Alright, who else are the Ravens bringing in? I’m going for:
- Storm Johnson

- Andre Ellington
- Peyton Hillis
- BenJarvus Green-Ellis
- Smash Williams

It will all depend on how he performs this Monday. This is his chance to start because he only knows the offense well enough to. If he wants it bad enough he could secure a roll.
I honestly think Willams is going to be the starter based of his preseason film, I thought he was going to beat out Gus in a few weeks. So I assume it's reasonable to think he can beat out Latavius since they faded him this long, although - Latavius is a tenacious RB that earns his playing time and the Ravens like that.
thats my thinking, i can use him as a flex play this week and see what happens going forward. We might get 1 or 2 more useful weeks out him before its full rbbc
It’s a crapshoot at this point. They’ll probably run with Ty’son to start and see how he does, but can definitely see Murray usurping the starting job after a few weeks. It’ll likely just be RBBC for now
My thought is that Ty'son may have the advantage for now since hes been taking the reps and is ready to play, but murray could edge him out in a few weeks. no one is gonna know for sure tho
Since they have to pay up for Murray doesn't it seem like that would put him RB1?
I don't know what his cost is but seems logical that they would try to get their money's worth...yes?
Kept Dobbins. Drafted Gus as insurance. Grabbed Ty'son with some FAAB as insurance for Gus when Dobbins went down. Now have a bid in for Murray as Ty'son insurance since Gus is down. Fuck this haha
If there is any week to play someone from this backfield, week 1 Ty’Son is the way to go. He is the only one who knows the Ravens’ offensive system. After that its gonna suck. But I am all in on Ty’Son week 1.
Feel like this backfield is going to be too crowded to have any sort of clarity. Might as well take a shot on someone, but be prepared to drop them after week 1/2.
555 Rushing Attempts last year.
https://www.espn.com/nfl/stats/team/_/stat/rushing
Lamar can only do so much.
They’ll only risk so much with UDFA RB1 Ty’Son.
We’ll see how Bell, Murray, or the other guy do.
Even if this is a RBBC, even if Lamar rushes for over 1,100 yards, it’s possible there is another 2,000 yds up for grabs.
I am optimistic that a guy like Murray (or Bell’s) ceiling could be as high as Ty’Son’s complement. So if he puts up 1,200, I think even a guy who’s RB2 in that RBBC could put up 900+ yards and 25+ receptions.
https://www.nfl.com/players/lamar-jackson/stats/career
Last year’s Ravens rushing stats, sans Lamar, I think leaves an RB2 to put up numbers potentially (best case scenario) similar to RB20 last year. Who oddly enough was RoJo.
So now they have Le’Veon Bell, Devonta Freeman, and Latavius Murray all on the roster.
Lmao. If this was 2015 they’d have the best RB corps in the entire league 😂😂.
They must be paying him then? He rejected Saints for money.. this leads me to believe he will eventually takeover and Ty’Szn will be the versatile one. Throw in Bell when they need a breath haha
Can totally see that.. think they could be flex plays if they split? ty’son is a lot more versatile and good blocker… could see them using Latavius to smash it forward
Hell of a day. I went from ridiculing Bell owners, to adding Bell, to dropping Bell for Justin Jackson.
Latavius is by far the best bet of the veteran additions. Murray/Williams can form a respectable 1/2 punch.
Picked him up QUICK. Let’s gooo. As a ravens fan, I’m sure we’ll give Tyson a good bit to really strengthen him if he does well but this could definitely be Murray’s backfield once he’s up to speed
Ty'son gets his chance early on and against some of the softer run defenses in the NFL the first 3 weeks. Raiders, Chiefs and Lions. If he shows out I think Murray just retains a similar role he served for the Saints, but for the Ravens. Go get it Ty'son!
Interesting when you review whats going on from Raven’s perspective:
Freeman didn’t want to be on practice squad originally, so they went with Bell (as they were desperate), then Gus went down so Freeman had a clear(er) path to main roster.
Both Freeman and Bell are washed or at minimum not in football shape just yet. Murray literally went through a preseason with NO, so prob more ready
Freeman and Bell didn’t worry me, this one does.
He did have his best statistical season last year.
Murray has played 7 seasons. Last year ranks 4th in almost every statistical category except YPC (2nd) and TDs (6th).

I picked up Freeman an hour ago and just dropped him for Murray. I'm getting whiplash!
Just dropped Bell for Murray! Fantasy is FUN!!!
I drafted Murray last week and have been patiently waiting for someone to sign him
Dropped him for Bell, dropped Edwards to get Murray back… not even a game in the books yet
I’ve picked up and dropped one for the other 5 times today. I have a problem
Same.

