No he’s not - coming from an eagles fan. Blount will get some touches but Smallwood and Clement will not. Eagles didn’t send a 4th to get a committee back - they will ride him.

Bo Hackson 106 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 It's a MUCH better offense with a better OL. At the least, it has to be better than Miami. Link to post Share on other sites

Drake early downs, Williams 3rd down/passing back...If I had to choose Drake he has the higher upside and is more talented. That said I don't see either returning more than RB3 maybe low-end RB2 value, that offense looks even worse now Link to post Share on other sites

How good is his pass protection? Wentz needs it with peters on IR. Surprised they didnt pick up a guard Edited October 31, 2017 by dashoe Link to post Share on other sites
SkinsChargersFan 3,422 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Wow. I just traded for him yesterday... I don't know what to make of this. I hate that he has a bye week now though. Link to post Share on other sites
owenmills 5,327 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 This will be interesting. I think it'll end up hurting his value because they have several capable RBs there, so they probably will use them all situationally, which is probably best from a football perspective but not for fantasy. However, there is a ton of upside in that offense if they commit to him as their workhorse. Link to post Share on other sites
dre 328 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I don't see how people can possibly say that this isn't an upgrade for Ajayi's situation. The Dolphins have been awful this season as has Ajayi. Even if this isn't a huge upgrade for Ajayi, it is an upgrade. The Eagles wouldn't sent a 4th round pick to the Dolphins if they planned to use him in a 4-headed committee. Link to post Share on other sites

PlayTheWaivers 1,886 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 You don’t trade a premium draft pick mid season for someone you aren’t going to give a good amount of touches to. Ajayis Fantasy stock just took a major liftoff. Just in time. Link to post Share on other sites

I think the bye week could help Ajayi by giving him an extra week to learn the Eagles system and to give him a week of rest. Link to post Share on other sites
SuperSurgeMC 994 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I think it bumps Ajayi's value a bit, but not a lot. If Philly wants to run the ball more it hurts Wentz a tiny bit. Link to post Share on other sites

SkinsChargersFan 3,422 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Keep an eye out to see if the Eagles cut a RB later today. That could give an indication on how much they believe in Ajayi. Link to post Share on other sites

gufomel 873 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 For those concerned about the bye week, the Eagles' bye week is week 10. With Miami, Ajayi would have been playing @ CAR week 10, which would have been an awful matchup. So hopefully you have someone to fill in that week when Ajayi would have been trash anyways, and Ajayi gets to rest up for ROS. Link to post Share on other sites

ap0calypse 124 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) Massive upgrade, especially in PPR. His pass catching will be utilized much more in this offense, Pederson extracts max value from his players. Easily surpasses Howard, Martin and Miller; into the top 10. Adam Gase blamed all of his studs for not putting in enough work into his s---y offense, now any failure will be his own. Edited October 31, 2017 by ap0calypse Link to post Share on other sites
