Joe Horn who’s easily the best receiver in this teams history especially if he also played with Brees 1500 yards+ easily.


But to the point Joe didn’t start getting stats until 28. This guy likely won’t be Joe but thats an example you never know.

Lol another "he got injured so I get to be right" take.


Lol. Achane had one game where ran for over 250 yards and scored 4 tds. One game.

That one game has been better than Millers career to this point…..

Achane had one of the best offensive minds in the game.

Kendre was behind kamara and had Pete as oc year one and a decimated oline year 2.

You gotta stop trying to do this man. It's a bad look

I’m sure you trolling just b/c you still look like an idiot for being so wrong about DD. Sounds like more of the same excuses for being so wrong.

But there’s not a sane gm in the league that would take Miller over Achane after what we’ve seen the past two years.

Miller has looked better this preseason, and I’m sure he’s not as bad as he’s been the past two years. But Achane is a couple levels above him.

There it is. Stats over facts. Kendre was a better college player than achane, and its built to be a bell cow rb, yet he gets hurt and plays on a shite team, while achane stays healthy and plays for one of the best offensive coaches in the league, and you call this a major win.

Any poster bragging about player x being better than player y and being right because player y got hurt is the lamest shite you can brag about.

They seem to like Bryant more per my friends in Denver. If it was a lock then it was as wr on the periphery.

The dolphins have one of the worst o lines in the nfl and he hasn’t exactly been a picture of health in 2/3 years so far.

I really didn’t think you were this dumb but ok. His stats are better b/c he’s by far the better player. That’s why his numbers are better.

Hes hurt as often as Miller, which was also my only concern with him. But performs at an elite level when he does play. That’s the difference.

Same tired excuses as with DD lol.

Or he just played on the better team. Which you refuse to acknowledge because you don't know how to interpret information

Maybe he makes them the better team.

Funny the last two years I’ve done fantasy drafts, people from all over the country pick Achane in the first round almost every draft. A few rounds before even Kamara.

Wanna guess what round Miller gets drafted. Here’s a hint, he doesn’t.

So according to you, Miller is better than the rb that gets picked rounds before the running back that starts over him. Yea ok.

Is Achane running behind a line with 4 first round picks and a high second round pick?

Backs typically fall off a cliff at age 31-32. Receivers typically fall off a cliff at 35-36. They have (nfl wise) much longer shelf lives than backs.

Of course each player's situation is unique to them, but studies and stats back up those age ranges for the average player.

You’re being a bit generous on both here.

Been a several years since I looked at fantasy, but how many people draft backup RBs early in the draft? Flip the 2 players in the draft, Saints draft Achane & Miami drafts Miller, and I bet Miller gets drafted before Achane; in this hypothetical we are assuming Miami doesn't bring in another RB to start over Miller. The simple reason is opportunities. No one is draft AK's backup early in the draft, maybe middle rounds as a handcuff; but Miller is getting drafted (probably not 1st) due to opportunities and projections based on how good that offense was in 2023.

You do have to admit that even if Achane is the better RB (I agree here), that it is difficult to truly judge Miller given the shite offense he was in with Pete, and the fact that DA had him in the doghouse in year 2 because of injury issues. Let's see what he does, if anything, with Moore's offense

So Kamara wasn’t suspended a few games and missed some games the last two years? Miller hasn’t had an opportunity to produce is what you are saying?

As far as fantasy, if a backup running back is good enough, they will split carries with the starter. That was the case with Achane his first year. Mostert had 1k yards and 18 tds splitting carries….

That's not what I said at all. I said achane has been more successful because he stayed healthy and played on a better team. Both irrefutable statements. You have no idea what you're talking about.
