nonstopfan 4,593 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) Rob Kelley is basically Eddie Lacy with the only difference being that Rob Kelley eats three times a day instead of 5 like Lacy. Edited October 24, 2017 by nonstopfan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kretan182 527 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Kelley's only saving grace is that Perine was a non-factor last night. Unfortunately due to byes I may have to start Fat Rob next week....ugh Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wonderbread 254 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Rotoworld blurb on him today Rob Kelley rushed seven times for 16 yards in the Redskins' Week 7 loss to the Eagles. Kelley added two catches for 14 yards on his two targets in the pass game. He and Chris Thompson each saw seven carries to lead the team, but Thompson again caught a short touchdown and continues to out-produce Kelley. The Redskins can't keep running Kelley for minimal gains on early downs; he's setting the offense up in tough situations by not getting yards on first downs. Kelley has done nothing all year and is by no means a must-hold in 12-team leagues. This doesn't really seem fair to me since he has been hurt pretty much all season. I know he didn't do much last night, but Philly has a tough run D and there aren't many players of Kelley's style (2 down thumper) that can do much with only 7 carries. I would expect him to be a RB3 with RB2 upside rest of season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think R Kelly will have a good game or two depending on the defense, but the guy to probably own is Thompson. Was kinda weird to see Kelly on the hurry up offense and he did make a nice catch. So that was promising. I thought the same, but I read somewhere that Thompson tweaked his ankle and so that's why Kelley was in. Thompson ended up coming back tho, so it wasn't a major injury.

Members_Only_76 7,291 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 injuries to O-line and a tough schedule for WAS ahead...might have to pass! Chris Thompson is a different story. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SuperJoint 4,181 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Holding. Nothing out there in 12-teamers. This dude needs to get things figured out, but he's not a drop imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TommyKramer 829 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 All I am hoping for from Rob is about 15 touches a game for about 60 total yards with most of the GL carries, is that too much to ask? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TennisMenace 777 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I’m expecting a good game from Rob this week. Play him and I think you won’t be disappointed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chente 64 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 TEmpted to start him because I have already Ajayi playing, and my flex would be Landry. Hate to have all my eggs in the same pot, especially in a thursday night game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GoPackGo23 422 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 For some reason I'm not buying into this. I think he's not startable in any PPR type of format unless you're super desperate. They don't run the ball much and Cousins has been throwing a lot near the goal line. Thompson is still the one to own there. Fat Rob is currently sitting on free agents in my 10 team league and I'm fine with letting him sit there and picking up guys like Dion Lewis or Mack instead. I hope he proves me wrong.

And when they started to put things together Rob was running well until he went down with an injury. I still like his outlook late in the season because he will get early down work and GL carries. 12+ touches a game with GL work is flex value.

His crappy performance came when the whole Redskins offense couldn't get anything going. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ak427 628 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Still think he can be a 15 carry, 60 yard kinda guy, but I'm not comfortable starting him until he shows that Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Members_Only_76 7,291 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Just now, devaster said: With a better offense, QB, OLine, and coach. With that in mind, do you feel there's a case for much more value with Kelley? Do you foresee him as a guy who can get you close to 100 yards and a TD every week? I just looked at the injury report, appears the O-line (Williams and Scherf) might actually play (still up in the air tho). I thought they might be out... Schedule isn't easy: 29 vs Cowboys 1:25 PM Sun, Nov 5 @ Seahawks 2:05 PM Sun, Nov 12 vs Vikings 11:00 AM Sun, Nov 19 @ Saints 11:00 AM Thu, Nov 23 vs Giants 6:30 PM Thu, Nov 30 @ Cowboys 6:25 PM Sun, Dec 10 @ Chargers 2:05 PM Sun, Dec 17 vs Cardinals 11:00 AM Sun, Dec 24 vs Broncos 11:00 AM Sun, Dec 31 @ Giants Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SuperJoint 4,181 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 He's not a drop in competitive leagues so don't know why this thread gets bumped so often. OTOH he is a safe drop in 6-teamers starting....NOW Quote Link to post Share on other sites
