CrastersCreep 475 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Eagles would not have sent a 4th round pick for a “committee back” this is huge news - anyone suggesting otherwise is wishing they owned shares. Link to post Share on other sites
Synyster 25 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Gase pretty much took a big dump on Ajayi. I don't see how this doesn't help his stock going from the worst offense to somewhere else. I am excited now that he actually has a capable QB. Link to post Share on other sites

He has been a bum on a prett6 decent team with a decent OL. I don’t think Philly is an upgrade. You're right, it's not just an upgrade, it's a huge, INSANE upgrade. Anyone who has watched even a few Dolphins games knows Ajayi is the same runner. He was just getting hit in the backfield most of the time. And if you haven't watched any games, even stat nerds know that he's among the best RBs in yards after contact. Plus, PHI is much more likely to be ahead in games to go into grind-out-the-clock mode, whereas the Dolphins were probably going to be in pass every down mode by the 3rd quarter just about every week. Lastly, I highly doubt this will end up as a committee, considering Ajayi is far better than any current PHI RB. But it's not like his fantasy numbers could get any worse. In my view, they're almost certain to get much better very soon. Maybe not this week against Denver. But I'm not sure how anyone can see this other than a huge boost, from a fantasy perspective.

daethfromabove1979 874 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Oh wow Ajayi might actually get some TDs now, the bye week will also be huge for him, much needed on the flip side I now have Wentz, Alshon, Ajayi, Ertz all on the same roster lol /endcoolstorybro Link to post Share on other sites

gufomel 873 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) The next 2 week’s don’t look good @ DEN in his first week with the team and then bye week next week (though he would have been @ CAR with Miami then). So if you’re struggling to make the playoffs, potentially this is going to hurt you a little bit (though I’m not even sure of this). Week 11-16 has to be a massive upgrade for him. Having just lost Elliott, I’ll say that I’m very happy with the upside here, even if there might be some risk. Edited October 31, 2017 by gufomel Link to post Share on other sites

Im an eagle's fan not much of an Ajayi fan but this is extremely similar to Gurley last season , he couldn't do anything in that offense behind that offensive line and the rams fixed that and gurley is reaping the rewards. Ajayi can't do anything in that offense behind that offensive line and now he's moving to a new team. So it can't get worse but I don't know how much better it will get for him. Last season he played in 15 games and only had 4 or 5 good games depending on standards, yes 3 of them were extremely good games which buoyed hus season stats, but he seems like a boom or bust RB which is odd to type. I think he improves in Philly but Pederson uses RBBC so ajayi will get some run but he wont be a 3 down bellcow like people drafted him to be. Link to post Share on other sites

dashoe 6,462 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 It's a good move for Ajayi to go to a winning team however for fantasy owners remains to be seen how much value can be salvaged vs where he was drafted as a rb1. Eagles have been winning games without a dominant rb, you figure his skill set only makes their backfield stronger and pays off as they make a playoff run Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think we really have any idea how Pederson intends to use Ajayi. He has only been the Eagles HC for 1.5 seasons and yes, in that tenure, he has employed a RBBC. But I think that was more out of necessity. The Eagles didn't really have a RB like Ajayi could be a 3-down back. Link to post Share on other sites

Gmen07 170 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 The new bye week sucks (for fantasy, good for Ajayi) since most of us try to prepare for bye weeks during the season and couldn't have expected this but overall I expect this move to be positive for Ajayi. The Dolphins regressed badly this year and now he is in one of the league's best offenses. Link to post Share on other sites

HOF12 348 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Really debating to trade for him. It just sucks that you haven’t seen much from him this yr. I do think this boost up his stats tho by a lot. Defense have to respect Carson wentz so it’ll open up the running lane for him. Link to post Share on other sites
