fakespike 120 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Where are the Collins doubters now? Probably out of the playoffs, that's where. Top 10 RB in 2018? It's not outlandish watching this guy run. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wonderbread 252 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Sucks that Collins gets them to the redzone and then Buck Allen gets goal line work (not always, just when Collins needs a breather from doing the heavy lifting). Reminds me of Shady/Gillislee last season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Krustyburger 195 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 He scored 2 TDs yesterday but they called the 2nd one short and of course he then gets vultured by Allen. Still he's been nothing short of a beast lately Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nzoner 35 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Just looked back on my transaction history and saw that I added Collins on September 30th and have started him 7 of 10 weeks,he had some clunkers in there but overall probably one of the best WW adds I've had in awhile.

tpat30 784 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Might go face to face with the dude I traded with to get Collins. Traded him Rivers when he lost Winston and Winston started sucking. Both have been on fire. Those vulture TD's scare me some, but Collins should have another solid week.

Au6294tx 41 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Feelsbadman. Traded him and a first in my dynasty league for Ingram and Olsen. smh, looks like I should have stayed pat. Kudos to you guys who have held on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Like I said above I held but let me clarify I'm also in a league where the WW is extremely thin so I've had to learn to be patient.Hell if it weren't for WW adds(ours are first come first served and $5 each) I'd not be anywhere near the play-offs.

RADickey4Prez 583 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 On 12/6/2017 at 10:56 AM, Rolling Thunder said: Tough read this week. With the exception of Howard, Fournette and J. Williams, the Steelers have been very good against RBs. They will be without Shazier, but the Ravens will be without their best CB (Smith).. Earlier in the season in Baltimore, the Ravens found themselves down 19-0 at half. Collins still managed 82 yards on just 9 touches. Here are the scores from the last 4 meetings: 10/01/2017 Pittsburgh 26, Baltimore 9 12/25/2016 Pittsburgh 31, Baltimore 27 11/06/2016 Baltimore 21, Pittsburgh 14 12/27/2015 Baltimore 20, Pittsburgh 17 Not quite baseball scores, but no track meets either. I don't like betting on 2 down RBs on the road, especially in hotly contested divisional tilts. Whereas Collins has been gaining Harbaugh's trust (that much is obvious), it will only take an early fumble to torpedo any chance of a productive effort. Also, with the Steelers, a game script that favors Allen/Woodhead is always a risk. Is Collins a fade this week? Right now, I believe so (leaning Perine at RB, and Westbrook at flex). Would love to hear a well-reasoned counter-point (something other than "Collins is a stud," "Collins is on a roll," etc.). Collins is a stud Collins is on a roll Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TedStriker 274 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Hindsight is 20/20. I've cycled through a million RB's this season trying to replace DJ and added and dropped anyone with even a remote shot at taking the job. It's mostly luck to end up with one that actually makes an impact so no sense beating yourself up about it especially if you don't have the bench space. My irrational love for Collins' talent was the only thing that kept him around and that stems from his time in Seattle (still can't believe they let him go). Otherwise I would have dumped him too. I've got the same thing with Drake although I think Collins is better than him. Some guys just jump off the screen and I'm usually willing to give them a long leash on my bench if possible even if it means missing out on the flavor of the week.

Fried Pork Grind 524 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 (edited) What do you all think about staring him over Cooks in my flex? My thought is that Cooks is such a boom or bust and Collins seems to have more consistent opportunities as long as Baltimore is in the game.

Joe Odam 925 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 There is not a better game script than this for him to get 15-20 touches. IMO his success hinges strictly on TD opportunity and receiving game usage. My prediction: PPR scoring floor: 8 median: 14 ceiling: 24 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fried Pork Grind 524 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 My options for flex are basically Collins, Mixon, or Cooks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nzoner 35 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Seriously though in the last 4 games 69 rushes for 304 yds,caught 10 of 13 targets and scored 5 td's,unless you have one helluva flex squad I don't know why you wouldn't just plug and play him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
