Still leaves a sizeable chunk for Akers. Just not what people paid for him.TheNuts wrote: ↑Mon Sep 28, 2020 3:45 am Akers ypc in college was always a red flag.

Henderson though, he looked every but as explosive as he did in college. The bigger question, how did the Rams basically give up on him so fast? Why did they burn a 2nd on Akers? Coaches sometimes do not realize the talent on their own team.
I wush I would have pushed to pick up a few more Henderson shares, but I did add one more before the game. Edmonds and a late 2021 2nd for henderson
But like, any team with that quality of OL who takes RB and WR so high in a draft without a 1st round pick has serious managerial problems.

Re: Darrell Henderson
I agree that Akers could still come out ahead, definitely. But Akers big strength in many evaluations was his ability to produce behind a terrible FSU line. I'd be worried that they are showing their future plans regarding where they will invest their capital, especially since they don't have a 2021 1st.FantasyFreak wrote: ↑Mon Sep 28, 2020 4:07 amBeing pro active.

Re: Darrell Henderson
So in a thread where Henderson was given his last rites prematurely people are already doing the same for Akers?
You guys.....
Maybe redraft forums are for you.

Or maybe, it's that after a year+ of Darrell Henderson being a running joke on the forum because of his value being all "hype and situation", it's Darrell Henderson's job to lose because he earned it. Also, google hyperbolic.

Re: Darrell Henderson
Henderson+Akers=Freeman+Coleman from a few years ago. Both should be usable in fantasy when they're healthy and brown isn't vulturing.

Re: Darrell Henderson
brown will keep vulturing for this season at least, looks like they trust him in critical situations.
akers didn't look good at all, head down and hope to find a hole... but it's one game, without much of a preseason.

Re: Darrell Henderson
Henderson looks explosive this year. I think much of it is probably due to the Oline and Goff looking better, but he's definitely outproducing Brown and Akers.
This will likely continue to be a rotation of all three backs. They clearly saw something they liked in each of them. That said, if Henderson keeps rolling like he is there is no way he doesn't keep seeing the field on a consistent basis.
As many did, i probably wrote him off too soon...but i never dumped him for pennies. I think the major disconnect with these guys is their value. Either player in the mid 1st was a stretch.
