Yeah that is kindof where I was going with that, I just think now the people that are serious and pay attention will all start to do this now. No sense in wasting a pick from rounds 1-4ish on a Running back where there are good odds they are going to miss significant time. Just wonder how to adjust the zero RB strategy if everyone is doing it
I had an opportunity to go after Asiata, I decided to go with Washington instead. Washington's situation may be longer lasting. What I don't like about the MIN situation is that even AP didn't have any room to run. He was struggling and I don't think it was necessarily father time catching up with him. So now there are 2 guys that we aren't sure of how their shares are going to be divided, running in an offense that hasn't been very productive on the ground yet this year. Even if AP is out a while, I'm not sure how excited I would be to have either of these guys.
My first 4 picks were David Johnson, Mike Evans, CJ Anderson & Matt Forte... Will it work out for 15 weeks? I don't know but its worked out a lot better than the guy who started his draft: Gronk, Keenan Allen, Cobb, manny Sanders.
I believe there are filters already but I don't want to make it editable or everyone is going to be filtering by what they want and it'll be pure chaos. I can make a copy of the tab and filter it by what you'd like.
This is not an insignificant trend in my view re: Ferguson.
Well yeah - I'd rather own Washington... have you been to his thread? I'm driving that bandwagon...
Months? Or weeks?
months and very possibly the season. IMO e was showing signs of falling off the cliff before this. I think we have seen the last of AP as we knew him
I just posted there.
People are off him because of his preseason but I liked what I saw from him vs. DEN or at least the way he was utilized as it pertains to PPR. Plus, Moncrief is done for 4-6 weeks which may be conducive to him receiving even more work in the passing game. He had two catch and runs last week where it looked like he was born to make the first defender miss. I'll likely be uploading a video sooner than later.
I wouldn't. Given the OL blocking (which has been horrendous) neither back may do much in FF. According to FootballOutsiders, MIN is the worst run blocking OL in the league right now.
I'm trying like hell to convince the Forte owner to trade me for him so I don't have to. Forte can't keep up this pace, can he?
It would be cool if there was a way I could follow new topics you create so I can see when these videos get uploaded
I didn't see his week 1 performance but his totals for the Bills game were misleading. He was bottled up for most of the game. I still don't believe he scored that 1st TD, but it was the pass game that got the ball down the field. When they got close they gave it to Forte, but I wouldn't expect that to be a trend. He didn't have much success running until the Bills knew they were going to run (figure that one out). Otherwise he was contained throughout the day for the most part. Like I said, not sure how he did against the Bengals but didn't see anything that light the world on fire in week 2.
To late lol. I may regret it but even if forte goes down I just don't think Powell is very good. Asiata isn't either don't get me wrong but in standard i see more red zone chances for the purple sloth.
He's on pace for 462 touches which is almost certainly unsustainable.
I post links to the vids in this thread. It'll be bumped up sometime today. Plus, here's a link to the channel.
That's a tough one. I still think Booker is one of the premiere handcuffs right now. If I'm a CJA owner, getting him on my roster would be my top priority.
Oracle, did you know this would happen? The signing makes sense from an NFL depth standpoint.
I won't tell anybody who to pick up as it could go either way.
The other teams were stacking the box with Peterson. That won't happen with McKinnon which should open up the run game now that Bradford has opened up the passing game. Looking at 2014 may not tell you much as McKinnon was a rookie learning the position then since he was a QB in college and he really didn't do much until the very end of the season. Washington still has Zenner in front of him and a very capable Riddick hanging around. I'll take McKinnon over Washington.
So if they were stacking the box against the Vikings this year, you don't think they were in 2015 when AP averaged 4.5 YPC and had 1485 yards & 11 TDs? I don't see much that has changed offensively that would allow them to key on him this year and unable to last year. I have a hard time buying that he is simply the victim of a defense keying on him. After all, Bradford isn't much of an upgrade, if one at all, over Bridgewater in terms of NFL ability (not FF).
I agree with the first bolded part. Bradford has shown that he can be effective leading this kind of offense. Granted, it's been one week and teams will get more looks at the tape and so forth as MIN's game plan becomes more apparent with Bradford at the helm. Regardless, I think the running game may offer more production with an arm people will actually have to fear.
I believe they can only designate one person a year for this, so I suppose it's at least 8 weeks, which alright; would you rather have a guy for 4 weeks maybe or guaranteed at least 8 weeks?
Where are you getting a month? All reports are saying recovery time for meniscus surgery is 3-4 months. Outside of a possible return in the last couple weeks of the season/playoffs (ie, beyond fantasy usefulness), my guess is we've seen the last of both Abdullah *and* Peterson for the year.
I did not see that news update
Meniscectomy takes about 4 weeks. Meniscus repair would take 4 months. The initial report I read said 4 weeks, which I figured he was getting it removed. Obviously wrong.
Will Caroll on twitter said the surgery he was having was complex and the return was difficult and lengthy. It's something called a bucket handle tear...
Yes I'm very familiar with the terminology, injury, etc. It's what I get paid to do. Many bucket handles are removed. The meniscus has a very poor blood supply so the success of repairs is actually very minimal, hense the long recovery time. He won't be able to bear weight on his knee for at least 4 weeks...
Everything I have seen says AP is out for the year (slight chance to make it back for real football playoffs). Plus they named McKinnon the starter for this week. Given that I would gamble on McKinnon.
