[Frozenbeernuts 1,652]

Hunt isn't better though...... I don't even know how anyone can come to that conclusion. They must have literally never watched Ware run.

[Maulers1973 117]

Hunt isn't better though...... I don't even know how anyone can come to that conclusion. They must have literally never watched Ware run.

 

How many TD's did he have last year?

 

What was his FF points per game? I know coaches don't care about that, but we're in the world of FF here.

 

Also, Reid coached teams have never drafted a RB as high as they did Hunt and they moved up to get him there.

 

The consensus is that Hunt will be the feature back. That's not just conjecture, it's what people inside the team are saying.

 

Ware is a good back, but they believe they drafted a great back.

Ware is a good back, but they believe they drafted a great back.

But Ware is bigger, faster, with as good if not better hands. And he knows the offense. Who inside the organization has said Hunt will start? I actually find it hard to believe anyone inside has said that.

 

Looking at it logically

 

Spencer Ware busts his ass all year playing the position with good results. His production tailed as the year went on, but that can also be attributed to his first full year as a starter pretty much, and teams keying on him. When I saw him run I was seriously impressed.

 

New rookie who hasn't taken a snap in the NFL, comes in a shows promise. But he isn't a world beater by any means from what I have seen.

 

Organization says rookie who hasn't proven shlt in the NFL is going to start over the guy who worked his ass off last year. Its a massive slap in the face. It makes no sense, unless of course someone flat out thinks Ware isn't good. If that's the case then they have no clue how to evaluate what they are watching. It's that simple.

[polecatt 399]

If that's the case then they have no clue how to evaluate what they are watching. It's that simple.

If there is one thing they know in KC it's how to evaluate RBs, Charles, LJ, Priest Holmes.

Don't see them screwing it up.

[TBayXXXVII 2,104]

Andy Ried did pretty good for himself in Philly too with Westbrook and McCoy.

[Frozenbeernuts 1,652]

I'm not saying they don't. I like Hunt. Do not take this as I don't think Hunt is a good rb. That point is stating that anyone who watches Ware run and isn't at least a little impressed, they have no clue

[polecatt 399]

No, that's not what I'm saying at all, just saying they will make the right choice

[Kent 228]

You people still do realize Gordon rushed for less than 4.0 ypc last season right? I am staying away. Dude is so overrated. I would definitely take McCoy 4th

Agreed. He being unbelievably overrated and I drafted him last year late. Watching the games he felt really TD dependent. He's not a top 5 back.

[Maulers1973 117]

Based on talent alone, I'd agree with you. However, looking at his situation, he is. He has NOBODY challenging him for touches. They'll be a dynamic offense if the key guys stay healthy. His offensive line will be markedly better.

People are going to reach for this guy and he's just not that good.

[weepaws 2,450]

I'm going to rank him third at the Rb postion.

 

And he's going to deliver even bigger then last year.

 

For a guy with so little talent he was forth in points per game avg in ppr.

 

And his Oline was awful.

 

Now if the Oline improves and and his numbers go up and they will, he's very much worthy of being third ranked.

A litany of not very good running backs have had top 5 years in the past. So that doesn't sway me

[weepaws 2,450]

Lol not trying too sway anyone.

 

You know what you are doing and it shows on this board.

 

I'm just posting my worthless two cents.

 

I'm wrong most of the time.

Ware is a good back, but they believe they drafted a great back.

and actions speak louder than words.

 

I think Hunt is the back of the future. To me the only question is how long it will take.

 

The season may start as a committee. or they may work him in as the backup for a while. I doubt they will give him the job outright but I think the starting job will eventually be his.

[weepaws 2,450]

Ware played in 14 games last season.

 

His first seven games he avg in ppr 16 points per game and had a weekly avg ranking of 19th. Which would make him a low rb2.

 

His last seven games he played in he avg in ppr 11 points per game and had a weekly avg ranking of 26. Which would make him a high rb3.

 

There is a reason why KC wanted to upgrade the Rb postion, that's is the focus of their offence game plan.

 

I think there's a great chance that Hunt could open the season either as the rb1 or it will be a rb1 and rb2 situation.

[MDC 5,874]

Until KC upgrades the QB it won't matter much who runs the ball. Teams stacked the box because Alex Smith never goes downfield.
