Originally planned to start Crowell over Clement. With the game tonight I don't have the luxury of waiting to see if he practices on Friday. Going with Clement.
Acting like 16/34 is significantly worse than 18/44 is bickering or nit picking. Has nothing to do with viewpoint.

Just pointing out how easy it is to cherry pick games and complain about those performances. That seemed pretty obvious, but I'm happy to spell it out.
Tough call... I would want a piece of the KC/NE game for sure... but non-ppr with James White is a tough call. I have Aaron Jones too and really want to start him over other really good options in 0.5 PPR, I feel like the SF game is a perfect gamescript and I love starting guys in primetime.
I just spelled out the point of the Hunt reference. You claimed to be insulted by me spelling it out. Then you asked a poorly worded question that implies you didn't understand the point of the reference or the spelled out explanation. Rather than repeat myself, I'm going to do this thread a favor and ignore you going forward. Adios.

It's only 1 point/20 yards too. White's value in that league is entirely TD-dependent. Luckily for me, he's been scoring virtually every week, but on the weeks he doesn't score, he's worth about 3 points. I feel like Jones could be a gold mine if they ever make him the lead back, but they seemed locked into the committee, which more or less makes him TD-dependent for value too, as he's not likely to reach the 100 yard threshold on 12 carries. Of course, you can say the same about our boy Crowell - with the exception of last week (during which, naturally, he was riding my bench.)
I was trying to contribute meaningfully and as a guy that rosters Crow but can't use him; I think the other guys are the same. I'm not sure your attitude is right in this respect, and I say that respectfully and cordially. I think the disagreement between the two people deserves a sort of dispassionate response.
So, ended up adding Kittle to Crowell to get Brees.
Geez, sorry. I pointed out a flaw in someone's logic. As soon as I realized the guy just wanted to argue a strawman, I de-escalated it as quickly as possible (by utilizing ignore). Seemed like a relatively brief spat and it is over.
I think it's a good sign (better than riding a bike on the sideline or walking through drills) and with Hilton and Doyle out, it should at least be a close game. Hard to advise anyone to start him, though. If they get up by a lot or down by a lot, they could pull him due to this injury. No need to make it worse if the game is out of hand. Zero mention of him in Bremel's mid-week column. Maybe he'll talk about him in his gameday report.
Powell went on IR today, FF. He's out at least eight games.
Yeah, sorry, the Powell news is what I meant by he still can't be trusted. In the leagues in which I have both, I was hoping if one were to miss time the other would carry significant value. But with Powell's injury early in week 7 and Crowell's usage remaining constant, I don't feel like the injury actually helps Crowell much if at all.
I totally get what you're saying now. Sorry, man. Should have been obvious you were talking about Cannon. Just trying to help. But they were getting wiped by MN so they kept their COP back in.
It's all good - I should've led off with the Powell to the IR mention in case anyone wasn't already aware.
I don't see many open spots left that wouldn't be better filled with a cheaper rookie - but the guy does have talent. I think his "mental" shortcomings are what's hurt him from being a consistent force.
Eagles, maybe. Definitely a possibility for the Bucs, who may not want to go into the draft with Ronald Jones or Peyton Barber top of the depth chart. Crowell isn't good, but at least he's not bad.
I would trade him immediately, or before the end of April. That is if anybody wants him.
I am curious. Do we know if these expectancy ratings take into account the ####tiness of the offense as a whole? So for example if a RB gets stuffed on 1st and 10, aren't the odds of a scoring drive a bit higher for a Brady/Rodgers led team (for example) than for what Cleveland was doing all those years and what the Jets did last year. Not trashing on either of those teams, but Crowell has always looked very good to me, and I wonder what he could do in a good offense. For the record I think both those offenses are pointed up, but certainly not under Crowell's tenures.
My friends here in Houston tell me that the Texans owner, Bob McNair, is a stickler for not bringing in anyone with character issues. That may or may not be true. I'm not sure they would take him after the cop comment controversy. His wiping incident probably wouldn't help either.
Yeah, I do not think that the expectancy ratings are normalized for the entire offense. I think that's a flaw in the methodology.
Yeah ok. Well I'm not the biggest Crowell drum beater by any means but he is on my FFPC roster bubble on one team. If he gains value by going somewhere like Tampa, then I need to make a trade or two because I would hate to drop him or one of my other guys in his place. Dede Westbrook, Jordan Reed?
Teams with poor OLs & rookie QBs rarely produce RBs with outstanding numbers. I find him to be a good, not great, RB. IMO, that puts him about #24 when compared to the 32 starters in the NFL.
Other than TB he's likely not much of an upgrade as to what they already have in place - but admittedly it's not like he's battling with Barry Sanders at any of the spots either.
Yeah I think that's about right. So if he goes somewhere that can be a top 12 offense, maybe he can finish higher than 24? I don't think anyone is saying is great, but a high RB2 season seems reasonable to me if he goes to the right place. But as has been mentioned there aren't too many of those.
