Running back Predictions

[t96]

So with Stewart out who do you all see leading the running backs this week? In the mix are CAP, Fozzy and Tolbert and possibly even Wegher if Colin Jones is out since Mayo is out and we'll be thin on ST. I really believe CAP will get opportunities early and will run away with it. Think Fozzy will get the start and CAP will come in fairly soon and take his first couple carries for 20-30 yards and just keep running from there. Tolbert will likely have his regular role. Doubt even if Wegher's active he'll see any snaps outside of ST but would be pretty awesome to see him get some offensive touches. Will be really interesting to see what happens. Feelin' CAP ends up with 20+ carries for 100 and maybe a TD, Tolbert 5ish carries for 20-30 yard and a few catches for similar yards and a TD, and Fozzy with about 5-6 carries for 20 yards.

If CAP struggles in pass pro he will be on the bench fast as poo.

 

i know most ppl think fozzy is a little guy but he made some massive blocks in preseason and did his thing when he was out there in season. Keeping Cam upright is huge. 

 

Honestly i think it will be fozzy and Tolbert and we air the poo out of the ball. But of course I would love to see CAP play well running and pass pro.

I'd bet folding money CAP gets a good chunk of snaps and makes the best of it. But Fozzy will be the best of our bunch out there.

which of the 3 would you play in fantasy?

I bet our streak of 100 yard rusing games ends this week. People have no idea how good JStew is.

Shenanigans. We'll get 100. At least. It's the Giants defense we're talking about here

[cookinbrak]

Fozzy will get most of the first half, then our huge lead allows CAP and Wegher to get broken in.

[Kakarot]

I think we get 100 this week. Fozzy will get 50-60, Cap 20-30, Tolbert 15-30, and Cam will get 40-50 w/ a TD. 

We will miss Stew, but I think we'll be ok on the ground 

[countryboi]

i think Cap gets most of the touches like 10-12 Fozzy gets 6-10 and Tolbert pulling up the rear with 5 plus a few catches

[imminent rogaine]

I think they each get about 10 touches. and about 40 total yards a piece.

I wouldn't start any in fantasy but if I absolutely had to, I'd go Tolbert, especially if its PPR, because he will get at least one TD this week.

The huddle has a hard on for CAP, I'm almost willing to bet he doesn't get more than 5 carries.

 

Fozzy is a homerun threat, I can see him having a big run. I think he takes a screen pass for a td

If Fozzy is going to be on the field more, Shula better bring his A-game when it comes to screens. No reason not to run them all day long if Fozzy is featured, especially with how well our line pulls and blocks in space.

The huddle thinks CAP sucks. That's about as accurate as your statement.

Unless he fumbles, or fails at pass blocking, he'll get his shot on Sunday even if Fozzy plays well. If you're not gonna give him a good look with Stewart out, no point in even having him active. 

You know Fozzy is itching to show what he can do. He only has 18 rushing attempts this season, and last year his total was under 150 yards. I wish they'd given him more carries this season, for a change of pace if nothing else.

Honestly?  None at this point, Bryce Brown for Seattle is clearly a better option.
