Elliott, Gurley.... McCaffrey?

[Jeremy Igo]

Oh nothing, just some elite early first round RB's tearing up the league.

 

[London Loves Luke]

I deserve, and expect a lot of poo for this one... 

I traded McCaffery for Nuke Hopkins week 2 in a half PPR fantasy league because I didn't think he was gonna get any TD work....

Lay it on me guys. 

[Krovvy]

I would have thought Kamara would have been on the list.

[rayzor]

Not in rushing, but he is neck and neck with CMC in total yards.

Can't wait for @KaseKlosed to come in here and be super passive aggressive about this =) =)

CMC is a beast he has been a beast for a while now, he shouldnt have to run for 184 yards to prove it.

Starts passive aggressive thread. 

Gets called out.

Says he wasn't bashing CMC. 

Proceeds to bash CMC.

Cmac was brilliant yesterday, but kudos to Norv and the offensive line. Such an amazing performance from the play calling to the holes he had to run through. 

The bengals front is no joke and those guys made them look silly.

Did anyone else notice the Lev Bell-esque delay on a few runs (G-man told us)?  At the time, I would have picked Lattimore and personally would have thought about Kamara in the second (as he looked like the third best back in the draft to me) and definitely the third, but C-Mac is proving to be as tough as nails. Earlier in the year, I said that some guys, no matter the size, can handle the rigors of the NFL (l see you too, A-jax). I suggested that C-Mac may be one of those guys. That box has been checked.

[Hoenheim]

This is his only game above 100 yards rushing.. If he can string together performances like these then yea he could hang with them

Only time will really tell. I want to see him that high on the leader boards at the end of the season and not just at the quarter mark. 

Holy fug Kamara still giving him a run for his money too. But I guess it helps that the Saints defense is trash so Kamara and Brees are constantly trying to get a lot of yards

You deserve ALL the poo. 

In a half PPR, with Olsen out and no clear cut WR safety blanket to take his receptions, you got rid of CMC who had 80 receptions last year as a rookie?

Bruh.

This was my biggest issue with the way we used him last year, telling him which gap he needed to hit and not letting him use his vision (which is one of his best qualities as a runner). He wasn't strong enough to beat the first man and ended up getting stuffed on most of his runs. 

Now we're letting him choose his lanes a bit more, its not quite zone  because we still pull and most of the line movement is vertical but there are a lot more trap blocks that open timing lanes and give CMAC more options. 

Yesterday was very exciting, especially when Armah was on the field- and could point to why we want someone like Mannhertz on the field more than Thomas at the moment.
