Granted I don't play in non-PPR or leagues where you can start >2 RBs, but BJGE is about as opposite as you can get in terms of RBs I want to get my hands on after the first three weeks of this season.

PIerre Thomas?

PIerre Thomas?

sell high? He doidn't do anything more with Ingram's carries than Ingram was able to

ITT: People suggesting you target good RBs. Brilliant observations, all.

Gio is just getting warned up.

Don't think I've ever seen a "buy high" thread before. Odd.

If Reggie Bush can stay healthy....he's the Superior RB#1 in PPR

Lawfirm - I don't remember such a love fest for Gio Bernard, but it's getting twisted. Bernard isn't going to outscore Lawfirm by a whole lot going forward, and can be had for free on waiver wires in some leagues. While if you poll the Gio owners, they think he's pretty much untouchable. I'll bet against them.

As far as I know Gio was widely drafted. Any league in which he's still on waivers (especially after his week 2 performance) is probably not that competitive.

Gio is definitely not untouchable in redrafts, but he's way more valuable than BJGE at this point. He's earned a larger workload every week and delivered. BJGE is running 2.8 YPC, and his fumble last week doesn't help his cause.

I think he meant he wants to get his hands on BJGE and toss him aside for Gio.

No, I think BJGE will continue to be the thorn in the side of Gio owners, having flex value all season long. I don't own Gio, and at his current price don't want him. Give me second and third helpings of Lawfirm at his going price though.

this thread could have been so much better. lets name off some other backs i have to give the farm away to get

Then why don't you get it on the right track...

Not really observations. The guy asked which RB's we're targeting. I take that to mean he wants to know which RB's we are actively pursuing in trades. By naming guys like Shady and Charles, all we're doing is honestly answering the guy's question.

I don't disagree with you. I don't think BJGE is totally going away any time soon despite his YPC and the fumble yesterday. Especially when the weather gets cold and when the Bengals are leading in the second half. But by the same token, BJGE is far from the automatic short yardage guy, as we've seen the past few weeks.

Franklin passed the eye test today... Would love to be able to get him cheap from an owner who is worried that he'll be back to the pine when Starks/Lacy are healthy.

Plus, he fumbled the game away.

I know this isn't Tom coughlin, but how much, if at all, does this Franklin fumble affect franklins playing time going forward?

I think it will probably affect Franklin in short yardage situations. If Lacy/Starks are healthy I could see something reminiscent to how the Ravens ran Rice and McGahee a couple years back. Yardage and catches for Franklin. TDs for Lacy/Starks.

how in the world did you come to this conclusion?

McFadden? I guess he'll try to play his way into this conversation tomorrow night.

2 touchdowns tonight. Like I said...he's in the conversation. Total stud.

But seriously...even though it was an overall very bad performance tonight, I'm still happy to be a McFadden owner simply because he's on the field more than last year and is getting GL work.
