The guy is basically the 2nd coming of Warrick Dunn. Perenially outperforms his draft position, just because he gets lots of yardage instead of TDs. Hes not overrated at all.

Take a look at those projections. See where Westbrook is getting ranked for next year. Then consider that he's currently the 7th best RB this year, and was 11th last year. Then again, after finishing top 12 last year, people weren't even ranking him in their top 20. Rookies were getting ranked ahead of him.

Overrated? No, its definitely the other way around.

It depends who is rating him. He isn't a feature back by any means nor is he a glorified 3rd down back. The dude has major skills in some aspects and big time flaws in others. There really is no other back to compare him to in the league right now. His success pretty much depends on quality quarterback play though.
The facts have no meaning.

Westy is a great example of elite fantasy RBs.

Look at the TOP 10 RBs. What do they all have in common?

Other than Shaun Alexander. They are all have respectable receiving skills. By week 13 they should all have 20-25 receptions minimum.

11 of the Top 20rbs have 20+ receptions.

4 other rbs have 15-19 receptions.

Only Shaun Alexander and Stephan Davis have less than 10.
