Keenan Allen seems pretty underrated.

aaron donald, pretty widely accepted as the best defensive player in the league (for multiple years) but that doesn't warrant any mvp discussion? haven't seen him mentioned in the mvp thread at all. heck with the qbs!

Harrison Smith. For close to a decade he's been one of the best safties in the league and his name rarely gets mentioned.

Tyler Lockett & Chris Carson

Metcalf gets a ton of attention. But Lockett I don't think gets the recognition due to his size.

Carson is a top 10 back easily.

He doesn't seem underrated. He is always mentioned as one of the best, if not the best defensive lineman.

It seems like when I mentioned to you I had drafted Chris Carson for fantasy you had indicated he wasn't that great.

No, that's not what I meant. The problem with him is that he's always banged up. He's just not very durable (Has missed 4 games this season). Plus they signed Carlos Hyde (1K yard back last year). Who was expected to split carries with him. While Penny was still healing from an ACL injury. But when he's healthy, he's very good. They have a good group of RB's. But none of them can stay healthy. They signed Lynch at the end of the season (last year) because none of their backs we're healthy (Carson- fractured hip).

Alex Collins & Bo Scarbrough we're getting significant reps. They signed Lynch at the end of the season because none of their backs we're healthy (Carson- fractured hip).


Is he better than Austin Ekeler?

They're different style of backs. I really like Ekeler tho. In a PPR league, I'm taking Ekeler every time. :wink:

Carson finished 5th last year in rushing. Ekeler does most of his damage as a pass catcher. Carson is a physical, hit you in the mouth type of runner.

Terry McLaurin. Still cant believe he fell all the way to the third round. Love Antonio Gibson as well. Redkins just need to find a half decent qb to run that division, not sure if Alex Smith is the solution.

How would you rank that draft class? Between McLaurin, A.J. Brown, Metcalf, Hollywood Brown & Samuel?

I thought you'd put Terry ahead of DK. You could make a case for AJ too. Hollywood has kind of been a disappointment so far. Diontae Johnson should probably be on this list too.
