RB Match ups to Exploit/Avoid week 2 (1 Viewer)

[dmac37]

Great job MOP!! look forward to this each week

Brandon Jackson: Only 40 yds on 15 carries but 75 total yds and 4 catches made him a nice RB2 in PPR leagues last week. He is the starter and got all of the carries. Watch to see if Morency gets his health back but for the moment, it is the Brandon Jackson show in Green Bay.

Good to see something a little positive on B. Jackson. Everywhere I look people are trashing this guy. He looked good in receiving and running after the catch last week. As far as running the ball, he had no room to run, same case as many of the studs that could not gain any yards either. Give this guy a chance!

Derrick Ward: Had almost 120 total yds and a TD on Sunday Night but he was playing a defense that had a big lead for most of the game…I am not sure I would be wheeling him out unless you own Jacobs and are forced to play this guy cause you plucked him up off the WW. In fact, for Jacobs’s owners, you better run and grab this guy for a few weeks. Droughns was not asked to carry the ball hardly at all and I don’t know that he will be asked to do a lot more this Sunday…maybe a handful of carries but Ward played well in relief.

Any chance A. Bradshaw gets a chance to show what he's got while Jacobs is out. I think he could surprise if given the chance.

excellent write up.

Small point, but disagree on Dayne. Majority of his carries were on the last 2 drives when the game was won. I don't see the Texans in that position often and in a close game i would think Green stays on the field.

I own Bradshaw in quite a few dynasty leagues and I like him long term but I don't see him getting a lot of carries right now. He is being brough along very very slwoly...I think Ward and Droughns would have to go down befroe you see a lot of Bradshaw right now.

Only watched parts of the game last week, but I did pay attention to GB's last drive in the 1st half when they were running their 2 minute offense, and BJax looked good blocking and coming out of the backfield catching passes.

Hey Blue, I talked about this in post #47...I am not saying that Dayne will get 13 touches every week, however in weeks 13-16 last year he was very very productive so when I write something like this..."Ron Dayne: Had 13 carries on Sunday, one of the better back ups to stash on your roster."

I do that so people take notice. SOme back ups it doesn't matter, meaning even if the starter went down I wouldn't expect much from the RB2...with Dayne I would expect some production so for owners in deep leagues and maybe have an extra roster spot, I would tuck him away for a rainy day. I own Ahman Green in several leagues and I don't want to see the guy injured but I also know the bak up there is capable of doing thing in Kubiak's offense.

Thanks MOP for confirming my starting RB line up for the week.

FWP and AP (1st time in log time I excited about having player on most of FF teams)

Now my 8 Man leauge (1st year of leauge need get them to 10 or 12) I have much harder choice with FWP, Addai and AD. ......

 

[Cookiemonster]

Good writeup. I really like that you posted a link to last week's also. This lends credibility that we can easily go back and look at. I like your predictions, as I am seeing the same things you are, and you are on track w/ the best of 'em so far. I may even start coming to grips with my manlove of Ronnie Brown. I hope AD can help me move on.

 

[pantherclub]

Also I am loving some L Jordan this year. He may creep into the top 10 in points and be the steal of the draft.

I'm just scared of the Rhodes issue and Oakland's overall patheticism. I just get the feeling it will be split time when Rhodes comes back no matter what he does. Case in point: They lost at home to Detroit. That's as pathetic as it gets.

Yes, but those of us that stoile him in round 8+ might be able to sell him in a week or two for someone that got drafted much higher.

Such as?

Dear FBGsIf he is already not on the payroll - Hire MOP immediately - this is top notch subscriber material. Look forward to it more than the cheatsheet rankings each week!Well done man!

Thanks for the kind words Kid...problem is this would be a completely different thread or article over at FBG. 1st off, they have Wimer who posts the match ups, and an army of folks that give you cheatsheets, weather, SOS, what their dog ate for breakfast...and this thread thrives from the feedback from all of you. I am sure Wimer and crew would love to get some feedback on the board with what they write...but they can't just post it here as it is paid material.I would be honored if FBG approached me but I did work very briefly on the news blogger about 4-5 years ago, I have had some material published as a guest article in year's past, but I'm not sure where exactly I would fit in over there with all the staff they have in place already.

