It's time to lay off of Bishop Sankey. Much of the NFL media -- especially the fantasy football media -- has gone to great lengths to warn fans of Sankey's demise. Analysts check the stat sheet and see a 3.7 yards per carry average and immediately jump ship without figuring out why.
Let me set the scene for you.
Sankey's 152 carries last season were marred by brutal offensive line play and a coaching staff that seemed like they didn't have a clue when it came to the run game. Ken Whisenhunt infamously cited Sankey's footwork as the reason for not giving the 2014 second round pick more carries early.
