We've all been inundated by now with the strategy to acquire LJ over the next few weeks and "ride him to the championship" 
Assuming LJ continues his mediocrity vs. MIN, SD, and JAX over the bext 3 weeks, AND assuming his owner isn't a complete guppy, are you still interested? Are you going to be prepared to give up your late 1st round pick for him (ie: Henry, FWP, SA, Addai), cause you know that's what it's going to take. At least no one in my league is giving up an LJ for a 2nd tier RB or even a first tier WR with 2/3 of the season left. They're going to want a replacement for their RB#1.
Looking over LJ's schedule AFTER his bye week, it doesn't look as tasty as it did a couple of weeks ago when everyone started jabbering about the strategy (GB, DEN, IND, OAK, SD, DEN, TEN, DET, NYJ). GB, IND, and TEN defenses seem much improved and there's not a cakewalk in bunch until Championship week #16 when DET hits the schedule (assuming you make it that far).
I play in an auction league and spent a good portion of my cap on SJax and FWP (my one keeper). Before the season began, I was salivating at the thought of pairing SJax and LJ and thought I'd offer FWP to the LJ owner after the the KC/JAX game week 5. Now, at this juncture I'm not sure I'd do it, even though FWP would still have BAL twice, MIA, and JAX on his schedule (although I might be willing to consider SJax
).
If you're considering acquiring LJ over the next coupla weeks, what are you going to be willing to give up to get him? And don't wussy out by saying "Edge" or "McGahee" cause it aint going to happen....

LT didn't do so well early on last season,either, and he turned out just fine. In Herm, we trust, for the second half of the season at least..
