Dynasty: Charbonnet or Achane

Depends what the bonus is for return yards IMO. I’d project it out with him getting the kick returns and see if that is meaningful. I do expect he’ll be doing kick returns.

But if Dalvin goes to Miami, that backfield becomes a real clusterfrick and is no better than Seattle. It’s still worth the risk to me at this point though so I’d go Achane. I don’t see anything more than a 50:50 split for Charbonnet in the short or long term future

If you give him 500 yards, which is about top 20 returners - he gets about 2 points per game. That’s not bad, but not very impactful either. He still relies on Cook not going there

I wouldn't count on anything from kick returns. There will be less returns if the new fair catch rule passes today with the ball coming out to the 25 yard line.

Kincade is the pick after the top 4 WRs go.

Charbonnet by a mile.

If you look at prospects with a similar profile to achane basically none of them have ever had long term success

Do you see more that that for Achane? Mostert is the same back so he’ll split the small back carries. The you still have Wilson handling power back duties. Add in the possibility of bringing in Cook and this decision starts to get lopsided IMO.

Achane has less competition for touches and is more gifted athletically.

I want to push back on the notion that another back being signed would put Achane in the same position as Walker- you may believe that for THIS season, but Achane competing with Dalvin Cook this year is much better than Charbonnet competing with Ken Walker for the next 3 year. And I'd bet Ken Walker is better than Dalvin this year and I think it's pretty obvious that the other big name vets like Zeke and Lenny are surmountable obstacles at this point in their careers.

The point about Achane's size is valid. It gives me hope that he went to a Miami team that should boost rushing efficiency (good offensive mind and passing game weapons that scare a defense) for whoever the starter is. So he can probably get by on a less than ideal workload.

I was relieved to see my response to this thread.

Even if you get 10 games out of him a season, you are getting RB1 numbers in those games probably. I’d much rather have a guy that misses a few games but doesn’t put up many dud games than a guy who plays every game but might put up 4 points when completely healthy. (A low end starter like R White or Sanders).
