The question of what is his ceiling is, it's extremely difficult. I didn't know this was going to be our question today, but there was a tweet I saw earlier from Jacob Gibbs, so shout out to him. But Bucky Irving and Alvin Kamara, which was in 2017 when Kamara did it, the only two running backs to top 1,500 scrimmage yards with a snap rate under 50%. And that is...

For every fantasy running back, everything comes down to the decisions of – well, not everything because talent matters, but the decisions of the coach because it's pretty rare that there's two running backs out there on the field at the exact same time, and the running back that is out there – That's a coach's decision.

My unbelievable frustration with Rico Dowdle when he's getting these 20-plus carries, running great, and then they're like, ah, but inside the goal, when we're close to the goal line, we've got to get somebody else in there. Those are the big decisions for seedlings.

It's like looking at the Jameer Gibbs situation where him and Monty, they're splitting, and they're both being awesome, but it's like Jameer Gibbs, the first month of the season, he wasn't a top 10 running back in any game in the first four weeks. Then you would have these stretches where week 7 and 8, running back 1 and 6, but then it's down to 18 and 17.
