Which team's backfield is the worst to own?

Postby hockeyBjj » Wed Jan 17, 2018 11:49 am

For years it seemed the Patriots were a fantasy owner's biggest headache to own shares of, but Dion Lewis second half of the season was pretty reliable

Currently, I have to say it the Seahawks. Not even their coaches know Sunday morning who is going to be getting a usable percentage of the carries and if a guy does do well one week, he's inexplicably a healthy scratch the next week

Any other backfields to stay away from? Or coaches/orgs that seem to be trending that way? Talking worse than just a typical committee. Tampa with Doug Martin underperforming and Peyton Barber looking surprising could go that way, unless that draft a high rookie RB for the lead job

Worst to own? Or the one that you don't even want to try to own?

Because Seattle is so fugly I don't even want one of their backs in my team, but they're not actually that frustrating because I'm not trying to pick any of their guys!

These are good calls. :clap:

Seattle of course for all the reasons already mentioned. Others that don't inspire me are NYJ, and Indy. But any of these we list could change fortunes in the draft, right? Fingers crossed anyway.

I'm not all that excited to own a current Ravens RB...or a Panthers RB...or Packers...but these three teams are all currently offering more attractive RBs than the previously mentioned teams.

As someone who owned the entire backfield (except Darkwa!!!) this year, man this is accurate. What a waste of roster spots.

Hahahaha I remember you chiming in saying you had just dropped Darkwa before the blow-up. I did the same.
Of all the people in your league (or on this forum), how is it that you didn't have Darkwa? :lol:

Before his injury, I thought Chris Carson really showed good potential to be the lead back in Seattle

I thought the same...but then Mike Davis showed up and looked alright as well.
Also...even if you believe in Carson...if you were a GM...and your RB depth looked like this:
Carson: Currently injured and unproven back
Davis: Came on decently but has more of a Doug Martin hot and cold seasons thing than Doug Martin does
Rawls: Seemingly always hurt
Lacy: There could be a weight concern there...maybe...
McKissic: Useful but only proven as a gadget player

Would you draft someone?

It's just a messy backfield to invest in right now, because I think there will be a new face to discuss.

Agree with both posts, and was basically typing the same response Valhalla so I figured I'd quote instead.

If you bought into the 2017 candidates of Lacy/Rawls/Prosise you were left with a steaming pile on your roster. They'll be bringing in another RB or two in the mid/late rounds (or UDFA's), then there will be a camp battle to see how all this shakes out between Carson/Davis/Prosise/Rookies. We likely won't know what the pecking order is until August. Just messy!

Obviously Lacy and Rawls are done in Seattle.

I give teams and coaches entirely too much credit. When they underutilized a guy for years I begin to think "well maybe I was wrong" and then a second later he's the teams bellcow. I thought playing dynasty would solve my problem on being a year too early on players but somehow i'm still too early. Maybe i just don't have enough patience.

You can do all the research in the world and still be stuck with a roster full of turds. Some luck definitely plays into it, as does situation and play calling. I've been doing the dynasty thing for 20 years now and have only hit a home run in maybe 2 or 3 drafts. This past year I passed on Kamara at #16 overall because I felt the backfield situation was too crowded in New Orleans and he'd amount to a 3rd down back. I instead took Joe Williams after reading how Shanahan "couldnt live with himself" if he didnt get him in the draft (i also had Hyde). This was about a week before Williams went on IR. Needless to say we see how that turned out for me!

Mike Davis only got looks because of so many injuries. He's still a retread in my book, so I doubt he figures into their plans long term.

It's gotta be SEA. Not only is there not a clear starter and the OL sucks terribly but there is so much potential for points there which just makes it so damn frustrating. In my 4 player keeper draft I drafted Lacy early-ish and moved him as soon as I could...total wasted pick. There is a long thread on the other forum about if Barkley goes to the Browns...granted, I havent read it but I assume some people are fearful of him going to CLE...I would actually be more concerned if he went to SEA! lol
