Christine Michael (1 Viewer)

[Madden Curse]

75 pages on a guy who has averaged a few dozen touches per season and just got unloaded for a conditional last-round draft pick...

 

[Smack Tripper]

Own randle in one league and missed on CM and signed him in another league without him.

So to me he's a buy but as a randle owner I'm concerned but not panicked

Because... I'm just asking because I'm legitimately curious...

What back acquired after preseason and inserted into a totally new offense, has ever made an impact that same season. By trade or free agency. Is Dickerson, a superlative talent in a simpler offensive time, the only one?

Rb is the easiest skill position to integrate into. Yet, I can't recall anyone that's had success doing it (but I may missing a ton of guys)

Factor that with seattles frequent concern about all that goes with lynch, AND The loss of turbin AND his familiarity with the system and they STILL made him available for an old guy they found on the street.

Put it all together and the answer is to sell sell sell this week to the randle owner.

Because once randle hangs 100 and and a TD At home against an awful and injury riddled giants, his value drops dramatically.

It's kind of cheating but blount did it last year

He had system familiarity though so I would not count him

 

[ImTheScientist]

According to Seahawks:

34 yo Fred Jackson + conditional 7th > CM

Fred Jackson is why Turbin was let go. Rawls and 4 years of cheap control made him expendable. I think they also plan on Lynch for next year and have their sights on an RB heavy 2017 draft.

You are misinformed on this topic. You should stop.

2017 is when Chubb will be eligible for fantasy drafts if he declares after his junior year correct? I acquired a 2017 First today in my league. Who else looks good? When is Elliot draft eligible and what year would he enter a fantasy draft?

I'd heard next year's QBcrop is going to be good.

Christine Michael trade doesn't change Cowboys' RB plans:

http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/177911/christine-michael-trade-doesnt-change-cowboys-rb-plans

I'm not buying that unless from the mouth of JJ or the HC.

I think this is going to be more of a Linehan offense than last year. And Linehan always has a pass receiving back - Bush, KSmith, Best - that might be McFadden. In earlier seasons with StL, Miami and Min, Linehan had primary backs who did both, SJackson, Ronnie Brown, Moe Williams. These offenses always have backs that get lots of targets. I am starting to think this trade cements McFadden in that pass catching role like we saw in Detroit and Dunbar sort of being his backup. While Randle is the primary RB and Michael is his primary backup for that role, who can move up if Randle falters or is hurt.

 

[proninja]

Thinking of dropping Reggie Bush for him as RB5.

Thinking of dropping Sproles for him as my RB5 (non-PPR).

Considering its probably my last bench spot, tough call as I dont expect Michael to do much the first couple games and I may drop him anyway due to wanting one of the hot early WW guys.

I have Sproles too. Dropped Bush instead of Sproles and nabbed Michael.

Dropped Sproles for him. In a return yardage league.

Expect McFadden to be the 3rd down back. He is by far the best pass blocking back on their roster. Prior to this trade, I'd have expected McF to get some series too. Now its a 3 way mess with McF and Randle in a similar 1st/2nd down role and McF in the 3rd. Dunbar is a specialty player. Doesn't have size to pass pro effectively.

Can CM overtake Randle? That is your question. I doubt he does in the short term because he needs to learn the plays and system. But after a few weeks, it will be interesting to see how many snaps he gets.

I already drafted last week. That noted, I drafted Gurley at 6.10 and Tre Mason at 12.10 as the fill-in while waiting for Gurley to get up to speed. I decided to roll the dice and drop Mason for the Michael lottery ticket. It may take 4 weeks, but I will take my chances with my other RBs while waiting to see if the gamble pays off on Michael. Other backs are on the weaker side though: Abdullah, Latavius Murray, Crowell, Sproles, and Dion Lewis. It is because they are more RB2 that I decided to gamble on C_Mike by dropping Mason.

ETA: Really, only have 3 potential RB2's in AA, LM, and IC. Sproles and Lewis are maybe flex worthy or bye week/emergency starts in PPR.

