Top 30 RB's (1 Viewer)

[qimqam]

I dont have a big problem with Blount, i just like the other guys better. I dont think he will hit 80 rushing yards though, and since he doesnt cacth passes, he will need to score a TD to have any value this week.

A guy who is averaging 20+ touches a week over the past 4-5 games and 4.5yp/carry needs a TD to have value?We def don't see eye to eye.

In the last 5 weeks Blount has had 91 carries and 0 receptions. Which is 18 touches per week. He also averages less than 4 YPC on the road, which he is this week.

Those road games were vs top 10 run Ds... not Washington.

120 of his 306 yards and his only 2 TD's on the road came against Arizona. His other 4 road games he had 186 yards and 0 TD's. Arizona is not a top 10 run defense, they are even worse than the Redskins.

In his last 6 games Blount has had 2 bad Fantasy games averaging 13 carries and 50 yds per game for a respectable 3.9 per carry. This on the road against the #2 (ATL) and #6 (BAL) teams for least Fantasy RB points allowed.In the 4 other games he has averaged 22 carries for 99 yds and a TD per game That includes #2 (ATL) and *10 (SFO)This week he goes against the 25th worst team against Fantasy RBs Now you may step in #### and be right ... but statistically your reasoning is putrid (see MOP)

Statistically Blount hasnt done enough for either of us to have a good idea of what he is going to do. He has played 7 games in his career. What i do know is RB's typically play better at home, and Blount doesnt catch passes, if he wasnt playing aginst a bad run defense he wouldnt be on my list at all.One last time, i dont hate Blount, and he could go for 100+ yards and a TD, maybe 2, but i just think the other guys ahead of him have a better chance of putting up better numbers this week.

always nice to gloat over results oriented thinking.

He mentioned in another thread that CJ should still be outside of the top 5 RB's this week. I would just like to know which 5 RB's he thinks will score more than 24 points.

Thinking that any five RBs would outscore CJ this week is not the same thing as picking out 5 specific RBs to do it. (good work on calling CJ btw)

I understand, but you cant say i am crazy for having CJ as the #1 RB this week, then after he goes for 24 FF points say "I stand by my statement that CJ will not be a top 5 RB". It doesnt take a genius to figure out that at least one of the other 31 starting RB's is going to have a better game.

If having CJ as the #1 Rb was so crazy, then he should give me one player that will be the #1 then.

Let me ask this. If you could pick any two RB's in the league for your starting lineup this week, who would you pick, knowing what we know now about the Titans/Colts game?

I am curious to hear peoples opinion on the last question here.

Starks is on the road, His 2nd NFL game, 2nd game of any kind in 2 years? I like him too but does he have a better chance than Blount?Westbrook you said 80 90 but probably no td. You don't think Blount will do better than that

It sounds like Dixon is going to get more work than i orignally thought, so Westbrook should be down a few spots. Starks is in a much better offense and i expect the game to be higher scoring. I also think Starks is a better player.

Well, CJ is certainly one of them. It would be crazy to not cash in on that game. It was a very high scoring game.

ofc everyone would take a certain 24 fantasy points rather than the chance of slightly more. what do you expect ppl to bow down to you for predicting that one of the top backs in the league and a consensus top~5 play this week had a great game? i dont think anyone is surprised by it, but ppl were understandably weary of some of the negative signs in place. notably that the titans had been putrid for 2 consecutive weeks vs poor teams and were in a position where they could be playing catchup thus abandoning the run game.

to me, that is a bigger deterrent than some other guys, esp hillis and turner, whos only real negative is that they are on the road.

Relax fella, why so angry? Plyka said having CJ at #1 was crazy, and continued to stand by that after he had a 24 point game. I was just curious if anyone else thought that way.Wait, are you a Plyka alias?

 

[rizzler]

If I had a choice of 2 RBs to start this week from the whole bunch...

MJD and CJ2K

 

[reprisal]

CJ & Hillis

if plyka would eschew cj's 24 pts for 2 other rbs then he is dumb. somehow i doubt that was what he meant, but i didnt see his post.

Few Sunday morning adjustments.

Blount, Choice, Mendenhall, Moreno, BJGE, SJax move up.

AD, Tolbert, LT, Westbrook, Best move down.

Im sure the Blount owners will still hate his ranking and will certainly let me know about it if he has a good game today, which is possible.

Good luck to everyone this week.

I guess the Blount owners wont be showing up. I did miss big on Starks, i might have let me optomism get in the way. I will say that game didnt go at all how i thought.

