shutdown 40 Posted September 19, 2019 6 hours ago, AxeElf said: Pay no attention to the hopeful Darwin owners behind the curtain (they're a little biased). I'm a hopeful Darwin owner, but I agree with this advice. Brown has a better o-line to run behind and he's already getting 35% of the RB workload. As much as I like Thompson to be the best of the KC backs longterm, he's still going to be sharing carries 3 ways based on who is healthy and based on his pass blocking skills development. Brown has value now and can have even more in the event Gurley's maintenance program further reduces his workload. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stonewall 647 Posted September 19, 2019 Chiefs RB Damien Williams (knee) won't practice again Thursday. Advice: Williams should be considered very questionable for the Chiefs' Week 3 matchup against the Ravens. LeSean McCoy (ankle) also missed practice Wednesday, but he's expected to practice Thursday in some capacity. Shady would instantly be a high-end RB2 if Williams is ultimately ruled out. Rookie Darwin Thompson would also be expected to play a decent chunk of snaps with Williams sidelined and McCoy at less than 100%. (Rotoworld.com) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LoOnAtIk 75 Posted September 21, 2019 On 9/18/2019 at 5:11 PM, shutdown said: If I were drafting today, I'd pick Darwin Thompson over McCoy and Williams. That's based on several very "soft" assumptions McCoy, while viable in this offense is on the wrong side of 30 for RB's and has nearly 2,400 carries in his career and over 2,800 touches. Damien Williams has yet to handle more than 75 touches in a single season in his career. Williams is currently averaging 1.5 yards per carry. One of the draft comps for D. Thompson was Brian Westbrook. Look if shady was a couple of years younger I'd have no worries about him taking most of the work in this offense, but I don't see him playing more than 6 complete games at the most. Williams has never shown he can handle the load that this offense could dish out for a season. About 325 total touches for the lead back. There's no history of him doing that. I get the fact that Thompson has no history of anything either, but I think Williams is a proven career backup and McCoy won't stay healthy. I think by the end of the year, Thompson will be the guy, barring an injury of his own which is quite possible for a rookie. But that would be more a circumstance of chance where as for McCoy, he'd be the exception to the rule to have a productive season at his age. This is a huge reach. Just because most athletes slow down after a certain age doesn’t mean they all do. Draft comparisons don’t mean diddly, especially one made for a gadget player who many would argue would not have success in today’s NFL. Bellcows don’t exist anymore at Brian Westbrook size. Dont forget Trent Richardson was compared to Adrian Peterson. Never forget. So the fact that you value the 3rd string option just because he provides the “unknown” element seems extreme lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most RB's dont get much past the age of 30, so if you have him you need to understand he's playing with borrowed time. if you own him, you should grab his backup/replacement. its just good team planning. then if the wheels fall off, you dont get the shaft. Frank Gore put up 1100 rushing yards at age 31. Adrian Peterson put up over 1000 yards rushing last year at age 33. Most LESSER RBs don’t stay in the league long enough to get this old.

AxeElf 787 Posted September 21, 2019 The ONLY thing that concerns me about starting McCoy this week is that the Baltimore rush D is #1 in the league right now, allowing only 20.5 rushing yards per game (and no, that's not a typo). But then, Arizona was throwing on every play (DJ only got 7 carries in Week 2) and their other opponent was Miami--so I'm not completely shaking in my boots.

huskyhater75 242 Posted September 22, 2019 Part of being in the league at their age is being a good pass blocker, which they are. The younger guys that stick around that long learn from the older guys, most coaches won't put up with a non-blocker for that long. You gotta have balls enough to be a blocker too!

Yeah, I was talking about the Giants, and like in fantasy football you can tell when someone is going to either be injured or get into trouble. And I mostly bashed the Giants for taking him instead of a QB. Barkley will never sniff a championship run while with the Giants. You don't make a running back the cornerstone of a rebuild.
