Edge James..is he even a RB3 at this point? (1 Viewer)

[Magnum]

Is Edge even worth a start in a non PPR league? I ALMO$T feel bad for the dude.

Opinions?

just traded him for a. green and i am not looking back.

He is at best an average bye week fill-in. Nothing more! What you have seen is what you will have the rest of the year. Unless your are extremely thin at rb I would move him to upgrade somewhere else.

Heh, I can't get anything for him. I offered him straight accross for LJ Smith and was laughed at.*edit* And this was a guy running Jamal Lewis as his number 2 RB.

My oh my how the mighty have fallen. This is another reason why fantasy football needs to get away from making the RB position head and shoulders above QB, WR, and TE. It's so volatile from one year to the next, based mainly on the shelf life of a RB and movement to a worse situation, whether that's a poor OL or RBBC. Yes, the same can be said for QB and WR movement to some degree, but the RB position is just a few notches under what defenses give you from one year to the next. By that I mean, with the exception of a few RBs and a few defenses (more so with defenses), it's a crap shoot who will produce from one year to the next.

No, this is another reason why you should spend your first round pick on an elite WR or QB that's more of a "sure thing", instead of a high-ceiling RB with questionmarks.Proven guys in stable situations like Rudi, Manning, Holt, Smith, and even Chad Johnson were smarter picks than guys like Ronnie Brown (first time as feature back), Lamont Jordan (new QB and coaches), Edge (new team, crappy OLine).

FWIW, I thought guys like Stephen Jackson and Chester Taylor were going too high, too. Fortunately for their owners, they've worked out. I still think they were bad risks at their respective ADPs (Jackson especially).

how in the world can an O-line be this crappy.

Edge is a stud and they are making him look like a sissy.

If Jamal Lewis was behind this line they would be rushing for -2 yards a carry

Thats how bad it is.

I unloaded his twin brother Jamal 'ZERO' Lewis for a 2008 2nd rounder. I would just cut this useless turdpile if I had him. He got his $ and he runs like a washed up bum, just like Jamal.

If if don't happen for him this week at GB, it will never happen for him.

The only light at the end of the tunnel is that Edge is leading the NFL in carries. If the ARZ coaches can find a way to get some average run-blocking out of that O-line, then there is a decent amount of upside for Edge. He is leading the league in opportunities. That O-line just needs to step up and start earning their paychecks. It may not happen, but it can't get any worse unless Edge gets injured.

I think Edge is an excellent buy-low candidate right now.

Just picked up Edge & Glenn for Moss. Figure I would trade one guy whose value is probably too high right now (Moss) for 2 guys who can be bought low.My RB2 is Reggie Bush. Strong everywhere else, but have to take a gamble at some point.