 

[Englishteacher]

I just read that Lynch is actually under contract for the next two years.

He signed an extension. But he is so mercurial who knows what his intentions are.BTW, Lynch was featured on "Tanked", the realityTv, entertainment show where businessman install colossal, custom fish aquariums.

 

[skinsrule05]

So I think everyone can agree CM is worth a flyer now, but in REDRAFT if you do pick him up how long are you willing to hold him on your bench and wait/hope to see some results? It wouldnt surprise me at all if he sees 5 or less carries in the first month of the season, even if say, DMC gets injured too at some point in September. What would best case scenario even be before October for him, 20 carries total? Most of my leagues benches are 6-7 deep (standard), not sure I can see myself stashing him for a month+ and hoping he breaks through. In all liklihood there will be a handful of WW pickups in the first month - if not the first couple weeks even - who pan out as weekly starters/flex for the entire season. Pass on them to hold Christine and hope seems like not a good strategy.

Seriously, so you never take a player unless he is going to produce in the next 4 weeks? There are plenty of guys that I draft/ WW pick that I take just hoping they come on strong 2nd half of the season. I am holding foster, Gurley and bridgewater now for that reason. I am sure I will pick up a few guys on the WW this year hoping for that 2nd half gold.

Let me guess, you gave up on ODB last year because he didn't help you in the first 4 weeks.

 

[Englishteacher]

Another thing to consider is - what is the market dictating? There was no RB traded for a 1st rounder, or a 3rd rounder. We have Christine Michael being traded for a 7th rounder, and then Terrence West being moved for the same. We've seen an extreme devaluation in the entire RB position in recent years. Without weighing in as to whether or not I think Michael will be a success in Dallas, it's not surprising that ANY RB had a minimal price tag. There are FAs available in Montee Ball, BJGE, Ray Rice, Steven Jackson, Ahmad Bradshaw, Pierre Thomas, Knowshown Moreno, Shonn Greene - but no contract offers.

So is the 7th round price tag an indicator that Michael is a subpar player? Not to me. It is an indication that the entire RB position is worth much less than it was 10 years ago, therefore no team is likely to offer a high draft pick in a RB trade. Trent Richardson anyone?

Some of those veterans may be signed after Week 1 so their salaries are not guaranteed. Also, the first serious waive of injuries hits after a real game.

 

[Avery]

CM is clearly the better runner.

Define "better runner".

If you mean physical, explosive running than probably yes.

If you mean running a play where it is supposed to go and how it was designed than probably no.

 

[Sabertooth]

I think it's the blend of his youth, elite athletic attributes, the unsettled Dallas backfield, and the fearsome Dallas offensive line. I think he had a much easier path to fantasy usefulness than Buck Allen. Allen isn't even necessarily the number two back. Lorenzo looks like he's the guy once he comes back. Forsett is far more entrenched than Randle.

As for Lewis, I think he's going to be Vereen light. No upside. No thanks. He's in the wire in my 12 team Superflex and I couldn't cut mallet, Bryce brown, or rg3 for him.

Good answer, Sabertooth, thanks. Makes sense in terms of Allen and similar #2s with more entrenched starters. My own thoughts is that a guy with some every game role like Lewis will, over the course of the season, get you more points than Michael barring injury.

I'd personally like to bet on a surer floor than the probability of injury and a higher ceiling, but am rooting for Michael to have the opportunity just the same. I think we can all agree that we don't know what we have in Michael without him getting a clear shot.

You explain it well. It's the whole floor/ceiling thing. I've held onto Michael since he was a rookie. I thought about cutting him but his ceilng has always been tantalizing.

 

[ORC]

Not going to mention the 'T' word. There are only two questions.

1. Why would Seattle give up on him? More than anything, it's about the contract. If Michael had 4 years left on a rookie deal, he's probably still there. He probably wouldn't see the field this year, and it makes much more sense from an organizational perspective to keep a guy under team control who's not going to be in a contract year when he finally sees the field.

