A practice squad level talent can put up respectable numbers behind Dallas's Oline. There is no need to spend big money/draft capital on a running back. They may be one of the most important offensive pieces, but they are just so dirt cheap, and if you have the right pieces around them Alfred Morris can do well. Not a single team that has paid their running back big bucks has had it go in their favour, except maybe Zeke but he is still on his rookie deal anyways. Bell, DJ, Gurley, D Freeman; not a single one has been terribly relevant since getting paid.

Re: Derrick Henry? What gives??
RB is the most expendable position in the NFL. I can't think of a team that suffered long-term because they let a good RB walk. I wouldn't be opposed to spending a late first on one, because you get the value of those 4 +1 deals and a franchise tag if you really want to. But, more times than not it won't be worth it. Teams win SB's because of the QB, OL, and DL. If you look at the best RB's in the league:
If you build a good offensive line and develop the right scheme, you can churn out Pro Bowl-caliber years from late round RB's all day. The Shanahans have made a living doing this. Dallas must not have faith in their offensive scheme to give Zeke that much money.

He's out today for a game the Titans need badly (and fantasy owners need more), his bill of health isn't so clean now.Lord_Varys wrote: ↑Tue Dec 10, 2019 6:19 amUnlike DJ, Henry has a clean bill of health entering his contract year.bjd5211 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 09, 2019 6:37 pm I remember when DJ was going to age well because of his "lack of mileage".... It's an over rated "stat" and has no real bearing on anything. No one in the league has higher mileage than AP and Gore, and they've been playing very well for their age for a while.
Forget who said it in the Devy thread ... but mileage on a car doesn't matter so long as the maintenance record is clean.

Re: Derrick Henry? What gives??
The flip side is early/1st round RBs may be among the positions to be most certain to "hit". Mark Ingram may not be Barkley, but if you could get that level talent every 4 years, I bet teams like San Fran would be happy.

Re: Derrick Henry? What gives??
Well Nick Chubb was going to be the NFL leading rusher until Henry exploded for another monster game Week XVII - finishing with 1540 yards. Thats the most since Ezekiel Elliotts rookie year in 2016, but only ranks in as 70th best ever in the NFL. In non-ppr leagues he was likely RB2?

Re: Derrick Henry? What gives??
Think he's just pointing out the facts. 70th best isn't a bad thing, but reminds us of how there aren't many 1 man bellcows in the league anymore. Henry is the closest to it this year and still didn't sniff the best ever.jetsfan5757 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 30, 2019 9:27 pmSeriously throwing shade, or being funny?ArrylT wrote: ↑Mon Dec 30, 2019 8:57 pm Well Nick Chubb was going to be the NFL leading rusher until Henry exploded for another monster game Week XVII - finishing with 1540 yards.
