This is exactly the strategy to take. No reason to pick a top 50 RB. You're capped at <50 points. Meanwhile if the 120th guy here just gets a few hundred yards, they're probably going to earn you 50+ points regardless.honcho55 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 26, 2023 8:02 am interesting exercise. At first glance I thought, meh, this will just be 3 solid backups/rookies that are behind whatever starters get hurt. Then I thought, let’s take a peek at who woulda won this game last year.
I do fear the “winners” are gonna be guys who are projected super low (120-150) and tally up like 350 yards and end the season as the 50-60th. Not a terribly useful find necessarily.
Last year ‘winners’ of this game that were (at least somewhat) fantasy relevant: d’onte foreman, Tyler algeir, Pacheco, Jeff Wilson, Kenyan drake, Chuba Hubbard, Jaylen warren, Zach moss, lat Murray.
You woulda got decent marks for picking guys like pollard, ETN, jam Williams, along with actual usable fantasy production, but not win this game.
So. If it kinda plays like last year, looks like you want rookies or younger guys that are settling into a career fantasy RB3 role, in more open backfields, and don’t bother anyone projected top 30, and be real hesitant using a guy in the top 50.
All that nonsense said, I’ll take:
Pierre Strong
Ty Chandler
Zach Evans
