free_hernandez 103 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 To get this thread back on topic, what if Stafford who is on fire, drops 3 or 4 td on the first half, they'll probably run the ball a lot on the second half. Link to post Share on other sites

Jaden374 180 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 (edited) im editing my post because it does not contribute to the discussion of Dwayne Washington 2016 Season outlook. Maybe some of the others before me should do the same. Edited October 1, 2016 by Jaden374 Link to post Share on other sites

oswald737 2,965 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Alright Ladies and Gentlefolk, this thread has been way off topic today. This discussion can surely proceed without the use of derogatory terminology and the off topic discussions that it creates. Lets keep this discussion focused on Mr. Washington. Thank you good people of the RW forums. Link to post Share on other sites
CORTEz 1,062 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 My predictions: If the game is close (and/or Lions are up) - 16 Carries, 64 Yards, 1 TD. If Lions are playing from behind - 12 Carries, 50 Yards, 0-1 TD. Link to post Share on other sites

A high end RB2 in standard. Hopefully he can add in perhaps 2 receptions and some receiving yards for PPR purposes. That said, I do agree that if somehow the Bears run up the score, it could be the Theo Riddick show while Washington stares at a Jonathan Stewart-like fantasy line. Link to post Share on other sites

Probably has something to do with Abdullah not getting GL carries while DWash has already locked down that role. Link to post Share on other sites

No, it really isn't GL carries are a big deal, even in PPR. Because of them DWash's ceiling is higher than Abdullah's...especially if Riddick keeps getting less than 2 ypc.

You got one part of that wrong. Dwayne had the goal-line role in game 1 of the regular season. It's more accurate to say Washington kept his initial role and is on his way to adding Abdullah's.

Dwayne Washington will not be putting up those numbers. Even with 62% of the snaps he only had 12 carries. This team doesn't run. This reminds me of Terrance West who was an easy avoid.

boltup15 1,471 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 The range of outcomes for Dwayne Washington on a week to week basis has such a wide spread. Why would you want a guy reliant on TD's for production... he's like Jeremy Hill just plays a lower percentage of snaps on a team that runs less. Link to post Share on other sites
CyberneticGhostOfXMasPast 4,135 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 who wants a freak athlete in a good offense eligible at a wasteland of a position in fantasy football? everyone. great PPR counter point by the way. Link to post Share on other sites

No one knows exactly how Washington will do this week against the Bears. I'll settle for Ezekiel Elliott's numbers from last week v. Chicago. Without the vultured 1 yard TD run, though.
