I don't think GB will want to wear down Brandon Jackson with a bunch of touches. Kuhn will get his carries and he will get all of the GL carries. He is the confirmed #2 back. He is a lock for 2 TD's this weekend against the lowly Bills at home. GB will probably score at least 45 this weekend. Look for Kuhn to carve out his piece of the pie. Start him with confidence this weekend.

In my dynasty league, my RB are weaker than a strip club gin and tonic. I’m going up against a behemoth of a team this weekend. I’m sure glad Kuhn is a lock for two TD’s at home against the Bills because I’m going to need all 12 of those points. I’m hoping for at least 10 rushing yards too so he should finish with at least 13.
 
I'm a new Brandon Jackson owner and I'm trying to decide whether to drop Huggins for Kuhn. How good would Kuhn be with 15 carries a game?

Wow, 15 carries? I picked him up in hopes of 8-10 carries and GL work. At 15 carries plus GL work on that offense, he would be my every week FLEX starter in my 16 team league!Sharks, I would like to hear how the work may be divided up, IF GB does not go out and trade for another RB? I can see GB easing Jackson in thus allowing Kuhn about 10 touches this week PLUS GL work.

sounds like a hawk move to pick him up
 
I still think GB makes a deal in the next few weeks to shore up their RB situation-let's be honest, Jackson has never been a paragon of physical health and durability, and you are delusional if you think Kuhn is the answer. With Starks at least six weeks from seeing the practice field, Jakcson's proclivity to get banged up, and Kuhn's lack of talent, I think the guy to own in the GB backfield is not currently on their roster.

Yes, but if he is not on the roster he will NOT get me any fantasy points this week. I am not saying that Kuhn is the answer. Although, when you play in a 16 team league he just may be a tempoarary solution for the time being. Back in 2007 before being named the starter, many did NOT think that a RB that was 3rd on the depth chart was the answer either...his name was Ryan Grant.
 
Some donk in my big $$$ league just spent $300 of his free agent blind bidding money on Kuhn ($1000 for season), he's clearly drinking the kool-aid

 
Just dropped McFadden for the guy. I know McFadden has a good matchup this week but it's only a matter of time until he gets hurt/shares time with Bush.

Jackson sucks. Glad to get Kuhn while he's cheap.

 
Kuhn's a worthy flier for sure. He'll likely get the gravy, but will he get the meat? Remains to be seen, but GB favors a between-the-tackles run game and Jackson has enough previous health niggles to like Kuhn's outlook at the moment.

If Jackson were to go down, that would likely force Ted's hand to make a more significant move beyond just adding Nance.

<my one cent>

If B-Jax goes down and the Packers are forced to make a move, why not go after Willis McGahee? Tough, experienced, under-used runner that could plug-n-play in that offense pretty quickly. I think it's a great fit. Will it happen? Probably not.

</my one cent>

 
Thinking about dropping Turner for Kuhn in my local redraft league. The "Burner" looked anything but on Sunday, I don't want to waste all season thinking he's a must-start just because of where I drafted him and then being disappointed in the results on a weekly basis. Better to shed those kinds of question marks from the roster early in the season and just roll with John "The TD Vulture" Kuhn from here on out. Just not sure how much of my cap to bid on him, I'm thinking he goes for 25-40% this week.

I'm sure a lot of "sharks" will think this is a bad idea... and I will direct them to the multiple bronze trophies, engraved with my name, sitting on the mantel in my man cave. Fortune favors the bold.

:popcorn: I'm sure you mean well, but I'd listen to "sound" advice like that if I wanted to go 7-7 every year. I'm looking to win the big bucks (again). Moves like this are how it's done. I'm not managing my team based on what some fantasy football calculator says.
 
I think you guys are expecting too much. Keep in mind the Packers love to throw at the goal line too. Sure Kuhn will get in every now and then, but if you're expecting McGahee like scores it's not going to happen. People are spending way too much and dropping guys they shouldn't be dropping.

:ph34r: This guy clearly Gets It.
 
there has been some info out there stating that 5+ teams have called Buffalo with regards to Lynch.perhaps GB was/is one of those teams?

I highly doubt Jackson finishes the season as Gb' main ball carrier...I just don't see it happening..he's too slow,dances too much,and doesnt hit the holes like Grant did.

GB traded for A. Green years ago, maybe it's time to trade for another RB?

;) You are drunk.
 
The writing's on the wall... literally. Go to Kuhn's page on FBG and read some of the writeups from last year:

Week 3 - Ryan Grant is clearly the main goal line option for the Packers, but Kuhn vultured a one yard TD on his only carry of the game, and scored on his only reception of the game as well, from ten yards out.

Week 6 - Kuhn managed to vulture a short TD catch (3rd of the year) from Rodgers in the 1st quarter. He also ran for a 1st down on his only carry of the game and a strong second effort. Kuhn is evolving into a TD threat in this offense on a week to week basis. Somewhere Tommy Vardell is smiling.

Week 8 - Kuhn looked good on his receptions, and got some red zone love yet again. He's the most valuable fantasy fullback in the league, but that isn't exactly anything to write home about, unless you're an angry Ryan Grant owner.

I'm sorry if the so called "experts" are too timid to come out and say it, but this guy is the pickup of the year. Unfortunately for most people, they won't realize this until it's way too late. Notice that twice in the writeups quoted above, they insinuated that the only thing holding Kuhn back from fantasy stardom was the presence of Ryan Grant. Now I know I heard something about Grant the other day... got a little banged up... wait, here it is... OUT FOR THE YEAR?!?! Do the math folks, there's a 90% chance that the winner of your league this year has Kuhn on his roster. Bump it in January.

Kuhn may get a small slice but it's a big pie.I'd like some Kuhnpie.

 
Ha-Kuhn-a matata

no way I'm getting near this train. I am worried if I'm relying on him.
