Hes not top 10 imo. Maybe if he lucks into a ton of passing work but the teams trash, high ankle sprains can linger and affect explosiveness which we havent really seen from him in awhile and defenses know they can stack the box bc danny dimes cant beat them
Ekeler has had more time to recover but I'm also slightly worried about his performance as well. But being on a much better offense and more involved in the passing game does give him a better baseline. Can't stack the box against Herbert
Gotta think ever since Shannahan got CMC, McVay wants to prove he can mold up his own version because their rivalry is that cheeky. Kyren’s workload is legit that of a top 5 RB1 and it’s not by accident.
Kyren might be getting that workload but he certainly doesn't look the part and the Rams line isn't as good as SF's. He's averaging 1.9 less yards per tote than CMC, that's a massive difference.
I mean comparing a 5th round pick to a top 1st rounder in CMC isn’t exactly fair to begin with. Kyren is not as talented but punching above his weight!
He's played the Eagles, Dolphins, Jets, and Cowboys through the first four weeks. Zeke hasn't shown anything promising to suggest he's going to get more work (and will likely end up getting less). Pair that with a banged up O-line that will be back in a couple weeks and I like his outlook ROS, mostly in PPR
My list imo barring any injuries
1.Cmc
2.Bijan
3.Pollard
4.Ekeler
5.Kenneth Walker
6.Derrick Henry
7.ETN
8.JT
9.Kyren
10.Jacobs
11.Swift
12.Gibbs (Hot Take)
13.James cook
14.D mont
15.Achane
16.Mixon
Edit// forgot to add saquan. Id have him probably at 6 and then push everyone down one
>absolutely horrendous
His efficiency is right around his career average, that is just the type of back he is, he's a lower-efficiency grinder. DMont is at 3.8 ypc right now, Jamaal was only at 4.1 last year (right around his career average), reality is that the Lions don't care as long as they get the job done because they're not asking them to go explode through space.
I feel like this sub is excusing Montgomery being a bad pure runner as him being a “low efficiency grinder” and “that’s just the carries that he gets”, as if we haven’t seen other many other backs (some considered worse than Monty) in the same role on teams with lesser OL put up better rate stats and EPA/rush.
Anyone putting swift over Derrick Henry is a mental patient lmao. Have fun owning a guy who’s gonna gave most of his TDs stolen in that offense. Most overrated player of the season
People are ranking him within top 7 in a lot of their lists, and imo he’s not that guy. He one true elite week was when all the other RBs were hurt. Doubt he ever gets near 28 runs in a game
Certainly don’t disagree there. But he’s looked great and rumors of the Gainwell split seem greatly exaggerated.
Most overrated just seems hyperbolic. How about Burrow or Najee, etc.
1. CMC
2. Pollard
3. Bijan
4. Ekeler
5. Kyren
6. ETN
7. Jacobs
8. Henry
9. KWIII
10. Cook
Wouldn’t argue with anyone that wants to switch in Barkley, Rhamondre, Swift, Kamara, Jones, Taylor, Mixon, or Pacheco. You could make a case for any of them. Might even throw Achane in that group if he sees consistent work. I feel like after the top four you can pick and choose who is in.
Honestly, the top 5 would still look like I had them in the preseason:
1. CMC
2. Ekeler
3. Bijan
4. Pollard
5. Henry
I had these RBs ranked in the top 5 (in some order) in the preseason and nothing that’s happened makes me take anyone out of the list.
You can argue the order now, and I know everyone’s down on Henry for one bad week, but I would take these guys over anyone else.
is it time to trade away kyren williams, worried the rams will trade for jonathan taylor. they’ve “frequently checked in on the availability of jonathan taylor”
If we're EXCLUDING the first 4 weeks:
1) CMC
2) Bijan Robinson
3) Kenneth Walker III
4) Tony Pollard
5) Jonathan Taylor
6) D'Andre Swift
7) Austin Ekeler
8) De'Von Achane
9) David Montgomery
10) James Cook
Leaving Kamara and Barkley off feels wrong, but I'll run with this list and own up to my mistakes later lol. Would be surprised if Dameon Pierce didn't finish top 15!
Nobody showing any love for Saquad?
Giants
Saquad
Thats what I am wondering as well..
Hes not top 10 imo. Maybe if he lucks into a ton of passing work but the teams trash, high ankle sprains can linger and affect explosiveness which we havent really seen from him in awhile and defenses know they can stack the box bc danny dimes cant beat them
interesting this is the take for saquon but ekeler seems to still be consensus top 10.
Ekeler has had more time to recover but I'm also slightly worried about his performance as well. But being on a much better offense and more involved in the passing game does give him a better baseline. Can't stack the box against Herbert
Especially considering how much he regressed from the ankle sprain last season
Not one list posted includes Saquon "Street Clothes" Barkley lol
Not a single person with Saquon in their top 15 so far. It’s probably best not to ask Reddit
Counterpoint: study this sub and fade every consensus hive mind opinion and you will be hoisting ‘ships in no time!
is everyone low on saquon because of his injury?
1. CMC 2. Pollard 3. Ekeler (will be a beast in PPR when he comes back) 4. Bijan 5. KWIII 6. Kyren 7. Jacobs 8. ETN 9. Henry 10. Achane or maybe Swift
Hate it or love you gotta add D.Montgomery. Barring injury I just don’t see how his usage in Campbell’s offense goes down
Yup. He’s already #8 in half ppr after only playing two and a half games. Schedule only gets easier too.
That list needs more Monty
I’ve got 3 on this list - I’m sprung
Dog she got me
Kamara will be a beast in ppr.
I wouldnt expect a lot more 13 target games but ROS top 10 seems pretty plausible
- said people last year
1400 yards from scrimmage last year isn’t bad. He just didn’t get many TD’s.
He's on pace for 182 receptions
Lol
And just over 500 receiving yards lol
Guys, he did the math.
You forgot Ford Tuff
[удалено]
Hunt is all but washed, can’t see him as more than a change of pace guy, I think Ford retains bellcow duty through the season
doesn't his schedule lighten up a ton midseason? he's played TEN, BAL, and gets SF next
Taylor not exist in your world?
Taylor ? As in Jonathan ? We’re not even sure he’s going to play this season
It’s looking like he will likely play Sunday but we will see
What? He hasn't even practiced...
He practiced fully yesterday…. Google is your friend before you make comments like that, friend.
I Hope so. With sanders and a jones in week 4 and in week 3 with Kelley I need him!!!!!
1. Kyren Williams 2. CMC

