Assuming the holdouts end in the next 2 weeks:

Zeke
Barkley
McCaffrey
Kamara
Gordon
D. Johnson
Bell
Chubb
Cook
Gurley
Mixon

Again, this assumes Zeke and Gordon report. The top 4 are interchangeable, for me personally (I think Barkley's talent and volume will makeup for the bad offense, which might not be that bad).

After that you get some warts on each one. Gordon's injury history, Johnson's unknown offense, Bell's new team, Chubb and Hunt, Cook off of a major injury, Gurley's arthritis, Mixon's shitty offense and Gio Bernard is still breathing...

I just cant trust Bell in the new system. Also I might be reading in to this too much but Gurley wasnt showcased at all in Hard Knocks last night while Goff and Donald were, kinda tells me he wasn't really practicing. I'm higher than Mixon than most but hes coming off of a Top 10 year and going into the system Gurley put up crazy numbers in the past two years. David Johnson is a perfect fit for the Cardinals new offense, he very well could finish the season as the number 1 back.

The Jets starting offense (minus Le'Veon Bell) has run two drives this preseason:
* Almost exclusively no huddle
* Almost all up tempo
* 11 personnel usage (Anderson, Enunwa, Crowder at WR and Herndon at TE)
* Two TD drives (75 yards and 66 yards)
* Sam Darnold razor sharp


I talked about this on the pod yesterday: a lot of what Gase did in Miami was all about the personnel he had. Not the same this year.

One thing that I’ve heard from people in the know is NYJ do plan to play at a much faster pace this year than MIA did under Gase (would be hard not to, heh). That pace w/MIA was due to personnel Gase had there & he has tons of confidence in Darnold.

Thursday night another big step in the right direction for #Eagles rookie Miles Sanders.

* Started over Jordan Howard
* Ripped off two big runs
* Critical blitz pickup on Greg Ward’s 38-yard touchdown catch


The “buuuuut Pederson is always a RBBC coach !” crowd should start to take notice

Awww yeah. The arguments against sanders are eerily similar to the ones against Kerryon last year. Looking at you Les

Aaron Jones’ suppressed ADP is one I’m having a tough time figuring out. Is it the injury history ? I’m not buying they still want him splitting time with that hack Williams. He was a legit RB1 when they turned it over to him last year

What am I missing? Kerryon was at best a deep league flex play last year. I was spot on
