2018 Running Back Report

[Balzac]

I am going to hijack the RB report from here on out. I've pretty much nailed it 3 years in a row. I even went as far as to say that Wilkins would have more value than Penny & Jones year 1 and should be flipped for a profit immediately before he disappears year 2 and beyond. You know how much flak and laughter I got for that call?

Yes, the post was edited on Sept 30th, but it was due to a spelling error I found. If you read the next page you can see the rankings in quotes on May 30th several times that shows my ability to accurately project these guys 4 months before a snap was even played.

Again, I'm going to take over your report DD.

I suck at WR, TE, QB.... someone else can do that.

hahahaha!

Why are you patting yourself on the back? Clearly missed on Lindsay, as did pretty much everyone. The guy who posted about him December pre draft deserves some kudos though.

Henry many not be fantasy successful, but he still cleared the mark for the model. The model doesnt day fantasy relevant, it counts 1k yards rushing seasons...

My only thing with this is whether injury is considered or not. For example, Marlon Mack had 908 rushing yards in 12 games. If he wasn't out with a hamstring for 4 games, he easily clears the 1000 yard mark. Devonta Freeman as well a few seasons ago where he missed 2 games but would've come close and that would've given him three 1000 yard seasons.

I must have missed this. No, injury isn't taken into account. You could point to individual scenarios here and there but I feel like at the end of the day it all averages out.

Ignoring the nonsense of the last couple pages and moving forward, from all early indications it appears as if this RB draft class is going to be quite underwhelming. There is one positive though... less work for me, lol

You need a breather with the 2020 & 2021 classes coming up.

I'll make a new RB Report thread in about a week or so, but I just wanted to let everyone know that on paper this class is a total disaster. I need to double check everything but from what I can tell there are only 1-2 late-round/UDFA RB's from Tier 3 and nothing else in this class. Just figured I'd get the information out there in case anyone was waiting on it.

Good thing I took the under on .5. I thought Henderson might come close, but on paper this RB class is really poor.

I bet the top 3 of 2019 (Jacobs, Sanders, Monty) will score just as many points in 2019 as the top 3 from 2018 (Barkley, Penny, Chubbster, taking out Guice who was injured) did in 2018.

Hows that for planting a flag. And I'd bet that if you took Guice, Penny and Chubb for 2019 and the 2019 trio (Jacobs, Sanders and Monty), the 2019 trio will outscore the 2018 guys in 2019.

How is that for planting some flags.

Thank you so much! Lots of great info around draft time this year. Love it.

Glad to see I’m not the only one who thinks this rb class has some great potential. Count me in on this post. I feel like this group is going to surprise a lot of people.

The top 3 could match their production this year, though that's not that big of an accomplishment considering Chubb was a starter for half the season. Long-term, though, those three combined won't match Saquon alone.

[Dookmarriot]

I wouldn't call the behavior as toxic, it is more like a 5 year old that got his ball taken away. Moving on

Yeah. Pretty low bar these days to be a DLF writer I guess. Not the kind of writing I'd care to pay for.

If this is your schtick, maybe apply over at Barstool?

I would not be shocked if there's an RB1 out of the top rookies you listed this season.

However, I would bet against any of those players being elite RB1's long-term in the NFL, which is what DD's Report looks to find.

I took this as partly tongue in cheek and wholly in good nature...