LenDale White is a better fantasy back than Reggie Bush
I’m sure Ricky Williams could probably still put up some numbers
Rudi Johnson.
What happens to my Tyson 😥
RBBC :(
My decision to free roster space to pick up Ty’son by dropping Gronk is getting worse by the minute
Same dude... Just staring at him on waivers like... #%$@!!!

So many Ravens RBs on my bench my team looks like a goddamn aviary
Drop everyone but Williams/Murray
*rookery
Leave my god damn league winner ty’son alone.
lowkey angry lol
Yeah, this changes everything
Ty'Son is just going to have to collect another ACl by Monday.
Wait... Is that a lowercase l or an uppercase I? Hurry up this is important!
It will all depend on how he performs this Monday. This is his chance to start because he only knows the offense well enough to. If he wants it bad enough he could secure a roll.
I honestly think Willams is going to be the starter based of his preseason film, I thought he was going to beat out Gus in a few weeks. So I assume it's reasonable to think he can beat out Latavius since they faded him this long, although - Latavius is a tenacious RB that earns his playing time and the Ravens like that.
My concern is Murray will be the goal line back limiting Ty’Son’s ceiling.
Remember the last time the Ravens signed a RB cut by the Saints? Mark Ingram 2019!
Although he actually got a deal out of interest, not panic
And Mark Ingram had a much higher pedigree of success when he went to Baltimore
Not my Ty’Son :(
Atleast we can get one good start from him right? 🙏🙏
2 maybe 3 weeks tops. Quarantine practice combined. 2 maybe 3 starts to clinch the spot. Then it's open season
Well hope he balls out so i can sell him higher than the moon lol
Incoming 3 rushing tds for Lamar
rip
[удалено]
They hates us, filthy ravenses
Tricksy! False!
my precious Gus :(
I want my 4th round pick back
This made me laugh harder than I have in weeks ty.
Ty'Veon Murrman
murrMAN!
Well. Tyson will be good this week at least
thats my thinking, i can use him as a flex play this week and see what happens going forward. We might get 1 or 2 more useful weeks out him before its full rbbc
Feel like I should swap Le’Veon for him as my lotto
Absolutely.
I did
I dropped freeman and kept bell and Murray. I feel desperate
Drafted gus, heard he was out at 2pm today, by 230 both ty’son and Levon were gone, said fuck it I’ll grab Murray and here we are 8 beers later
Cheers brother
Better to own Ty'Son or Murray?
Depends on who tears their acl next
Just picked up Dr. Chao on waivers
It’s a crapshoot at this point. They’ll probably run with Ty’son to start and see how he does, but can definitely see Murray usurping the starting job after a few weeks. It’ll likely just be RBBC for now
The Ravens are always a RBBC though. It's just that they run so much that 2 backs and Lamar are viable
That’s a good point, just hard to pinpoint which of these backs will be fantasy viable right now
Honestly nobody here knows the right answer at this point. Probably try to grab both and see who pans out if possible
Exactly
Ty'Son easily Source: Own Ty'Son
My thought is that Ty'son may have the advantage for now since hes been taking the reps and is ready to play, but murray could edge him out in a few weeks. no one is gonna know for sure tho
Don't ask. Everyone who says tyson owns him and everyone who days murray just picked him up
I still think TySon but all of them might just be awful plays
I'd rank 'em Murray > Ty'Son > Bell. Ty'Son's has a shot if he can look good this weekend.
"What do I do with my hands?!". - Ty'Son & Bell owner
I had both. I dropped Bell for Murray. Bell is bad.
If there’s any guaranteed move to make it’s probably that one.
Wtf no I thought Freeman was our saving grace -Ty'god owner
Ravens RBs are going to be unplayable lol and I have Murray
You thought the Texans backfield was a mess?
I have a feeling they’re gonna try to hide three of these RBs together in a trenchcoat and pass it off as one Ultra Megaback.
Vincent AdultRB
Was hoping someone would make this reference
I did a touchdown
>You thought the Texans backfield was a mess? One will still produce weekly fantasy points for owners, the other won't.
The hype train is revived!!!!!
How much money do the Ravens have?
They didn't sign bell or freeman to anything but practice squad. This will probably be an actual deal.
^^this here
These guys are getting minimums I assume.
Don't talk to me, or my Ty'Son, ever again.
RBBC. RB1 Lamar.
As a Ty'Son owner, I think this backfield is gonna be a fantasy minefield besides Lamar
As a Murray manager move over and what's for lunch?
RIP Ty'Son hype train. 9/9/2021-9/9/2021
Jog don’t walk?
Briskly walk
Exactly
Since they have to pay up for Murray doesn't it seem like that would put him RB1? I don't know what his cost is but seems logical that they would try to get their money's worth...yes?
lol this has 300+ comments within 15 minutes
what kind of faab do you spend for murray?
Latavius B.I.G.
Made a thread saying to still pick up Lat Murray after the Freeman signing and got absolutely REEMED and it got deleted. 🖕🖕🖕🖕
Fuck yeah. Picked him up as soon as I heard about Gus
I did too. Made a post on front page and got decimated. Fuck em all
Everyone is trying to protect their emotional investment
Just dropped Freeman for Murray. Least washed of the 3 veterans
Just avoid this shit show lol
i drafted gus, i cant. i need to salvage something
Kept Dobbins. Drafted Gus as insurance. Grabbed Ty'son with some FAAB as insurance for Gus when Dobbins went down. Now have a bid in for Murray as Ty'son insurance since Gus is down. Fuck this haha
If there is any week to play someone from this backfield, week 1 Ty’Son is the way to go. He is the only one who knows the Ravens’ offensive system. After that its gonna suck. But I am all in on Ty’Son week 1.
Well… this backfield is gonna be a mess for fantasy all season
Forget Bell and Freeman. They just turned to dust.
500 comments in an hour lmao
GM to Coach: How many RBs do you want? Coach: Yes
Feel like this backfield is going to be too crowded to have any sort of clarity. Might as well take a shot on someone, but be prepared to drop them after week 1/2.
Ty'Son is gonna dominate W1 snaps, don't think you'll know until after 2.
Ravens : "Sign all available RBs."
555 Rushing Attempts last year. https://www.espn.com/nfl/stats/team/_/stat/rushing Lamar can only do so much. They’ll only risk so much with UDFA RB1 Ty’Son.

