I admit I don't watch the Packers, statistically they are the 22nd ranked run defense but you call it a tough matchup, what am I missing?ETA - Just answered my own question by research, they give up lots of rushing yards to QBS (Vick and Shaun Hill) and that has the stats skewed.
Great Job, MS. That's it. They've played Vick and S. Hill. Combined they rushed for more than 150+ yards. The stats. are skewed, I'm glad you dug deeper.
Not much success against GB by opposing RBs. It will be tough sledding for any Redskin RB.
Run like what? Other than his TD, I don't remember thinking, "Wow, great run!" in regards to Torain.
If anyone needs a sig, you've found it.
lol. The new posterboy for those without lives outside of football.
I thought he ran well in the first half. The second half was a lot of "washington is trying to grind out the win" offense so he saw a lot of stacked boxes and still kept positive yardage.
Haha. Nysportsfan I like yours better. Its my new sig!
Some of the owners in my league are doctors, firemen, and policemen. We are a 14 team league and 10 of us are in those areas of employment. Just think how lucky you are that your couch glued #### can be saved on a Sunday because we believe that we have better things to do than "manning the battlestation on sundays" and watching football. I can record and watch an entire football game in less than an hour. Go enjoy the timeouts, commercials, challenges, and halftime shows and I will continue playing in a league that doesn't allow waiver pick-ups on gamedays. I don't hate because you got your days off "right". I actually feel sorry for you that you don't know any better.
HEY... not everyone wants to be a productive member of society. Not everyone wants to recognize that there are people who actually have their priorities straight - you know, family, the community, being a productive member of society rather than someone with the mentality of a 22 year old frat boy (although I do miss those days).
Not to totally derail this thread, but my league used FCFS for 7 years before switching over to waivers this year and it is so much better. This is coming from someone who doesn't work Sundays. I came to the realization that something had to change last year when I was driving over to my buddy's house to watch football when I heard on the radio that Frank Gore was injured and I frantically got out my phone WHILE DRIVING to pick up Glenn Coffee. I thought...there has got to be a better way than this.Waivers are great because it involves actual strategy instead of "fastest guy to his computer wins" which is total bush league anyways. I like to actually relax and enjoy football on Sundays.
You need to be introduced to the RedZone Channel.btw if you have DirecTV with the Sunday Ticket they have apps that will stream the games to your phone.
Torain hype is very strong in my league, at least with one guy. I just got an email offering Colston for him!
Wow...Id take either of those trades quickly. Am trying to get Mike Wallace this week before he blows up once Ben is back. Might use Torain as bait now.
Keiland Williams is on the practice squad, so he'd be available. Not saying he'd be the guy they'd go to in that situation, just that he's still available to the team.
I think he's a great start this week. I think most on this board would agree. The debate is on his value for the rest of the season.
I did the exact same thing! Was on a trip to San Diego, and I think that game was a Thursday night game. There is a Denver Broncos-themed sportsbar in Carlsbad, CA (North of SD) where we sat and watched the game. I was so psyched seeing Torain rip it up in the 1st half...then the injury. Picked him up in Dynasty, if for nothing else but a warm body on my RB starved team. Let's see what he does.
I have Barber and there is no way I am dropping him for Ryan Torain.
Starting him this week to cover Mendy's bye. Then next to cover Benson's - then trade him away after two weeks of 120/2.

He's been selling Torain from the beginning, mentioned it again in the waiver wire special audible for week 5 too.
Keiland Williams
Probably Keiland Williams. Chad Simpson may be in the conversation.They just signed Javarris James to the practice Squad.
Just got offered Ocho for Torain. Thinking about it since I have no WRs but I have no RBs either. Is the shark move to make the trade and pick up K Williams
Well, you still would be without a WR - gut has been junk the last three weeks.
