Yeah I was thinking the same thing. A polished RB can step into a new system and perform quicker than any other position in the NFL. CEH is pretty polished, as is Dobbins and Swift. Not worried about any of those 3 guys.

Agreed. While I'd prefer my RBs to get an off season tuneup, I'm not as concerned as I am for many other positions. Especially the top handful of RBs.

So then how much do you guys think Helaire is going to outperform Taylor by as a rookie?

But you are worried about JT going to Indy? Why? You are not at all concerned about CEH's horrible pass pro, and his lack of ability to get reps to improve it for year 1? The Seahawks year 1 tried to get Penny as many reps as possible with that, knowing it was a weakness his rookie year. CEH won't get the same opportunity.

The pass protection was exactly my thought. It's not a long term issue for me, but for a rookie who struggled in pass protection in college, and will then have an abridged off-season program, I think concern about his immediate production is reasonable.

As much as I love CEH and the Chiefs, I would pump the brakes on any high end production right out of the gates. Their offensive scheme is fairly complex and it might take some time for CEH to get up to speed. Williams has been well versed in that system for a couple of years now so I could totally see him starting the year off as the starter with CEH being brought along slowly until he gets a handle on the job. But this is dynasty and I'm in it for the long haul. CEH will be the man before the season is over and I still hope I can land him on a few of my teams.

When you have Sammy, Tyreek, Hardman/Robinson out wide, Kelce from the TE position and a RB running a wheel route, you only need 5 blockers!

CEH wont be asked to block.

I believe Kareem Hunt was third on the depth chart behind Spencer Ware and _____________ and didn't work with the 1s up until he played the Patriots week 1 in 2017, where he erupted with a huge game. Not saying it'll happen with CEH, just that it's happened before.

And I'm not terribly worried about pass protection since he's so dangerous out of the backfield as a pass catcher. If he wasn't such a threat through the air then I'd be more negative towards CEH.

JT needs to work on so much more than CEH until he's ready. I've explained it all before, just check my JT thread. Indy is a great spot for him.

You'll have to forgive us if we're confused; it would appear your thoughts on JT were a bit scattered. Here's what you said about him before the draft:

dlf_mikeh wrote: Wed Apr 08, 2020 7:25 am 4) Jonathan Taylor* (highest ceiling but lowest floor. High risk/reward.)
dlf_mikeh wrote: Wed Apr 08, 2020 7:25 am *If you're chasing 'best possible player' and you don't mind risk, this should be your pick at 1.01. I have him in my "I would draft" category but I also think he has the highest bust potential of that group.
And here's what you said after the NFL Draft:
dlf_mikeh wrote: Sat Apr 25, 2020 9:51 am CEH landed amazingly well. Dobbins landed well, JT in a good spot, Swift not so much.

All 4 guys deserve consideration at 1.01 tbh. CEH/Dobbins are my top guys. JT/Swift are just a tad behind them.

I'd still draft Swift over JT simply because I don't want to take the gamble on JT. He has more to learn than anyone else and I'd rather have something closer to a finished product like Swift. However, I love JTs coaching staff... that's a huge plus.

CEH
Dobbins
Swift
JT

I guess that's my ranks, but that's just based on immediate production.

So pre-draft you ranked him as 1.01, RB4, and outside your top 6 rookies, and then post draft you've had him 1.04, 1.03, and 1.01.

I'm not sure who this is supposed to be useful for, but again, thank you for doing it.

Don't care what anyone says about his pass pro, dude was drafted to run routes and be explosive. I'd be surprised if there was a RB in this class that runs more routes or averaged more yards per route run than CEH next year. I would be surprised if he doesn't get at least 50-60 percent of the backfield touches next year. I'd be surprised if that doesn't translate to considerable fantasy success.

According to PFF, Kareem Hunt was the second worst pass blocker among all RBs in his rookie year (just behind Christian McCaffrey, who had the single worst pass blocking efficiency rating among all rookies in the decade leading up to his rookie season, interestingly enough). Didn't prevent either of them from scoring very respectable amounts of fantasy points, I'd be surprised if it prevents CEH.

Spencer Ware tore his ACL in a mid/late August preseason game when Hunt was a rookie. Charcandrick West was the other vet on the roster competing with Hunt. Hunt was steadily gaining ground on Ware before the injury though, IIRC. Hunt had made a couple of eye-popping PP blocks in PS games prior to that also.
