Few players have a fantasy football aura quite like Christine Michael's. Countless owners had been waiting patiently for him to seize the lead gig in Seattle from Marshawn Lynch. Sure enough, pretty much the polar opposite happened. The team brought on Fred Jackson, and traded Michael for, well, not a lot despite spending second-round draft capital on him.
Joseph Randle's criticisms of DeMarco Murray for not capitalizing fully behind the Dallas offensive line in 2014, are looking rather silly now. Randle's struggles and big-play reliance have carried over into 2014. Randle owns a Success Rate of 33.78%, which means that just more than a third of his carries have added expected points to Dallas' offense. Talk about leaving things on the field.
Despite owning a Rushing NEP per carry of -0.05 (the same as Randle's), Darren McFadden's mark is north of 40%, which says a lot about Joseph Randle.
The takeaway here is that Randle isn't getting things done, and neither is McFadden. Michael took the majority of first-team reps earlier this week. If he gets the nod, then he could pay off big time.
