This is a pretty good article talking about ACL injuries and returning players... https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/analysis/the-impact-of-acl-surgery-on-fantasy-performance-running-backs/
Breece was looking awesome pre-injury, but I wouldn't put too much stock in him this year. Statistically it should be a decline in efficiency this season. Hopefully we can work him back in slowly and he can be back to 100% and feel confident and comfortable in his knee going forward.
I think there is hope that it wasn’t due to him making a cut when he injured that perhaps confidence won’t be as much of an issue, but I think that’s wishful thinking. I think we will see the backfield have more split time with some rooks. Maybe carter has a little bounce back also.
Agree that the backfield will be more by committee. Here's hoping an established passing game will alleviate the backfield pressure a bit. I think having Rodges complete some easy check downs will help confidence all around.
Oh no doubt Rodgers is going to alleviate pressure on just about everyone. Could you imagine breece running last year with an actual threat at qb to complete a pass and not throw it in the stands? Breece against a 7 man front with AVT leading could have hit 2k.
