Christine Michael Volume 3: Inevitable Greatness Soon Achieved (2 Viewers)

[Interseptopus]

Got offered Maclin for him in a redraft.

These offers are very interesting. James jones was mentioned earlier.

You could get a by startable player for someone who you don't know will pan out.

being the starter doesn't necessarily mean lions share of the carries, but CM has taken all the reps with the ones apparently.

Randle has been a TD dependent RB 2/3. Can we assume CM will be anything more? How so? DMC will undoubtedly still be getting passing work and every third series as he has all season... I can't imagine CM suddenly changing what Dallas has done for at least the last 2 years in game planning. When does randle factor into the game? Maybe not much if CM does well.

To put it into perspective, 3-4 weeks ago if someone offered me James Jones or Maclin for Randle and I probably would have accepted it.

This is the fun part about FF, you can take what you can get for him now or hope he really is that lotto ticket. I see him at best being a RB 3/flex play, at least until Romo comes back and then I don't know maybe he becomes a RB 2. In one week his value will change regardless.

CM is better than Randle that's how so.

lol... He certainly has more talent, whether that carries over onto the field remains to be seems. I love the "as a matter of fact"-ness from the "all in on CM" crowd

 

[spider321]

I cannot believe I climbed back on this train.

Here goes nothing....again!!!

Woot! Woot! lol

No more tickets on the train left. You shouldn't have given up your spot.

 

[amnesiac]

i've got no clue how he's going to do, but i'll admit to being pretty excited about grabbing this guy off the waiver wire.

this is so rare in my league, for example Charcandrick West and Rawls were both on rosters prior to those teams starters going down.

 

[rider down]

I just got offered Ellington in PPR...

No, but hes certainly avg more ypc than CMNot to mention if you take away his best carry he's not even avg +ypc

CM owners feel the same way JR and DM owners felt earlier this offseason. There are some who believe the future starter for Dallas Cowboys is not yet on the roster however.

If buy that. If by future we mean next season. Dallas will limp through this season and retool for next year. I could see them drafting someone but I really wonder if they make a run for ADP, or sign Lamar Miller. There's a small window in Dallas, depending who you talk to the window is already closed, but there's a small window before they have to rebuild completely. Not sure if they want to go through the lumps of a rookie RB or pick off the trash heap again.

Yeah but you'd think if CM is really going to start lighting it up then they'd skip signing a Miller and just extend his contract. Either way for the remainder of this year barring injury it feels like the Dallas RB situation is pretty set in stone. Just a matter of who emerges from the current pile

The NFCE isn't going anywhere, they could leap into the playoffs the way the rest of the division is going.

Right. I don't think he's going to light it up. As long as DMC is not hurt I don't see CM being more than a 75-80 yard per game / td dependent flex. The volume just isn't there, and contrary to what many people here think, he isn't going to be running seven 80 yard tds a game

I traded Randle for Hopkins after week two and still own C Mike. Winning all around.

Well done

 

[Judge Smails]

I have him stashed as a $1 FAAB lottery ticket. I honestly have no idea of whether this guy will start one game or not, but the tea leaves say he gets a shot on a team that has run the ball real well. I invest in situations. My bench is filled with backs from the Cowboys (Michael), Eagles (Mathews), Broncos (Hillman) and Chiefs (West). Most are serviceable in bye weeks, 3 of them may soon be starters with Mathews a potential 1B. Lottery tickets on historical good run offenses. Just need to be right on one. Have no idea if CM is it. Interesting to see what he goes for on FAAB this week with all the news he's getting first team snaps.

 

[mrbigg]

You are trying to buy a talented running back who is playing with 2 pro bowlers and a world class oline. Even if he starts, real production value comes when Dez and ROmo are back. Remember Demarco Murray? CM is not DM bue he is pretty talented, evben a 75% production of DM is absurdly great, seeing as how he was a FA pickup. He's going to be 2014 ODB for a lot of people.

 

[Wadsworth]

What is the formula for figuring how much production he needs to give to equal the value for taking up a roster spot on my dynasty team since the rookie draft?

I will be excited if he plays well, but I need a lot more than a few good games to feel like a non-sucker for holding onto him this long.

 

[SproutDaddy]

So he's going to equal Beckham's production from last year? Going to be a lot of disappointed people.

Lol i was just thinking about this. Just think about all the guys you dropped you shouldn't have over the last 3 years. Take the best one and CM needs to be better than that guy.

 

[shadyridr]

Just put him in my starting lineup at flex!

There is no FAAB money left after C West last week.

