quote:

DeAndre Washington and Jalen Richard have split snaps (51 Washington; 54 Richard), but Washington has more opportunities (29:24).

PPR - why not richard?

DeAndre seems more productive.

If you remove each's "long rush" you have:

DeAndre at 5.318

Jalen at 4.312 (good, but avg especially for a 3rd down back)

DeAndre
1. has never had a 3rd down rush
2. Avg on 1st down is 7.0
3. Avg on 2nd down is 5.9
4. 4 of his 6 catches on 1st down

Jalen
1. 59% of his carries are in the 4th quarter
2. Avg on 1st down is 3.7
3. Avg on 3rd down 9.5
4. 3 of his 5 catches on 3rd down

I see Jalen as obvious 2nd fiddle, though in PPR+ ret yard leagues, it may be closer to equal (Jalen +50 ret/game)

It's not about who's better, it's about the volume.

Washington was the higher pick and is more talented

Murray hasn't even been that good, he's crutched up by the TDs

The two rooks are 5'8" 200 lb too. Oliwale outsnapped both last week and good see GL touches

So they split carries, one may see 3rd down duties, FB vulturing TDs - hey if you're short on RB fine, these dudes talking about sitting legit players for this guy

ok, but with all the injuries and not much to talk about....drunk rambling alert

Didn't Del Rio inherit Murray(6'3")...then he drafts two 5'8" guys?....He must want another MJD.

Maybe he's following that old Warren Buffet Rule about CEO height. Most CEOs are over 6ft or something, so when he saw an emerging company with a short CEO he invested because he knew that guy must be a leader to have risen to the top against the odds.

Just to play Devils advocate...injury prone (6' 1") Fred Taylor's days are numbered, which RB is MJD(5'8) and which is Alvin Peerman(5'9)?

Have to fill 2 flex positions. Fitz will fill the first despite his qb downgrade

That leaves Enunwa, Smallwood, Pryor, Matt Jones and Washington at 2nd flex. Doesn't seem to absurb to consider him given match ups and what not.

I'll probably go Enunwa.