You are the man, great post.

As always nice write up MOP. Still doesn't help me much with my decisions because you basically called both players good starts, but hey that's my problem.2 guys I disagree with: LJ & MaroneyLJ - Don't bench your studs. Chicago's defense has been known to give up some big games on the ground. Ask yourself this: If LJ has a good game and you benched him how would you feel? Maroney - Yes the matchup is not great, but NE offense can move the ball. I can see Maroney have about 50 yards rushing and maybe sneak 1-2 TDs in there from some goalline runs. NE may try to ball control the offense to keep LT off the field.2 guys I'm unsure about:L.Jordan - Chasing points?D.McAllister - Rebound game?2 guys I agree with:T.Henry - Expectations need to be tempered.T.Jones - I'm not liking the Jets running game right now.

I don't think Maroney is going to sneak anything in on the Bolts...he might get a nice run, but he is far form sneaky. But I agree that NE should be able to expose the secondary a little more.

I know it has only been 1 week, but has NE shown anything about Morris being the goal line back? Evans scored one last week, but is that more of NE's doing the unexpected at the goal line(throw to eligble lineman, defensive players in at TE, etc.)?

It just seems like Morris, a vetran now in the NFL, is having no problem in this offense and looke pretty fluid. Maroney is the guy, former 1st round pick, but I think owners are going to pull their hair out with t=him. In a start up dynasty this past Spring...HyperActive 2, I took Addai over Maroney and the guy behind me scooped Maroney up with th enext pick. I still think I made the right play because Addai has no one to vulture his points and he is a dual threat...not seeing where Maroney is going to catch a lot of balls yet.

Dillon saw 10+ TD's last year getting ~12 carries a game. Morris had 11 on Sunday. I woudn't be surprised at all if Bill B uses Morris excatly like he used Dillon. We'll find out when NE starts getting GL opps.

 

[shredhead]

Great post as ususal MOP! My only gripe is a very minor one. Ron Dayne got 9 of his 13 carries in the 4th qtr with Houston leading 20-3. They were trying to save the wear and tear on Green IMO. When the Texans are in closer games, I would expect to see more Green carries and less Dayne carries. I would hardley call Dayne one of the better backups to stash. like I said, very minor gripe. I like your insight as always.

BTW: Sam Adams(14thseason) and Amon Gordon(4th season) are listed as the starting D tackles for the Broncos. The Broncos rotate D line players constantly throughout games and all 4 of their draft picks this year are D linemen. All 4 made the team and are seeing different amounts of action.

Good stuff Shredhead. I would tell you to rethink your Dayne mindset though. I mention him because we want back ups on our rosters that might actually do something if given the opp. 18/95, 21/87/2TD, 18/94/TD, 32/153/2TD...those are Ron Dayne's stats with Carr under center in weeks 13-16 last year...don't believe me?

DD's Fabuloso Website

We want to be ahead of the curve, not waiting in line with everyone else come week 8.

Thanks MOP, I think I will take your advice and look at the Dayne thing a little closer. Part of my opinion may be the fact that I'm a Denver homer and he disappointed here. (I'm sure Giant fans can relate) Also as a Denver homer, I am well aware of how valuable a RB can be in Kubiak's offense, so I totally understand the stashing him on your roster idea. I currently have A Peterson (Chi) stashed for the same reason, but maybe I should look at Dayne. I may have a spot for him on one of my other teams. I'm still not 100% sure yet, but I'll take a closer look! Thanks MOP!!

 

[Gr00vus]

Great post MOP. Also we respect you for breaking down and giving props to the Chargers. Here's hoping they make you do it again after this Sunday.

 

[sholditch]

I was about to start Lewis as my RB4, but I see Cleveland getting behind very, very early in this game. It would not surprise me if they were losing by 14-21 points in the first quarter. After all, they will be going up against an offense that makes the Pitt offense look slow and ineffective. I decided to put in a WR at that spot instead. I dunno, I just think that, by no fault of his own, Lewis will only be a good start against teams that the Browns have a chance of keeping up with offensively, and there are maybe 4-5 teams in the entire NFL that fit that description. I'm no Browns homer and I don't know much about that team, but I see them playing from behind all year, which will be terrible for Lewis. Really regretting that draft choice even in the 5-7-round range.

