Hes gonna ball

Nah, not unless they start throwing at least say, 26 times per game.

I am far from a Watson truther and I own no shares. I just don’t see how they give him that contract and trade those picks to continue to be top 5 in rushing. It COULD happen, but if it does that is some gross mismanagement of resources.

I just don't care, to be honest. I do think there are sort of 2 factions of "Watson owners", though. I think it's funny so many want to defend the guy because they roster him on their FF team. I'm not talking the people who roster him, and just deal with it...they say, hey it's FF, and I don't know these guys, and such. I'm talking the people who clearly come around to justify his actions to make themselves feel OK about what he did. The ones that actively engage to try and justify their own roster decision on it, and actually borderline berate those, often in a passive aggressive manner, those who may take a different tone on how they manage their FF roster.

Stepanski is still the HC, right? The guy whose Browns ranked 4, 4, and 5 in the NFL in rushing attempts in his 3 years there? The same guy who in his one year as OC in MIN before he became a HC in CLE had the 4th ranked team in rushing attempts? And they still have Chubb at RB? And now they’re going to hold Chubb to 12 carries a game?

Um, okay.

The same organization and team that just guaranteed a QB's entire contract for $230M.

They don't have any incentive to do anything else except put Watson in the best position they can to put up numbers. I don't think it means Chubb is going to get 10 carries, because he's still an elite back with a good offensive line, but again...they don't have any choice right now. They have to justify the contract. It's completely guaranteed and immovable.

FF is good people. I think his comment was worded purposefully to not imply it towards anyone directly. Remember, it's fantasy football. Our nerd escape from the world. :grouphug:

Ok, but why you think he'll ball? You ignoring how he played last year? Or, you think he'll continue to be inefficient he'll just get tons of volume?

[MFundercover]

He's a very talented football player, at a prime age physically. A full offseason program leading up to a week 1 start will do wonders for him.

Hes gonna ball.

[wickerkat1212]

I moved both of my Watson shares.

RB-Premium League

Watson + Jeudy + EMoore + 2024 1st + 2025 1st (mid to late picks)
for 1.01 + Jimmy G + some garbage WRs

Superflex

Watson
for Cousins + DJM + 2024 1st (late)

I agree. I own zero shares and my assessment of him is that he’s a douche but I’m looking to acquire if the price is right.

Extrapolation be damned, but if you do for Watson's 2022 stats over 17 games, he'd have finished as QB13 ahead of Rogers. He's a solid floor play with upside, locked into a starting role for the foreseeable future.

[Dynasty DeLorean]

Wow, finished ahead of a guy who had a broken phalange. Stud.

[MFundercover]

Finished ahead of most starting QBs after a 2 year layoff*

Ball.

[killer_of_giants]

he'll uncover his full potential and reach for that bottom (half of QB1s...)

This is low key sexual

There was nothing low-key about it
