CJ Donaldson Jr.

We also do see running backs, tight ends usually forced to kinda stay in the block a little bit more when they are facing such a blitz-happy team like the Minnesota Vikings.

So honestly, you could see a lot more C.J. Donaldson out there.

Kamara did get banged up last week as well, which is another thing to figure.

Mid-tier RB3 for me.

And, um, and then in due time, I do feel like some of my rookie wide receivers in Makai Lemon and Ted, and Ted Hurst are gonna start picking up.

I also picked up CJ Donaldson.

Um, so we're-- Jonah Coleman, I like what he was doing before he got hurt, so we'll see.

Um, I did like what Jakobi Lane was doing before he got hurt, so-

They took him out.

He got a little bit banged up or whatever, and saw some C.J. Donaldson as where.

But, like, you know, Kamara 19% target share, doing what Alvin Kamara does, earning targets as a running back.

He was targeted on 37% of his routes, almost 40% of the routes he's running.

Hm.

Seven, seven carries.

C.J. Donaldson, we mentioned, uh, in terms of how the reps are being distributed.

Same number of snaps of, as him.

Uh, Kamara had 18 routes on, on the night.

Uh, CJ Donaldson, your guy, had 13.

[laughs]

Uh, Kendrie Miller had nine.

So still dealing with that knee a little bit.

Um, CJ Donaldson also came in late and got some work there, so they might be seeing what they have in Donaldson to potentially take the work away from Kendra Miller in your super deep leagues, in your dynasty leagues.

You might put in a one or a $2 claim for CJ Donaldson to see what that can turn into.

But Kendra Miller, one of those guys that like we have been talking about in fantasy content for what feels like a decade now.

Still just 24 years old.

Like, if Travis was there, inactive.

Like, I'm ready to say, "Hey, C.J. Donaldson has looked way more efficient than Kendre Miller has."

Wh- what's happened with him, just, like, the, the, the talent that we've seen in the past has been sucked away?

I don't know.

You know, he's healthy.

That's the best thing I can say for him, is he's healthy enough to play.

But you will not convince me that he is a better option out there than C.J. Donaldson, who was already on the field constantly as your pass protector anyway.

So much so that him being on the field is a tell that you're passing the ball because you never let him run it.

I'm up a point in this game.

And the drive starts, and it's hand-off, hand-off, hand-off to C.J. Donaldson, right? It's just – Right.

And by the way, he plays football for the Saints.

Yeah.

Maybe five out of the last 15 carries, but- Maybe.

I guess I see two, but maybe that's just two lost.

But for those that weren't watching the end of this game because you had no reason to, C.J. Donaldson starts getting the football.

And so it's obvious that if you're going to hand the ball off, the Saints are conceding.

I think that's very good advice.

All right, C.J. Donaldson in New Orleans.

Uh, never Kendre Miller.

Donaldson had 4.1 yards per carry last night to Kendre Miller's 2.8. I'm sorry, that's over the four games.

Uh, Miller always looks like a fraud, man, and then he fumbled last night, and that was about the end of seeing Kendre Miller on the field.

C.J. Donaldson's an undrafted rookie.

He's out of Ohio State.

I don't know how much there is to this, but I wanted to put him on here because Alvin Kamara got banged up a little bit.
