Week 8: I'm starting Mike James vs Carolina Thread! (1 Viewer)

[andyk803]

Starting him as my RB2 in my ppr league

all aboard the fail boat? who's joining me?

 

[gagull]

Yes, but not too excited about it. Only allowed to carry 3 RBs on our roster and Forte is on a bye,

 

[RenegadeGM]

I'm in. Hoping he scores more fantasy points than Mike James the basketball player.

 

[Fariq]

This week? I started him last week!

My only RBs have been James, Michael, Hillman and Stepfan Taylor after trading DeMarco Murray a few weeks ago. (16-team league)

Why the heck did you trade Murray if that core is what out were trotting out there. Yuck.

 

[Sabertooth]

I am thinking of starting him over Kendall Hunter

 

[C-Bound]

Yep, over Spiller.

 

[lod01]

Picked him up and starting him so all of you are screwed. Sorry about that.

 

[andyk803]

Lol

 

[ponchsox]

Didn't Mike James used to play for the Celtics?

 

[Slapdash]

Starting him over Spiller and Powell due to CJ2K bye on my good team.

Benching him for Stacy, MJD, and Bush on my ####y team.

 

[tdhartis]

Starting him at my RB2 since he's the only option I have, so over no one.

 

[LordHusker]

He's a starting RB. 'Nuff said. Those are scarce in larger leagues. Besides, you never know, kids. Look at all the fools who were certain Nick Foles would put up huge numbers last week and benched all sorts of proven starting QBs for him. James could go off. This is fantasy football.

 

[Gottabesweet]

CHOOO CHOOO can't go worse than the David Wilson thread.

I am tanking. I took over a middling team in January 2013.

I traded Aaron Hernandez about a month before his arrest. I traded Murray for multiple draft picks.

My team is 1-4-2 and I like that.

 

[fbelange]

I grabbed him with the #9 priority.

Starting him over Joqie, Helu, Randle .....not saying much but HERE WE GOOOO

Mike James to save the season. He just needs a red cape

 

[Raiderfan32904]

This has all sorts of fail written all over it.

 

[Isotopes]

I am starting him over Lamar Miller. Wasn't really a tough choice.

fingerscrossed

 

[steveski]

Starting CAR D with confidence!

 

[KCitons]

Pfff. I'm starting Brian Leonard as my RB1. Wish I had the luxury of starting James.

 

[gadkins]

Deciding between Ridley and James. Leaning towards Ridley.

 

[KellysHeroes]

out of desperation, yes

 

[Isotopes]

Deciding between Ridley and James. Leaning towards Ridley.

I think Ridley is the better play.

 

[SameSongNDance]

I have a feeling were going to see a lot of "Why is Brian Leonard getting touches?" posts.

 

[Ted Mullins]

In, I'm stuck with him too. TBH I don't expect anything beyond ~15 touches for 50-60 yards. I have seen people saying he is strong on 3rd downs, hoping he gets that work over Leonard.

50-60 yards would be better than I've been getting from Spiller

Benching him for MJD in my other league is one I'm on the fence with.

Lol, I am in the same boat...starting him over Spiller and Lamar Miller. I loved my team post draft...now I am reduced to starting Mike James vs a really good run D.

 

[Max Power]

Over McGahee, its worth the risk for the potential reward. :cheers:

 

[Raiderfan32904]

:confetti:

 

[fbelange]

Starting him over Gio Bernard. Boom or bust tonight, folks

 

[C-Bound]

"I'm Mike James, #####!"

 

[C-Bound]

Starting him over Gio Bernard.

This one screams...huh??

 

[turkishkamel]

Deciding between Stacy, James, and MJD in my flex

 

[Mene]

He's in over J.Bell, L.Miller... I'm just hoping for 10 points in ppr.

Man, what a statement that is in regards to how much of a disappointment L.Miller has been.

 

[bushdocda]

I wish.

 

[bb7278]

We all know where this ends up....................

 

[thriftyrocker]

Starting Brian Leonard in one league. Rock bottom. Didn't want to blow priority on James. Hoping for Mike Cox redux.

 

[mquinnjr]

I'm in.

It's him or Lamar Miller.

FML

 

[Slapdash]

We all know where this ends up....................

I can just feel the regret we will all have later tonight.

 

[We Tigers]

I picked him up in one league where I'm heavily invested in week 8 byes, so he's a go. I'm expecting 65-70 total yards and will be delighted if he can give me more than that.

 

[tdhartis]

We all know where this ends up....................

In my case, anything is better than zero.

Seriously though, all he needs is a couple of pure-luck opportunities at the goal line and we're set.

 

[doyler]

As my flex over...J.Bell, Heath, and J.Reed. Am I crazy?

 

[Raiderfan32904]

[KCitons]

I'm kinda surprised by some of the names that people are throwing out. You guys do realize that the Panthers have a top 5 defense against the run? And while Doug Martin is out, the Bucs offensive line is still there.

Or some goal line stands to break your heart. I'm looking at you Kalil Bell.

 

[The Duff Man]

It is him or Hillis :(

 

[Lionz will turn it around!]

It is him or Hillis :(

Him, Hillis or Stacy....I'm shredded with week 8 bye's so I need one to roll with PThomas...ouch!!!

 

[travdogg]

Starting CAR D with confidence!

Same here!

Fresh legs and an opportunity.....

I am starting him but not expecting too much. Hopefully, he catches 3-4 balls out of the backfield and gets 15 carries......has to be better than the numbers Spiller and Lamar Miller have been giving me at the flex spot.

 

[Raider Nation]

IN!

Not exactly going on out a huge limb though... starting him over Ivory, Powell and Pierre.

The Jets don't have a great matchup, so Thomas is likely the only one who could burn me. But who knows who is going to get the carries for the Saints on a week-to-week basis. At least James is guaranteed to get work, even if it's a Trent-like 19 for 41 stat line. He also should be the option if by some miracle they happen to approach the goal line.
