If he has 110 rushing yards after two weeks, I'd be shocked to be honest. If you are playing him, I think you're just hoping he gets a bunch of checkdowns in a ppr league or scores a random touchdown. He did not hit 110 yards. He'll have a better week this week, but man, his long term schedule really isn't awesome. New Orleans in week 4. Rams in week 6. Carolina's better than expected d in week 7. Tampa in week 11, Miami in week 13. His matchups with Philly may be a little better now with Graham out, but that front looked very good against the niners. I think if he has a good week this week or in 3 weeks against Dallas, try and sell him off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikeManDan Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 4 weeks in, how are we feeling? Buy, Sell, Hold? I think I'm going to hold, especially with Montgomery going down my RB depth isn't all that great anymore. Henry, Barkley, Monty (out 4-5), Javonte Williams, and Ty'Son Williams. If I did move him it'd have to be for an RB2 and a WR2 at a minimum I think, for my roster construction. He's gotten better and better each week.

If I did move him it'd have to be for an RB2 and a WR2 at a minimum I think, for my roster construction. He's gotten better and better each week. I'm still not all the way in on him. I mean, the big play was nice...but you're basically counting on something like that ever week. He's almost like a tight end in that regard. Hoping for the random huge play or that he falls into the endzone. He's averaging 3.5 yards per carry. Not his fault...the line is a mess, the schedule has been rough (and as I mentioned before, doesn't really get a ton better). He gets the snap count, and volume is king. He's getting about 20 attempts between the run game and passing game, which is great, but the passing game volume has coincided with wide receiver injuries to shepard and slayton, which is not ideal. I still think he's more inefficient low end RB1, RB2. I think he'll give you weeks where he's like a top 5 guy crushing 30 points, but then I think there is going to be several weeks where he's capping at 10-11.

He got off to a slow start but the Giants have definitely made more effort to get him involved, particularly in the passing game. He looked rusty the first two weeks but is finally starting to look healthy again. In their first two games he only had 26 touches and a combined 13 points (6 targets/3 catches). In their last two games he has 40 touches and a combined 49 points (13 targets/11 catches). With injuries to Sheppard/Slayton I think that they'll continue to try and get him the ball more in the passing game as the season goes on. His snap count has gone up consistently every week so far this season as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily though if it's a PPR format. On the season he's the 13th most targeted RB in the passing game and over the last two weeks he has been the 7th most targeted RB with 13. Slayton/Sheppard are both hurt and those are the Giants primary slot, short pass players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm concerned for that target share when the receivers are back, particularly given the inefficiency of the running game and Jones vulturing valuable points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a boom or bust type of player. The first two weeks he was a bust, the last two weeks business was booming. DJ's sudden ability to replicate Lamar Jackson's running while also being like Eli Manning throwing has been interesting to watch though, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikeManDan Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Hopefully out just 2 weeks (LAR and CAR) then the Giants have KC and LV before their BYE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikeManDan Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Starting to wonder if they should just "rest" him until after the BYE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Where do you draft him next season? This year and that team have been disasters. I think next year he's a back half of the second round guy. If it's a 10 man league, possibly even third round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB prossibly ahead of Saquon Chubb, Najae, Mixon, Henry, Taylor, J Robinson, Javonte, Ekeler, Elliott, Gibson, Swift, Montgomery, Jones, Cook, CMC, Kamara, Fournette Some of those might be pushing things. Toss in Dobbins, Akers Taylor, Cook, Ekeler, Najae, Chubb, Mixon, Kamara, CMC, Swift, Gibson, Henry, Jones Montgomery, Fournette.......probably get taken ahead. Lots could change with situations evolving at QB, HC, RB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots could change with situations evolving at QB, HC, RB. For sure. I would expect them to acquire a better QB, and that may really help. Honestly, I'd probably take Elijah Mitchell before I took Saquon at this point. Really curious to see what the Giants look like next year, because if it's similar to this incarnation, I don't think I'll have any shares of him again next year. I just don't know how you trust him at all. And he's a health risk to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets injured often, so not sure I'd take him over Saquon when combined with possible time share. 20 minutes ago, Forge said: Really curious to see what the Giants look like next year, because if it's similar to this incarnation, I don't think I'll have any shares of him again next year.

We've seen with so many RB, a short period of elite production, they get injured and they're never the same so I'll probably pass on him altogether. The RB that interest me the most going into next season are Javonte Williams, D'Andre Swift, Travis Etienne, Tony Pollard, and Elijah Mitchell. Younger guys that can be 3 down work horses but don't have a ton of mileage on their bodies physically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
