Michael Turner lack of love

Has there been a thread about Kubiaks turner projections? They are so low across the board for a guy who's basically been a monster since he got to ATL.

I don't think his projections are all that far off. He's going to be valued less because he has never been part of any passing game. So for a guy that plays first and second down, still being ranked as a RB1 in my PPR league, I think his rush projections are pretty generous.

He didn't play that much (or well) last year so "been a monster" seems like stretching it a little bit. He did great in his first year as a starter with a rookie QB. They basically rode him into the ground. I hear he's in better shape but I think most coaches have learned to limit touches to increase effectiveness.

1,300 yards is not a slouch projection (maybe you need to update your KUBIAK, because they boosted him quite a bit a few updates in). The main reason he's so low on my KUBIAK is because he's worthless in my PPR league.
