Christine Michael Volume 3: Inevitable Greatness Soon Achieved (1 Viewer)

Anyone see any dynasty trades involving him? Owner in my one league is shopping him for a 1st and would like to gauge current market value.

 
Right now, I'd keep the pick. I don't think I'd pay a first for him. However, I already own him and I'm holding. Nobody is making offers anyway. Actually I got offered Cody Lattimer for him, but quickly rejected. I don't even really count that one.

 
Two offers in a 12 team PPR dynasty league so far: Pierre Garçon and. 2017 2nd rounder for Michael, rejected. And just this morning a projected late 2016 first and a 2017 2nd for Michael and Woodhead. Likely rejecting that one too, as I have been starting Woodhead as my flex for a few weeks and am fighting for a playoff position.

I am struggling with this though. As Connskins said above, at what point do we cash in and get some value out of him? Or, does he actually spike in value after returning from the bye? So far my thinking is, unless I get a proven commodity coming back (either good player plus pick or very good player), I think I will hold.

I agree. Freeman is a product of that high octane offense. As much a beneficiary of Julio Jones as Julio Jones is.

Freeman has Matty Ice and Julio. CMike has Matt Cassel and Terrance Williams.

We can compare their talent. But there's no comparison in terms of situation.

That will radically change in coming weeks.

I agree, Randle will look much better once Dallas gets Romo and Dez back.

Pretty sure the Cowboys know what they have in Randle, hence their hope that CMike will come in and steal the job

This is the kind of rhetoric that started the last thread down its path of destruction. Good job FBG's. We get it, you like Ladarius Green and Christine Michael too much. Yet, you'll ignore a SPARQ freak like Raheem Mostert. Makes zero sense. Whatever.

It's not just FBG the Cowboys staff is saying it as well. Maybe they read FBGs?Randle is completely pedestrian. 3.9 ypc, no 100 yard games, and one game over 70 yards in 5 games behind what's supposed to be a legendary line. Yes there have been injuries but he's really shown me nothing to indicate he's anything but a run of the mill back.

I'd take a first for him or a WR that was drafted in the first this year if i was rebuilding. I've only been offered low ball offers to date. Personally I wouldn't take anything less than a WR2. It's just not worth it to trade him for anything less if you're a playoff team this year.

Ya, I think the probability that he actually hits like many are hoping is probably 10% but it's worth the potential upside if does hit considering the cost.

 
UGH.... ANOTHER WEEK OF THIS!!!

Can he play so we can formally anoint him as either the next Larry Johnson or the next Blair Thomas after only one game?

For three years, there was buzz about this guy for no reason at all. At least now, there's actually reason for it. There's actual word that he is going to be getting used more.

I'd put it higher than that maybe 25-30% but he's still a longshot. His style matches well with this offense and he's performed in limited duty. What I mean by hitting is taking the most carries in this backfield second half of the season.

 
I think any number for probability is just pulling a number out of our asses. He's moving towards a starting shot, haters Gonna hate though. I don't expect many to come back if he has some success.

 
So you think Randle or McFadden have an equal shot at taking the most carries moving forward? Because it's almost certain either Randle, McFadden, or Michael does that. I don't see McFadden holding up and I don't think Randle is good enough (as evidenced by the current situation where he had the gig but now he doesn't). That pretty much only leaves Michael, unless he isn't very good, at which point he's equal to McFadden or Randle. Nothin but upside for Michael.

I'm going to say (guess) McFadden gets crowded out. Mike could get McFadden's rushing role (spell Randle, plus 4th quarter work). If they don't feel comfortable with CM in the pass game maybe Mac keeps the 3rd down work he inherited from Dunbar, but one of the reports above noted Michael catching passes in practice (whatever that means), however if they did use Mike in the screen game that would be really bad news for Mac (IMO). Randle has only one 3rd down touch all year.

Meh kind of.....

Was thinking McFadden 10%, Michael 30%, Randle 50%, random FA 10%.

I'm worried about CM's ball security. If he doesn't fumble he'll outplay the other two.

Wouldn't say there was "no reason at all" why people thought he might be a good prospect. He was a 2nd round pick (same round as Lacy and Bell) and he led the NFL in preseason rushing yards as a rookie. Sitting on the bench in Seattle and getting dumped for a late pick has added fuel for the skeptics, but this isn't some random joe off the street that people just decided to hype up for no reason.

 
Perhaps this has been covered, but as important as anything is protecting the QB on pass downs - especially if he is to eat into that role. How does he block?

Personally, I'd guess (and anyone who thinks this is anything but is fooling themselves) that IF Michael gets more of a share, it's early down, put Randle back into his more comfortable 3rd down and COP back, with McF on the outside looking in.

Well when I'm saying 10% I'm thinking of a home run top 5 goal line back that can break big plays...probably a 25% chance that he doesn't get as much of a chance that we'd like to see or doesn't take advantage / fumbles and Randle retains his role....maybe a 50% chance that it's a muddyish time share and maybe 15% that he wins the job and is good not great. So I essentially agree

Hi georg, I appreciate that you are active in this thread but maybe you could tone down on the "Christina" stuff? You have been doing that for a long time now and really does not bring anything to the thread other than being intentionally, and unnecessarily, inflammatory. It's the kind of comment that leads to threads derailing (with the bannings and the lockings, ner...klaven). There is no point to prove, we're just a bunch of guys on the internet looking for information and analysis on a player.

Thanks man, I appreciate it.

I'm quite sure that if "Christina" were to ever actually approach George in person, our precious Georgie would crap his pants.

This seems likely. Randle owners might as well cut now or this past week. Can't trade him. Can't start him this week, next week is up in the air, and following week is Seattle, that's 3 weeks where he can't or shouldn't be started. By which point the following week (9) Michael may be the starter.

That's really not a helpful response*.

All I am asking is the we try to keep the inflammatory responses out of this thread because for whatever reason this is an incredibly volatile thread and it's best if we all just start to treat Michael as just another spec player and not go crazy in here.

*And if you mean "approach aggressively, with an intent to do harm" then I agree. I am pretty sure you would do the same, as would I.

I think it is very premature to be cutting Randle. Even if Randle gets pushed out, which I am not certain of yet, Michael still has a college injury history as long as my arm. At the very least Randle would be a solid handcuff.

Autospell did that. This post was meant to inspire. I see it had the opposite effect. Oops.

Yeah we are just shooting at numbers in the dark until this situation levels out. We won't know what we have in Michael for another month. The only way this situation clears itself up is if Michael just kicks ### for 2 straight week after the bye. If he does that, I'm pretty sure we'll know he's arrived. If he's mediocre we'll need another few weeks to see how the committee shakes out. Even if he stinks, he will probably still have some role.

Barring injury, his trajectory is moving north in the next two weeks regardless.

I don't have to prove ####. It was the doubters that was causing unnecessary drama and ####posts that caused the other thread to get locked up.

Just a random Joe that, for two years, failed to surpass Robert Turbin on the depth chart.

 
This thread is gonna shut down the Internet on game day week 7!

I dunno about you guys but I am freaking PUMPED for this!

This is either going to be the shot in the arm that propels fantasy teams to the championship or an total unmitigated disaster! Lol
