The Ravens are trying out RB Le’Veon Bell and Devonta Freeman.


I don't think this would impact gus in any way since he's not a third down back. I could see either cut into ty'sonns PT

Source: #Ravens RB Justice Hill tore his Achilles at practice recently. He’s out for the season. That’s why they are working out backs.

If gus has that level of talent It's setting up for him to have his "breakout year". He's found his way onto my roster pretty much every year he's been in the league

I've been taking him in the 5th round in the 10 team mocks if he's there. I don't want to reach for him when guys like Javonte Williams, Damien Harris, Raheem Mostert and even Kareem Hunt can be had a little later.

Since Kareem Hunt returned from his suspension in 2019, he’s out-scored Nick Chubb in 9 of 20 games (45%) the two have played.

3B. In losses, Hunt averages 14.7 FPG to Chubb’s 12.8.

3C. In victories, Chubb averages 17.0 FPG to Hunt’s 12.5.

Throughout his career, Elliott averages +7.5 more FPG in wins than losses. Using these splits, and based on Vegas’ 2021 win-total expectation of 9.5 for the Cowboys, we can expect Elliott’s FPG average to jump from 15.4 to 19.4. For perspective, that would have been the difference between finishing 15th and 5th at the position last year.


I didn't draft this dude enough

I got him in some best ball but not in any season redraft leagues. It blows my mind that some people think he's washed. I would have taken him after CMC, Cook and Kamara.

I'm stuck on Ekeler ahead of Zeke for some reason. They've got me mesmerized with Joe Lombardi going over and Ekeler playing the Kamara roll. He's going to catch a lot of balls.

I think RBs 5-10 are all interchangeable, it just depends on who you like the most. I feel like I'd take Adams or Kelce before Ekeler but that's just me. Arguments could be made for any in that range.

I got Ekeler at 11/12 in a .5 PPR draft last night. Was kinda surprised he was there tbh

Also drafting at the back this year kinda sucks, front-middle is where it’s at

I got D Adams and 1.7 and Eckler at 2.4 last night - 1PPR.

I debated getting Eck at 1.7.

Very happy.

That's insane. Why can't I ever draft with people like that?

I have no idea how it happened. It's a $100 buy in neighborhood league that's fairly competitive. Only thing that's a bit off is 6 point passing TDs with yardage bonuses. So there were 2 QBs taken before Eck.

I took Ty’son Williams with my last pick. Hoping he becomes the guy eventually or atleast the third down back that can catch the ball. Gus edwards Is pretty one dimensional north south runner. Also keep in mind that Lamar jackson will run a bunch and take red zone carries.

Saints are releasing RB Latavius Murray, per source. They asked for a pay reduction yesterday and he refused. Murray is coming off his best season, averaging 4.5 yards per carry and 7.7 yards per catch.
