That's your logic. Middle to late rounders pan out all the time bud.


Alfred Morris is also a 6th rounder himself

No, my logic was a 235 lb. back who runs a sub-4.6 40 was projected in the 5th-6th round for a reason. My logic is a guy with that type of athleticism never rushed for more than 1,000 yards in college for a reason.

The fact people expected him to be consistent blows my mind. All you have to do is look at his college numbers to see he's as streaky a back as there is.

Was there a reason Morris fell to the 6th to put up 3 1000 rushing yards seasons?

You're talking about a guy who was compared to BenJarvis Green-Ellis coming out of college and people were expecting him to be a RB1?

And what I said was dumb?

the more concerning issue is the Skins offense. No one can be trusted to be productive every week in fantasy. Its just that simple.

bullshite, most of us had him in the flex at best this week.

None of us on here had him as a RB1.

Most who started him had him in the flex.

Morris is a plodder with decent vision. Jones is a more athletic plodder with poor vision.

My point stands

You have no clue what you're talking about

Jones was rated as the fastest RB in Week 2....but yeah he's a plodder

Sorry you lost because of him in week 2 and missed out on him on the WW

If that freak fumble didn't occur the sentiment for Matt Jones would be completely different today. I think even Gruden thought that last night.

You need to watch that steph curry commercial reading his scouting report when he was about to get drafted.

Only half dumb... I wouldn't use his college statistics as a foundation for an argument. The other half makes sense. The Troy Davis' and Matt Leinart's of the world never amounted to anything.

Right. I mean no one expected him to be a top 5 RB ROS.

If you run for 120 yards and 2 TDs, you need to be owned in every league across the board. Anyone who disagrees is just trolling at this point and not worth responding to

Did I once say he shouldn't be owned? I said people expecting him to be consistent are going to be disappointed and my buddy was stupid for spending 25% of his WW budget on him. His 1 point last night proves me right so far.

Nah. I'll take consistency over 1 point games sprinkled between 2 or 3 thirty point games.

Honest question, do you even fantasy?

All trolling aside, you clearly seem like a rookie. FF is as much about opportunity as it as about production.

2 carries for 18 yards (1.8 fantasy points)

=/=

11 carries for 38 yards (fumble when running in for a TD)
