Impreza178 6,046 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 How quickly some forget. 5 tds the first 4 games weeks 2,3,4 he went 21,20,13 standard pts. Atl just hit a bit of a speed bump, big comeback in the downpour this week should really boost their confidence. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

First month of the season the McCoy thread was one of the most depressing places on the internet. Now all is forgotten. Freeman will turn it around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just like it’s possible to make every wrong call in blackjack and still win it big. With enough sample size, better informed more skilled players will rise to the top. Wtf was Fuller doing on your waiver wire anyway? He wasn’t available in any of my leagues from 10 teams on up. As far as freeman goes- he’ll be fine and it’s too early to claim he’s a bust. Man, I'm.100 Percent correct. You didn't even refute what I said. You CAN do everything to maximize your chances. BUT it is like Lamont said, you are just giving yourself the most chances in a raffel. Luck is still overwhelmingly the most important factor in winning your league. And you aren't even factoring in that other players in your league have access to the same info and are competing for the same players as you. You don't always get the players that you want, even in auction and especially not in snake. Same goes for FAAB and waiver claims. Like you may give your self a 15 percent or 20 percent chance of winning instead of a 10 lol. The odds are still overwhelmingly not in your favor in season long fantasy football. DFS is different. You'd have a point with DFS and how much of it is based on matchups and what not and the fact that everyone can choose the same players.. And even then, the guys who do well in DFS are the ones investing big bank rolls into it to cover tons of outcomes. There is simply no way to accurately predict what is going to happen over 15 or so weeks of fantasy football. If you think you otherwise, you are just foolish or arrogant. Take your pick.

Reasons: Last season they scored 48 and 33 pts vs Carolina. The division is wide open and Carolina is random in general. Good teams have scored on Carolina.

Not saying it’s a slam dunk but these teams usually produce plenty of fireworks and you can’t just camp on the run with 8/9 in the box vs Atl. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Only the Bucs have any WRs worth mentioning- and Jameis is playing like crap. You shut down the running game and it’s curtains. Can’t do that with Atl. I don’t bench All Pro talents getting 15-25 touches a game. Too many ways to score. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jaw1 787 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 This dude is a huge buy low imo. I have Jordan Howard, Doug Martin, Aaron Jones, CJ Anderson and I much rather own Freeman if nothing more because he is in a better overall offense and gets similar number of touches and since there isn't as big a risk of the team falling behind as some of these other guys who could fall victim to gameflow. His shoulder is obviously bugging him but if you are sitting at top of the standings and looking to bulk up for playoffs I think he'd be a great value add target. NO twice and TB during playoffs I think are attractive potential high scoring games that will be attractive. Additionally, Ryan has been playing well under the standard he has set in previous years so if he can get closer to the player he has proven to be historically this entire offense gets a big jolt.

Tugginroot 971 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 2015 when he finished as the number 1 rb overall seems so long ago now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bastardo! 1,475 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 He should have had easy touchdowns each of the last two weeks, but the Atlanta coaching staff refuses to run the ball at the goal-line. Thus, he is now an RB2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ragrag 1,494 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 (edited) He had the black contact jersey on again today, but said his shoulder is fine. Hope he can get in a full practice tomorrow. Fortunately they're one of the early games on Sun so a last minute deactivation should be easy to deal with. Edited November 2, 2017 by ragrag Quote Link to post Share on other sites
owenmills 5,326 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Makes sense they wouldn't want him taking practice hits with a tender shoulder. What's the point? He's playing Sunday Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Br0kenB 1,943 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I have him on my bench in favor of Mixon and Peterson. Not happy but I'm not happy with the way he has been used. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
