So Fournette is 4th, above everyone not from UGA. Got it.
Going strictly by YPC is retarded. Clearly Henry is the best RB in the league, not 13th.

Swift and Michel are averaging like 5 carries a game because they’re not good enough to demand more touches. Clyde and Henry are both averaging over 20 a game.

What is amazing is that Swift and Michel are doing that with trash teams. Well done young men

A player needs 25 carries to qualify. LeNerd has 24.
Lol Sony Michel and Swift both have 26 carries.

Clyde also had more yards in his last game than each have had all season


Oops no sorry- Michel has 173 yards on the entire season, Clyde had 161 last week.

I like Jonathan Taylor and jk dobbins too. Clyde's definitely been the best rookie though. Hes second in the league in rushing yards and has a good bit of recieving yards.

This years rookie wideouts are killing it. Idk who's having a better year chase claypool or justin Jefferson

Even as Bama fan, I love E-H. I think he is almost the prototype of the modern RB: 5'8"-5'10, 205-215, quick and agile in the hole, great athlete (39" vj is elite). Henry is a freak of nature, Drake is a blur and Jacobs is a great athlete, but E-H is his own kind of special too.

I'll tell you what,if you see him in person up close ,you would be blown away by his juke moves. I've never seen anything like his spin and jump cut. I think his strong lower body is another reason hes so hard to tackle

He could have been a good pickup after his big game ,but then he got banged up and Ronald jones finally showed some promise, last week. That's definitely gonna effect his carries.

I'm not giving up on the guy ,hes just too talented and has already shown in his career that hes very capable.

The way jacksonville used to just run him into loaded boxes constantly had to hurt his confidence. When healthy hes pretty good though ,hard to argue against that.

I'm not a fan of him necessarily but I think the fact that some see him as a bust is nuts based on his stats

Who said this determines who is the best RB?

Lol.

Michel only has 26 carries because he’s injured dumbass. That’s only over 3 games. He is/was New England’s starter.

Swift was hurt at the beginning of the year. Which is why he was used as a receiving back to start. Now he will get way more rushes.

You’re acting like I made up this rule. It’s just what the football database chooses.

Naw bruh I’m not saying you made up the rule, I’m just saying your acting like a bitch about Leonard while flexing about swift and Michel and they have 2 more carries

I know it’s your deal to be a troll but your piss poor at it

Swift also had a couple of bad plays in the early games like a lost fumble and a dropped TD pass that hit him right in the hands. I have him on my fantasy team. I think he is settling into the role and will be a bigger factor going forward. Will likely end the season as their #1 back.

Yes?

Henry is boom/bust. Overall a very good running back. Below average at or near the LOS, best in the NFL in the open field

Lets take a look at the top guys (minus Michel and sony cause they aren't really getting carries)

per game YPC


5. Nick Chubb- 7.2, 5.7, 5.6, 6.0
13. Derick Henry- 9.6, 3.0, 4.6, 3.4, 3.7
15. Clyde Edwards-Helaire- 6.2, 4.0, 4.0, 3.2, 3.8, 5.5
17. Alvin Kamara- 4.1, 4.4, 9.7, 6.3, 1.1


Im pretty sure you agree with all my takes on Henry

You actually may not regret it

He will have fantasy upside for sure during the fantasy playoffs

None of this is true. Michel only got 26 carries because he isn’t very good.
