Mike FF Today 607 Posted August 8, 2019 Not a bad landing spot for Duke. Once he gets up to speed, he should have a decent role behind Lamar Miller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AintNoStoppinMeNow 68 Posted August 8, 2019 A slight bump up for Watson as well adding a guy who should add 50+ catches and 500+ receiving yards out of the backfield with a handful of receiving TD's. Hopkins, Fuller, Coutee and now Duke is a very nice arsenal of weapons to throw to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good point but with Watson's injury history and the fact they traded for Duke I have to believe this is a move in part to keep Watson from taking so many hits and encouraging dump offs.

IGotWorms 3,248 Posted August 8, 2019 I guess a small bump for Duke as you never know whether this will lead to an expanded role. Small bump for Hunt as well as I’d say this is further sign he will have a significant role upon his return. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,418 Posted August 8, 2019 Great move for those that already liked The Chubb. And I think this move really helps those in non ppr in picking Miller. He will be the man once again on a offense that’s going to be a tough out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[echo] 72 Posted August 9, 2019 any chance he turns into the lead back over Miller? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miller is usually good for missing a game or two, and he isn't the most talented or dynamic back. I don't think they brought Duke in to replace Miller, but it wouldn't be the craziest thing if 10 games into the season, and Duke is the better fantasy player.

weepaws 2,418 Posted August 10, 2019 In a ppr system it would not surprise me at all if they our even or that Duke j would be ahead in points. But in a non ppr naw, I think Miller has his best season as a Texan this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
