Looking at Darcy scoring history only one elite year 118. Only young so guess hard to have multiple years as elite.
Which is the real Darcy 118 or last years 102. Probably in the middle somewhere?
Somewhere in between. Heavily interrupted preseason last year, couple of sub games in there, couple where he sat at FF also. That said lot of games with Meek that hurt his average big time also.
Which means Jackson is definitely a factor to consider, so take the 120 that he averaged when fit and take away 10-15 for Jackson and you get 105-110 range which is about right, throw in a little upside and you could get back towards 115 as a reasonable best case scenario this year if he stays fit (which applies to almost every other ruck as much or more so than Darcy).
Tend to agree mate, unpopular opinion but a fit Campbell isn't that much of a downgrade on Marshall, alot better for the team than solo Rucking with a non existent forward line, these are his games over the last 2 years hes far from the hack that is being made out, some massive games.

Agree entirely, Campbell might be a better pure ruckman than Marshall and Lyon has never really valued what the rucks do around the ground, he always went for ruckmen first.
From a fantasy perspective it's bad but Marshall at FF and Campbell in the ruck makes way more sense than the opposite on field for the Saints, imo. Worse than that it makes more sense than Marshall with no Campbell and Owens at FF/CHF like they did last week.
It's definitely a reasonably expectable outcome for Marshall. The positive is he's not been terrible playing as a 2nd ruck forward so far and you'd expect once they get a couple of the KPF back that it would be over, so realistically even if he fails early, unless someone else is amazing you can probably hold until the brakes come off.
Hopefully Campbell plays this week and we can get an idea.
