big difference between wanting to go for 200 and going for 200 returning from a bad injury.

just sayin

...to see him go for 200. He's got a lot of yards to reach his goal and this team certainly isn't as bad as it's record indicates.19-140 5-62 1

Why should I trust that he's going to be healthy enough, effective enough, and a focal point of the offense? Next week is the Rams bye week, and being winless at the midway point of the season places less urgency on rushing him back to a full workload. I'm afraid to start him, but with Cleveland being a weak run D, I'm afraid to sit him. SJAX was supposed to be my best RB, and while the Rams have little hope of winning anything, my team is in the thick of things. He could really make or break a lot of fantasy teams today. I just wish I had a gut feeling or a sense of confidence with him, and so far this year I have very little to go on to inspire me.Anyone want to convince me one way or the other?

I also think this is a make or break week for the Rams season. Therefore, I see him getting the ball early and see how the injury responds. If it good to go, he will roll to big numbers. If it is a make or break week for you, why not roll the dice and hope to come up yo-11?!

 

[DawgPoundNJ]

This isn't make or break for the Rams' season, the season's already broke at 0-7. No reason to expose Jackson to long term risk; I believe he'll split carries at best and put up modest numbers. Maybe 12-60, 4-20?

I am an SJax owner and am going to sit him today for Kevin Jones and Marshawn. This matchup is excellent. However, SJax has played CAR, SF and TB so fat this year. They currently rate 18, 23 and 21 vs the rush. Not exactly murderers row. That was when he was completely healthy and so was Bulger, yet SJax didn't score any TDs, fumbled three times, and broke 100 yards once. If my option was a low tier guy like Wynn, I'd probably go with SJax, but I think anybody that's a respectable start should go ahead of him this week.

 

[ninerfanatic492000]

the rams Oline is down to 3rd string or worse i think at every position. Sjax is great but he's not Barry Sanders where he can make 3-6guys miss behind the LOS everyplay. if he can break 200yards he needs to be tested(for drugs or cybernetics)

 

[DawgPoundNJ]

Good point Niner. Jackson's good and my Browns' run D is bad, but the injuries (and the recent release of the wife beater) create some serious problems for Bulger and Jackson.

 

[ColForbin]

200 yards?....thanks for the kiss of death

 

[Statorama]

The coach has to be feeling the heat, so I'm thinking he does anything to win this game today. If the press down there has two weeks to talk about how the 0-8 Rams got destroyed by the Cleveland Browns, it won't be pretty.

Rams have the worst OL in the NFL right now due to injury...enough said.

Huh? At 0-7, the only thing they are playing for now is pride and draft pick position. They have no shot at the playoffs, period. Again, other than pride, I see no difference between 1-7 and 0-8 for the Rams. Let's say Jackson gets hurt on his first carry and has a choice at season ending surgery that enabled him to be back healthy for 2008 and playing through the pain and being ready closer to training camp. Do you think that if the Rams are 1-7, the might actually consider the latter option since they won their make or break game?

You can't just sit Jackson and say to h*ll with the season. These guys are getting paid to go out and perform wether they're losing or not. If he's healthy enough to suit up, then he should play.

 

[PatsWillWin]

1. the injured RB "has a goal."

2. the 0-7 team has a "make or break game."

=

200+ yards.

got it.

So what you are saying is that Linehan hasn't been doing anything to win before this week? Brilliant.I see Leonard splitting with Jackson 50/50 today, and possibly outperforming him since he's in better game shape at this point.

[bulger2holt]

I can see sjax catching 8 balls out of the backfield today too. If you have him, I hope it is a ppc league. 12 rushes 80 yrds 1 td. 8 rec 60 yds 1 td

 

[Keith Lewis]

I have a feeling if the Rams lose today, they're gonna IR Jackson. I've heard many in the media say this would be the wise move. I'm not sure the Rams are going to risk their franchise player because he's on someones fantasy team.

Get the hell outta here. You are turning into the worst poster around these parts, and thats quite a featGuys that are healthy dont just get IR'd

 

[MCguidance]

As an Sjax owner I hope for a monster game. As a realist, I think 15-76 (only because of the matchup), 3-15 is in order, maybe a trip to the end zone if he is lucky. Nothing too crazy. Just as long as he is getting healthier and back to basically 100% by week 10. I think that's fair enough, no?

I'm worried, I spent a high pick on him and own him in every league, I don't want to deal in reality, I will attack the voice of reason, yeah, let's attack Keith Lewis!!!

You do realize that with a win today, the Rams are 3 games out of 1st place in their division. Last time I checked, each division winner is guaranteed a playoff spot. Their's is the worst division in football. Yeah, they have no shot. I'm not saying that the Rams are playoff bound. But, if they want to salvage their season, this is a make or break game for them.

I don't own SJAX, I'm not a Rams fan. This is just the way it is in their division.

 

[bulger2holt]

They won't IR jackson. The funny thing is, if they keep losing, they will be trying like hell to win a game to stay from being 0-16. Being an sjax owner, maybe I root for the Rams to keep losing so they play their hardest. Does this make sense to anyone ?

 

[Das Boot]

Reaggravates injury, out for rest of game.

Not what I hope happens, just a somewhat likely scenario.

Either way, if I had SJax, no way I'd play him until I saw how he does today.

Good luck to SJax, I hope he's not rushing back from this injury.

I wouldnt be surprised, Id be downright shocked. I might even fall down and have a seizure. Ive been seeing post like this all week, you guys are delusional. How many games did he hit 200 before he was injured and before the O line was as banged up as it is now? Lets see, the guy is coming off a TORN groin, running behind a TERRIBLE o line, and has an injured QB playing with him. Two hundred seems a bit modest, I'd say around 300 is more realistic

This is precisely (among other things) why Linehan should be fired. He is risking his franchise back for one week game vs. the Browns when there is a bye next week.

Are you a doctor?God forbid Linehan trying to put his best players on the field.

 

[L-pipe]

Don't be surprised if he reaggravates the injury and misses the rest of the season.

Well, in terms of fantasy points he's eclipsed 75% of the projections in this thread on the first drive alone.

I am not even hoping for a huge day, as I have posted before. I just want a nice solid day in which is stays healthy.

 

[Bobcat10]

He looks real good right now. Running hard, cutting hard, taking hits, good burst. Could get his 2nd td right now.

If his injury really had enough time to heal, SJax looks good.
