Snead:

“The playtime and what their role is will definitely evolve as we get back to training camp, begin practicing, get back on the field and start playing football,” he began after being asked about which RB to draft first in fantasy. “The interesting thing, the tidbit early over the course of Malcolm Brown’s career, he has – and this is not for fantasy football and it’s probably not for highlights – but if you’re a fan of the Rams and you’ve watched 65 plays of offense down in and down out during a game, those people who tuned in for him know that he has moved the chains and scored some important touchdowns when defenses get tight and try to stop it. Whether it’s a third-and-1 or 2, or if it’s a second-and-goal from the 1 or 2, or third-and-goal. So touchdowns mean something in fantasy, so maybe that’s a good tidbit.”

“Darrell Henderson showed at Memphis and we do think what he showed at Memphis definitely has a chance to translate to our league and that’s the ability to hit home runs and I know that means something in fantasy,” Snead said.

“We have three running backs, we have three that we really like and that is an honest answer to see how when you start with three important players that you want to give playtime to, how it evolves into how many carries or touches or snaps in a game they get is to be determined based on how we’re scheming against a certain opponent, how one of the players is playing or has gotten hot or not hot or is banged up or not. So those things will come to fruition during the 2020 season.”

“I know Cam has proven in the ACC playing for a team basically that hasn’t been as manned with the type of players Florida State is used to in the past and he was able to overcome that and be their go-to guy so that’s going to be fun to watch to see how that evolves,” Snead said.

“Time will tell. Time always tells,” Snead said. “We have three running backs, we have three that we really like and that is an honest answer to see how when you start with three important players that you want to give playtime to, how it evolves into how many carries or touches or snaps in a game they get is to be determined based on how we’re scheming against a certain opponent, how one of the players is playing or has gotten hot or not hot or is banged up or not. So those things will come to fruition during the 2020 season.”

“That’s a long-winded answer but our goal is to get that running game and our offense back to our 2017 and 2018 standards and we think those three players can help us do that,” he said.
