Hey there champ. It's been a crazy season so far. The NFL seems to be in a state of chaos and your team is suffering for it. Remember my friend, it's still early. I know if you drafted early, you likely got a running back and are feeling anxious about it. Hopefully you drafted a good handcuff. If not, take solace in your waiver wire, but let's get back to your frustration. There was pretty much a consensus top five for the 2014 fantasy draft and they were all running backs. You did your homework, you prepared and probably watched videos like the one below. Let's review the top 5 and see what exactly has transpired so far. But relax and take a seat on the couch.
Eddie Lacy - There was quite a bit of preseason hype around they young Green Bay running back. Things haven't been working out so well and his three week point total just barely cracks double digits. But be patient. He's a talented back and the Green Bay offense on a whole has not been clicking, but they have a knack for getting better as the season goes on.
Matt Forte - Week two was quite the setback for Forte's stats as Chicago had to play from behind for a lot of the game. Great team win, but did not translate into much for Forte owners. Remain strong, Forte is part of a great offense that seems to be getting better. He'll continue to have more weeks like week 1.
Adrian Peterson - Yikes. No silver lining here, but you can overcome! Get creative with a trade and take some chances on the waiver wire. Embrace this as a challenge and just think, when you are bringing home the championship, you'll be able to do so despite your first round, likely top 3 pick, being gone for the season. Nobody foresaw that one coming...well, maybe some did.
Jamaal Charles - Injury woes. Such high hopes here after the fantasy rich season he had in 2013. He didn't do much when he was healthy in week 1, but he appears to be on the mend and you know what he's capable of. Hopefully you grabbed Knile Davis and have no plans of getting rid of him even after Charles gets back to full health.
LeSean McCoy - You definitely have the least to complain about with the first two weeks both resulting in double digit point performances. Week 3 was a different story, yielding a mere 22 yards on 19 attempts. Also, Darren Sproles has been on a tear and appears to be eating into some of McCoy's work. But, have faith, he's the heart and soul of Philadelphia's offense and will put up big numbers.
