Joe Mixon was 3rd in carries and 5th in RZ touches last season...
Now he's running behind a borderline Top-10 offensive line (once a huge weakness):
Mixon ranked 33rd in run blocking efficiency last year (PlayerProfiler).
He's lost 3rd down work before, but there's room for growth in his proj. if that changes.
Since 2018, Mixon has averaged 20.5 touches per game (@EricNMoody).
J. Taylor was only other RB with 7 top-six weekly finishes in '21. (@AndrewErickson_)
This guy may upset some people:
Leonard Fournette is the lead back for the 2nd-highest scoring '21 offense in the NFL.
He signed a 3-year extension after:
• 69 RB receptions (3rd)
• 54 RZ touches (3rd)
• 22.3 PPR points over last 6 games
• RB3 in fantasy points per game
60% of his contract is guaranteed.
Top-2 RB over final 11 games… when his 70 tgts led the position (@SalVetriDFS).
2nd in targets per game (Swift).
1-of-4 players with 50%+ RZ opp. share.
The Fat Lenny memes were fun, but it's overblown. Coach is unconcerned.
I'm buying Lenny & Rachaad White at ADP.
Aaron Jones has true league-winning upside, despite AJ Dillon's presence.
Let me explain...
Both RBs were Top-12 in RZ touches (this was with Davante Adams on the team).
Jones avg. 22.9 PPG without Adams, this would rank #2 among ALL players in '21.
Also...
Green Bay has a massive need for pass-catchers, so what if Jones goes nuts?
The primary fantasy benefit of Dillon's involvement is more targets for Jones.
He was Top-10 in yds created per touch.
Unsurprisingly, Jones averages more fantasy pts w/ Dillon active for this reason.
