jrbdmb 28 Posted September 19, 2010 Have you ever played fantasy football before? Regardless, do you need someone else in your league? Seriously, get off the edge of the cliff. Well, depending on his ankle, he may be waiver bait soon. I've picked up Tolbert just in case. Maybe SD can trade VJax to Minny for a RB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Admiral Awesome 0 Posted September 20, 2010 You know that from one and a half games from a rookie? You are good. Mike Tolbert is keeping up with him, if not passing him up. He wasn't even drafted. Mathews can be outperformed by many running backs in this league. He doesn't have outstanding speed, and he isn't exactly elusive. I have no idea why he was so talked over to begin with. The kid came from Fresno State. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TennisMenace 156 Posted September 20, 2010 Point noted - Ryan Mathews was annoited "star" and 1st round draft choice quite early on. It looks like he will be a disappointment and not live up to that lofty standard, but he may still be okay. I have him, and now need to pick up Tolbert to handcuff him.

djrockstar 0 Posted September 20, 2010 I think the issue here has to do with expectation. Disappointment with Mathews is high because of his ADP. I would argue that drafting a rookie - ANY rookie - in the first or second round is a high risk / low reward proposition. It's an incredible gamble with such a valuable pick, and even if it does pay off, it still just "meets" expectation. It's not like we've never seen busts come out of the first round, but I think it's silly to be surprised when it's a rookie. Having said all that, I think it's way way WAY too early to toss out Mathews. There's plenty of opportunity for him to emerge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMENMANIA 0 Posted September 20, 2010 Agreed. I would never draft a rookie in the first 3 rounds and probably not until the 5th or 6th at least. Out of your higher picks especially you want to know that unless your pick has a severe injury you'll be getting production that's at least in the same ballpark of where you drafted that player. Obviously some "studs" will be busts (see Clinton Portis' second half two years ago or Turner's last year) but most will be around their yearly average production. The problem with rookie's is that they have no yearly production standard in the NFL, their track record has 0 entries. I'll take addai over any rookie RB in the class b/c I know that Addai is going to get me at least 1000 total yards and double digit TD's. Donald Brown who?

Bones40 0 Posted September 20, 2010 Regardless of whether or not Mathews' ankle is alright, I really have a hard time seeing him reach his ADP. A) Rookie B ) Drafted to a team with some real bad run blocking the last couple years. C) Never played a full season in College due to injury. D) Drafted to a team with a beastly goal line back (Tolbert) and maybe the best 3rd down back in the league (Sproles). What's not to like? If you wasted your first rounder on Mathews...better luck next year! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dsausage 36 Posted September 20, 2010 Chargers coach Norv Turner says the team's next update on Ryan Mathews' ankle injury will be given Wednesday. It'll be in the form of a practice report. Turner confirmed Mathews was "sore" Monday, but the No. 12 overall pick doesn't appear to be in danger of missing much time. Added Turner, "I’m excited to get to a game where Ryan gets 25 touches because I think he’s going to make some big things happen." A note to all Matthews owners: DO NOT TRADE HIM, YOU WILL REGRET IT.

Dsausage 36 Posted September 20, 2010 Just to add to this: Admiral Awesome you must be trolling. This guy when gotten the ball (aside from 2 suspect fumbles, one in the rain) has looked awesome. He is strong and fast and can make cuts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
