How does KJ perform vs. Minny this week? (1 Viewer)

[RamMan]

KJ's been on a roll (I know, sounds weird even saying it). He's in Minny this weekend and looking for his 3rd productive game in a row. Minny's been very stout vs. the run - no 100 yrd games yet and only 3 TD's (McGahee, DeAngelo, and Portis).

With the DET offense finally clicking, I'm predicting 120 combined yrds. for KJ with a score. Any takers?

I'd agree. 80-90 yds on the ground, and about 30 receiving with a TD sounds about right. I think he's going to continue to be a very good RB2 going forward.

I 'm starting him in place of Rudi this week. I'd be happy with 80 and a Touch. perhaps 20 rec.

best thing about KJ is that he has gotten at least 5 receptions per game..

he's turned those receptions into at least 35 yards in three out of the first four games

2? He's a 1 right now.Not sure I see a TD in the cards this week, but definitely 100 total yards.

OK...Let me see if I follow your logic.

Step 1: KJ is looking for his third productive game in a row.

Step 2: Minnesota has not given up a 100 yard game and have only allowed 3 TD's on the ground.

Step 3: KJ is going to have a giant game.

This doesn't really compute for me. KJ's big games came against St. Louis and Green Bay. St. Louis has been horrible against the run this year giving up 161 rushing yards and a score to Denver where M. Bell and T. Bell averaged 5.8 and 6.7 yards, respectively, 127 yards and a score to F. Gore, and 94 yards and a score to Edge. Green Bay is just a bad football team. Couple these stats with the fact that Minnesota has been quite staunch against the run, and I say that starting KJ is a risky venture for Week 5.

Where did you come up with Step 3 as part of my logic? I would't consider 120 total/1 TD a "GIANT" game, nor did I say that anywhere. It would be good production against a good defense. The point of my post is that I believe KJ is finally being put in a postion, and is becoming part of a system, that gives him a chance to utilize his considerbale skills, even vs. a good D. I think he does nothing but improve as the season goes on - and I'm predicting a Top 12 finish this year, which would be incredible value from where he was drafted in most leagues.

in his other 2 games against defenses ranked higher(bears and seahawks) than the vikings kj put up at least 80 total yardsthe oline has looked better each week and they will need a good game against the viking d line

i will say 100 total yards and a td(he is avg. 96 per game)
