Foreman

Higher upside. Ekeler is not lead back material and will always be behind Gordon.

Ekeler. He may never be a starter, but doesn't have to be to continue producing. Not sure what to make of Foreman, especially after that injury.

Give me ekeler. He's producing as a backup currently and if Gordon were to go down he has some strong upside. Foreman is still a question mark post injury. I do not believe in miller what so ever but as of now it's hard to know what foreman will be moving forward.

I think we will see what Houston expects out of Foreman in the next few weeks. If I have to choose right now it’s easily Ekler with him producing as a back up. Foreman can be a lead back if he returns to form like he started to show last season.

Foreman is coming back from an injury that 99% of RB's do not recover from. And those that do are never the same again. Take Ekeler.

Even if Foreman was coming back from a less serious injury like a torn ACL I would still be firmly on the Ekeler side. Look, he's behind a true 3down workhorse yet he is going into week 6 being more efficient than Kamara was last year and its not a fluke. The dude has some serious burst and knows how to run great routes. I'd be surprise if he doesn't end up as a top 20 RB this year and if Gordon goes down then Ekeler immediately becomes an RB1.

Foreman lacks the skills to be a starting RB in the league. Both are backups. Ekeler is better in that role.
If you can't leave at least a 20% tip, you can't afford to eat out.

I'd like to see the math on how you get 99% of anything where the sample size is 5.

And if we get rid of guys that were already a half step from being out of the league anyway, the sample size is basically 1.
