I would rather just research Sjax. He isn't your typical run of the mill player.
Either you have a HUGE hand, or you should do some research before you spout nonsense like this.Last year RB12 was Chris Johnson with 183 FF points (standard FBG scoring)
While I don't think SJax is "over the hill" or anything, let's not get too excited. He played 1 series in week 2, yeah he happened to score a TD, but he had 3 rushes for 0 yards, and 1 catch for 8. I wouldn't call that "well on his way to a great week 2."
Jesus Christ this thread is circling right back around..see above for my post from AUGUST when you were saying the exact same thing. Change the record or just stop posting. I don't know how many times you can say the same thing. Its clear-you think 30 years old=RB death. Got it.
I sure would. The lesser RBs on his team continued that game with good numbers, numbers Sjax was going to get.
I understand what you are getting at, but saying he was "on his way to a great day" against StL is just not accurate. Even based on what the Atl RBs did after he left, he wouldn't have had a "great day." In that game, the ATL RBs combined for 16 carries, 36 yards, 10 rec, 92 yards, 1 TD. It's not reasonable to give Jackson all of that production, as some came from Rodgers and the FB Ewing, who would have had a few carries/catches anyway. Is 80 total yards and 1 TD a "great day?"ETA-"Fantasy relevant" DOES NOT equal "great day"
Id go get him. They are a high powered offense and brought him in to be an every down/goaline back which is rare these days. He got 11 out of the13 RB carries week 1, and 5 rec on 8 targets week 1. Ill take a feature RB that catches ball and will likely get all the goaline work when healthy any day. These weeks off should have him fresher later in the year
Exactly what I was thinking. I am in the enviable position of having Martin, Forte, Bernard, Murray and Powell ( brought in as potential cover for bye week hell in week 5 ). Plan is to wait until week 5 is over and go and get him. It's risky, because someone could take him, but I'm dead last in the WW order this week.
dont know why he would come back this week when they have a cakewalk matchup and a bye next week
the writing was on the wall. There were a ton of folks on here saying he would lead the league in touchdowns On the whole 30 years old is the magic number for running backs to stay away from. Especially with the wear and tear on guys like Jackson.
whoopdie ####### doo. YOU WERE RIGHT! Can we move on instead of suckin ypur own **** the whole thread?
You mad bro?
There's no "magic number" - and if some think so, then good for them because it irrationally limits those owners choices.That said, SJax hadly came into the season an unknown. Hard competitor, good producer on terrible teams and injury prone.
While I have been banging the drum for his return, this news has me decidedly down. Close to 5 weeks of recovery time including the bye week and he still can't practice. Disconcerting to be sure.
Fingers crossed, but honestly i doubt it. I was holding on to hope that he'd be a big help when he got back, but with the current WR situation i have no faith.Bobbyn2022 said:
before julio and gonzo the falcons still gave turner tons of goal line chances
I can't do it. I kept him from last year and my roster is large enough that the possibility (however minor) for a late-season/FF playoffs healthy return is just too alluring. I am making ends meet with some good trades/WW moves so I am okay with him getting a big chunk of rest, if it means he's coming back FULLY healthy and will be facing battle-weary defenses on fresh legs. Could pay dividends in the important weeks to owners that are diligent enough to hang through the tough times.
I've already dropped him in the one league I have him. It's a 12 team, 2rb, 3wr, 1te PPR league with no flex. I can only start two rbs and I have Charles, Gio and Sproles. I'm sitting in first at 5-1. I have to start 3wrs and I traded Edelman for Cobb last week. So I dropped Sjax and Amendola (this is another player that I realize just won't do #### for me, depsite having loved him since his rookie year) to add a little depth at my now weak wr position with Douglas and Boykin for the immediate future, and to have room to stash Cobb and Harvin for later. My WRs that I can start now are Dez, Decker, Douglas/Boykin.
Jackson's 18.5 points in FPC scoring looks pretty good today.
