I think he had 133 rushing and a TD in the week one shutout.
Tomlinson had 131 yards rushing, 18 yards receiving and 1 rushing touchdown in their week 1 monday night 27-0 mauling of the Raiders.I have Gates and the SD DST and my division rival has LT, so I'm hoping LT gets a bit of a rest this week and they decide to work out Rivers.An owner can hope ...

I hate it when people feel the need to "sign" each post (ex. Mud Out, even though I like that guy)This may be the only exception.Tomlinson had 131 yards rushing, 18 yards receiving and 1 rushing touchdown in their week 1 monday night 27-0 mauling of the Raiders.I have Gates and the SD DST and my division rival has LT, so I'm hoping LT gets a bit of a rest this week and they decide to work out Rivers.An owner can hope ...
...& I got $50 that says you're wrong on no more than 75 and a TD.
That was weird. Neither of these really answers the question. I guess if I get bored enough, I can do it myself.
That's his average... this year
I didn't think it appropriate to factor in LT's average against previous Raiders teams, since the 2006 version has set a new standard for StinkNi!
This scenario is in line with my thinking. The Chargers should be concerned about getting LT a little bit of rest prior to the final month of the season. He's a workhorse and all that, but even he has his limits. Once San Diego assumes control of the game, he should be resting on the sideline.It's very possible that San Diego charges out to an early lead in this game and hands the 2nd half running duties over to the Burner.The last 4 games, the Chargers have needed their superstar to carry the load - at least 24 points given up- 21 and 17 point deficts the last two weeks vs CIN and DENOakland will not present the level of competition the Chargers faced the last 4 weeks during LT2's history-setting run.At least that's what I'm hoping.
As an LT owner, I'm hoping that the law of averages DOES kick in here and limit his production ... and a new 4TD/game streak resumes on week 14!
Suppose you have to choose between Edge @ MIN and the Burner... would you be bold enough to start Turner (1/15yds - 6pts/TD - no ppr)... of course, this is not a WDIS question... it's a rhetorical question!This scenario is in line with my thinking.

I actually think you're right. I'm almost considering starting both LT and Turner....It's very possible that San Diego charges out to an early lead in this game and hands the 2nd half running duties over to the Burner.The last 4 games, the Chargers have needed their superstar to carry the load - at least 24 points given up- 21 and 17 point deficts the last two weeks vs CIN and DENOakland will not present the level of competition the Chargers faced the last 4 weeks during LT2's history-setting run.At least that's what I'm hoping.
what does it matter how he did against Oak last year or two years ago (see historical Denver Bronco stats)?That's his average... this year
If these numbers you posted are correct - you averaged the TDs wrong. I count 10 TDs and 11 games - which is 0.91 TDs per game.
That's what a lot of people (myself included) thought in week 6 vs. SF.Turner's' line: 1/0/0 rushing, 0/0/0 receiving in a 48-19 W.I'm leaving Turner on my bench this week.
His workload has not been heavy over this record setting period. He's averaged 25 touches over the last 4 games and his career average is 25.8/game. He's just doing a lot more with those touches.
Really? Care to explain why?Are you saying that Shottenheiner isn't aware of LT's record setting pace?You're fooling yourself if you don't think they'll be giving him more goaline work than ever in the next few games.lmao &
Gore would rush for 12.
I would think it is more of a "if it's not broke don't fix it." LT gets the ball at the GL and on the 1st try he takes it in. Why change anything? There was a GL pass in last week's game, it just wasn't to Gates. Rivers is spreading the ball around more than Brees did.Really?

I agree. It has nothing to do with the record. LT doesn't seem to care that much about the record and the coach's surely aren't going to start changing their gameplan so that LT can get it. They want to win games and the best/safest way to win is to hand the ball to Mr. Money. Keep doing it until they stop you. It seems as if he's getting hands offs 5-8 yards from the goal line and even though everyone in the stadium knows he's gonna get the ball he still seems to go in on the 1st shot (sometimes untouched).I would think it is more of a "if it's not broke don't fix it."

Who is talking anything about a big game.. if anything most people are expecting him to have your average 20 carry 100 yard 1td game with some receiving stats throw in. If he gets me that id be fine this weekend.. he gets me more that'd be awesome but im not gonna get my hopes up for a 4 td game because it is very unlikely to happen.
I'm trying really hard not to call you names. 75 and a TD this week? You mean in the first quarter? They're not going to feed LT the ball inside the 10 every time to get him the record? Have you been watching any Charger games? LT always gets first crack inside the five, and he almost always scores.You either:1. Hate LT with a passion.2. Are on a hugelmao &
expedition.3. Are all the bad names I could call you but Shick! would send me an angry PM.LT is a freaking ATM (Automatic Touchdown Machine). I have the distinct pleasure of having to play against him this week. It's a crucial week for me and I NEED a win. However, I get the feeling LT will single handedly end my fantasy football season this week. What kind of sick stats will I have the pleasure to see for LT after this game. I'm thinking:23 carries, 150 yards, 3TD's.
that ####.
one of the best posts I have read in awhile.attempting to jinx LT :thumbdown:
While I agree in spirit, consider this - the Chargers will already know the outcome of the Bronco-Chiefs game and if the Broncos lose, the Chargers take a huge step forward by beating the Raiders.They can actually think confidently about taking the division and going deep into the playoffs - if the Raiders game is in hand early in the fourth (say a 2 TD lead) and LT has his #s (say 120-150 total yards and a couple of TDs), there is really no reason to continue running him.
I'm not sure at what point of the 2nd half this will happen, but it will happen. The game will take a turn or two to lead the true Raider fans into allowing our emotions to get involved into the game (when going into it,our emotions are not involved). Then LT will do what needs to be done and the game will be over about the last Raider "drive". LT will get at least 150 total yards and 3 TD's IMHO.Marc Levin said:
