And why would that be? Other than Johnson is unproven.....Edge is proven to be average at best. Why not swing for the fences?
Because you'll kill your season. Let him do something first before you start him over a decent starter like Edge who has a good matchup.
This is not a WDIS thread. I'm starting Chris Johnson and not looking back. I'm looking for feedback from other owners that are starting CJ3 as their RB2 this week and who they are planning to bench in order to start him. I'm trying to gage if I'm one of the few people actually starting him this week.
Because swinging for the fences is a lower percentage cut. Sure you have a 20% chance of hitting a home run... but you've got an 80% chance of striking out. THe only time that makes sense is vs a far superior team where you need breakout performances to have a chance. It's obvious you're just sucking around for "Who Do I Start" advice so here it is. From FBGs Preliminary week 1 cheatsheets:RB12 Edgerrin James - ARI at SF.....RB37 Chris Johnson - TEN vs JAX
So why does this deserve it's own thread outside the "I'm starting _________ over ________" thread? What would the shark pool look like if we had one of these threads for every marginal player out there?You're cluttering the forum. Keep that stuff in the already existing threads.
:IBTL:
It deserves its own thread b/c Chris Johnson is the 2nd coming of Clinton Portis. I'm seeing whether other folks realize this or not and whether they are willing to take a risk this week or wait a week or two.
Get this WDIS thread out of here.
You're nuts. Arizona/SF may be a shootout. Tenn/Jax, not so much. But good luck with that.The Real Deal said:
I'm jiggy with you Real. I am OK with you starting this thread. I usually ignore all threads with more than 50 posts because it becomes too hard to find relative information. I like new threads,fresh information, I haven't opened that 25,000 post Chris Johson thread in weeks. Now to answer your question, I only have Johnson in one of my leagues, and I am not starting him. I am going with Reggie Bush or Thomas Jones over Chris Johnson.The Real Deal said:
I'm in the exact same scenario and am starting Edge. I thought about CJohnson for about two minutes, then realized Edge had too good of a matchup to pass up. Doesn't help that CJohnson is a rookie who has not starting and has yet to do anything and is playing a pretty good run D (week 1 2007 aside ...).If the Titans clearly show that they are going for at least a 50/50 split at RB, I might consider him Week 2, but Week 1 it's not even close to worth the risk.The Real Deal said:
I completely agree. Don't see this as a shootout. Another reason to take a chance on CJ3Wally Cleaver said:
and you be 0-1 come Tuesday
I think you guys are underestimating the Cards passing game and just how poor their defense is by a fairly wide margin.
Please do not do this. Bush is PPR *gold*. You're benching a top 10 PPR back, for a complete unknown commodity.
True but it is far more entertaining if he sticks with his decision.
LBJ ia A-OK.Congrats for having the vision to go with Light Blue Jesus!You will surely be rewarded on Judgement Day.
This is one hell of a
The second coming of Clinton Portis? Yes he is. And Lendale White is the second coming of Olandis Gary. Bench Johnson at your own risk.
Ugh, this is not a WDIS thread. I'm starting Johnson this week with confidence as my RB2 over Edge. I was just curious to see how many other sharks were doing the same or if they were waiting for him to bust out first before they started him.
Get this WDIS thread out of here......anyone who refers to people as "sharks or guppies" is most likely new to this place. Wrong forum.
I think I'm doing the same. I'm real torn, but Grant's got some injury concerns and he's got his toughest matchup of the season right off the bat
"I am starting ______ over ______" threads are just ways to get assurance that you started the right guy. Take it to the ACF, or buy an FBG subscription.
Already bought one.And while you may be right, I think just fueling the fire that's been burning since this thread was created isn't real productive.This guy has already been told that this is disguised as a WDIS post. Personally, I'm kind of interested to see who's on the train this year so much that they are starting him week 1... BUT, anyone can start CJ3 week 1 over a scrub, so it's interesting to see who's on board so much that they'd bench someone like Edge, Ronnie Brown, Ryan Grant, etc. Just if you don't have anything to ADD to the thread, and you see that people have already come at the OP for it looking like a WDIS thread, then don't post anything. Just a thought
and these "content lawyers" act all high and mighty and they turn on up the tool factor to a point that's utterly ridiculous. Makes me wonder what they actually do for a living, fun, etc when they spend (waste) all their time in here being a content lawyer. All these little kids get all high and mighty, it's something I'm rather sick of too. FBG has administrators for this board. Let them worry about WDIS threads in the shark pool, double posting, etc.