Hey MOp --

First time caller, long time listener -

I'm actually very intrigued by Leon Washington this week. I know the Jets Oline has issues. I know Clemens might start. I know the Ravens D is harsh.

But several things occur to me - one, the Ravens D took a physical beating last week, so they may be a bit run down on a short week. Which means, maybe they might not be as stiff as they normally are.

Two, The Jets Oline is weak enough to allow lots of unfriendlies into the backfield - causing whomever is back there to have to dump the ball off - and who gets short pases out of the backfield? Leon.

And all it takes is one hole and off he goes.

He's not a SAFE start by any stretch. But I think if you feel you need to roll the dice, have some questions at the flex spot or have some ugly matchups for your #12 RB - well, I think Leon is an intriguing hail mary this week.

Thoughts?

Great post.I agree and that is why I am keeping him up as a RB of interest. If he were to get 4-5 catches, he suddenly is a start in most PPR leagues in a flex spot. My problem with the Jets is Clemens getting his 1st start...against the Ravens...David vs Goliath here and sorry but David usually only wins in the Bible.

 

[supermark_28]

I hope you're right on Jordan, but I think there is a big differnece between playing the Lions defense and facing the Denver defense on the road.The Raiders mustered up all of 3 points and only 244 yards of offense last year in Denver. I know that was then and this is now, but I still have my doubts . . .

MOP,I have Jordan and have to agree w/ Yudkin here. I know they were gouged by Buffalo last week but a division game at home for Denver,I'm thinking their D steps up. As always,great writeup!!!

 

[drm1125]

So who do you like between B. Jackson and D. Ward?

Tell me what you think about their mtach ups and maybe share what your choices are at RB. I listed some rules last week which you can link on, we are trying to stay away from WDIS. I want to encourage you to share your thoughts, I think the OP shares an awful lot of mine. Cool?Tell me what you have observed about Jackson...what do you see as upside for Ward this week?

Jackson doesn't look great but does look servicable and he is playing the giants who let the cowboys run all over them. Ward looked really good last week but was it because the cowboys defense is terrible? I also worry that Morency will be back this week and take alot of carries away from Jackson. With Ward I'm now worried about Manning being out, although I do think he could catch alot of dump off passes. So, I actually think they are going to be strikingly similer this week. My issue is I can't really see who has the most upside this week and who has a better chance to score more points? My other RB is LT, so I need to choose between these two guys for my RB2.

 

[PACKER 7]

Atlanta at Jacksonville:

Two teams that had better expectations by almost everyone in the Shark Pool…most know I felt Atlanta would quickly show that they are heading for an awful season without Vick. The Falcons gave up 5.1 ypc and 130+ on the ground, JAX was run over for 5.8 ypc and 282 yards on the ground…HOLY SNICKERDOODLES!!!



Warrick Dunn: He had about 80 yds and 4 receptions last week…proved somewhat valuable in PPR leagues. Norwood had a much better ypc avg but it seems Petrino is going to allow Dunn to get a bulk of the carries for now. Perhaps that will change but until then, owners with both on their rosters need to look at playing Dunn.

Jerious Norwood: People that drafted him in the 2nd-4th rounds of redrafts were high on something. Norwood is a bench till he shows he can get more of the carries. 57 yds on 7 touches including 2 receptions…seems like last year all over again.

Thanks, MOP. Good Stuff.I'm very interested to see how Dunn does this week. I know Petrino has said Norwood will see the ball more, but I just don't believe it will be that much increase in workload or so much of a decrease in Dunn's role. Dunn has always been under appreciated and still performed very well. Couldn't believe Norwood was going ahead of Dunn in drafts.

I think this will be a ground game and very low scoring for both teams. I wouldn't be surprised if the Falcons ran it 40+ times. So maybe Norwood would get 15 and Dunn 25. So if anything I see Norwood's role increasing, but Dunn's touches wont be reduced, imo.

