DrG 94 Posted June 8, 2021 You cannot mention the Lions RBs of recent yore and not include Kevin Smith and his outlier combination of productivity and fragility. I expect Jamaal to reprise his role on an unfortunately lesser situation than what he had in Green Bay. He was flex-able behind Aaron Jones and will be behind Swift.

Agreed the team he’s now on will be horrible and that alone will hurt his and all those other players production, I’m personally in my 14 team non ppr league being staying away from Lions players unless I can get really cheap value.

weepaws 2,418 Posted July 30, 2021 Now the new head coach is talking about playing the hot hand. I hate coach talk. But this looks like a true RBBC with the coach saying that if the hot hand is Williams they will find other ways to use Swift. I’m not interested in any Texans and Jets and Most Lions , I’ll take a late draft pick on J Williams based on his current ADP, which now could start to rise. More help for you mr wolves. Thanks.

tanatastic 2,061 Posted July 31, 2021 Swift far better and JWill even has some potential flex appeal but it’s going to be a committee. Both guys are worth a stash in case of injury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,418 Posted July 31, 2021 Hard to draft Swift for stash at his current ADP. Your drafting him as a rb two a this current time, but that could change by the end of August Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swift is def drafted as an RB2 and could even gain adp as the weeks go on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nobody 2,023 Posted July 31, 2021 Jamaal Williams is a three yards and a cloud of dust type. I doubt he will have the hot hand very often. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,418 Posted July 31, 2021 I doubt that any player on the Lions will have a hot hand throughout the season, that team is so limited on offense. But I wouldn’t spend a late third round pick on Swift. To many variables that show me that he won’t return his ADP back to the owner that will spend a third round pick rb2 on him. M Swift ranked 21 in avg last season, and that was with 10 total tds, the Lions might not score ten tds as a team. Williams a very late round pick would be the right call, and it will turn out to be the better pick. M Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrG 94 Posted August 1, 2021 Flex worthy with upside Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,418 Posted August 1, 2021 Would agree about Swift, flex with upside. I like J Williams as a rb4-5 I think his ADP might rise some of during the preseason he does play more. Hockensen would be the best Lions offense player to own imo, but even that’s limited, last season he was the 7th te non ppr based on avg per game, can’t see more then that with Goff at the helm.