2. Why would they give him up for basically nothing? Odds are, he has no value. A guy that looks good when he's on the field and has improved in the less noticed aspects of the game doesn't garner no interest if there's not something under the surface. Nothing specific has been reported, but we'll see. Dallas clearly isn't shy for trying to bring guys in with questionable off-field issues. Maybe they don't exist, but clearly there's something that has reduced his value. His fumble rate isn't alarming, and "carrying the ball in the wrong hand" isn't something you frequently hear about running backs.

Bottom line: as people have said, a tremendous line with a less than certain running back rotation presents a tremendous opportunity. If Dallas put him on the field and gave him 20 touches, he's an instant fantasy starter. And he might do enough where the other guys are relegated to mop-up duty. He's a flier, for sure, but really what more could you be looking for? He's either going to overtake Randle and McFadden, or he's not the real deal.

Cool. Nice of you to share a link. I'll check it out.

 

[fantasygodsfootball]

I like this trade for the Cowboys. Christine Michael was traded for "insurance and depth" but this is an interesting trade. I think Michael has some "stash" fantasy value because it may take him a while to get some touches. He has great talent though and I think this is a fantastic trade.

I am really happy about this trade and I think it's significant that Dallas was willing to give up something to get him. At the same time, I'd be a little more bullish if they'd given up something more significant such as a 4th-5th rounder. If the early reports are accurate, Seattle almost gave him away for free. That's not a great sign, although it makes some sense in their position with Lynch entrenched for the next few years. If you can get a pick for Michael and you think Rawls is a reasonable approximation, you might as well shop Michael and keep Rawls for less $$$. Michael had no meaningful role there for the foreseeable future and it's not like they were going to give him a big extension in two years if he's been on the bench the whole time.

Still, if you're a Michael owner then you have to be really pleased. Apart from the low cost of acquisition, this is basically a dream scenario. He goes to a team that not only has a great offense, but also has no proven starter at the position. If you believe in his talent, you have to think that he could seize this opportunity and begin to claim a role for himself. My hope is that he'll actually get on the field for a meaningful number of snaps this year and finally provide more of a definitive answer in terms of whether or not he's going to be a long term player in dynasty leagues.

Hey CM we want you to run through these bus size holes and then do your thing when you get to the Second level. Sounds crazy I know.

He probably wouldn't see the field this year, and it makes much more sense from an organizational perspective to keep a guy under team control who's not going to be in a contract year when he finally sees the field.

I think it's somewhat alarming that Seattle gave him away for so cheap, but he was slated to earn $711k this year compared with $435k for Rawls. The way I see it, Seattle obviously likes Lynch as the starter and Jackson as the security blanket. They had two capable guys for the #3 role. Since neither guy is likely to see heavy PT without an injury, you might as well trade the one who has more market value. They were able to recoup a pick for Michael whereas I don't think they would've gotten even a 7th for Rawls. I still think it's a bit disappointing that Michael didn't pull a higher draft pick, but at least it shows that a team was willing to give up something for him.

Ultimately, the acquisition price is independent of his future performance. The Seahawks and Colts gave up a first rounder for Harvin and Richardson respectively, and both guys flopped. The expensive acquisition price didn't ensure success and a cheap acquisition price doesn't ensure failure. I just hope that he gets a real chance. I do think he will make explosive plays if that happens. And I personally felt that Randle/DMC was among the worst RB units in the league, so if he can't beat out these guys for a role then you probably have your definitive answer on his long-term dynasty value. Basically, if he can't make it here then he can't make it anywhere.

Either way, the prospect of him battling it out for a role in Dallas over the next few weeks is a lot more exciting than another inconclusive season spent on the sidelines watching Lynch.

Maybe it will be that simple.

Than again perhaps the intricacies of an NFL offense are a bit more complex than that.

Maybe Michael will take the job and run with it (all pun intended) yet perhaps his reported shallow learning curve and inconsistency with protection and being in the right place at the right time will keep him from taking a leading role.

Agreed.

