RB that will help you get on top.

To some it may be a bit early for fantasy football posts but for me...the season never stops. With Basketball season winding down & Baseball coming to a start I find a few moments to reminisce about last years Super bowl loss I suffered as well as the victory I obtained. Path one was a perfectly constructed draft with only 1 free agent acquisition in which the post will be about. Path two was of 1000 free agents I needed due to injuries & well...a few bad choices! Anyway onto the point. TRUE VALUE...Rob Kelly was the single free agent I was able to muster up and boy what a nice piece of the puzzle he turned out to be. I was lucky enough to pick Fat Rob up with seven weeks left. In that period his statistics were as such: 118 touches (including 10 receptions), 500 total yards (including 118 receiving) and 5 touchdowns. All this against five top fifteen Defenses. Fat Rob came into the season as the third runningback on the depth chart and didn't grab hold of the starting role until week 8. Head Coach Jason Gruden has already stated on multiple occasions how much he loves Robert Kelley and wants to run the ball more frequently. Factor that in with the departure of Desean Jackson and the fact that they now have a healthy offensive line & tight ends. Not to mention a fresh draft class, a full off-season as the starter and full gameplay designed specifically for him with time behind it...BOOM he's a top 5 running back. Le`Veon Bell, David Johnson, Ezekiel Elliott...Rob Kelley?
