We’re Starting to Get Serious Jamaal Charles Vibes From a Young Star in an Ascending Offense

Shawn Siegele looks at a young back who appears ready to make the leap to stardom, perhaps even infringing upon that rarefied air that’s usually saved for discussing Jamaal Charles.

There’s never been a better season for buying superstar RBs at reasonable prices, and that includes the next wave of backs floundering in what used to be the Dead Zone. We’re only getting eight RBs in the first two rounds of early FFPC redraft leagues, and that’s in a contest with a lineup format that’s more favorable to RBs than most.

Instead of getting swamped by RBs in projected points, we see the RBs holding their own or even providing a small advantage. The Win the Flex tool shows us implied points by ADP in FFPC best ball leagues.

As a result, your flexibility increases and you can start to feel a little giddy about the camp progress for starting RBs. We can suddenly buy compelling RB profiles at prices that don’t vastly overstate their impact in fantasy. It’s a great time to be alive.

Earlier this week, we discussed the crazy camp reports for a back who looks like the Next Tony Pollard. Today, we’re going to dive into a summer faller who offers echoes of the incomparable Jamaal Charles.

Not a Literal Connection: Sam LaPorta and Trey McBride Keep Breaking the Flex Position

Walter Sobchak: Well, there isn’t a literal connection, Dude. The Dude: Walter, face it, there isn’t any connection.

Shawn Siegele looks at every NFL roster and explains where you need to stash and where you need to cut. Monday Night Football didn’t go as well for the MEs as I had hoped.
