Enjoy.

That's the highlight video I referenced with gaping holes and celebratory dances. I don't see elite talent.

Had your eyes checked recently?

 

[shadyridr]

Could someone summarize his day for me, without a sarcastic note about how you think he did? I didn't get a chance to see, and don't want to sift through this thread of BS.

randle got hurt, michael barely played, he had one nice run, dmc beasted

 

[fantasycurse42]

Why am I still struggling to drop him?

 

[shadyridr]

Why am I still struggling to drop him?

because most sites dont let you drop players that already played a game.

I was referring to later in the week. I still think I'm gonna keep holding so dumb

 

[McGarnicle]

What the hell kind of name is Christine for a man anyway.

 

[Fear The Turtle]

Why am I still struggling to drop him?

McFadden's injury history?

 

[ATB]

Anyone would have gone off vs Giants. I didn't start Randle or CMike bc I knew it was impossible to anticipate who the hot hand would be. Turned out it was DMC.

Dallas wants DMC to be the hot hand. He's the trusted vet. CMike is the new kid with a ton of confidence who the coaching staff just knows is going to fumble or screw up a play... despite his promising talent.

They want to wait on him. But they'll roll him out if forced into a corner.

We've all been waiting on that corner. Still ain't here. But it's coming.

Randle is one down. DMC is one to go.

Bet his momma named him Christian but didn't know how to spell it.

Why not just give him the workload for one week? You've lost 4 in a row. Just do it.

I doubt they do that to McFadden after the game he had.

Look on the bright side. We can now drop him without fearing that he's about to break out. We just gained an open roster spot to use on another upside guy, an extra defense for playoffs, a handcuff, etc.

I have no problem with Michael being well behind McFadden after that performance.McFadden should clearly be the # 1 RB on the team ... he looked awesome.

Just goes to show ... Randle really is that bad !

lol what.Michael is not ahead of Randle by any stretch.

lol lol .... Where did you read that he was?

I think he misunderstood the "randle really is that bad" post. I thought you meant that if DMC comes in and does that, then Randle is clearly subpar to DMC, not to Cmike.

Now, C-Mike, there's a MAN's name!

 

[The General]

He's a poorman's Lucky Whitehead.

 

[Rimez]

have cmike & randle on my bench but now im scratching my head, DMC looked good and it should be his job now. old guys break down though so will prob stash randle but cmike will be hitting the bricks. something besides talent is keeping him off the field and it looks like dallas brought him in as injury insurance not as a role player. they were lining up lucky whitehead in the backfield for christs sake lol, how many first team reps at RB do you think that guy had? in my other league cmike was cut right after the game they didnt even wait to swap for a waiver pickup, just left an empty spot on their bench.

 

[Short Corner]

Just watch his final carry, where he plunged headfirst into the line and gained a whopping 2 yards. Guy fell over like a weeble.

Might wanna rethink that one Einstein.

This whole situation has been a huge avoid the whole year.

 

[Banger]

I picked up Michael and was excited to see what would happen after some bye week hype. Onto the next waiver wire darling.

Yeah me too. I might hang on because McFadden will get hurt soon.

Randle is one down. DMC is one to go.

Utter denial.

And sitting around waiting for and hoping for injuries while other players can help you now on the WW is a sure fire way to make a donation to your league year after year.

Good luck.

 

[jurb26]

So the rational has gone from CMike being so uber talented that there was no way he could fail and would win the job, if given a fair opportunity. Especially because only turds stand in his way. To, if every other RB in Dal and on the planet gets injured he's going to be awesome so he's a hold?

So, on a serious note. What's the Randle injury status. Any updates yet?

I'm not overly confident McFadden can stay healthy with the kind of work he got yesterday.

That dumbazz obviously don't know his Weebles !!!!

Weebles wobble but they don't fall down mother####er!!!

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

McFadden's fragility might be overstated. That was workhorse stuff yesterday, he also caught the ball and blocked expertly. He's a solid pro. He may revert to 2.5 ypc but he does everything.

 

[Banger]

This was his real shot to get some touches if they really wanted him to get touches...coming out of a bye, the starter gets injured early and he still only gets a handful of touches while they run McFadden into the ground.

I don't care to get into the prognostication as to why they aren't giving him the chance...he's dumb, a thug, whatever, I really don't really...all that matters is what happens in the games and this about as good an opportunity he was going to get and he didn't get his shot. If anything McFadden further solidified his role in the offense AND Randle is still banging around so if you have to hope for 2 players to get injured to possibly get some value good luck with that.

I'm just annoyed that I turned down Duke Johnson for Michael before the game...would've been a decent upgrade.

And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough

And I know I wouldn't be there to help ya along

So I give ya that name and I said goodbye

I knew you'd have to get tough or die

And it's the name that helped to make you strong"

And then Randle will just take over again

 

[scothawk]

New stat. Divide career yardage by number of FBG forum pages.

