Definitely see your side, I like the guy a lot and have him in 2/5 leagues.Mike11 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 21, 2021 4:28 pmObjectively incorrect, he was my RB 3 ahead of Akers and Dobbins because he can catch passes and was extremely versatile. Situation does matter but he's in legitimately the worst situation you can conceivably create and he's a top 5 scoring RB on the year that already has almost 1000 all purpose yards, he has 6 all purpose touchdowns and then on top of it has over 50 receptions on the year too. James Robinson was RB7 on the year last year on a truly awful team, Gibson was between RB11-14 also in a bad situation.honcho55 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 21, 2021 3:59 pm Well, you’ll see it repeated often, and in general terms it’s good advice: talent over situation.
Fact is, situation *does* matter.
Detroit is scoring like 15 points a game. Even if he gets a large part of that pie, even if he elevates the offense, the TDs just aren’t gonna be there. If you wanna bet that that franchise turns a corner, or he gets moved, I’d argue you are doing this wrong.
Really like the talent, have him in a couple spots. Was interchangeable as 1.01 that year for me pre NFL Draft. I dropped him down when he landed in Detroit just like everyone else. Heck of an asset in fantasy and real football, but not in that top tier, and won’t be imo.
Nail in the coffin, CMC's best scoring year, a historic year where he went 1k receiving and rushing that team was 5-11. Your process is a common one on the forums but talented players produce. However you want to cut it he's producing extremely well on a team with no WRs, a horrid QB and a very injured O-Line. So quiet honestly you should go buy (if you can) because the situation will only get better when this team gets other weapons around Swift.
It’s tough to call a dynasty value ranking comment ‘objectively incorrect’ though, imo. For ROS even, I don’t have swift in that elite tier with cmc, kamara, cook, Taylor. Could argue Henry if/when he’s back, ekeler, Zeke, Chubb Barkley as well. He’s just not in that top of the top tier for me. That’s fine if he is for a someone else, can’t call that objectively incorrect by any stretch.
There’s a comparison at WR this year that I think applies somewhat, too. Are we ready to put Deebo in the elite top of the top tier? By his stats this year and his age, if you put Swift there, you must put Deebo there. Likewise I’ve got Deebo just outside that tier also, nice pleasant surprise as what I thought was my WR3-4 on the one team I have him haha.
