Edgeraid 217 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I think he's worth a hold but I would do what I can to avoid having to roll him out there again until we have a better idea of what that offense is actually going to do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Expect 30-45 yards rushing, 0-1 catch, and pray for a TD, basically. In fact with the exception of Week 6 (SF) and Week 11 (NO) this will be my official projection for Washington's #1 RB pretty much every game between here and Thanksgiving.

mortman212 324 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 yeah he's looking like Jeremy Hill with less TD's Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unless they wise up and give Perine a shot. He's a guy that can run with power, make some cuts and catch. They wouldn't be so one dimensional if they started working him in. He clearly has more upside to me than Kelly. I just don't get the love affair the coaching staff has with Kelly. Yeah, he was better than M Jones....Well, that isn't saying much considering Jones can't even make a roster anywhere else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BigStuck 339 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I'd imagine its not a large fracture if they're not sure? I'd think an xray would reveal if it was a clear fracture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ST. STEVEN 4,147 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Day to Day. He's tough he will get back out there pretty quick. Looked great prior to going down and Perine did nothing to capitalize. Rob is gonna be hungry- Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daethfromabove1979 874 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I've fractured a rib and it's pretty painful, Fat Rob is tough as nails if he's going back out there next week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calibar 181 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 IMO dude has always looked decent, simply the type of guy that needs volume to get going and grind it out. Issue was with Gruden going non-logically pass heavy in most games but apparently realized this week after watching some film that you indeed need to run the ball to have success in the NFL. Hopefully he'll make the same decision going forward Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BallinOnnaBudget 345 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 He was just dropped in my PPR pay league, with a 6person bench. I'd have to drop someone like Howard (Chicago), Abdullah or Sproles, so I probably won't , but it's definitely tempting seeing him on the wire.... at some point the Washington offense has to do something right?

atdharris 288 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Any updates on him for this week? I want to play him in the Flex, but if he's hurt I guess it's smart not to. He looked good last week when he was playing. Too bad Thompson vultured the TDs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hope he fails so Perine can become a flex from my bench. I don't really think that happens though. He hasn't shown much. If Kelley sits this week and Perine impresses maybe but otherwise it should be his unless he begins to fumble. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Too bad Thompson vultured the TDs Think I saw somewhere he was in pads at practice today. I own both Kelly and Perine and not playing either one at the moment. I just want one of them to step up with some production although I'm quietly rooting for Perine. I just think Perine has the chance to be a little more explosive.

He's 1/2 my guy. Have him in one league not in another. But he did just get dropped in my PPR league. So I've considered grabbing him but haven't pulled the trigger.... Because even in my other league where I have him, I don't like him much haha I've Never had success with WAS RBs... I missed out on Alf the year he went bananas...

stevekerr01 109 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 ROBERT KELLEY - RB Washington Redskins Kelley (ribs) is practicing Wednesday, Nora Princiotti of The Washington Times reports. Added 2:28 pm (EST Redskins coach Jay Gruden initially feared Kelley suffered a broken rib when the running back had to make an early exit from Sunday's 27-20 win over the Rams. It turns out Kelley escaped with a rib cartilage injury, which at least gives him a shot to avoid any further missed time. He vastly outplayed Samaje Perine in Sunday's, piling up 78 yards on only 12 carries, while the rookie needed 21 totes to reach 67 yards. The drastic split in efficiency serves as confirmation of Kelley's role as Washington's lead runner, assuming he's available for Sunday's game against Oakland. His ability to practice Wednesday puts him on the right path, even if he ends up being listed as a limited participant on the official injury report. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calibar 181 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Rotoworld back at it with the unjustified hate on Fat Rob, couldn't help but to smile at this nonsense : "With Samaje Perine and Chris Thompson's impressive performances against the Rams last week, it's unclear how this backfield is going to shake out."

I didn't catch the game but was Perine really "impressive"? His 21 carries for 67 yards (3.19ypc) doesn't scream impressive to me, especially considering Rob piled up 78 yards on 12 carries (6.5 ypc) in the same game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TX Babe Ruth 1,278 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I can see why Rob is on the wire, the entire offense is stinking it up. I watched Rob play and he is explosive but seems to run like he hit a brick wall. It drives me crazy, because that first burst is so dynamic and eye catching and then bump smack into a wall. He needs volume to get his juices flowing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gimme the ball 192 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 (edited) I had Kelley last year and he was a pleasant surprise. He is not explosive, but CONSISTENTLY gets 4 yards+ per carry. And the coaches feed him, so it translates to a nice 80/90 yardage game, or at least it did last season. He's a bruiser and I think that's what they like about him. Doesn't get a lot of negative plays and doesn't really fumble. He has a pretty solid floor assuming he stays healthy, but also has a pretty limited ceiling. I doubt you'll ever see him getting 150+ yards or 2 TDs in a game. As a RB3 or a flex, there's much worse plays at the position. And Perine looked like absolute hot garbage. Suddenly a defense that Fat Rob was gashing for 6+ YPC was holding Perine to 3 yards. Literally the opposite of capitalizing on the opportunity. If Kelley had stayed healthy in that game, he would have EASILY had a 100+ yard game and be a top pickup this week.

Just like he probably would have had 150 & 1-2 last week if he stayed upright. Those are rare exceptions to the rule, but certainly possible.
