I hear you on Barkley and Elliott. However, Peterson was going in the 4th-5th rounds of drafts in his rookie year. I’m an old guy, I remember. 🤣

Not in my league, he went 1st round, we alk laughed

[MingusDew 407]

Hindsight is 20/20. CEH was always a risky 1st round pick but the potential upside was huge. Anyone saying he shouldn't have gone in the 1st round is out to lunch.

No, he's not a generational talent. But he's still an above average back that was presented with immense opportunity in the best offense in football. If you gambled on him in the 1st round you're probably disappointed (I certainly am). But other first round picks include Mixon, Sanders, Drake, and Thomas. Not to mention Saquon and CMC. Could have been worse.

I think he bounces back in a big way this week.

Sunday or ROS?

In the first half of Sunday's game.

This week he will do well. I have no issues starting him. Next week he will dud (vs Saints). Do not start. Week 16 he will do ok (ATL).

Are you guys avoiding this week? I think I am and I really don't see him doing much. Can't afford a dud in the playoffs.

[Deejay 35]

Not sure? I am in a ppr and can see a similar stat sheet as last week. He got me 14.4 points and only went 16 carries for 33 yards. 5 catches for 60+ yards made his output acceptable. I anticipate something similar this week. He’ll need those receptions though. Just not sure yet🤷🏻‍♂️

[MingusDew 407]

If you have a better option he's a fade this week. I'd be looking to play someone like Jeff Wilson over him in a heartbeat (if Mostert is out).

CEH is getting more involved in the passing game now which is key.

[Jubanton 345]

Dobbins and Drake over dude... I would even consider Gus Edward's, Fournette (if RoJo is out) and... Snell (if no conner) vs Nati

[Vendetta 528]

I’m worried, but the volume last week was really encouraging. Have to hope he gets more targets to offset another likely rough day on the ground, with a decent chance for a TD.

[JJ1223 1,849]

Crazy but I'm legit thinking about dropping him.  He's my #5 at this point and probably ~5% chance I actually start him either of the next two weeks.  Only real concern would be if he somehow blows up this week then gets used against me week 16.

[GoVols98 44]

Thank GOD I picked up Akers before he blew up so I don't have to worry about the KC backfield headache.

He would be a landmine on the waiver wire, hopefully you would play against him.

I'm not touching a Chiefs RB with a 10 foot pole next year. Absolutely ruined my season and it isn't even his fault, their passing offense is just too good for the run to even matter.

REST UP sweet prince; atleast its not major thankfully🙏

Agreed. I bought into the hype and drafted him with my mid-first round pick in both my leagues this year. At the time the logic was there to see why he could be an elite fantasy RB, but this offense clearly is not supportive of that to happen.

It also seems like Andy Reid does not want to support a workhorse RB role as much as he did in his past years of coaching. I also bought into the Damien Williams hype last year and drafted him in the early third round, only to get burned when the signed Shady McCoy. Same exact thing happened this year with the Bell signing...shame on me for being fooled a second time, I won't fall for it a third time next season.

[ILuvABGs 45]

What round does he go next year?

Too early to tell, gonna depend on what the team does in the offseason with the RB position.

Now to more pressing issues, if Yahoo would let me drop him, that would be greeeeeeeat.

[Proteus 3,796]

We've all seen the "he walked off under his own power" turn into a blown ACL.

Given the amount of help he needed off the field I was genuinely concerned about his career...patellar tendon, multiple ligaments blown, whatever.

So glad I was wrong.

 

I bet people are grabbing him just within the top 50 picks next year, and that's probably as early I would consider him. If it's richer than that, no thanks.
