(S18) - PT2 - Wha-What’s your Fant-ta-tasy!

Oh, that’s what we’re doing today? We’re talking about Forrest Gump? His numbers are pretty monstrous. Now, I will say, a lot of his production is a factor of sheer volume, BUT this is fantasy football we’re talking about. In terms of player comparison relative volume might be considered when weighing who is better, but in fantasy football there’s no question. Gump currently has 237 rush attempts - 57 more than the next highest (a 32% increase!) - and it has helped him on his way to 1017 rushing yards and 9 rushing touchdowns. In case you didn’t know, that’s pretty damn good. Oh, it’s also over DOUBLE what the third place leading rusher has in yards. However, that third place is Morgan Marshall, and he’s been doing excellent with 8 rushing touchdowns, even with just 500 rushing yards! Now, I want to highlight two guys who are subtlety doing well: the runningbacks from the Austin Copperheads. They split a lot of time between runningback and receiver positions which diminishes their numbers in one particularly, but so far Mako Mendonca has gone for a combined 779 yards and 7 touchdowns, compared to 828 yards and 6 touchdowns for Owens. This puts them both in top 5 for runningback yardage from scrimmage, and the touchdowns numbers aren’t too bad at all!
