RJ infatuation

[Vcize]

Can someone explain to me when RoJo became the most polarizing rookie RB? Was it during the pre-draft process? Regardless of what I think of him as a prospect, it seems like most of the draft guys were pretty high on him:

Daniel Jeremiah: RB4, #29 overall
Dane Brugler: RB3, #22 overall
Matt Miller: RB4, #43 overall
Lance Zierlein: RB3, #25 overall
Eric Galko: RB2, #8 overall
Jonah Tuls: RB2, #21 overall

During the draft season he was my clear cut RB3 with a top 25 grade overall and I really don't understand why the dynasty community seems to be so down on him and pushing an odd narrative.

A lot of people in the fantasy community soured on him during the combine/pro day as well as when the notion that he was an undersized guy that wasn't much of a receiver started making the rounds.

I agree though, that I've been high on him throughout. Unfortunately the good landing spot prevented him from sliding to me in rookie drafts.

I think it stems from a lot of the fantasy community putting far too much stock into the combine.. as others have said.

I honestly always avoid "combine risers" and I tend to go for those who took a hit from the combine but were still drafted highly.
(BIG reason I do not care for Chubb..)

I just watched jones and saw a guy that’s gonna be a solid nfl back. Not a fantasy stud. I have very little to back that up.

Barber and Jones will platoon this year. I'd like to see Jones add more weight.

I would sell Barber. I might try my barber and a third for his future second or settle for a third.

I wouldn't sell for a 5th, but I think this post points at what to do- package for a better asset, whether it's trading to move up in this year's draft or tip the scales as a throw in.

I wasn't successful where I have him, so I'm holding for the season to start. If I cut him, well, I got him off waivers anyways. And to dust he shall return...

This title makes me laugh. I doubt anyone is infatuated with Rojo more than they were predraft. If you liked him before, you likely still do, and vice versa.

In my leagues he has been one of the biggest RB fallers, RB7/8 draft range. Pretty much the opposite of infatuation.
