i really wish this guy reported to camp on time so i could take him with confidence at 1.02 in a redraft PPR
unfortunately, i can't take the risk that he doesn't play at all
in reality, no one in the first round should take that risk either - but someone will
SJax and his agent haven't even been TALKING with the Rams office this whole time!

Coach Scott Linehan says the Rams and holdout running back Steven Jackson have had talks about a possible contract extension.
With training camp practices over, the Rams need to get these talks moving. He's their best player. "I know they have had some talks," Linehan said. "I know it's moving along. Whatever that means, it sounds positive to me." Aug. 15 - 9:18 pm et

Rams OL Mark Setterstrom was carted off the field Saturday with a knee injury. Scott Linehan said after the game Setterstrom likely suffered a fractured kneecap.
Are the Rams offensive line injury problems starting again? The same knee knocked Setterstrom out for 13 games last season. He opened this camp as a starter, but was a reserve last week after injury issues early in camp. Linehan said the injury would likely be season-ending. Aug. 16 - 11:00 pm et

1.08 in 12 team non-PPR last night
You should be thrilled. Go look back through the history of RB's that held out during camp and see how many missed regular season games as a result. You have a lot of stupid owners in your league.
I'm happy but not thrilled...with the O'line situation and him not being in camp reminds me a lot of the LJ situation last year..

I just drafted yesterday and got him at 1.07. Everyone was too nervous to take him and I nearly did myself.
I hope he reports or I'll be starting Lendale White and Brandon Jacobs...

I am in #3 and passed on him at 6. I was hoping he would fall to me, but faced with the Addai/SJ decision, I took Addai.

Much ado about nothing, IMO - there is no way the Rams will allow the season to open w/o renegotiating with SJax. Reminds me a lot of Priest and the Chiefs a few years ago.
Unless folks really believe SJax needs preseason to be ready for the season, I don't see a reason to do more than downgrade SJax to the bottom of the top-5/top-6 (ie - LT, AD, Westie, Addai, maybe Gore, then SJax)

Took Portis over him at 1.7 in my money league yesterday. Don't want to deal with his crap. that Line still sucks too, Portis is much safer.
Marc Levin
Hangs out with Oscar Zeta Acosta
Hmm, I kind of forgot about Portis.He looks really good right now - in a PPR, I'd take SJax over Portis, but in a non-PPR league this would be a tough call.This is interesting to me since I am in the 5-hole this Thursday and am likely to have my choice of at least three of Addai/Gore/SJax/Portis (assuming LT-Westie-AD go 1-2-3, there's a slight chance 4 could be Brady to the Pats freek who drafts at 4)

It wasn't?If you combine the holdout with the question marks on the offensive line... I would say the situations are very similar.Totally different. LJ's problem wasn't holding out.Didn't work out till well with LJ just last year

Props to all who have the fortitude to grab him in the first round, because I think I speak for a lot of folks when I say that I need the psychological comfort of knowing that my first rounder is a guy that I can count on. Starting things out with a holdout just gives me a sick feeling in my stomach. I know that most of the precedent suggests that he will report, but my gut simply won't let me get over the fact that he's not in camp.

Forgive me. I assumed we were talking about LJ's production before he broke his foot. I believe the original point was that LJ held out most of camp, had an O-Line in turmoil and struggled as a result. I'll add that the entire Rams offense looks like garbage right now. The Chiefs starting offense wasn't exactly lighting it up in the preseason last year. So the situation in my eyes is very similar.Christo said:Sure.

Besides, it was pretty much the consensus around here that you should let someone else draft him in the first round then try to grab him after he didn't perform well early. On top of the fact that he missed most of camp his SOS was very tough at the beginning of the year. And while he did have a rough start over the first five weeks, he scored 20, 22 and 22.5 points (PPR scoring) in the three games before he was injured.

Well I remember much of the talk surrounding LJ last year because I owned him in a keeper league. So I followed a lot of the discussion through the preseason. Most of the negative discussion about Johnson focused on the following points:1) He's missing too much camp and may end up having a slow start as a result.There was nothing for you to assume.

2) He may be more prone to injury as a result of not being in football shape.
3) His offense line had issues and wasn't looking nearly as good as the previous year.
4) He was backed up by erratic QB play.
5) He would be playing for a team that will lose a lot of games, hurting his value.
Now, if you look at Jackson and his situation with the Rams....
1) Same deal... missing too much camp.
2) LJ's injury came in the middle of the season and had nothing to do with being in football shape... but still a concern for Jackson.
3) The Rams have some issues on the O-Line.
4) I would say that Bulger's play so far could be classified as erratic.
5) The Rams will probably lose a lot of games.
So my point is, you can easily draw parallels between the 2 situations. But hey, that's just my opinion. Carry on.
