Another 120 yards against a good run D from the supposedly too-inconsistent-to-be-a-RB1 Michael Turner. Reminds everyone how silly that "argument" was.

And that playoff schedule suddenly became much easier with the Vikings in week 16.

If in Dynasty, who's would you keep over Turner?
MJD
Chris Johnson
Ronnie Brown

CJ would make for a serious debate in my head. I think I'd take Turner over the other two.

In any kind of PPR/receiving heavy or returner leagues, both MJD & CJ3.If straight yardage/TD only league, then I think Turner edges out MJD.I'd take CJ3 over Turner in all formats.
Those are serious numbers. What a year!

This is laughable now. Turner finishing like a machine and CJ3 finishing like a dud. Rookie wall or not, there is no way I'd rather have Johnson over Turner next season. Or you could be the guy in my dynasty league with Turner, LT, AND Johnson. Nice problem to have.

I've always been a big fan of Michael Turner, and I am happy to have the opportunity to keep him for a few more years in my main league. However, one thing concerns me. He is currently at 376 carries and still has the playoffs in front of him. How much more risk does this pose for Turner's owners going into next season? Does the fact that he hasn't had many carries up until this point in his career given him an added advantage in overcoming breakdown that occurs to many RBs the following season with the type of workload he has received?

not to hijack, but I ended up in a trade to get MJD and could have gotten Turner. My concern with MJD is getting those 100 yard games as my league awards bonus points for 100 yard games. what's MJD's outlook for 100+ games rushing wise for 2009? make me feel better about my decision to get MJD instead!

In a standard scoring/non-PPR format, the only guy I'd rather have more than Turner next year is Adrian Peterson. And that is a close race considering the better supporting cast in Atlanta will give Turner more red zone opportunities. DWill is up there too but after some reflection I believe he is a notch below because of the RBBC situation there. CJ3 isn't in the same tier with any of those guys in non-PPR.

I think it's a bit of a concern, especially considering how hard he runs and how much contact he dishes out. I think he'll be a beast for a couple more years, though. And by then he'll be pushing 30 anyway, and will expected to begin a slow decline. What he has going in his favor is how few receptions he gets. His number of touches on the season is still well below 400.

I waited on him a long time in several leagues. It is good to see the investment pay off. I wish I had as much patience waiting on Deangelo Williams.
One observation, and one only. I have seen the Burner run down from behind several times this year where I never saw this before. What gives?
