Damn. Was really hoping he'd at least get a handful of snaps this week, even if in the 4th quarter of a blowout.https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/781199157667045376
Looks like we need to pump the breaks for a week!

Can you find someone in the NFL that hasn't been injured? TIAI was looking through some news on him since he has been drafted. So he's actually been injured 3 times already since being drafted? I see a grade 1 mcl, a hamstring , and the torn mcl which he is currently coming back from
Just stating facts broCan you find someone in the NFL that hasn't been injured? TIA
I understand, I wonder if the MCL injuries may have been related this year?Just stating facts bro
I try to elude anyone who alludes to an RB being injury prone.I understand, I wonder if the MCL injuries may have been related this year?
Also, he missed 2 games in 2013 with a knee injury and 2 game in 2015 with an ankle injury.
Anyway, I was just snarkily eluding that it's a bit early to suggest him being injury prone.
got me. I think my auto correct changed my a to an e when I forgot an L... if that makes any sense.I try to elude anyone who alludes to an RB being injury prone.
Nice. He definitely fights for every yard,and the other guys there really don't. It's why i think he's their clear best back - but probably also a risk to get injured if he doesn't learn to pick his battles.Just found some preseason games streaming and made these gifs of dixon.

the pass catch and the last one are pretty impressive to me. he fights for 5 extra yards on the reception.
If it helps, I'm debating dropping Yeldon for Dixon in 0.5 PPR. With the news that he may not be back until Week 5, I'm thinking I may just try to ride it out and wait until next week when I can drop my extra D. On the other hand, I really can't see how Yeldon becomes usable anytime soon. He totally spit the bit with Ivory out.Guys....1 pt PPR....would you drop TJ Yeldon or James White....for Kenneth Dixon? OR hold with those 2 guys?
The problem with that is that the analysts will be recommending Dixon as a pickup now that he is back practicing. Any Joe Blow will have the 411 on him.With the news that he may not be back until Week 5, I'm thinking I may just try to ride it out and wait until next week when I can drop my extra D.
I actually drafted Dixson, Howard, And Smallwood so I have been watching all three very closely. That being said, I think Dixson is the guy I would rather have long term. There just doesn't seem to be anything blocking his path.Would you guys drop lockett for dixon or smallwood? I don't think I am starting lockett anytime soon
Yes for DixonWould you guys drop lockett for dixon or smallwood? I don't think I am starting lockett anytime soon
Yours, mine and the majority of teams in the majority of leagues are like this. Unless you have Johnson, McCoy, D.Murray, CJA, Forte, Gordon and/or maybe Blount, you're struggling to get much RB production. It's a wasteland. I have Ingram (not great) and a big mish-mash of lottery tickets behind him. Glad my league went to RB/WR/2 flex a few years back, it's hard enough fielding one productive RB, next to impossible to put out 2 productive RB'sConsidering jumping on the bandwagon. Seems like my roster consists of nothing but running back lottery tickets.. Why not..
I'd rank them McKinnon (top RB on his team, crazy athletic) > Dixon (probably top RB on his team in a couple weeks) > Duke (lesser side of clear RBBC) > DeAngelo (clear backup)Short bench league might drop DeAngelo for him. Guys like Duke Johnson and McKinnon are on waivers as well. It's tough to judge. Might grab Dixon and hold for a few weeks.
I agree, it's just tough as we start RB,WR, 2 flex. RB's just don't score like the WR's rest of year projections have McKinnon 125 points, and a ton of waiver-wire WR's in the 150 range.I'd rank them McKinnon (top RB on his team, crazy athletic) > Dixon (probably top RB on his team in a couple weeks) > Duke (lesser side of clear RBBC) > DeAngelo (clear backup)
4 total RB+WR? 20 team league?I agree, it's just tough as we start RB,WR, 2 flex. RB's just don't score like the WR's rest of year projections have McKinnon 125 points, and a ton of waiver-wire WR's in the 150 range.
No RB,WR,TE and 2 flex - So we start 4 total there. 12 team PPR league. It's just tough to figure out if you want a guy like McKinnon/Dixon or just punt RB's (Have Forte and Gio for that RB1 spot) and then roll with 3 WR's. WR free agents include Tyrell Williams, Michael Thomas, Moncrief (no IR spot), John Brown. Not to hijack but Dixon/McKinnon more valuable than flex WR3's?4 total RB+WR? 20 team league?
Need moar starters! But to answer your question, yeah, Dixon and McKinnon should both be involved in the passing game, increasing their PPR value over a WR3 type.No RB,WR,TE and 2 flex - So we start 4 total there. 12 team PPR league.

I'd at least wait one game before dropping DeAngelo. If there's any time a player is more likely to pull a hammy, it's the first game back after time off.Short bench league might drop DeAngelo for him. Guys like Duke Johnson and McKinnon are on waivers as well. It's tough to judge. Might grab Dixon and hold for a few weeks.
Yeah.. We start 2 RBs with 1 flex postion. Years ago it wasn't uncommon to see someone run 3 running backs and 2 WRs. Now almost everyone uses a WR/TE in that flex spot. Just more consistent. I think I'm up to 8 running backs on my roster now including Rawls on the IR. Have Ingram as well. Figure if you throw enough crap at the wall sooner or later something sticks.Yours, mine and the majority of teams in the majority of leagues are like this.

Agree and leagues with bonuses for length of TD you might as well use the WR.Yeah.. We start 2 RBs with 1 flex postion. Years ago it wasn't uncommon to see someone run 3 running backs and 2 WRs.

The first one makes me laugh. That play was entirely against backups for Carolina in preseason week 1 and I think I only count 3 guys who made the 53 man roster and 2 of them are STs only and 1 is a backup CB, who not surprisingly made the tackle. I posted something similar in the Derrick Henry thread where people kept saying that Henry was going to overtake Murray any day (after week 2) and all the hype was preseason. I saw the Tenn/Carolina game and Henry got stuffed against Carolina's ones and looked awesome against guys that didn't make the team. Preseason is tough to digest if you don't know who the defensive personnel is.Just found some preseason games streaming and made these gifs of dixon.

Yes. Age hits you fast at RB.Do we really think Harbaugh is going to roll with Dixon on 60-70% of the carries over Forsett? It's hard to see Forsett (good pass blocking, coming off the field on third downs)
They released him and then brought him back. They obviously don't think highly enough about him to pay him what he was making.Do we really think Harbaugh is going to roll with Dixon on 60-70% of the carries over Forsett?

He's actually making the same amount. It was explained a page or two ago. They did it for accounting and roster mg purposesThey released him and then brought him back. They obviously don't think highly enough about him to pay him what he was making.
Odd. Good to know.He's actually making the same amount. It was explained a page or two ago. They did it for accounting and roster mg purposes
I don't trust that IND offense. They should be clicking more and they're not. I'm concerned that last year wasn't a fluke year at this point. I would go Dixon > Dorsett as well.I'm deciding on Dorsett vs Dixon now in a short bench league where I already have Dez.
Edit - I'm in guys. Dorsett added to injury report with ankle as questionable.
