Storm Johnson dynasty buy? (2 Viewers)

the best part of this is the coaching staff drafted Storm Johnson, the two RB's in front of him have sucked and Bortles knows him.
strong
Footballguy
no kidding. best part was when that one guy was "i'm so sorry for bringing john brown into this convo bc now we're WAY off topic but blah blah blah john brown john brown toby gerhart john brown blah blah."
anyway. everyone's been ignoring him and focusing on the denver bronco backfield kerfuffle. less talented RBs on teams struggling to run the ball have come in and had really impressive FF seasons.
i'm ready for the storm. got my windows boarded up and flashlights ready.

Storm has value at least by virtue of the opportunity to get significant snaps at running back, especially this year. But if he can't do much better than Gerhart, Storm won't help your fantasy team too much; I wouldn't call it likely that he will.
Probably the UCF college announcer got it right in labeling Storm a non-special guy. Either way, Storm is worth rostering for his opportunity, but I wouldn't give up a whole lot to get him.

Catchy name. "Storm is brewing" 
A lot of excitement for a committee back on the team everyone is scrambling to start their defenses against as their top waiver prize.

I would think you'd need to be pretty desperate. I'm certainly curious to see his role and how he does but no chance I start him unless I have no other option.

Footballguy
yep starting him in both leagues out of sheer desperation. Id much rather start him than the Denver backfield

This is where I am at as well. Have both Hillman and CJ, but not sure which one of them is the better start, maybe neither it could be Thompson, who knows? Thinking of dropping one of them and riding the Storm out this weekend.

The current regime drafted Storm Johnson in the sixth round, they also drafted Dennard Robinson in the fourth round and they signed Toby Gerhart in the earliest part of free agency to a decent contract.Stealthycat said:
I'll be rooting for Johnson now, but not sure anything above is a reason to be excited about him - he's still a tremendous longshot.

Would you drop B Pierce for Storm ?
On a team where I drafted Peterson, Bernard, and Mathews as my top 3 rbs, yeah... I might. It's between him and Hyde, Taliaferro, and Donald Brown for my RB2. The prospect of Storm getting 10 - 15 touches might just be enough to make it worth it for me.
There was a little bit of coach speak I think is worth listening to this week. Bradley talked Storm up a bit, the OC mentioned that they would prefer to have a 2 back RBBC rather than 4, and Gerhart went backwards on the practice reports this week (Full on Wed, DNP on Thursday). Taking all of that, I think there is a shot that Storm is given an opportunity this weekend to be the lead back. Granted, I'm not expecting much, but if he could find his way to 12 or so carries, 3 or 4 catches, and 60 or so total yards.... I'll take it. I guess I qualify as desperate however.

Time to change the title imo. Storm Johnson Redraft Savior.

Storm is a redraft buy for sure. Dynasty, I don't think so. Maybe he turns out better than I expect but I just don't think he has much sustainability. Jax could easily be drafting a RB early next year, 1st 3 rounds, and the class is extremely talented. He may have enough to move Gerhart out if the way or contribute this year but beyond that I don't think there's much more to him.

Thank you.
I cut Gerhart and picked up Storm based on this news. It might be a little short-sighted, but I don't know where or when the upside will come from with Gerhart at this point, so I'd rather just roll the dice with Johnson.

I may be in a ridiculous 20-team league I'm in. Picked him up during waivers this week.
Bronco Billy

Yes, that's much more endearing and easy to use than his given name. And so much more fun, too. Thanks Boomer.
I don't have a choice. I've got to roll with him in my flex in a ppr league over my other two turds--SJax & Torrey Smith. I just hope they give him a chance to show them what they have by giving him at least 15 carries and some catches out of the backfield. It probably won't happen because the coaching staff seems content to just rotate RB's in and out of the game.

I'm irrationally one of his biggest supporters but I am not starting him this week ... right now I've got some injuries/byes and am like 80% sure I'm starting Torrey Terp in the flex over Storm in .5 ppr ... unless someone can talk me out of that

probably not, but considering that my options at RB2 now are Hillman, McKinnon, Chris Johnson, and Hyde, there's a chance.LOCO said:

I'm starting Storm over Hillman, CJ Anderson, Bush, Jennings and Moreno.
how's jamaal charles on bye, bush hurt and bad, ball hurt and bad.... i might be rolling with hillman and storm this weekend.... these two probably still beat the 2013 week 1 production i got from Lamar Miller and David Wilson (1 point combined i believe)
with all of the storm love (based off 4 carries and a cool name right?)... is there just no way denard robinson serves as lead back?

I was just offered Terrence Williams and Bobby Rainey for storm Johnson in Odell Beckham Junior (redraft)
I got admitted looks enticing to get Terrence Williams for since like two guys I literally just picked up a couple of days ago, however I am desperately hurting at running back.

Well Have Reggie Bush for Rb2 and he is out so im desperate. Im starting Storm I think this is the week to play him he will break out then be huge waiver wire. Get him now if you are scared to start him this week at least guys.

Any input on this? The gambler says stick with the Storm but my head days grab T. Williams, (whom I was high on pre draft) for two guys I just picked up a few days ago.

Beckham is greater than or equal to Terrence Williams. Williams numbers are inflated by TD rate is not sustainable. No to trade IMO.
