Research is doable....but a time machine isn’t.

 

the man to own in philly is Ajayi,  with clement a matchup dependent flex play.  If Ayajis bad knees flare up, Clement becomes a rb2 or better. 

Obviously I'm not saying to draft Sproles before Ajayi, but not much is going to change in Philly.  Peterson doesn't use a workhorse back.  Clement will get a bigger workload, Sproles will definitely be involved, Ajayi will have a slightly bigger workload and be much less efficient.

Sustaining a 5.8 yards per carry average with the Eagles this season is not very likely.

This situation is going to be similar to LeVeon Bell. Remember Bell didn’t do to great his rookie year and he became an afterthought, then lit it up the following year and helped win many leagues... and since then has been a consensus 1st round pick. Mixon is going to light it up this year and be a workhorse. Don’t miss out because this will be the cheapest you get him after this year. 

 

Except Le'Veon Bell had 1,260 yards and 8 TDs with 45 receptions in 13 games as a rookie and was the #9 overall PPR RB on a points-per-game basis.

 

Mixon had 913 yards and 4 TDs with 30 receptions in 14 games as a rookie and was the #31 overall PPR RB on a points-per-game basis.

Those aren't the same?

Le’Veon bell also had over 300 carries and was the starter pretty much from when the season started. His only competition was Isaac Redman who ended up being released. Joe Mixon (178 carries) didn’t get his opportunity till later in the season and the team was a mess and the o-line as well.

That only goes to further the point of the last few posts in this thread. 

 

Mixon and Leveon really don't have anything in common for their year 1, and it's ridiculous to draw the comparison to make the point of "See...Mixon is gonna be good now....cause Leveon and stuff."

Were talking in terms of the leap that was taken. LeVeon didn’t light it up his rookie year. but the following year when the o-line improved and offense he took a tremendous leap. He was over looked and for those who drafted him probably won their leagues for the production he gave based on where he was drafted.  I can see Joe Mixon taking a huge leap this year as a workhorse and showing he has elite skills.

I guess, if you think being a top 10 PPR RB as a rookie isn't "lighting it up."  I doubt if he was "overlooked" after 1260/8 in 13 games, either--at least not by anyone paying attention.

 

And it STILL doesn't have anything to do with Mixon.

Leveon had a 3.05 ADP his second season. FWIW

Axe Elf is never one to blow his own horn, but the year that Bell was a rookie, some guy recruited me to pilot a team in a 16 team dynasty league during the month before the season while the actual owner was on vacation.  It was a pretty crappy team; about the only asset he was holding was Jimmy Graham.  I traded Graham for the right to draft Le'Veon Bell and picked up Julius Thomas to replace Graham and everyone laughed, saying I had just ruined whatever shred of hope the guy had left.

 

In retrospect, it was just another example of Axe Elf's fantasy football brilliance, as Thomas went on to be a top 3 TE the next two years, and Bell worked out pretty nicely as well.

And you say you don't like dynasty leagues. 

 

Nonsense. Get in there and mix it up.

Did I ever tell you guys about the time I traded josh Norman for Zeke and the right to f--- my friends hot gf? Just another genius move made whatever tf my username is on here

In fairness, you axually ARE one to blow your own horn.    What I don’t hear is any kind of perspective gained from your disastrous 2016 season.  

 

Entertaining-   But potentially devastating for those who don’t realize Axe Elf is schtick.

I’ve seen how this one ends.  You’re leaving out the part of the story where, after that bold move, you then traded Zeke for Devante Parker and went ahead and on draft day you boned your friend instead of his hot gf on a hunch. Because you’d self aggrandizing preseason talk doesn’t axually materialize into real results and then you disappear from this forum like the anti-Bobby Fischer of fantasy football.

f--- he’s onto me

[Dreams And Dwightmares 3,180]

What's going on here? 

 

Is panther also Axe Elf or is this a big joke I am not privy to? 

 

This is more interesting to me currently than whatever player's thread I found myself in.

If you have to ask, you don’t play enough fantasy football.  Pretty sure Axe Elf said he played in 81 leagues 2 years ago.  So that’s probably a good starting point for those among us who want to get really serious about this.

Axe elf always brags about his expert trades and predictions and what not so I was just making fun of him by posting a very real trade I made in one of my leagues

Man I totally missed the rest of this thread. Some great s--- here. So basically Corey clement is the new joe mixon who is last year’s ajayi who is about to be caught smoking blunts with Bell? Did I get that right?

Close. Darius Guice is the new Joe Mixon who is last year’s Jerick McKinnon and next year’s Royce Freeman, and it’s Robbie Anderson who was caught, but he wasn’t smoking blounts with Bell, he was caught breaking into Antonio Brown’s Rolls Royce stealing blounts for Blount.

Thanks for all the analysis and insight, guys. Great to enter the Mixon thread and be instantly transported back to middle school.