The lower the result the less worthy the player.

This...I'm cutting bait. My only decision is whether to cut bait on someone and use my #1 waiver claim, or wait till waivers run and grab another speculative guy.

People who claim he is incapable of staying healthy, tend to overlook that he played all 16 games in 2014. Now, while it is true that he unproduced, it was still an injury free season.

 

[tandl71]

All we need now is 3 ACL tears, a head coaching change, electro-shock therapy and counseling for his personality disorder, and a little luck, and we may have struck waiver-wire gold here...

McFadden is amazingly powerful for someone who looks like his legs could not even hold his own weight.

 

[shady inc]

With Demarco on a bye, and Foster done for the year, i can't wait to start michael against his former team next week. REVENGE GAME!!!!

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

I am going to proceed to blameshifting and point at this shirt of a thread for distracting me from the Diggs thread.

Still the drama here has almost been worth the money.

 

[Chicago Hooligan]

Yeah I dropped Sproles for Michael this week (non-PPR, Sproles basically unstartable anyway) and despite crapping out on the gamble, this thread has been its own reward.

 

[zoonation]

McFadden will be a solid play every week that he is healthy. Especially once Dez comes back. If C-Mike couldn;t get into this game in a meaningful way, he never will.

 

[Meatwad Reloaded]

Fart. Close the thread!!!!!

 

[Fat Nick]

McFadden will be a solid play every week that he is healthy. Especially once Dez comes back. If C-Mike couldn;t get into this game in a meaningful way, he never will.

This...at least the last sentence. You really couldn't script a better game line for C-Mike to get carries, and he didn't get them.

 

[FF Ninja]

McFadden will be a solid play every week that he is healthy. Especially once Dez comes back. If C-Mike couldn;t get into this game in a meaningful way, he never will.

I'm no emphatic Michael supporter, but I will argue this just to be devil's advocate.

First of all, we have to ignore all the B.S. reports about Michael being the starter and just take into account what is true The Cowboys traded for Michael late in the preseason so he started out 4th string. An injury moved him to 3rd string. After the bye week the Cowboys said Michael would be 3rd on the depth chart and they'd play the hot hand. Immediately after that, the 1st string guy gets hurt in the 1st quarter and the 2nd string guy gets hot before the 3rd string guy can even touch the ball. The Cowboys did exactly what they said they would.

I am not a Michael apologist nor am I a trolling hater. The Cowboys did what everyone should've expected them to do. They followed the depth chart and ran with the hot hand. That doesn't mean Michael will never get into a game. It just means they followed their plan. Really nothing to see here. If you've been hanging onto him at the end of your roster, keep doing so. If you're looking for excuses to hate on him, look elsewhere.

Well, he did have the 2nd most carries in the game. He only managed the 4th most yards, though.

 

[jurb26]

On the Randle injury.

(RotoWire)Randle (back) is carrying an oblique injury that could sideline him going forward, NFL Network's Rand Getlin reports.

Analysis: Randle was forced to exit Sunday's loss to the Giants after injuring his back, which reportedly relates to a prior oblique injury from the preseason. Given that situation, it's possible Randle may miss some time due to the injury, but further evaluation on Monday should help sort out his availability.

 

[LittlePhatty]

A sure bet for the cover of Madden 17?

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I hope not, as I hear there's a curse associated with it. Of course if anyone could break the curse...

 

[addicted2ff]

He was a Randle injury away from being the guy, now he's only a DMC injury away. He's sooo close guys. Keep the faith!

I think you're right that he may he may get into a game and run the ball effectively for a few series. But he is not taking the job outright. McFadden (gasp) actually looked really effective running the ball and blocking. He is also the pass catching back. He clearly has the most value in this backfield (especially in PPR). But, he will get hurt. He always does. So we may ultimately get to see what CM can do before the end of the year.

 

[Interseptopus]

Cmike was dropped in my league, how much FAAB would those in here recommend I spend on him, 75/100? 50?

This is where I am - McFadden is a decent starter until he gets hurt but it's only a matter of time, especially if he keeps getting 25+ carries a game.

I think you're overlooking the fact that last year was the first in his 7 year career that he hasn't missed at least 3 games, and he averaged under 10 carries and 12 touches per game. The guy is fragile, and the odds aren't good of him holding up if he's the workhorse.

Match this guys bid and you should be good to go, probably overpaying too

And Fred Taylor (aka Fragile Freddy) couldn't stay healthy either until he did and then was pretty much injury free for the remainder of his career. Also Demarco Murray was supposedly made of glass until last year when he started all 16 games and broke Emmitt Smith's team rushing record. No one can predict injuries and there is no data or studies I am aware of that prove that players who have been injured in the past are more likely to be injured in the future.
