For comparison, Austin Ekeler is at 32%. The targets will come. I mean, they have to. Well we are still waiting, I mean I guess having Baker get the start is something different but so far it has been the Hyde & Chubb show Link to post Share on other sites

nlm 470 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Depends on if you think Mayfield may open things up for him. ^ Link to post Share on other sites
Chippa 1,335 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I presume Duke will be more involved the more Mayfield gets accustomed to starting Link to post Share on other sites
RJRJRJ 1,069 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Teams will have to start respecting the pass now. To anyone who thinks he's droppable, I wonder who the heck you have on the WW. Link to post Share on other sites

To anyone who thinks he's droppable, I wonder who the heck you have on the WW. How does respecting the pass help him? He gets more rushes? His touch count is very concerning. Even when Baker played last night, it's not as if Duke was being put in there. Baker is going to take shots down field. And Hyde is no slouch either, he can catch. Basically Duke seems to be a handcuff. I don't think anyone wants to drop. But certainly as injuries and upcoming byes, he might be the least productive guy on the bench. In short bench leagues, tough decisions might need to be made. Link to post Share on other sites
Chippa 1,335 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Hue Jackson loved to use Gio Bernard while he was the OC in cincy. Same thing will happen here. Hue's going to get Duke involved at a healthy rate Link to post Share on other sites

In the passing game and rushing game, he's seen a total of 20 targets in 3 games. Averaging a little over 6 combined targets per game isn't what I would call "using him plenty" for a pass-catching RB. Link to post Share on other sites

Hue's going to get Duke involved at a healthy rate By when? He already said last week he wanted to get him more involved, and we saw how that went. You'd think with how much Haley used Bell for dump downs with Ben, Duke would have had a decent year (with Tyrod OR Baker). Link to post Share on other sites

CORTEz 1,071 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Call me crazy...but this feels like an ever-rare "buy-low" moment right now with Mayfield likely sticking as the starting QB. Link to post Share on other sites

Spochy 4 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I think if you have em you, gotta hold for a couple weeks and see how Baker plays. The offense looked energized under him when he came in. I mean unless some big name is dropped or an injury occurs and you have the chance to get the next guy up. the wire seems pretty dry for RBs Link to post Share on other sites
