5.8 ypcI disagree on this. Royce is good, and such a different runner that the combo is tough for defenses. That said, Phil has proven he should be option 1.
It’s actually unbelievable. UNBELIEVABLE. That Phil is the best RB on the Broncos. Not a diss by any measure just simply incredible the way the stars aligned. Also didn’t he run for more than 1700 yards as a senior in a p5 conference? Atrocious he wasn’t drafted.
So, when they eventually cut Booker, does Phil get #23 back?
Not this year, but I bet he would next year. He has a quote saying he is just borrowing it.So, when they eventually cut Booker, does Phil get #23 back?
They won’t cut Booker this year, so the question was really more about future years. I don’t think the NFL allows mid-season number changes anyway.Not this year, but I bet he would next year. He has a quote saying he is just borrowing it.
He didn't even get an invite to the combine. Dumbasses.Atrocious he wasn’t drafted.

Got him in my dynasty league for the same reasons...SOOOOO glad I did. Phillip has only just begun - we ain't seen nothin', yet.I did fantasy football for the first time ever and picked Taz for sentimental reasons...had no idea it'd pay off like this...plus RF is out and they're playing the Chiefs...he should get me a ton of points this week!
Obviously this comparison is ridiculous for a variety of reasons but...

Haha, same here. Probably everyone on AB who is playing Fantasy took him as a late round lottery pick. JACKPOT!!Picked Phil and Shaquon in my PPR fantasy league. Cash money for my running backs.
Drafted him for sentimental reasons as well, but have had him in the starting lineup every week since then.
Same here.Haha, same here. Probably everyone on AB who is playing Fantasy took him as a late round lottery pick. JACKPOT!!
Disagree with the first point, agree with the second. He's gotten better every year, but he's not night and day different.People like to say things like, "If you would have paid attention to him at CU, you'd know he was capable of being successful in the NFL", but IMO, if we're being objective, he never looked as explosive at CU as he does for the Broncos. Sure, he had his "wow" moments in Boulder, but every time he touches the ball in the NFL, he has a burst that makes NFL defenses look like they're running at collegiate speed. I don't think even the most rabid CU fan thought he would be as good as he's been to this point.
I sure did.Haha, same here. Probably everyone on AB who is playing Fantasy took him as a late round lottery pick. JACKPOT!!

Some coaches aren't as concerned with pass blocking from their backs as many on here think. Tons of top flight backs can't block to save their lives.I'm amazed how many snaps Booker is getting late in games. When he's out there you are essentially down a man. I still haven't seen him as a crucial pass blocker (I've seen him get burned a couple times.) When he runs or goes for screen passes he's a huge downgrade compared to Freeman and Lindsay.

Booooo....I know people want to see more of him with the Broncos but if I was the coach I would continue to use him in a similar fashion to the way they are.
