“27.5% of Philip Rivers’ pass attempts went to RBs last season. Austin Ekeler averaging eye-opening .12 catches per snap in career. https://t.co/33dBNatDDK”
@Sm4shbox hard to make a deep run with him considering he fades down the stretch every year.
@tjfowle2 I see you disagree, except Jackson has a 0th percentile BMI and is 193 pounds. He does not shout workhorse by any stretch of the imagination. If you think Ekeler is too small for a workhorse role, Justin Jackson is smaller.
@Nick153 false. Jackson was a workhorse in college
Lol, I read that as 12/snap and imagined Ekeler just tossing the ball up to himself as he ran down the field...
@JaredBigOcean we both know college and the NFL are vastly different.
He doesn’t fade. He just has been getting hurt.
@Nick153 he is 198lbs
But guys Nick123 looked Justin Jackson up on player profiler.
So... End of argument
0th percent yo
Lmao
A guy with a 0th percentile BMI won’t be able to handle it.
Ekeler is a poor man's Lindsay
Guess we will see
@masonrouthier jackson is 195 pounds. Being a bell cow in college vs the nfl is like night and day, especially for smaller guys like jackson. If this gordon thing doesnt get resolved, my guess is they trade for a starter. Maybe someone like chris carson?
@Nick153 no shit dude but he’s capable of taking 15+ touches a game.
Looks like it’s that time of year again..... time to silence my sleeperbot notifications...
12 catches per snap is pretty damn good. I think that math might be a little askew, though.
Then why is this an argument? I said “not a workhorse role.” It will get closer to 12 to 15 btw. Workhorse is 20 range.
Seattle is not trading Carson lol
@RealFantasyWire it was just a thought. And you never know. Penny may force their hand. With Carson's injury history and violent running style, his value will never be higher than it is right now.
He will get however many carries he proves he can handle
Sure, those are valid what if's. But what if he continues to put up another ~1200 yard year with double digit TDs? Hes the perfect fit for the smashmouth offense Carrol wants to run
Until i see it on tape. Carson is the man
