Player A and player B both play on the same team, behind the same OL and against the same defense. 

 

Player A: 10/38

Player B: 10/9

 

Neither player did well, but one did better than the other. One did horrendous. Out of player A and B, who had the better day with the same number of touches against the same defense?

I'll go with player A for 100 Alec.

C, None of the above

Again, I said neither A or B played well but one of the two did better than the other. So option C is invalid and your test gets thrown into the shredder. 

 

If we are going to complain about the OL for how poorly Riddick did, how come Washington didn't do as poorly as Riddick? Maybe because Washington is the better runner. Not that crazy of an analysis to make.

Totally.  Or that Player B is slight of frame and once he gets hit he goes down faster than Kim Kardashian.  Player A more rugged and can actually withstand the hit of an NFL linebacker.

[Lord_Varys 4,626]

I don't care at this point.  Let them continue to feed Riddick.  Only increases the odds that my waiver RB wins me a championship when/if Riddick goes down.  Nothing but a role player until then.

Problem seems to be that Reddick was drafted on teams and Washington was not. The owners for Reddick seem to think he is the better back but the statistics so far don't really prove it. Washington is unproven so far but has a better YPC. 

 

Truth is we really won't know until we get some more clarity from the Lions offense on what they want to do. We do know that Washington will be the goal line back which gives him some value. However, Reddick is more of a PPR play.

YPC for a 10 carry sample size is just dumb imo.

 

He had a carry for 1 yard on 2nd and 1 and gave his team a first down, but this hurt his YPC. Are we gonna make a big deal about that? 

 

In his first game he had 2 GL carries for 1 yard and 1 TD. That's 0.5 YPC. If you ignore the situation, he was the worst RB ever. 

 

His only negative carry came on 3rd and goal from the goall ine. Other than that it was all positive gains, and a few chunks, with none over 10 yards. To act like he had a terrible day on the ground to be is ludicrous. 

[BronXBombers51 295]

I don't see why both Riddick and Washington can't be valuable in that offense.

Great analysis. 

[lolcopter 7,890]

Until Washington starts getting more carries, his value in standard leagues will rely on the GL touches and potential for TDs

 

until that point, he'll be as TD dependent as they come

So are you saying the Lions OL blocked differently for Riddick than they did for Washington? Please explain the disparity in production between the two. I'm all ears.

Washington wasn't getting hit 3 yards behind the line. 

 

Maybe people here here should watch games rather than rely on boxscores..

And Riddick was?

 

what difference does that make? He's not even close to being able to support a 3 down role

You realize that I am a Lions fan and watch all the games, right? 

 

There was no difference between the Lions OL blocking for Riddick or Washington on Sunday. Washington was significantly quicker to the LOS on his carries. Riddick appeared more hesitant and not as decisive. Riddick is a scatback and not meant to carry the load. Not a between the tackle runner. 

 

Another interesting stat; Washington's first NFL carry was for 28 yards. The five longest carries in Riddick's 4 year career are only 21, 16, 12, 10 and 9 yards. Those are the 5 longest runs Riddick has ever mustered in the NFL in 4 years. He is not a between the tackles runner. He should be used to his strength which is a pass catching back out of the backfield that can do his thing in the open field.

Ahh so Lions fans no more than everyone else and can more accurately analyze their players... gotcha.

Lol oh Chargersfan, this is the exact same rationale you used to discredit Tyrell Williams and pump up Dontrelle Inman

Right now he may be TD dependent but he still has the upside of getting more volume as the season goes on.

 

He's still a bench stash for me right now but he could payoff big down the road.

Starting to come to the conclusion that he just might not be that good at discovering or analyzing NFL talent.

I want a picture of Washington crossing the goaline for my office. Such a historical moment for our country...

The sooner you realize "Rotoworld" is just a dude in a chair reading articles like the rest of us, the happier you will be  

 

I consider him startable but I would ideally want to wait another week to see if the trending is in his favor or if Jim Caldwell remains Jim Caldwell and runs Riddick into the back of his lineman over and over.
