you nailed it. 100%

you are not wrong. and those runs also became very predictable. hard to stop a RB from getting at least 3 yards on the play on first down if the play is setup right but that also hurts the metrics. if the D knows what to defend, those are hard miles. and he got 4 YPC anyway. while that isnt fantastic I'd say behind that line its pretty solid.

that would be implied yes, but really what you want is a QB who gets lots of TD. yardage is important but quite secondary compared to the TD production

it doesnt help that the team stays tight lipped about it either. if its a season ender, they will say hes week to week but then a few days later they trade for someone to take his place and then the player goes to IR. so that makes it tough on us to do our job

take the best player. thats what trades are for. someone will bite on that if hes lighting it up.

this is 100% correct. what we want to find out is whether its a grade 1, 2, or 3 that will give us a better idea of what the situation is. sometimes it takes a while for that info to become public

I'm always careful when using this as a reason. its fine to look at the metrics, but I also like to see what conditions existed that caused the metrics to be bad. sometimes you see the cause, sometimes not. in the case of Mixon, (for example) he was playing on a team with a bad O line the last couple years. then when his QB went down last year, the metrics for much of the offense was worse. teams took advantage of that bad line frequently and early down run blitz turns into a pass blitz if its not a run play and the backup QB wasnt always up to the task to make them pay for this. hes in a far better place now where the run game will be more effective. Im not predicting an explosion of fantasy performance but I think he will be at least as good and likely a bit better than last year. just food for your thoughts. you are not wrong about the metrics for the players you mentioned. but you should try to go one step further in your analysis. might lead you to some better conclusions

hes not on my DND list, but I dont have him high on my pickup list. he has to fall far enough in the draft to be worth it. and a lot of people are drafting him far earlier than he should be. so while I have him down on my list, it is unlikely that i end up with any shares of him this year

sounds like free money to me. enjoy

well thats what i am seeing in the drafts I've seen of late. some prefer Bijan, but 80% of the drafts I've seen Breece Hall goes ahead of him. I've also seen Breece go #1 in at least one draft.

I think he will do well in the TD department as well. as mentioned earlier, if hes your RB4 you're doing really well. and if anything happens to Rico, the guy instantly becomes an RB3, possibly even a low end RB2 if they make him into a workhorse again though I'd say for that scenario to play out everything would need to go right for him. Rico gets hurt. and dallas taking the early lead on the strength of their defense and running the ball like mad to kill the clock. Zeke is a physical runner. he was always good at beating up a tired defense late in games.

He fell to 7th overall in a draft I am in right now. and I was picking in 8 when he was still on the board at 7. someone drafting out the the #10 slot tried to trade with the holder at 7 and then made me an offer I couldnt refuse. I suspect in the hope he could take him at 8 if he slid. but he didnt and the guy got Bijan. either way I was happy. while I like him a lot I value him pretty close to where I value Bijan and both of them only slightly ahead of Sequon. but those are the only RB I'd consider in round 1 this year. some would make a case for Johnathan Taylor and I'd say hes on the cusp. real problem is after the top 5 or 6 picks go there is nobody that REALLY thrills me at this point in the draft. there are so many players that are valued fairly equally.
