I think their reasoning was to get Andy Dalton some confidence going forward. Maybe it was the coaching staff trying to "punish" Zeke for his fumbles. Definitley was hard to watch until I saw the Cowboys fan crying his poor little eyes out. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Definitley was hard to watch until I saw the Cowboys fan crying his poor little eyes out. Not because they were down by over 2 scores with less than a Qt to go? That cant be it. Or the fact this coach has no confidence in his offense and wants to be cute Edited October 20, 2020 by JacobThunder15 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arguing whether he's RB1 or RB4 or the RB8 going forward is essentially pointless as it's agreed by all that he'll be very productive and touch the ball like an RB1. Go ahead and legislate his upside all you want. If he stays this busy in the passing game I think you could argue he has more upside. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cleanface 701 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Zeke is the least of my worries. 💪 ROS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SuperMarksBros. 184 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 He's on pace for over 60 catches and that was mostly with Dak throwing downfield. Dalton HEAVILY targeted him and pollard last night. This should be fun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But McCarthy isn’t known for his creativity. Your best player should never be relegated to pass pro in that situation. Figure out a way to make him an option to get the ball.

That is inexcusable. Edited October 21, 2020 by BGDDYKWL Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And how many guys actually put up 40 PPR points? Lol. Mixon, Henry, Kamara, Kittle, close calls (30-40) were Mike Davis, A Jones, Mahomes, Rex Burkhead. Plenty of people have won guys their week single handedly. Zeke has contributed a safe 20 pts per game with no real boom game to think of. He's an RB1, but do you ever see him breaking away between tackles like he used to before the contract extension? Hes an RB1 because of volume, not effort. The fumbles are an example of that 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The fumbles are an example of that A player that puts up 20 points a week for 5 weeks is inherently more valuable than a player that puts up 40 points one week, 10 points another, 5 points another, etc. even if both guys finish the 5 games having scored 20 points per game on average. Fantasy football is about predictability - the more certainty you have about a player’s output the better positioned you are to set a starting lineup. The reason Zeke is so valuable is because he has a VERY high floor. He is predictable. Compare that to guys like Mixon and (LOL) Burkhead. Most players are boom and bust which is why consistency is so amazing and why Zeke goes top 3 every year. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Most players are boom and bust which is why consistency is so amazing and why Zeke goes top 3 every year. While I agree he is incredibly consistent, given the high games these WRs are having this year at any given moment, you need a guy with a high ceiling as well and thats why Kamara and CMC is over him. Based on fantasy outlook, Henry could also make the case by the end of the year. If you have defenses and kickers in your league as well you are having guys with 25 pts at Kicker every other week. And having an RB1, with this kinda consistency, you better have some risk somewhere else because otherwise youll be good but not great going into teams who have guys that pop off. Im not considering Burkhead, he just asked who went for 40 and I gave you who has, and thats the realm of why I dont have Zeke at 1. Burkhead should not be getting 40, but he won ppl a week having 18 more pts than Zeke that week Edited October 21, 2020 by JacobThunder15 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Players dont use their number 1 pick at which some people had him for their consistency. Any time you pick zeke you know, okay hes getting me 18-20 but hes not the upside of the Kamara, the CMC, saquon when hes healthy, Cook.
