The hate for my dude Asi is comedy breh...
All I keep hearing is "plodder" and 3 YPC...
Check these stats out...
Matt Asiata: 47/159 = 3.4 ypc
Monte Ball: 49/165 = 3.4 ypc
Gio Bernard: 55/185 = 3.4 ypc
Both Ball and Gio were/are considered borderline RB1...Granted Ball has an excuse, the defenses he's been running against have been ridiculous against the run and it won't get any easier for dude anytime soon but they still got him down as a RB1...but Asiata apparently is a plodding TD dependent RB3/FLEX...Nevermind the fact dude has already dropped a double digit game in week 3 without a TD (PPR) but lets disregard that and keep talking about how amazing his backups combine was...
the monte love has seemed forced from day 1 and gio is servicable but probably makes more sense in a ppr which i never play. azi shouldn't be a back you're counting on, but as a rb3/flex option, you should be as confident plugging him in as anyone based on production. i saw a lot of mckinnion pickups and it might make sense for dynasty but in a regular league, i don't get it when you can fill more immediate needs.