 

[SWC]

my sources are telling me that there is a good chance he will get something like 3 carries and go for 150 yards or so this weekend i think you brohans are smart who are flexing him out because he has a lot of flex appeal take that to the bank bromigos

 

[davidwb]

I've got the #1 waiver wire position for this week, and JStew, Hillman, and CMike are all available. Will the Panthers continue to let Stewart get the goal line carries, or will they revert back to Newton? Will Hillman move into the #1 RB slot for Denver after last week's showing (against a terrible Browns rushing D), or will it remain equal with CA (behind a terrible O line)? Will CMike be given a good chance to be the #1 RB with Dallas -- and will he succeed?

Wish I knew the answers! Have to decide by tonight for Yahoo waivers.

It depends if you need a base hit or a grand slam. Stewart is the safest of the three. Feature back. Previous success (when healthy). Hillman is hit or miss. I cut him last week with no regrets. HHe'd rarely be in your lineup when he has his occasional good game because of all the 2.3 pt games leading up to it. CMike could be a stud behind that line. Especially in a few weeks when Romo and Bryant are back. Or we may find out why he couldn't get beyond RB#3 in Seattle. Michael is your grand slam. But also your strike out.

 

[SWC]

Good thoughts here. I think you're right -- picking CMike is swinging for the fences. Given his history, it's hard to know what you're going to get...but he may get the chance to succeed and once the team gets their QB and #1 WR back, he could be a homerun. Of course, he may strike out before he gets that chance. Most homerun hitters strike out a lot.

CMike is more of a foul tip. Or a broken bat flying into the crowd hitting the poor unsuspecting milf in the head as she is posting down-blouse pics of herself eating a hot dog to instagram.

People do that all the time with late round picks or waiver grabs. Colston and Gronk as rookies come to mind.

With that offensive line he could break out. You would think someone will, Shanahan did it with guys off the street.

 

[FF Ninja]

Was offered James jones for him if anyone cares.

You took that right?

Not yet. Both players can be kept and this thread has me thinking of lollipops and unicorns with CMike.

One is Rodgers favorite target, the other has 2 carries for 5 yards. I own him in both leagues and hope I'm wrong, but you've got a proven commodity in James Jones.

Rodgers' favorite target only has 29 targets in 6 games?! That's so weird.

Ty Montgomery outsnapped and got more targets than James Jones in weeks 4 and 5. Davante Adams will be returning soon. And for anyone who is keeping track, Randall Cobb appears to be Rodgers' favorite target. I'd hold onto my lottery ticket if I was that guy. James Jones won't be winning you any championships in the second half of the season, getting 4 targets per game.

[tdoss]

CMike could run for President after this Sunday.

 

[Shutout]

I practice FF voodoo.

Every once in a while I offer up a player on my team in order to start the catalyst to promote another player's ascension.

A few years ago I offered up Larry Fitz to promote Dez Bryant. You may remember my thread. Not coincidentally, Dez gets hurt ... Fitz regains glory (It works in reverse...who knew).

Around the same time, I offered up Beanie Wells to promote Knowshon Moreno. You may recall me pounding the tables for Moreno that year.

This year, I offered up a player I'd rather not mention because it pains me deeply for Christine Michael.

So let me be clear when I tell you that Christine Michael is getting ready to become a very valuable FF player. When you see him rip off that 27 yarder in the 1st quarter this weekend, remember what Shutout told ya.

Choo choo mother ####ers!

 

[shady inc]

starting c-mike at flex due to some bye-week issues. he has a good matchup as the giants rank 25th against the run. i'll definitely be tuning in on sunday and hoping for the best

 

[Diamond]

Might want to check those rankings again. NYG were #2 vs the run (yards against) prior to MNF this week.

Philly ran well, but not that well.

But they are still giving up fantasy points to RBs (19 ppg in my league).

edit: They've slipped to #6 after this week

I agree with this. Him getting the start this week is great, but it's all his playoff value with Romo and Dez there.

 

[SproutDaddy]

I have to say, a ballsy move putting him into your lineup with that offense and 2 carries on the year. Surely some of you have better options.

 

[Coeur de Lion]

I have to say, a ballsy move putting him into your lineup with that offense and 2 carries on the year. Surely some of you have better options.

Even if he does end up getting the start, he's still likely splitting with two other guys, and they'll probably all struggle to some extent given the lack of a credible passing threat. If Michael is going to have a big impact in FF, it'll be at the end of the year when Romo and Dez are back.

 

[shady inc]

in a flex spot, he seems like as good a candidate as any.
