Uggh, what a nigthmare (1 Viewer)

[Badm]

I totally got hosed last week with the SJax 1 carry start. Cost me a win and the info this week is all over the place. Darby was announced the starter early in the week but now Pittman appears to be playing as well. I dont think Gado will do much but between Pittman and Darby, who will get the bulk? I just found this article and it is confuses the situation even worse.

Pittman’s emergence and availability comes as a bit more of a surprise. Haslett all but ruled him out after he injured his hamstring against the Cardinals last week.

But early in the week Pittman told Haslett that he was going to try to play this week. Haslett made the same deal with Pittman that he did with Jackson.

Sure enough, Pittman was on the field Friday afternoon and completed the workout.

“I don’t think I surprised anyone,” Pittman said. “I’m a guy who when I’m walking, I’m running. So I will go out there and give it all I can. No. That’s fine. I stayed on my treatment on that and the hamstring. Just keeping my body in shape and getting ready to go out there and roll this week.”

Pittman says he doesn’t expect to be limited in any way by the injury but it’s probably realistic to expect his touches to be more limited than Darby or Gado.

“I wouldn’t put myself out there if I couldn’t do it all,” Pittman said. “I think I can go.”

FBG Fri Update:

RB Antonio Pittman (STL) partially participated in Friday's practice and is officially questionable to play in Week 10. However, Pittman is expected to start this weekend. "He's ready to go," said HC Jim Haslett. "He's fine. It surprised me how fast he came back. He told me he was going to ready to go all week, and I said, 'You have to go out and practice on Friday,' and he did it."

I agree this is a mess

So leaving aside this week, would Pittman still be the handcuff for the rest of the year?

Bulger will get the bulk of carries,he'll be running for his life.

(Rams have given up 26 sacks this season,Jets have 29 on defense)

I am interested in this as well. I am assuming its Pittman. I have Jackson and both are available but I'm not gonna use any of them this week as it appears to be an absolute mess.Hoping if Jackson is out for any longer that by next week Pittman is healthier and carrying the load.

How is this a nightmare? Are you seriously expecting 200/3 out of the St. Louis running backs?

Some of us are in highly competitive, big $ leagues. Nobody is left on the waiver wire.As a consequence, I need to plug in the starter for St. Louis, or whoever has the best chance at carries - is it Darby or Pittman?Am I expecting big production? No. Do I need to maximize my points? Of course.So this thread has value for some of us. Do you understand now?

Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays. Lighten up, Francis. It's not my fault you drafted 0 RB depth.P.S. Please put your high horse draft team in your sig so I can see what a real league is like.

I'm in a competitive 20 teamer, Darby and Pittman are already gone lol, I was HOPING Gado might get a few touches. I'm actually the Jackson owner, and the other guys vultured all around Pittman and Darby. I'm starting Savage out of KC

Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays. Lighten up, Francis. It's not my fault you drafted 0 RB depth.P.S. Please put your high horse draft team in your sig so I can see what a real league is like.

The OP started a thread which seeks information or a response to a legitimate question. Your wise ### answer was only that. Now you are two for two in wise ### responses.I have S. Jackson, Darby & Pittman. So I actually have the depth. Your assumption about my depth is wrong. So, as you can now see, I would like to know what the deal is in St. Louis.

And I will never put any of my 12 teams in my sig. That is for the braggarts and the gloryhounds. But if you are serious, I'll send a PM to you.

I just thought it amusing that he called the situation a 'nightmare.' That is all. Your 'holier than thou' attitude brought on the rest.

Where do you get this from? Do you have anything to back this up?

Darby...

Fri, Nov 7 Coach Jim Haslett confirmed that Darby will start at running back Sunday against the Jets with Steven Jackson out, the St. Louis Post Dispatch reports.

 

[awesomeness]

I think Darby could surprise. I'd take Darby.

 

[brednbuddah]

Darby may have a tough time tomorrow. Jets are pretty good against the run (Jenkins is a beast).

 

[Mr. Peterson]

FBG Fri Update:RB Antonio Pittman (STL) partially participated in Friday's practice and is officially questionable to play in Week 10. However, Pittman is expected to start this weekend. "He's ready to go," said HC Jim Haslett. "He's fine. It surprised me how fast he came back. He told me he was going to ready to go all week, and I said, 'You have to go out and practice on Friday,' and he did it." I agree this is a mess

I keep going back to this statement and think I'm gonna wait till sunday morning to decide.

This is the statement that really threw me. Its not like Pittman didn't perform well when he played. If he was ready to play, why wouldn't he start over Darby. who has 2 nfl carries in his carrer? I dont get it. I hope Pittman is inactive on Sunday to clear things up. From what I have seen on the Rams message boards, its all Darby talk....

He's gonna need a wishing well to be successful running on the Jets.

Maybe so but in PPR leagues he could rack up some points as Darby is pretty decent receiving out of the backfield. I'm not putting much stock the talk about Gado getting in the mix. He'll get a few carries but he just signed and does not know the offense while at least Darby on been on the practice squad a few weeks. Before Pittman re-emerged I felt Darby made a solid RB2 this week in PPR leagues. Not so sure know with Pittman maybe being in the mix but I'd absolutely start Darby if I had to start one of them and my case I do so I'm starting Darby.
