Damn. That’s crazy man. I haven’t seen him go later than 15 in any mock I’ve done with industry peeps

too high on S-Jax

dude had 5 TD’s last year and he is getting old quick.

by James Westfall on Aug 16, 2025 7:21 PM EDT reply actions

He is at 5% body fat and looks great. Hard to believe that S-Jax has only missed 2 games in the last 3 seasons. Rams were a disaster last year.

not too sure what body fat has to do with his fantasy production...

he has always been a physical specimen, but that offensive line is not going to be doing him any favors plus for the first time it looks like he will be sharing some carries with another RB. In this case it would be Isaiah Pead. Last season he had 10 games where he rushed for less than 76 yards. I will be avoiding him.
