After Fozzy's last outing, I'd rather see Fozzy get the lions share, CAP a few and Tolbert only on short and or goal line yardage.

IMO Fozzy deserves quite a few carries on Sun. He averaged 6.25 yds/carry for his 16 attempts, and that's pretty impressive. Alternate him with CAP to try and keep the D off balance.

Fozzy at 6.3/yds per attempt last week and almost 60% of our rushing yards...I'd vote Fozzy. 

With that said I'd like to see CAP get his share bc you never know when you'll need him to carry a bigger load

60 of those yards came on 3 runs, with 16 on a 3rd and 21 draw, and he wasn't touched until 10+ yards downfield on any of those plays. Huge credit goes to the OL as the holes Fozzy had to run through were absolutely huge and any RB would have had similar numbers had they been the one with the ball. I'd bet those holes will be much smaller against the Vikings and CAP better suited against their style of defense, with Fozzy remaining the change-of-pace back.

CAP... unless he drops the ball.

Who do you think gets the bigger workload Sunday?  

I actually think CAP is going to receive the bulk of the carries this weekend as long as he doesn't have a fumble early.  I expect Fozzy to remain the 3rd down back with some early down carries mixed in here and there.

Rivera said that exact same, yesterday. 

Safe expectations.

You can literally do this and nit pick for any RB. 

 

And no neither Stewart nor CAP would have got that yardage. They don't have Fozzy's speed or burst

Excited to see both Fozzy and Cap get their opportunity next week. I think Cap gets the heavier load, though

Go watch the videos - they absolutely could have. My point is that Fozzy's one-week sample size benefited greatly from OL effectiveness that isn't likely to occur next week, and if it doesnt' then CAP's style will be better-suited and Fozzy's expectations could reasonably be set back to a more normal level.

Cap will get more carries, but Fozzie could get more snaps if we end up throwing the ball more than average.  Which we might if the game stays close as I expect it will.

No they couldn't. Like I mentioned already they can't run away from LB the way Fozzy can. Stewart is basically a FB at this point and CAP has never had break away speed. Not only that but Fozzy showed great patience last week.

Did cap run there option at auburn?

He might have lined up at QB in the wildcat once or twice in college, but I don't ever remember seeing him run it.

You're saying Stew or CAP couldn't do any of this, especially the first one where he's basically jogging behind Norwell? I completely disagree.

i need to know as well, purely from a fantasy football perspective.

I profess to being a degenerate daily player. Answer is CAP. He averaged 11 rush attempts/ game in 3 games Stew missed last year. Tolbert 5.7. Fozzy 5.5 touches/ game.  Expect Tolbert's average to decline, but problem for CAP for fantasy is the goal line carries. 

[General_Purr]

I have been hearing a lot of CAP isnt a good running back.. I thought he was. Havent seen him much but I hope he has a solid game. 

I doubt he shows out vs a very very tough big defense but CAP is solid. Hope he is ready to pick up a Barr blitz while Cam throws over the middle to Olsen all day.

 

Low key would not mind seeing 4 RB with Wegher and Tolbert out there in the mix... salty missing Weg post..

the first and last one yeah, the two in the middle no chance in hell. Way to slow, no where even close to Fozzy's acceleration and burst. Fozzy brings a dimension no other back on our roster can.

CAP , fozzy will be a 3rd down back
