Is Phillip Lindsay on anyone’s radar?

[Ice]

I went all in on him in one league after week 1 with my BB money in one league. Another owner bid 190 of his 200 so I was happy I did. Maybe it's the number on his jersey or the fact he called Terrell Davis personally to ask if he could wear his number but it looks pretty obvious he has that it factor and the maturity to play at a high level.

I think Davis was a 6th round pick back in the day but regardless he sure looks like a diamond in rough.

I will be holding him unless someone comes with a strong offer. He could fall flat but I betting he won't so not in any hurry to sell him for average players or average picks.

Offer on the table for him of agholor and a 19 3rd. Take it or Hold?

Take

I sold my one share. Burton, Lindsay, and a late 2019 2nd for Evan Engram

[nation31]

I have an offer of 2020 first for Lindsay. Am I stupid to not want to take the deal?

That doesn’t make you stupid, but no - you should absolutely take that deal.

I just sold my Lindsay share

gave Lindsay and Dede Westbrook
got: DeSean Jackson and Dallas Goedert.

I'm a contender and I already have a ton of RBs and we can only start 3 needed a high powered WR. It was very said to see him go.

Yikes. I’d rather have Dede than Desean, and Lindsay=Goedert

Tried to sell Lindsay to the Freeman owner for a 2nd and was told that’s too much. Wouldn’t sell for less so it looks like I’m holding

Figured I would bump this thread on Lindsay. He's now played 3 games (if we throw out his ejection):

Week 1 - 15/71 rushing, 2/31 receiving + receiving TD
Week 2 - 14/107 rushing, 1/4 receiving
Week 4 - 12/69 rushing, 2/10 receiving + rushing TD

On the season, he's averaging 5.9 yards per rush and 9 yards per catch. He's averaging nearly 15 ppg (.5 PPR) in those 3 games which would put him as RB #13 - even with his ejection included he's currently RB #25.

Thoughts on the rest of season outlook? Freeman has looked solid the past few games so I certainly don't think Lindsay's role can grow too much in the short term. But can he keep up this pace and hit 1,000 total yards and 8+ TDs?

Only spot I own him in is in a 18 teamer, so if he can exceed 10 attempts per game, ill be happy. I don't think he'll maintain his pace or TD's given his stature. The backfield looks destined to be RBBC for the year. Both backs compliment each other well. Limits the upside this year for both. However, both are an injury away from being in the back end RB1 talk (production wise not value).

I was recently offered Corey Davis (before this weekend's blowup) for Lindsay. Was actually harder to accept than I thought it would be but certainly looks a little better after Davis' weekend.

[raiders444]

Had him going last night and needed a big game so watched closely. Was disappointed they had Booker in more on that final drive- Lindsay is built like the protoypical 3rd down/scat back. I do think he's going to struggle at pass protection based on his size when those DEs and OLBs come at him. Saw one where he tried to chop the guy but didnt fully get him and the defender recorded a sack

[kmbryant09]

Anyone still riding with Lindsay - especially this week with a great matchup against a soft Arizona run defense?

Lindsay has been steady if unspectacular - he's had 9+ points in every game this year (not including the ejection) and finally got involved in the passing game last week. Vance Joseph has claimed there will be changes with the team moving forward - so perhaps Lindsay gets more 3rd down work at Booker's expense.

He's still leading the backfield in snaps & touches. He's averaging 5.7 yards per rush and 8.1 yards per catch.

Could tonight be his breakout game?? What's his value at right now - future 1st? High 2nd?

There's no reason why Booker should be playing and taking snaps from Freeman and Lindsay..but that's just me.

He passes the eye test for me as well. Smaller guy who plays with a lot of heart. Runs inside very well. Obviously has the speed to get around on the outside as well. And his hands/route-running are elite for the RB position. But from all the reports we've gotten during training camp and the preseason, it is the intangibles that are most impressive. Attitude, work-ethic, ability to learn. You don't come out un-drafted from a low-tier Division 1 school and get on the NFL field as fast and often as this dude has without turning a lot of heads.

I don't know why this guy isn't more hyped-up by the fantasy community. He is one of this season's revelations.

I supposed the counter-argument is that there's always a few guys who come out of nowhere, flash for a few weeks, and then return to obscurity. That may be the case with Lindsay... I doubt it. But it could be.
