This guy, seems invincible. I know the Saints are nothing to brag about but man, the numbers this guy is putting up are insane!! I hope you guys were able to benefit from him last night.
Edit* Had 1 double up lineup last night with Freeman and Snead. I dont know if the ownership % were for that contest or overall, but Freeman was 63% and Snead 48%.
He's a beast that I've been riding for weeks, but he was paired with an unfortunately less than stellar ensemble cast(fault be to me) for me to cash in on his killer stats, can't remember exactly but I got him for under $7K a few weeks ago now adding in last night's performance he'll be pricey, last raise had him at $8k now he's likely closing in at an AP/LB rate, but he seems to be a safe investment at any rate as long as the numbers keep rolling in. There's something about Thursday and Monday tournaments that I don't like so I missed rostering him this week, next time maybe, if he doesn't cost $9,300,lol
Even if he was the highest price RB out there, he is probably the only guy who could be priced at $9000 and give you points worth $9000. At least over the past 4 weeks. One encouraging note, Atlanta was losing the whole game and still handing him the ball consistently.
When Rothelisberger comes back Bell will be the #1 back again. Freeman was over-owned in most of the Thursday GPPs but he definitely paid off. I'm going to try to complement him now with the rest of the lineup going into Sunday. There were some people who rostered 90% of their lineup on Thursday players last night who may actually cash which I haven't seen happen yet. But if you had Brees, Freeman, Ingram, Snead, and especially Watson and the Saints D you are in decent shape.
I have him in a cash game with 565 people in it. Meaning 384 people picked him. So, if you didnt have him in this contest, you will be quite behind. And even though Snead didnt have a breakout performance, almost 50% owned him, so they also didn't do as well . Unless the rest of my players poop the bed, I think Ive got the $.
Thats also assuming the %s are for this contest alone.
The %'s are definitely for that contest alone. Its kind of what people were saying about Thursday's slate, a lot of times, when there isn't a lot of firepower in that Thursday game, you can get an edge by playing in a contest with people just putting in players they are either fans of or just want to watch on TV. This week though, you had Freeman, who was relatively cheap, and Snead, who didn't pay off completely 3x, but was close (4 yards away I think). So they were kind of must plays if you were in on the Thursday slate. In one GPP I only played Freeman, but so did 50% of the players. Not sure how many other backs will reach his totals this week, if any, but with that high of a % ownership it might still be hard to cash. We'll see, I am going pretty contrarion so it will either work well or blow up in my face. I was in one 3 person cash game where I went the opposite and played Ingram, who did well, but obviously not as well as Freeman. One guy played Ingram and Freeman and the other played nobody from Thursday. So we'll see, it will be interesting to see if the winner of the GPP (or 3 man) didn't own anyone in the Thursday game. If somebody just owned Watson, they'd be in really good shape, but most people who played Watson basically had their entire roster filled from that one game. And the top guy ended up with 165 or so with a player or 2 to go. Not bad.
He's been insane! He looks so much faster than other players and his vision is impressive. I keep thinking he's going to slow down, but with Julio hobbled seems he'll continue to get check downs. He's a solid pass catcher as well. I'm happy to have him on our team :)
The numbers are crazy on Freeman. He is on a heater that not many players have ever been on. Looks like Florida State is the new running back U with Freeman and Karlos Williams in back to back drafts.
Agree here. I was one of many (everyone) who didn't have high hopes for him this season. In fact, I drafted Tevin Coleman in most of my season-long leagues. This isn't just a stat-stuffing situation either. He looks genuinely elite when you watch him. Exciting for the Falcons, no doubt.
