K197040 2,412 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I've held on to SuperBaby since the draft. Would be nice if he became a weekly RB2. But for me to say it was worth it, I'd have to look at what I've passed up on waivers and how many starts I actually get out of him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When he was playing 30% or less there wasn't as many opportunities but that could change with him doubling his snaps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Um that was my point. They were being hyped when they have much better players in front of them. RoJo doesn’t have a better player in front of him in a decent offense. Hence why he could be a league winner. I am aware of coach speak, thank you. I am aware this could go back into a timeshare next game. If I had to guess, I don’t think it will head back to an even split because it has been obvious that he’s much better than Barber and has looked awesome this year since week 1.

sjm76 769 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 The Bucs already have 6 losses and I think they realize that Peyton Barber isn't the answer at rb so I wouldn't be surprised if they let RoJo be the lead guy for the rest of the season. Right now I view RoJo as a high end rb3 because of the offense he's in but wouldn't be surprised at all if he becomes a solid rb2. He just needs to be more consistent. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He needs all the goal line work imo. They've got an easy passing schedule coming up so I'd expect them to have a couple of goal line shots each game. That would make him a pretty solid RB2.

I wish he'd say he was going to get 75% of the snaps or something like that, instead of "he's the starter". Saying that doesn't mean much. Extrapolating his usage means a lot more. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I know, but we all know that "starter" really doesn't mean jack. Barber was the starter in some games and got way less touches at times. So when BA says starter, it is hot air to me until I see the usage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

eg4190 883 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 This is as close as you’re ever going to get to Bruce Arians saying “Start RoJo at FLEX next week.” Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rojo has looked good in a number of games this season. His highlights from the Rams game alone are worth watching- if you get a chance Shake. As far as usage...well...this is the strongest endorsement Arians has given him. Flex him this week. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jones had 2 good games back to back earlier in the season but then Arians inexplicably gave Barber the most carries the next game. With Arians, I hate to say it but I have to see it to believe it. It would be logical to see if Jones can be the guy moving forward but Arians doesn't seem to be the most logical coach. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For fantasy, it's great to draft and hold through bye week, BA continue with his split in the game after, then I drop him and Bruce decides, "Yeah, he's our starter now!" Thanks for nothing Bruce. I was already starting to sour on Arians and this may have pushed me over the edge. We knew Week 1, he was the best. We knew after Week 4 and 5 performances he was the best. Yet, the "genius" head coach didn't realize it until Week 🤬 9. It's too late now at 2-6, Bruce. They quite possibly could be contending if their run game had been consistent, not that "hot-hand" 💩. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