Different teams are more risk adverse to players not running the play exactly like it is in the book, regardless of their talent. Best guess is that the Seahawks aren't a fan of that type of player. We'll see if the Cowboys are, or perhaps run an offense that Michael can wrap his head around better.

If either of the above are true, by most reports, he is the best pure "runner" on the team.

I mostly agree with that. I don't expect him to be the day one starter, but if it's around week 8-10 and he's still doing nothing then you probably know all you need to know. The one thing that could throw a monkey wrench into this whole situation is if Randle/DMC just thrive from day one to the extent where there's never any incentive for the coaches to test alternatives. I find that scenario unlikely. You never know though.

 

[BigSteelThrill]

FINALLY!!

I own Christine Michael.

As a Joseph Randle owner, I just drafted Christine Michael as the handcuff.

Never gave DMC a thought. Wanted nothing to do with him. But Michael was different.

Lloyd Christmas: So you're saying there's a chance!

And for good measure, I also drafted Fred Jackson. Way late and deep rosters.

[Donnybrook]

After drafting him 17th overall as a rookie and having him sit on my roster for 2 plus years, I traded him today. It is kind of bitter sweet. If I waited a little longer I am sure I could have gotten more but I figure the window to trade him might not be very long. His value either skyrockets in Dallas or he does a Brice Brown and fumbles away his best opportunity.

Not for Seattle. Fred Vinson never did anything.

 

[Dismattle]

The obvious question here is, if he was good, why would Seattle just give him away (or cut him, which they reportedly would have done if they hadn't traded him)?

There could be a lot more than just the "Dallas" tweet which included fond words of Family watching games..

I might be mistaken, but I would think his agent could have spoke up too.. I understand that its not like Seattle had H. Walker riding the pine.. But the guy appears to be going nowhere fast. Its possible that an agent could only hope to see one real multimillion yr. deal...

Seattle has to have a conscience that the young man wants to play Ball. Theres a lot of news storys (used to be anyway) that CMike is a baller who needs an opportunity.. The Seahawks know how to evaluate and draft too. They most likely already see a small handful of RBs who will be soon turning 21, and fully capabale of getting the job done. Cheaper, and recovers from injury sooner.

All that being said, if it was me? Id let him go, if I thought he had a shot to really do something! I would want potential players for my Team to know 'This is where you Hope to play', but we will get ya ready to Play!

p.s. The dallas tweet, could have been a slap in the face or biting the hand that feeds

Im not quite following your post.. imo The Seahags own Lynch, and don't really believe CMike is the successor that they had hoped. Its almost like the Dynasty owner post above "selling out". IRL, I don't believe Sea. seen any real offers, compensating for a highly trained 2nd rnd pick. Sea. had to know/believe that some "Coach's" believe in CMike..

Im unaware of any player cut by Sea. that may have near as much potential. But, I don't think I would have too look any further than their practice squad to find a potential NFL starter (or 8).

The obvious question here is, if he was good, why would Seattle just give him away (or cut him, which they reportedly would have done if they hadn't traded him)?

There could be a lot more than just the "Dallas" tweet which included fond words of Family watching games..

I might be mistaken, but I would think his agent could have spoke up too.. I understand that its not like Seattle had H. Walker riding the pine.. But the guy appears to be going nowhere fast. Its possible that an agent could only hope to see one real multimillion yr. deal...

Seattle has to have a conscience that the young man wants to play Ball. Theres a lot of news storys (used to be anyway) that CMike is a baller who needs an opportunity.. The Seahawks know how to evaluate and draft too. They most likely already see a small handful of RBs who will be soon turning 21, and fully capabale of getting the job done. Cheaper, and recovers from injury sooner.

All that being said, if it was me? Id let him go, if I thought he had a shot to really do something! I would want potential players for my Team to know 'This is where you Hope to play', but we will get ya ready to Play!

Can you explain why C. Michaels was cut? Did they save face by holding onto a 2nd rnd pick for awhile?

p.s. You a Fan?