1) What's your knock on Blount this week? I would say he's good for at least 80 and a TD.2) Move CJ down. The Titans appear to have given up. The last two weeks were touted as juicy match ups for CJ, and he flopped. 3)I would have Choice a bit higher, Hightower lower

Just like most of my entire season!! Incorrect!! My CJ2K prediction was really an emotional one. His week 12 and 13 perfomances knock me out of the playoffs.

Props to you for admitting you were wrong, that doesnt happen alot around here. Also looks like you were wrong about Hightower too. With your luck this week, people might want to pull Choice out of their lineup.

Is Bradshaw the play over Jacobs this week?

Definitely, unless Bradshaw fumbles early, he will get the majority of the touches.

No doubt. I've been terrible this year about choosing between starting 2 players. I've had Blount on my bench most of his weeks that he's done well this year. I will probably play JStew in his place next week. Notice to all, bench JStew.

I'll show up... You said he averages less than 4 YPC on the road... I said those were top 10 D's... 4.5 yesterday. But you were right... that he didn't have a good fantasy day.

I'll show up ... I said there was a chance that you would step in #### and that was correct. Blount didn't have a great fantasy game due to lack of touches but he ran well and as mentioned earlier had a nice 4 plus yards per carry.

And I believe one of the reasons GD outlined for putting Blount all the way down his FANTASY rankings was that he is not involved in the passing game and could easily be taken out of the game plan if they were to fall behind.His 15 touches got him a whopping 4.8 points, regardless of YPC.Good call on Blount, and Felix, GD.

Of course I showed up. I was surprised it took you so long to show up to toot your own horn. While he didn't do great, he and my team did enough to get me to the playoffs this week and we still haven't seen Bradshaw's stats. You win some, you lose some but it's okay to take a risk as long as you've got your behind covered elsewhere. Good luck to all !

 

[cvnpoka]

the blount lovers argument was that the skins had been getting gashed and blount had been running well.

go deeps argument was "well, i just dont think he will do well" and that in a 4 game sample size he had done pedestrian on the road, ignoring that 3 of those 4 games were vs very good run d's in san fran, balt and atl.

since blount did poorly its obv which methodology was correct amirite.

Oh come on. That was the exact reason he was concerned. Eat crow or don't. But don't claim you're here to take your lumps while you try to save face.Go deep - you had some good calls. You had some bad calls. I'm interested in seeing next week's edition.

This wasnt my argument, although it was true i didnt think he was going to do well. There was alot that went into my prediction of less than 80 yards rushing, 0 receptions and at best a 50% chance of a TD. The Blount owners want to point out his 4.5 YPC but failed to mention his fumble, and the fact Caddy was in the backfield the only time the Bucs had the ball at the goalline.

Either way, it was never my intention to bash Blount, i have no idea why people got so worked up about where i had him ranked.

 

[cvnpoka]

this is the pertinent info i could find from you itt.

21. Lagarette Blount (I wouldnt want to have to start him )

I dont think he will hit 80 rushing yards though, and since he doesnt cacth passes, he will need to score a TD to have any value this week.

why did you not think he would hit 80 rushing yards? not catching passes is indeed a detriment. to make it into the top 10-20 in any given week a rb almost always needs to score tds.

but most people would argue that Washington is unlikely to get very far ahead of TB. However, i actually think it is more likely than people might think.

well, i hope you hammered the skins +1 line then.

The Haynesworth suspension might help the Redskins defense, he was nothing but a distraction anyway.

this is a viable reason. hard to quantify. also, im pretty sure haynesworth was usually only in on passing downs which would decrease the effect of his absence on the running game.so it seems to me that your only reasons for blount to have a poor game were that the skins would build a big lead and that the absence of haynesworth would inspire the defense. fair enough. as i said before, i think the stronger argument was on the other side but im not very good at predicting winners or team inspiration.

I mentioned his less than 4 YPC on the road. I also said that he hasnt played enough for any of us to have a good idea of what he might do(This was ultimately my biggest concern). There were reports out that Morris was not happy with his short yardage work over the last few weeks.(I will admit i thought this just might be a motivational tactic, but Morris had Caddy out there during the Bucs only goalline opportunity.)The only thing his supporters had to go on was a macthup against a bad defense, which i certainly took into account, thats why i had him ranked as high as i did. When it came down to it, i didnt trust him in a game that i thought would be a close low scoring game.
