I’m still shaking my head at all the people with Clyde-Edwards-Helaire as your 1.01 pick, based almost entirely on landing spot alone. I think that many of these folks are new to dynasty fantasy football or have a poor memory. Here’s a list going back only just ten years of running backs who were drafted highly, around the same spot as CEH, and thought to be gifted into “primo landing spots” where there was very little competition for carries. Many of these backs weren’t thought of as elite talents or running back prospects before their respective NFL Drafts. How many of these panned out?
- Rashad Penny, #27 Seattle Seahawks
- TJ. Yeldon, #36 Jacksonville Jaguars
- Ameer Abdullah, #54 Detroit Lions
- Bishop Sankey, #54 Tennessee Titans
- Giovani Bernard, #37 Cincinnati Bengals
- Montee Ball, #58 Denver Broncos
- David Wilson, #32 NY Giants
- Ryan Williams, #38 Arizona Cardinals
- Mikel Leshoure, #57 Detroit Lions
- Ryan Mathews, #12 San Diego Chargers
- Ben Tate, #58 Houston Texans
- Jahvid Best, #30 Detroit Lions
- Donald Brown, #30 Indianapolis Colts
- Beanie Wells, #31 Arizona Cardinals
Do we need to go back another ten years?
Why are you operating under the assumption that CEH isn’t also the most talented RB? Useless pre-draft rankings and mock drafts? I think most at this point most would pencil him in as the most talented pass catcher in the class, which is a significant component of the modern RB skillset. Is it just based on long speed, because CEH had comparable short area times to anyone in the class. Size? There are no elite RB prospects in this class, so why isn’t CEH the most talented when he probably has the most refined skillset for the current league?
