I continue to reject this notion.
He had 5 single digit fantasy games last season and 3 occured over a 4 week span when they were going out of there way to involve Gordon. Maybe most of his owners missed his huge week 15 but for the most part I felt he was more predictable than top 10 RB's like Miller and Latavius and about the same as Doug Martin.
That's great that you reject it, but that is what happened to most Woodhead owners. He wasn't drafted to be a starter, so likely not playing week 1. He was also trending down weeks 4, 5, and 6 so some people didn't start him week 7. He then followed up that good week with a week 8 stinker of 5, which again left him on the bench in many leagues in week 9. He then had 4 straight bad weeks so again on the bench for his best week in week 15.
I looked it up in my leagues and many others agreed as well. Out of 228 points, some owners missed out on up to 112 points and started him in weeks where he got single digits. I had one such owner that in essence lost out on the 4 big weeks and played him the weeks after. He was left on the bench in most cases for 3 of his 4 big weeks and almost universally for his biggest week.
Miller on the other hand had 5 19+ point games. 1 of them he was likely on the bench for, but the other 4 were preceded by 100 yard or TD games, i.e. he was likely started in 4 of 5. If you happened to start him after the bye week and after the firing of Philbin thinking that could energize him (it did), you got all 5 best games. Seeing as Miller was likely a 2nd round pick, that isn't far fetched.
Doug Martin was likely taken right near Woodhead, so not a starter as well. He had 5 < 10 point games like Woodhead, but 2 of them were in the first 3 weeks. If you missed his 24 point game week 4, you then likely started him the rest of the year. Also, as a Panther fan, I am also well aware of Martin's history and if the owner was, they would have played him week 4. He has over 640 total yards in 6 games against the Panthers, averaging 16 ppg in PPR, which would have been the #3 RB last year.
Not even bothering with Murray as the other two were right next to Woodhead in total points and Murray was 40 points behind. As I said above, a few of us looked at our leagues and if you just look at game logs you might think different but in our leagues he finished far better in total points than in "actual" points for his owners.