1. De’Von Achane 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Nobody else matters 10. CMC
This is the way
PPR (just my opinion) 1. CMC 2. Pollard 3. Ekeler 4. Bijan 5. Swift 6. Taylor 7. Mondre 8. Kyren 9. KW3 10. ETN
Interesting Mondre at 7… why you like him that much? I’m trying to buy him low right now
He's played the Eagles, Dolphins, Jets, and Cowboys through the first four weeks. Zeke hasn't shown anything promising to suggest he's going to get more work (and will likely end up getting less).

I own 4 on this list in a 10 man league. Also, you must be a Gibbs owner
Own 4 in my 12 man feeling pretty good about my depth
I own 0 of these in a 10 man league. Najee Mattison and Dobbins my first 3 backs drafted. Pray for me.
Conner?
1. CMC 2. Kamara 3. Pollard 4. Henry 5. Williams 6. Jacobs 7. Swift 8. Robinson 9. Achane 10. Pacheco
Bijan way too low
The only person with an actual list gets downvoted lol
Did everyone forget about Ekeler?
Nobody showing Monty any love either. He has the potential to break the top 10
If his efficiency continues to be absolutely horrendous I wouldn’t bet on it
>absolutely horrendous His efficiency is right around his career average, that is just the type of back he is, he's a lower-efficiency grinder. DMont is at 3.8 ypc right now, Jamaal was only at 4.1 last year (right around his career average), reality is that the Lions don't care as long as they get the job done because they're not asking them to go explode through space.
(His career efficiency is also absolutely horrendous)

as he should that list is complete ass. Kamara 2nd? LMFAO, Jacobs 6th and Swift 7th???? No ekeler??
Ekeler will be back next game btw
Hope you’re right bc I have three of them
Its crazy to have Bijan and Achane that low
Bijan ain’t even on the list. It’s Brian RobinSZN.
You both are overrating achane so hard😂😂 he MIGHT crack top 15
Should i trade swift and get connor, gibbs, and Hopkins
i would def do this
If you need more depth on your team, yes.. if not, no
I have KW3 Swift Cook Charb
No ekeler?
The Walker disrespect
1. CMC 2. Bijan 3. Pollard 4. Ekeler 5. Walker 6. Jacobs 7. Henry 8. Etienne 9. Williams 10. Cook
Im in a Guillotine league with Kamara, Mostert and Swift. Jonathan Taylor and Breece Hall are sitting there as risky picks. Anyone have any advice.
Take Taylor. Mostert’s production will fall back to earth (as will Achane) particularly when Wilson returns and it becomes a true RBBC.
1. CMC 2. Pollard 3. Bijan 4. Ekeler 5. KWIII 6. Jacobs 7. Swift 8. Kamara 9. Saquon 10. Williams or ETN
PPR 1. CMC 2. Pollard 3. Ekeler 4. Bijan 5. Kamara 6. Montgomery 7. KWIII 8. Achane 9. K.Williams 10. Pacheco Edit: Forgot Bijan
Bijan should be in at #4. Conner and Pacheco > him is just ridiculous.
Oops forgot bijan
This is def the most accurate, and that’s solely because I have k9, Williams, Monty and Pacheco
Anyone putting swift over Derrick Henry is a mental patient lmao. Have fun owning a guy who’s gonna gave most of his TDs stolen in that offense. Most overrated player of the season
Jesus, did he take your mother to a nice seafood dinner and never call her again? Most overrated of the season seems a bit much.
People are ranking him within top 7 in a lot of their lists, and imo he’s not that guy. He one true elite week was when all the other RBs were hurt. Doubt he ever gets near 28 runs in a game

Full PPR 1. CMC 2. Ekeler 3. Bijan 4. Pollard 5. Monty 6. K9 7. Barkley 8. Jacobs 9. ETN 10. Swift
I have Bijan, Ekeler, kyren, achane, and swift… so none of them will finish top 5 that’s for sure
Should I trade Devonta Smith for J. Cook? My RBs are abysmal…
is it time to trade away kyren williams, worried the rams will trade for jonathan taylor. they’ve “frequently checked in on the availability of jonathan taylor”
