Chris Carson 2019 Outlook

[ST. STEVEN 4,177]

He is just following the trends of the other NFC West backs getting added to the injury report (esp if you go to the way back days of the Saints in the NFC West!)...I am not concerned, at least it is not soft tissue or something.

[ponchsox 1,800]

He’s fine.

Enjoy the ride the rest of the season. Stud RB1.

[DezedandConfused 2,791]

Only Kamara and CMC has more broken tackles this season.

He hungry

[HTXMade 1,089]

I'm loving it!!

[Hellfire Snail 15]

Carson is an animal. 

100 yds and a tuddie minimum per week.

 

[PlayTheWaivers 1,886]

Damn- stud. Locked in RB1 which is excellent value where he was drafted 3 /4 turn

[indyrckstar 20]

3 games in a row with 100 yards rushing.

Talent and current involvement in the system aren't the exact same thing... Hence the vast majority of posters talking to me like I'm crazy for saying this.  Carson drops that wide open receiving TD and his point total plummet.  Everyone talks about how they watch every Seahawks snap and I clearly must not watch but none of them dare brings up how bad Carson is at catching the football.

 

Again I think he's a really good runner between the tackles but after that his fantasy game is pretty limited.  Penny will continue to gain more snap share and The Seahawks will see they are better suited with the ball in the hands of Russ Wilson.  This last sentence is huge and going vastly over looked by all the Carson fanboys.  So again let me define this as clear as day.

 

I think Carson's value will tapper off fairly drastically over the next few weeks and into the fantasy playoffs.  No he won't be useless but for the rest of the season I see the following running backs all scoring equal if not more total points in PPR:

Aaron Jones, Josh Jacobs, Phillip Lindsay, Kerryon Johnson, and why not I'll even say Ronald Jones II too.  Keep in mind most people wouldn't trade Chris Carson straight up for any of these guys so in Vegas I'd be getting probably +150 if not more on these RBs.  If it were to start today where these RBs all get a 10% increase in games played than Carson as Carson already played this week I would think it would be close to even money.

 

I also think Austin Ekeler (even with Melvin back), Jordan Howard, Chris Thompson, and Duke Johnson will all prove to be better draft values in PPR than Chris Carson.  Hell I'm near 100% certain Ekeler will end the season with a better game average than Carson I am also pretty certain you all will be surprised with how close their production is ROS.

 

Right now you drafted Carson anywhere from the 3rd to the 4th round, most likely you drafted him in the 25-35 pick range, he went 24th overall in my 12 team PPR and 31st in my 10 team PPR.  Drafted well before all of the names I listed above (Kerryon's ADP was very close to Carson's)... So if you can cash in on him and get good value I'd suggest doing so.

 

I just noticed the Penny thread got locked my post got deleted late Saturday night for some reason?  But it's probably better suited in here so here it is.  Luickly for me I always have 9 tabs left opened and I had it still opened on another tab so I could copy and paste it.  I know my calls are far less effective now that most of the names I listed went off. 

 

This post is going to continue to age poorly. Carson >>> all the guys you mentioned, in every format.

Awesome, thankful he is holding onto the rock

Some fantasy yahoo expert posted on twitter yesterday after Prosise fumbled and said something along the lines of “Carson fumbled again...he is done as a fantasy starter”.  Heart skipped a beat but proceeded to be flamed by the community for such a clown post lol.

That's funny.  Reminds me of the Pats game, when Sony Michel caught a pass and the announcer kept calling him James White, because he couldn't believe his eyes that he caught a pass.

People panic far too easily. Every RB in the league has been in the single digits at least once out of the 3 weeks (aside from Elliot, but he’s had 2 underwhelming games already too). Carson is a great runner on a great offense. Carroll isn’t blowing smoke when he shows support for Carson. Carson has a ferocious work ethic has that Jim Brown mentality. One of those fumbles was so fluky, and one was a poor hand off from Wilson. Carson is storming back with a vengeance. 

 

Welp....

Yahoo did originally incorrectly score that fumble to Carson for a few minutes before fixing it.

Might make it a bit confusing, but deleted what I'm actually replying too because it would have made my post too long. Anyways, how did he get 129 rushing yards after contact when he only had 124 rushing yards for the game?  I could see maybe total yards since he had 159, and even if he lost yardage on some carries, that stat doesn't really add up.

In his defense, if he was watching the game, they did announce it as Carson before realizing it was Prosise.  Still, that obviously put him in a bad spot.

I saw that Yahoo gave it to the wrong guy and immediately contacted them via chat and told them about it.  Within a few minutes like somebody said, it was fixed.

If you get hit 2 yards behind the line and get 5 rushing yards that’s 7 yards after contact but only 5 on the stat sheet.

Thank you seahawks fan for helping us keep the faith for carson during his mini slump. Can't believe penny squandered any opportunity for more snap share by getting hurt and not managing his injury. Lol- and it's clear that Russell is so dominant that carson should never get truly stacked boxes

Thanks.  That's something you would think I would have already know, but oh well. 😀

Anyone concerned about his volume? He has obviously been great over the last 3 weeks, but he also has 82 touches in those games compared to 55 in the first 3. Seems like that’s unsustainable, should still be a fringe RB1/RB2 but I’m thinking Penny will get some of those touches when he comes back, not because Carson is bad but just out of necessity—82 in 3 games would put him on pace for like 430 over a season, more than anyone has had in a season since Demarco Murray in 2014.

Sure Penny will get some touches to spell Carson , but he's not taking Carson's job by a long stretch. Or Wilson will just throw a few more passes. Not concerned.

Uh no. Ever since he put his fumbling issues behind him after NO he's been a top 5 RB in standard and 7th in PPR. He's not a fringe RB. He is a solidified RB1. You can maybe squeeze out 5 RBs that are better ROS but i'd like to see you name 10-12.
