The TRUTH About Fantasy RBs in 2018, Part 2

notable addition in the Latavius Murray category like Adrian Peterson they have to bring in somebody because Dalvin Cook over multiple years has proven himself to be injury prone to injury often injured how do you feel Andy because you're you're very bullish on Sony Michelle he finished the season on 28 consistency though he ranked 41 that was this year

54% of the time he busted. And that includes the last of the final stretch of the season where things were kind of in place for the team. Sure. And I think part of my motivation or part of my argument. Only seven receptions for Sony Michelle. No doubt. Yeah. One of the reasons I like Sony Michelle is in the context of who's going to be underdrafted versus overdrafted. I think Sony Michelle because of...

all the different variables that were in place this year. Burkhead and White, an injury to begin the year, injury in the middle of the year, Rob Grankowski's disappearance, all of these different things. I think what you saw in week 16, what you saw in the divisional game is more indicative of the future and their desire to use Sonny Michelle in that way. And so because of that, I believe that there's a value there. That doesn't make him the, you know,

a top five guy, a top 10 guy necessarily. But I just think he's going to be underdrafted because you're going to look at those metrics and you're going to look at him and you're going to say, boy, it was spotty. It was real spotty. And I think the player himself, you know, he's a guy that can get the majority of the work. Sure. And as Tom Brady becomes more and more, you know. Tom Fady. Ooh.

Thank you for filling in that blank. I'll allow it. You know, I just think there's an opportunity, and we'll see how the season progresses. Offseason. Last guy to talk about Leonard Fournet came in at number 40. He was going to be a mess. A mystery. Consistency rank at 25, though. Just imagine if you started the season with Dalvin Cook, Leonard Fournett, and David Johnson. What a beast team. Do you know somebody like that's his team? That was my monster team. I know. I know.

Here's the thing. Leonard Fournett could be a value as well. He also dominated top 16 defenses, 16.58 points per game in games against them. So he stepped up to big competition. Yes. And the latest we have heard the whispers from the bushes that Leonard Fournett and Tom Coughlin and co have cleared the air after the fiasco at the end of the season where he had the suspension. And then because of the suspension and his behavior, quote, behavior.

sit up straight young man oh stop no it's no it's not don't say it's ridiculous it is what's ridiculous that one lander four net is is on the bench that you're you're going to hold you're going to use that in partnership with his one game suspension to remove his guaranteed money you're going to use all of the all the information they have in partnership to have an expectation for your player that you want

And he made a, do you disagree that he made a boneheaded move in his suspension? His suspension was highly egregious. So it's just a, I'm glad they cleared the air. He's a talent. I want to see him succeed. He's not going to. Well, here's the thing. There's some talk about Nick Falls going to Jacksonville. I think that's a high, high probability landing spot for Nick Foote. It'd be good. Could be some opportunity there for a team that only needs one or two pieces. Yeah, I look, there's been.

you know, questions about is Leonard Farnett putting in all the effort? Is he coming to camp looking right? Say what you want. I'm sad for him as a man that he lost his guaranteed money from his contract. He's guaranteed nothing. They could cut him for nothing. But that's a huge motivator. I'd like to see him come in. I'd like to show up in shape, ready to go. Him being in shape, that matters a ton. He's somebody that has not taken that as serious as he should coming into the, to the NFL.

And he's a different player, 10 pounds lighter than he is at his high playing weight. So, yeah, that about wraps it up for the truth of the fantasy running back position. All right.
