2024 Top 10 Rbs - let's discuss

Recommended Posts

I think he was cooked, from 2022, he had 392 touches.  I see a rebound, also he’s in a much better situation with the Packers.

Zero career receiving TDs for Jacobs. You're totally reliant on rushing TDs on a team where Jordan Love had 4 rushing TDs this past season and projected for 6-8 this season. 

You can have Jacobs

I looked around, I see projected for Love, rushing tds 2-3.   Based on FFToday, and Fantasy Pros   

Jacobs has also avg 40 rec per season, this will be the season he gets not one but 2 plus rec tds, another projection. 

Dillon is horrible, that’s what You said, volume alone on a better team, he’s going to produce. Sorry your going to pass on him for R White.  

Thanks.

As much as it pains me to agree with Paws, after the first 5 backs, Jacobs is as good as anyone else...

I can't rank him above Etienne, Jonathan Taylor, Gibbs, Barkley, etc. 

That would be criminal

- McCaffrey 

- Breece Hall

- Bijan 

- JT

- Gibbs 

- Etienne 

- Barkley 

- Pacheco 

- Mixon

- Henry

- Kyren?? 

- Jacobs? 

I could argue Rhamondre, Achane, Rashaad White and James Cook as well. Jacobs definitely isn't top 5.

Cooked RBs don’t often become raw again

Pacheco over Jacobs? Yikes. Well, I disagree with what you say sir, but I will defend to the death your right to say it....

A decent list - yeah, tough to rank Jacobs as a top 5.  Gibbs is someone I don't think will improve much on last season's numbers, so I see him closer to 10 than 5.  Monty is still around and the Lions coaching staff seems determined to get him plenty of value touches (which kind of limits Gibbs' upside).  When Gibbs was unleashed in the middle of last season, I think it caught some teams off-guard.  With a more tape, I expect D's to be a bit better prepared for him so I wouldn't be surprised to see a bit of a sophomore slump.

I do expect White's carries to decline, with the Bucs drafting Bucky Irving in the 4th. Seemed like a clear message they weren't happy with White's inefficiency the past two years.

Listened to a college scouting guru about Bucky today - at the combine he listed as 5'9" and 192 lbs (ESPN shows 5'10" 195 lbs, whatever - small dude).  His RAS (Relative Athletic Score) was 3.7.  For comparison: Jaylen Wright (9.8), Trey Benson (9.8), Blake Corum (8.5). Bucky's 40-yd dash was 4.55 ... not terrible, not fast.  His vertical jump - dead last out of the 22 Rb participants at 29.5". Broad jump second to last. As the guru said "Bucky Irving couldn't jump over a $2 bill."

He was fairly elusive at Oregon and has some receiving skills, but it surprised some he was even drafted after the combine performance. The guru I heard thought the only job he's suited for at the NFL level is receiving work. Given his small stature and poor athleticism, I wonder if he can even pass block.

He's clearly no threat for goal line work, and doesn't sound like much of a threat to many of White's carries, but maybe some receptions. Gotta wonder why the Bucs even drafted him.?.  Strange.

Not happy with Whites inefficiency I would say.  Sometimes players don’t always like up to their hype coming to the nfl, sometimes they go beyond.

That was my thought, til I knew about Bucky's poor athleticism and small stature. We'll see if he can translate that elusiveness he had in college to the NFL, but it doesn't seem promising.

But I think he’s better than C Edmunds.

In ppr Swift was 19th in points last season.  21st the season before, and 15th In 2021.  Top 20 isn’t news for Swift.  

But they have three Rbs , it’s going to be a RBBC.  Tough situation for Swift owners imo. 

As someone who doesn't draft early-round Rbs, I'm always scouting mid- and late-round Rb gems and naturally Swift is one I want to like given the low adp.

The more I look at the situation, the less I like it. The time share is just too much. The Bears invested 4th rd draft capital into Roschon and likely won't give up on him after a lackluster rookie season. Herbert has been solid for two straight years. Bears coach didn't mind using time-share last year, though they do have a new o-coordinator out of Seattle who gave Walker the bulk over Charbonnet, but no telling how he splits it up between three Rbs. Roschon got most goal line work last year, so who knows where that ends up. At least the Qb isn't known for rushing Tds.

Swift is known for receptions, but Roschon had 34 last year and Herbert had 20 despite missing five games. Even if Swift cuts into some of that the Bears still have lots of other great receiving options between Moore, Allen, Odunze, and Kmet. Considering that, hard to imagine Swift getting more than 40 this year.

Then there's the injury concern as Swift has missed a few games in every season he's played. I've read the reason the Bears signed Swift was simply because they had a ton of cap space and they're only locked in for two years, despite a 3-year deal. He's an effective Rb and will probably help the Bears win games, but fantasy-wise the situation isn't ideal.

Yea, Bears have a good amount of depth at rb and wr, And with a rookie at Qb, I think it’s a pass for any of them for me.  Herbert is a home run hitter from time to time.  RBBC no question,  D J Moore/ Allen. Rookie Qb. I’ll pass.

You should of just burned that money. 

A RB who doesn't catch balls has NO SHOT of winning Offensive Player Of The Year. 

muuhhhhhaaahahahaaha Henrys odds for OPOY just turned negative for the first time all year. He was +6000 to start the year. He is -145 now.
