Just for context, I am in a 10 teamer, .5PPR , where we start 2 WRs, 2 RBs and a FLEX . 6 Bench spots.
I am starting BRIAN HILL and TEVIN COLEMAN , and flexing JAMES WHITE , all these OVER David Johnson this week. (I also roster these other RBs..... Matt Breida , Devonta Freeman, Latavius Murray, and obviously , David Johnson on the bench) For various reasons I opted NOT to handcuff DJ recently, but I did have Chase Edmonds weeks ago.
Reading the news bits, it "seems" as though DJ is healthy, well........ at least not on the injury report. Kingsbury said he is obviously slowed by injuries.
One would hope DJ sits this week, he could stay out and get healthy through the bye week and come back fresh week 13. (and it actually seems like he will take the field and play this week)
FWIW - In this post, further up thread ~~~~~~> https://forums.footballguys.com/forum/topic/725048-dynasty-and-redraft-david-johnson-rb-arizona-cardinals/?do=findComment&comment=22286760
I commented that I think Kliff Kingsbury may be using a bit of gamesmanship weekly concerning his RBs, and other starters. I don't know that is the case, but I am watching his comments and AZ news closely to see what he is saying each week. (One week DJ is "our bellcow", the next Edmonds goes slam off, and yet another week he says "Drake will be integrated slowly into our offense" and he has a monster game only a couple days after signing with the organization)
It literally wouldn't surprise me if DJ comes out guns blazing this week, runs for 80-100 yards and has a TD. But it also wouldn't surprise me if DJ gets very little carries, and looks injured in the process.
I personally am not trusting DJ until he has a solid showing. I know some are going to be forced to start him this week due to injuries, bye issues etc. etc., but I am benching him until he looks better or hes a desperation start due to other circumstances.
