I don't disagree, and apologies for not being clear on that -- but a third stringer at one of the LB spots could soften them up a little, and Townsend possibly being out is not the best thing in the world either. If Huard and the passing game can be modestly efficient, I think Johnson has a bigger day than most expect. Perhaps substantially.
I have the same RB scenario - LJ, Rudi, Tatum, and Bush in a non-PPR league. I've been contemplating starting Rudi and Tatum...and without giving away pay stuff, there is evidence at FBG that this would not be a bad play. EDIT TO ADD: When the the FBG put out this evidence, which is objective analysis, would any of them consider benching LJ?But then I am reminded of a time three years ago when LT had an "awful" matchup and I benched him. He wound up getting like 200 yards and 4 TDs or something ridiculous like that. I lost that week and I also let the highest score at any position for the year sit on the bench.
Could be. Other than this preseason, when Arnold Harrison looked pretty good, we really have no idea how he will perform although I think it is safe to say he is NOT Joey Porter.As for Townsend, he might be the better cover guy but McFadden is not bad. I don't think you will see much of a dropoff and he could be an improvement. He is faster, taller and hits harder. If McFadden is covering Floyd last week on the TD pass in the endzone, it is likely an incomplete pass.
Bumping my own post, but most of the things we all discussed played themsleves out. There is a lot to worry about with LJ even if talent is not one of them He is still a guy you should struggle with ever benching but as I said nothing is absolute!
His first bad game of the year in PPR leagues, despite playing for a crappy team. No cause for concern... yet.
You're right. If you had picks 1.01, 1.02 and 1.07 this year, you might have cause to address it.
Dynasty leagueYou're right. If you had picks 1.01, 1.02 and 1.07 this year, you might have cause to address it.
Same here. . .
I'm not as worried about their D as I am about them scoring 30 points in the first half, and killing LJs game as a runner. Oh Sweet Lord, why didn't I pick LT #1 overall? Because I didn't want to OVERTHINK the pick, damn it.
LOFL -- a league full of morons
Good call here. It's like.... this is exactly what happened, only the exact opposite.
I know scoring perameters differ league to league, but in mine the Chicago def has more than double the points of LJ (who is ranked #7).
Just out of curiousity, how did all of you guys get LJ AND Rudi? Even in a 10 team league starting 1 RB, I would expect Rudi to be a first round pick. MAYBE early second in a smaller league - but if you have LJ I'm assuming you had most likely one of the top 3 picks. Even in my tiny 8 team league with weird starting rosters (and accordingly a few questionably early picks), he went with the #9 pick.Did all of you guys just manage him as a keeper?
I was THRILLED to have LT with the #2 pick in one league and the #3 pick in another. F'ing Herm. (Losing Roaf and Richardson certainly didn't help either, and now with Green out)
In my league, the Chicago D is currently #4 overall. So it's not LJ they're ahead of, but rather everyone BUT LT2, McNabb, and Holt.Still, ahead of LJ at RB are LT2, Westy and Stephen Jackson only, and LJ has had his BYE week. Pretending that LJ is worse than he is is getting old. There are precious few players that I would trade or bench LJ for.
With your lineup? he is your only fulltime running back. good luck.
I over thunk it, sometimes depth doesn't pay off.
So, just a moron who set the scoring system?I'm glad some people sit guys like this.