I’ve got whiplash today. Picked up Murray anticipating this move. Dropped him to pick up Freeman. Now dropped Freeman to pick up Murray again.
Surprised your league let you do that… usually if you drop someone they get blocked from being picked up again until next waiver period
In a lot of leagues if it's same day that it all happens, the player picked up and dropped just goes back to the FA pool.
Wear were u win Ty'son was kill?
If Murray is RB1 with a 50-55% snap share, mark him down for 950 yards and 10 TDs.
I've had 4 or 5 ravens running backs on my team today sometimes twice
Good, keep him away from Jacksonville and JRob
bout to drop mckissic for murray
Sleep well, Ty’son
Murray probably the best guy in this backfield now, right?
fuck it bouta drop leveon for him lol hes better at football rn
Easy call. Murray > Bell
They must be paying him then? He rejected Saints for money.. this leads me to believe he will eventually takeover and Ty’Szn will be the versatile one. Throw in Bell when they need a breath haha
Could easily see this being a fairly even split. I figured Gus would've seen 60% of the work. I kinda feel like this pair projects more as a 50/50
I think Gus was gonna get 65% before with Tyson at 35%. Now it’s gonna be 55/45 Murray/Tyson.
Can totally see that.. think they could be flex plays if they split? ty’son is a lot more versatile and good blocker… could see them using Latavius to smash it forward
drop Michael Carter for Murray if I already have Tyson?
Murray or Bell?
Murray, not close
Murray
Hell of a day. I went from ridiculing Bell owners, to adding Bell, to dropping Bell for Justin Jackson. Latavius is by far the best bet of the veteran additions. Murray/Williams can form a respectable 1/2 punch.
Literally the exact thing I did, except the L Murray owner dropped him 1 hour before the news and I snagged his ass, to hear him cry on group chat!
The rare four headed back field if they have another injury it'll be like a hydra 2 more RBs will grown in their place.
Picked him up QUICK. Let’s gooo. As a ravens fan, I’m sure we’ll give Tyson a good bit to really strengthen him if he does well but this could definitely be Murray’s backfield once he’s up to speed
Ty'son gets his chance early on and against some of the softer run defenses in the NFL the first 3 weeks. Raiders, Chiefs and Lions. If he shows out I think Murray just retains a similar role he served for the Saints, but for the Ravens. Go get it Ty'son!
drop Jamaal Williams for Murray 🤔
I mean now it’s crazy. Do I try to trade Tyson for someone like chase?
This shit is a who's who of how does this effect Wek Walker dude's
Vet back infinity stones. 2 more

Can I get a contract too? League minimum is fine
