Carson Palmer (1 Viewer)

[Northbound Train]

Many guys drafted him to be their QB1 and if you're like me I was happy sitting back watching one QB after another go off the board while I hoarded RBs & WRs...thinking he'd have a huge bounce back type of year.

Even with the sucess of the Bengals and a true power running game he just can't seem to get er going....I mean he looked brutal today, missing wide open targets, never getting truly set against the mighty powerful Browns DEF

I've got him in 3 leagues (one a Dynasty) and for the most part have stuck with him week in, week out... thinking he'll show what he is capable of....started him in all 3 of my leagues this week with the juicy matchup against the Browns DEF who were just lit up by the mighty powerful Leo's

Since the BYE week he has thrown for 2 TDs and run for 2 while getting picked once and thrown for a whopping 719 yards

Anybody jump the shark yet

Dropped Eli and was going to roll with Carson the rest of the way but today was not pretty. Got nervous and grabbed Flacco because he plays Detroit 1st round of playoffs. Vince Young also available and wondering if his STL matchup week 14 might be better.

They are doing "manage the game and eat the clock" kind of drives a lot, even against bad teams like Cleveland. Carson actually saw a bit more pressure today and seemed to be flushed out of the pocket early which didn't help matters. He hasn't been throwing downfield at all, didn't really need to today. So it seems to be a combo of things.-QG

Absolutely BRUTAL numbers today, against a Cleveland defense that made Stafford look like Marino

Coming out party for LJ? Sure looked like it ... and also looked like Cincy never sweated this opponent.

Bengals are built to run run run run run. Palmer will get his, but they will be paltry scraps. Team is playing winning football, for sure ... but the scheme translates into LOSING fantasy football for Palmer and the passing game .

4 teamer?

Cinci's D didn't do much in terms of fantasy nor did their entire passing game. If you can't start those units against Cleveland, then when will you start them with confidence?

The only thing worth starting right now is whomever the primary RB will be for the giving week (which isn't easy to figure out) and No. 85 as a WR3/flex.

Pretty original, way to go.After the Tenn finish went back and got VY instead hoping rushing yards will be there too.

When he does throw... he's off. He needs to throw throw throw to get in a groove... i don't see that happening with their running game and D.
