Mark, how do you view McCoy in that regard? I own him and he is doing great, but I have this inner sense of hesitation for similar reasoning. Any thoughts?
Maybe I'm missing something here. But Forte is number six in the league in rush yards so far this season. And only 3 yards behind McCoy. And he's averaging 5.4 yards per carry. What's wrong with that?
Absolutely nothing wrong with that. It's hard to explain... Have you ever had a player than no matter how well they are performing, or how high they are ranked, you just can't bring yourself to completely buy in? I'm an owner, I think he is an elite RB and it's not like he will ever be on an owners bench... I just have a mild hesitation like I am being fooled slightly by smoke and mirrors... it's a horrible analogy... I'm trying to think of an example of a player in recent memory.

McCoy plays in a better offense and just looks more explosive. i can't explain it but i traded off Forte after a few yrs because he was so up and down. i just don't think forte is an elite talent. i realize CJ is also up and down on a weekly basis but were talking about 1-3 rb spots difference in my rankings.

I think I was reacting to the comment that he gets most of his yards thru the passing game. That's not really accurate.
