Talk about taking lunch money, Sparks took a years worth.
Good gravy, th at game didn't work, lol.

I'm content of I can finish at or above .500 since I didn't put a lot of effort into it initially.

Thank you

I find it odd that H2H is nowhere in there.....hell, I'm tempted to start all street free agents for this and the last game since I'd rather face the 3rd division winner rather than the better wildcard team.

As a reminder, if your RB goes over 300 carries and it's more than he had in real life, it'll hurt his future productivity. Start watching your carries.

I'll check with cdcox about whether that's a typo.

Is that just for the regular season or is it post season as well? In other words, if the RB ends regular season under 300 carries, but goes over in week 1 of the playoffs, will that hinder his performance in later post season games?

i mean my rb has gone over 300 in almost every season and he still looks damn good. I don't know why you'd put this as a requirement. So basically i need to just sit my star running back?

i mean thats only 18 carries a game which is super low

I think it's regular season only, but good question. Let me check. I hope it's just regular season or Nick Chubb's going to be pretty ticked off at me when I sit him.

As long as you use him less (or equal) to real life it's not a problem. So a work horse can still be a work horse. I think cdcox put it in so no one would Larry Johnson a guy to death.

i mean i understand it, but other then changing game plans up or using rb2 more often we really don't have a choice in play calls. I mean my team has been up in most of the games so he gets a lot of carries in games where in real life he would be benched and the back up would get all the carries there is no setting for that you know?

so elliot is at 314 carries, my other rushes combined has 94. I have it set to give 26% of rushes to the other guys and they currently only have 23% of the rushes so a 3% discrepancy or 12 carries for elliot. I am not complaining its just there are things out of our control in this

Here are the top 32 running backs of 2019 in terms of carries. It looks like 300 is the ceiling these days.

I think we're trying to balance a few things. First, there's evidence that a heavy work load will affect a running back's effectiveness in the long term. I don't know what stats cdcox used to establish that threshold of 300, but I'll trust his judgment. Again, if someone gets a heavy workload in the NFL the impact will already be felt in their next-year stats so it's irrelevant.

But I think the main thing we're guarding against is having someone use a fluke Beattie Feathers-type guy who has 100 carries for 1,000 yards as a bellcow back. But I do wonder if maybe we should/could tweak the rule a little bit. It's not the goal to penalize a Zeke Elliott or Derrick Henry for getting 320 carries (though I could see a cost if they go to 400).

Let me talk to cdcox to see what our full rationale and system is.

Derrick Henry 303
Ezekiel Elliott 301
Nick Chubb 298
Christian McCaffrey 287
Chris Carson 278
Joe Mixon 278
Leonard Fournette 265
Dalvin Cook 250
Marlon Mack 247
Sony Michel 247
Le'Veon Bell 245
Carlos Hyde 245
Josh Jacobs 242
David Montgomery 242
Aaron Jones 236
Phillip Lindsay 224
Todd Gurley 223
Saquon Barkley 217
Adrian Peterson 211
Mark Ingram 202
Player Att
Devonta Freeman 184
Miles Sanders 179
Lamar Jackson 176
Ronald Jones 172
Alvin Kamara 171
Kenyan Drake 170
Frank Gore 166
Melvin Gordon 162
Peyton Barber 154
Devin Singletary 151
Latavius Murray 146
Tevin Coleman 137

I didn't realize until I just looked it up that 400 carries in a season has happened five times....300+ carries has happened 227 times

Yeah, I get it. Nick Chubb has run down a few clocks for me. And I can't remember who it is, but I saw a box score the other day where I think Tevin Coleman had a dozen carries on the final drive.
