I believe he is somewhat behind in some sence. He can be good when you are in trouble as his fury can help you come back from a difficult situation when for example facing these 6-set yellow talismans. I do believe his problem in the current meta is that (atleast the way i play it) you currently need a good start to get ahead otherwise the opponent (with them talismans) just runs you over and he is more of a "comeback"-type of eddie.
So basically his fury fits the current meta great but the rest of his attacks makes him fall behind compared to the eddies you mention.
