Redraft I cut him in the one league I had him. Dynasty he's obviously a hold or maybe a buy, but outside of a Lynch injury I have a hard time thinking he'll do anything this season.
Michael hasn't been more involved because what he offers is pretty redundant with what Seattle already has in Lynch. Turbin is a better pass protector, more experienced with the system, and a decent safety valve on passing downs (though Michael will probably be better in that regard eventually).
I own both Michael and Turbin and this is the way I see it too... I don't own Lynch.
If Turbin makes mistakes like he did at the end of the half today then maybe he will fall out if favor.
I have seen this play referenced a few times. What happened?
40 it so seconds left, Deattle had one timeout. Turbin caught a first down pass near the sideline and didn't go out of bounds. Maybe he couldn't, but with the hurry up to spike they never showed a replay. From my view it looked like he turned upfield and could've gotten put. Having to rush everything after that and losing a TO on a false start from the next play (I think) led to the disaster FG. Just handled it badly and if Turbin went out, they wouldn't have had to rush
I don't disagree that Turbin could have gone out of bounds on his own. That said, I don't think it was a big deal at all. Neither was the false start forcing them to blow a timeout. Neither was the delay getting the ball back to the official before the spike. None of that mattered IMO. The blown field goal was flukish.
The Lynch owner in our contract league is offering me Lynch for Gio Bernard and my first round pick next year. The problem is that I can only keep Lynch through the 2014 season and I can give Bernard whatever contract I want. The Michael owner though is throwing a wrench into my plan as he won't trade him to me and I think I only want Lynch if I can have Michael.
Most of what I've read about his DUI points to, and some have been rather adamant about it, him not likely at all to be suspended. Sort of a loophole being that this falls under substance abuse, not personal conduct and his previous issues in Buf were never officially classified as alcohol related. So it would be his first offense in substance abuse and basically just a warning and a fine. The vast majority opinion seems to be that there'll be no suspension. Could easily be wrong but if it's that slanted towards no suspension and he actually does get suspended, it'll probably be on the light side, like 1 game.
Pro Tip: You are rostering him in the event of a Lynch injury. To date Lynch has played in all games. Don't expect points out of him unless there is an injury. If there is he is the back to own.
I would cut Brown instead. You will still have Spiller, Moreno, Ridley and Jackson to rely on.
Turbin is going to get the bulk of the carries and first shot in that situation.
Whatever the "primary back up" means... You put too much emphasis on Michael NOT playing. I see Seattle as a SB caliber team with a top notch RB and a good backup. They didn't (and still don't) NEED Michael. Yet they thought enough to draft him in the second round. He was always a long term prospect and only a Lynch Injury was going to change that. Nothing has changed and Seattle remains a talented team that doesn't need to rush a rookie into a situation.
Major leagues v. minor leagues - He gets NO action for a reason - figure it out. Michael is really dumb. He has trouble with the playbook.
Who would u try to get with those 2? Ridley looked great last week. Jackson could be relied in heavily now that Julio is out.
Nope, Michael will get the bulk of the carries with Turbin playing his same role.
Eh, let him do it. It really means nothing unless Lynch gets hurt because neither Michael or Turbin are going to get significant carries with him healthy. Besides, it will actually make it sweeter if the unfortunate should come about and he's been bumping this all year and chest thumping.
I actually liked Turbin okay in the draft. The reality is that Michael is just a much better runner.
His supsensions fell under two different categories. Guns =/= Alchohol.
I am a Seattle homer and while I don't doubt that Michael may become heavily utilized in the future, you're habit of talking down Turbin's abilities are off target. Michael has a few more NFL carries than DNP's; this is a pretty big factor to completely ignore while speculating he gets 20+ carries a game if Lynch were to be hurt this season.
One is substance one is conduct. Its part of the NFLPA agreement with the NFL. Two separate and Goodell can't increase one based on the other.
I'm in 8 leagues right now and only 1 of them is redraft. My care level on Michael's redraft value is about a 0.
