But even if he is a little overrated, he has a great chance of being a very good fantasy option. Especially in PPR leagues. The way he's being paid, he should be San Francisco's main running back...
Lions running on empty

, 2018
The problem is that the Lions not only haven't been effective running the ball in recent years, they haven't really committed to it, either.
Jim Bob Cooter has been the Lions offensive coordinator...
Jacksonville receivers

, 2018
Not that receiving depth is a bad thing, just, the Moncrief and Chark expenditures of resources seemed extravagant for a team with a seemingly good receiving corps...
Alex Smith

, 2018
Smith did a good job hitting Tyreek Hill and sometimes Travis Kelce on some downfield shots last year. If you want to look strictly at numbers, he averaged 11.9 yards per completion...

In the last 10 years, 49 tight ends have been chosen with picks in the first three rounds. But only three put up top-10 numbers in their first season. Two others at least went top 15...

Smith and Cousins

With both guys, I’m worried about their effectiveness around the goal line. They haven’t tended to be very good in that part of the field...
The declining takeaway
22 May

Back in 2001, NFL teams averaged 30 takeaways per season. Five years later that number was 28, and five years after that, it was 25. The last two years, teams averaged just 22 takeaways...
