96 OBJ FB reviews?

Hey guys! I was considering buying the 96 OBJ card, I am Vert and need a FB. Not sure if it is worth it but 91 speed and 350lbs sounds way to good to pass up on. IK it is hard to review a FB, but too anyone that has him, what are your thoughts?

Good points above fellas.

I’ve been mulling Emmitt again to get some vert flexibility. I sold him a little low but he’s still affordable enough. OBJ just posted at 3.3 mil bin, with two others at 5mil. Silly.

Mostert just dropped, looks like he will be a good HB but dunno how much resources I want to put into him immediately just yet.  He cannot block per his stats. 18 imb. Oooof

Maybe I’ve been lucky but FB Luke hasn’t fumbled once.  Maybe those boosts actually work. Have plus 7 carry from two slots.

Plus I love Brown and can make him 98 for cheaper than OBJ.

I run vert and he’d allow me to mix things up but I’m loving OOP FB Luke. So happy with him. 

Had 94 Emmitt and Okoye prior. Liked both.

I do like fullbacks this season more than prior ones as very few halfbacks (especially in vert) can block.

I suspect OBJ will be more rare unless something changes.

96 Jim Brown can play fullback if a new and easy to obtain guy comes along, (possibly Mosert).

As far as OBJ just know his low aware sometimes bites you. At least last year. But he’s fun. Is a better blocker than most, but doesn’t pancake everything like Luke. Curious what he’s selling for. I have a feeling that card and guys like oop Zeke return somehow. Maybe even with the pro bowl tomorrow.

I'm still using Okoye and he's been nice for me. I run a lot. Outside of getting ea'd here and there, he's been everything I need and want. Pretty shifty too if ya ask me. I'm going to get Luke as soon as I can though. I'm sure he'll hold that spot down for a while. But, if you're looking to utilize him in the passing game then obj is definitely worth the look.

Did some gameplay with him and he is really good. Dagger is OP and he never runs for less than 4 yards on FB Dive. Would def recommend for his price

This is slightly relevant, but in our LVL this guy that played me fumbled the ball when he ran with fullback Kuechly which was picked up by MLB Kuechly. So take that as you will about high ovr fullbacks.

Thanks All for the input. I had 3 mil originally and won a bid on OBJ for 2.4 mil. Not sure if it was worth it, but he will be on my team for a good while. I feel like I should have saved more than 600k for the Super Bowl, but eh I don't really care. Excited to try him out

If you have the coin, he’s certainly good for vert.

I got 91 CMAC do I the dirty work for me. He creates enough of a disruption for me to run past the defender, and he’s also fast enough to run down the field with me. If I were you, I would rather look into getting a good RBK WR/TE at slot and WR2.

An expensive Vert or WC FB is what I call a luxury item. Like owning a Bentley. Sure it's a better car than what you have. But is it worth it.

If your whole team is 96+ OVR I say it's worth doing. If you still have 94 or under OVRs you are better off using the 3+ Million on those positions. 

Just my 2 cents

I had a lot of fun with him last year. May try him out but 94 NFL 100 Emmitt has been good for me. Blocks well and fits through the hole where OBJ might have some issues. Depending on price, may grab him and eventually use him to evo Emmitt when the time is right.

Nice big and fast card. For sure a beast

He's very nice, I run Mesh for 2 pointers and Bo was dropping a ton of passes so got Odell. Falls forward and blocks well from what I've seen, catches like a WR for plays that involve your FB like mesh and PA Power O. If you aren't low on coins I'd definitely recommend.
