Look for an uptick in Blount's ADP. Think it's MCL or ACL.

It's a cleanup procedure on the knee he hurt last year. PUP or IR/return

And the uptick should go to James white, not Legarrette blount

I had Blount as the 2 in the 1-2 punch. I say Blount is now the RB to own in FF as of now

When Dion went down last year James White assumed the pass catching duties and put together some really good games.

Blounts role will not change.

What role is that? Just curious, because Blount averaged 16.3 touches for 80 yards (4.7 YPC) and 1.0 TDs in the six games Lewis also played last year. If you want to overpay for White; go ahead.

I think Blount's the better value 4 rounds later

Alls he's saying is that this doesn't affect Blount or his ADP whatsoever

NE employs 2 backs for different roles - Blount owns one (between the tackles), Lewis or White occupy the other (pass catching/change of pace)

Well, good. I'll wait a few rounds later for the value in Blount and the numbers he had while in a committee last year.

Idk, from what I recall, Dion Lewis actually ran the ball last year while James White didnt do this when he took over for Lewis. Going to have to look it up because Im going off memory.

71% of Lewis's fantasy points came through the air

86% of whites

Blount suspended in opener, Lewis gets 15 carries (5targets)

Then (carries/targets)
7/9
8/5
6/11
4/6
5/9
4/6


White ran a little less with Bolden getting a slight uptick. Either way, you aren't owning those guy for rushing production

White scored 116 ppr points the last 7 weeks of 2015, good for almost 17 ppg average

Please by all means, take White and his 2 YPC in the NFL. I'll take he weed smoking Blunt and his 4.7 later. It's all good! We have differing opinions!

I just told you James White scored 86% of his points through the air last year. Idgaf about ypc

Blount scored 122.9 last season
White scored 122.6 and he had 22 rush attempts all year

I won't be taking white or Blount, just wanted to learn you a little