The only thing is, the Jags are licking their wounds after getting ran over by TN and I'm not sure ATL's O-line is as good as TN's. So this game may get personal.

So I wouldn't advocate starting Dunn as RB2 just yet, but if you have a flex spot for RB3 then Dunn is a better than solid play this week.

If Dunn can do well this week, I think the Norwood chatter will just be background noise again. We'll see.

Any additional thoughts on the ATL RB situation?

much better...now let me add some thoughts.Jackson might not look great but for a rookie and th eonly player getting the carries too, i thought he did alright. Knocked in about 75 yds total and had some receptions, might not be a bad RB2 a lot of weeks. Ward is going to be in for a rough time if Eli is out which reports seem to indicate. What is the back up's name...Lozenger? Sounds like something you take for a cold or sore throat. I don't like the OL all that much in NY and I think Ward is fool's gold right now.

Nice post, I agree with about everything you wrote. Good stuff.

 

[HellToupee]

Sometimes, we tend to over react to things based on one game. But there are times when someone can start drawing conclusions quickly based on off season movement, pre season effort, and especially week 1 performance. These teams have had a long time to get focused and ready for their week 1 match up so keep that in mind as we go along. I will also do a brief recap on certain players that I feel need mention.I also want folks to understand that there are times that no matter how great or bad the match up, the opposite will happen. I equate it to poker…will pocket Aces win all the time? No, and it’s the same with FF. We can look and read and analyze but in the end we are playing the percentages to some degree. Just because a team did well in week 1 against the run, or poorly, doesn’t mean you just pencil in the numbers for your game the next week. Will Jax give up 200 yds rushing again this year? Maybe, but not very likely. Houston and Tennessee held their opponents to under 80 yds rushing…are they that good? Not when you look at their 4.2 and 4.4 yds a clip average, so the teams they faced may simply not have run the ball enough. Keep these things in mind when you are filling in your starting rosters. Let’s jump to the action for week 2!What say you?

Excellent post MOP . Cripes you go from the low of ratting out the :movement: to the high of this great read .

 

[packersfan]

I agree and that is why I am keeping him up as a RB of interest. If he were to get 4-5 catches, he suddenly is a start in most PPR leagues in a flex spot. My problem with the Jets is Clemens getting his 1st start...against the Ravens...David vs Goliath here and sorry but David usually only wins in the Bible.

I think Washington will get 3 receptions a week on a consistent basis. I've likened him to Chris Perry of two seasons ago when he caught 51 passes for the Bengals. I see Washington putting up similar reception totals but getting more of a chance to run the ball than Perry got. The key to starting him in a PPR league is to have the right matchup so that he can not only get his 3 receptions but also do something with the 6-10 carries he's likely to get each week. I don't see that happening this week. I think it's going to be very tough for him to get anything going on the ground against the Ravens (same with Jones) and I think Baltimore's speed to the ball will contain him in the passing game. I'm a huge Washington fan but I'm not sure this is the week to gamble with him. I think Dodds' projections are pretty much on the mark, maybe adding a few more receiving yards but that's about it.

I've always rated higher in the Shark Pool than the FFA

 

[jdoggydogg]

Great read, MOP. Your picks are very thoughtful.

I am going to start A. Peterson over Maroney this week, and it's not even a tough decision. I really don't like the San Diego matchup. I think that Maroney ends up with 60 combined yards and a TD. I think Peterson finishes with 90 total yards and two TDs. I don't even worry about Chester Taylor playing. If Lamont Jordan can get two TDs vs. the Lions, then even a part-time Peterson should have a good week vs. Detroit.

While I do think Maroney will have some big statistical games this year, San Diego is not the game I'd pick.

[Skyking]

Great job MOP.

I especially am interested in the Maroney - Lamont Jordan issue. I have to choose one of these guys to start in my PPR league. I am leaning towards Jordan, just hate to watch the Sunday 8pm game and watch my #1 draft choice (Maroney at #11) go off, but that's what fantasy football is all aboout!

Thanks again,
