Sounds like its a foregone conclusion that Reuben is gonna get the nod. Too many factors working for him. Start Reuben people!

Pony Boy, is a joke. Two Denver RB's, not named Bell, have had 150+ yard days in Denver already in 5 games this year. Droughns was very impressive and brought back memories of the Terrell Davis days. I'm a Bell owner, and unless injuries play a role again this year, I admit it's beginning to look like Bell will have to play the role of understudy this year and stake a claim to the job nextyear in training camp.

:rotflmao: Come on.
Get a grip folks. Maybe Droughns is the next big thing, but i would look for him to repeat his performance against a team that isnt giving up 160 y/g before anointing him. For reference this is still the team that managed to rush for 33 yards against the mighty Chargers, and I think everyone on the roster got a carry. Top 20? Wait and see.

You're the one that needs to get a grip. You're the same fool that makes the same mistake over and over and over again. Sooner or later you'll remember that your boss likes 1 spoon of sugar and 1 of cream in his coffee. Seriously, Terrell Davis owners (back in the day when he was just becoming a full-time starter) were laughed at if they mentioned he would be a stud back.
When Terrell Davis got hurt, people who picked up Olandis Gary off waivers were laughed at when they mentioned Gary could also become a 1000+ yard back in Denver.
When Olandis Gary got hurt, people who picked up Mike Anderson were laughed at when they mentioned he could step in also and be a stud back.
When Shanahan drafted Portis, people laughed and said he was too small and couldn't be a durable workhorse in Denver to be a stud back.
And now......people still laugh at the thought that an unknown like Droughns (who already posted a 193 yard effort in his first start as the Denver RB) could step in and perform admirably as the featured back in Denver, and dare I say stud-like?
Keep laughing, you're the same fools making the same mistake over and over and over in fantasy football and then at the end of the year you never have any playoff appearances or championships to show for all the time you spend on fantasy football; you even get so down on yourself, as your fantasy blues set in, that you contemplate quitting your leagues altogether. Keep laughing.

Ever heard of the concept of a dynasty league?Guess we should all dump Kevan Barlow and Clinton Portis now.

You're going to see both Droughns and Griffin in the game. You're going to see a tougher run defense this week vs. Denver. Long term, Bell will be worked into the offense. However, he's not 100 percent healthy and he's too raw to have the starting role. Tatum Bell in redrafts going into week 6 is close to worthless.I mean, if you were trying to trade for Tatum Bell, who would you give up? Not a whole lot.Would you even give up Artose PInner? I wouldn't.

So now you're comparing Kevan Barlow to Lawrence Phillips? Please.
You've just brought the level of this thread down to grade school level. I'm done with you.

LOL. Great point! Besides, what does having Barlow in your avatar have to do with ANYTHING?Part of the fun/challenge of FF is speculating whether someone such as Droughns is another studly fit-in of Denver's running scheme or just a one hit wonder? So what if some are gven to hyperbole? Why so pissy???

Give it up. Bell isn't going to do squat unless there are more injuries. I'm sick and tired of the Bell Pimps in the Pool when he hasn't done jack s***.

MY TAKE Droughns looks awsome ,..... i watched that game and he looked all the way around good .. i mean the guy running the way he did and getting the holes that he did . woudl have done it on any team with that said ANYONE who trades a proven stud RB . or a proven stud player in general for Droughns yet .. is well .. taking a huge riskas states above .. I recently traded P.Price for Droughns.. basically because Price has no value in my league .. and its even a dynasty league .. and Droughns could be a boom .... but he couls easily be a bust ask yourself this... M.Anderson proved he could do it . but was left at FB because it was what was best for the team .. lsoing their FB in their running game is not a good thing .. this is a big reason why i almost said no to price for droughns ...at the same time .. what droughns did last weekend . will give griffin a very short leash . and if he sucks again . .DROUGHNS will get a chance .. it is worth taking a chance on DROUGHNS .. if and only IF you can get him for FREE or you can get him for a very low player .. a dime a dozen WR is basically his value after 1 week ... BUT this is 10 times up from his value before last week .. which was nothing

:duel: Seriously, the "top 10?" was
but it is possible.I'm just debating between starting Ahman and Droughns for this week now.
I can't handle another 5 point day from Ahman and the Lions D is actually pretty decent. (ok, I'm probably sticking with the "stud" but I'm sure some see the dilemna)
When does the weekly rankings come out?
When it comes to Droughns, it isn't his total yardage that impresses me.
It's that he had no negative carries all day. That is huge for a team.
No. You asked me what I thought a mans stats would be. That doesn mean im willing to bet on that. If he gets one more yard I lose, meanwhile you're the one pimping him and he still has a lousy day. Doesnt prove much does it? If you are confident in Droughns why dont you put your prediction down?
Reread the thread. I dont have strong opinion on Droughns. Thats the point. You are the one that asked me for the stat line. I gave my opinion. Why dont you give yours?
You're the one in this thread laughing at those who say Droughns could be a good one. I haven't pimped Droughns one bit in this thread besides saying I feel he'll have another solid week against Oakland. I told you to put your money where your mouth is and set the stat line for the week. Now you won't back it up? Come on, now. Back it up if you're so sure of yourself. Instead you're now trying to be sly and attempting to get me to raise the stat line so you have a better chance of winning. Not going to happen because I'm not the one in this thread laughing at other people's opinions like you are. I simply challenged you to back up your own loud opinion, which you obviously won't. If you don't want to bet just say so and walk away, no need for you to tap dance and sing for us.

I starting Droughns over Griffin.I think he'll get more carries, and will be used at the goaline. He's a easy choice.If Droughns has a good game, Griffin will be spending a lot of time on the bench.
