I chase volume. I do NOT chase touchdowns
They are about as unsticky of a stat as it gets and extremely hard to predict year to year
Also you conveninently leave out that Edwards was the backup for the listed games
JK Dobbins is not there
Kareem Hunt was the RB10 based off a ridiculously high TD rate. Those will never be the types of players I go after the next year (WRs or RBs)
And if you want to go the volume route - Hunt had 198 carries (good for 11th) and like 240 total touches, I don’t think you have a grasp on how he was utilized in that offense, him and Chubb essentially split the share of offensive touches when they were both healthy, another factor working in Hunts favor as I mention in my original post that Chubb is injury prone and Hunt becomes a top tier RB if he gets hurt.
And let’s be honest, even though the Ravens are extremely run heavy, Jackson is the de facto RB1 in that offense and in a best case scenario, Edwards gets like 200 carries and catches a handful of balls, so Hunt is proven and we know his role, and its a good role that produced an RB10 finish last year, Edwards role is still a question mark. There’s no way Edwards comes close to Hunt imho.
And yet Hunt was useless last year when he didn't score TDs. Maybe the most TD dependent "RB10" finish I've ever seen
Except Chubb got hurt and Hunt....produced the same as before Chubb's injury
No idea where you're getting the Jackson RB1 comment. Yeah there are games where he gets a ton of carries--but he is in no way a goal line specialist or vulture like Cam Newton
RB1 on the highest volume rushing offense in the league beats the TD dependent RB2 on an offense that IMO is due for greater pass volume (something we already saw in the 2nd half of last season)
Gus because he gets red zone opportunities, in which case you should like Hunt more, or you don’t like him, you can’t pick and choose. But since you don’t like TDs let’s actually check a few facts.
Jackson had the most rushing attempts on the team last year, he will have the most this year as well, he is the de facto RB1, also he had more rushing TDs than Edwards so he 100 percent cuts into Edwards opportunity share and upside. I don’t understand how you can say otherwise.
The Ravens had 555 rushing attempts last year, split between three primary rushers, the Browns had 495 and only two primary rushers. Whether you like it or not Edwards is in an RBBC situation, I’m guessing he gets somewhere in the range of 200 carries this year, Hunt probably gets less but is heavily involved in the passing game, I expect in the range of 40 catches.
Kareem Hunt is a more talented back with a defined role, he also catches passes so he adds value there, Edwards has like 20 career receptions.
Kareem Hunt had 240 touches and got 11 TDs, his TD rate was lower than several top RBs, his adjusted touchdown rate according to fantasy pros this year is 10 so he had one touchdown more than he was supposed to, quite the regression!
Again, give me a know commodity any day with significantly more upside, Hunt, not close. Come back with facts when you find them.
