After casting aside some names that neither failed nor statistically stunned as rookies, I was left with these three mediocre myrtles. Their stories literally bleed with unfulfilled potential. Like the rookie stunner series, the players contained within were all first round draft choices. For more RB Theorem, click here. Jahvid Best -Best was one of […]

In Chapter Two (Mythologies of this Size), I called Doug Martin an ”outlier to my wheelhouse size.” He literally checks all the boxes of what a successful NFL running back should be, according to size research. Yet, his durability does not match my carefully constructed theories. Let us now take a look at what exactly

This is a real article. I do realize the name Trent Richardson is a punchline nowadays. Before he was missing wide open holes, he had potential. His rookie season wasn’t the best. However, what fosters can also cultivate for fertile growth. No one could predict how brief his NFL venture would eventually be. For more

We call him “Beast Mode” because of his superhuman power between-the-tackles. The epic stories in twelfth man land are as thunderous as they are true. The media be damned! Lynch is a legend, so who cares if he didn’t play by the rules of normalcy. Marshawn Lynch | Rookie Numbers – 280/1,115/7 | 4.0 YPA/85.8

A hammer is an instrument one uses to drive the nail. A nice and proper hammer should have a good, long life. This is often the opposite of what happens to those stout RBs. They are asked drive home the tough yards up the middle. Usually catastrophe strikes their lower extremities and they never bounce

While the receptions were fertile, Reggie Bush’s limbs were fragile. His fine career was indeed productive to us Fantasy consumers. However, what was supposed to be epically historical turned out rather good, not great. His rookie season was a stunner, but it was very different from most others in the series. For more in this

Deep within the relevance of a quality offense, a rookie named Addai emerged as the perfect cog to the Peyton Manning machine. This Rookie Stunner Series is based around first round RBs (from 2005-2014) who reached (or clawed) at the 1,200 yards from scrimmage plateau. Also for Dynasty and illustration purposes, I break down how

This is the second volume of my Rookie Stunner series. In volume one, I touched on Brown’s college teammate Cadillac Williams. Brown was the higher pick, and he was better pro despite getting out-touched and outgained by Williams as a rookie. Ronnie Brown | Rookie Numbers – 207/907/4 | 4.4 YPA/60.5 YPG/13.8 APG | 32

In the fifth chapter of this RB Theorem series, I looked at the recent rookie failures of Kenyan Drake and Melvin Gordon. In doing so, I hoped to find a proper gauge on their Fantasy value moving forward. With this chapter, I set out to find slightly older players who “failed” as rookies. Then I

We all love investing in youth. No matter what position, youth combined with seemingly limitless potential is a beautiful thing to own. The Running back position is very different.

We have all heard statements about the running back window. Depending on who you speak to that window is two to three years, five years or under the age of 27.
