When are the Beasts at RB going to show up? (1 Viewer)

[Ministry of Pain]

When are LJ and LT going to have one of those days that makes owners cringe that don't own them? Ronnie Brown has been a nice story and all but the #1RB in FF??? Time for the Kings to take their crowns back today...at least for a week. SD and KC have great match ups, LT has huge games against Oak, and Larry Johnson will be looking at CInci with eyes wide today.

Time to get back to reality.

I hope you are right MOP.

Good luck today!

I hope you are right MOP.Good luck today!

Thanks, guess we're playing in the Hyper League? I have so many teams on bye weeks I hadn't paid attention other than to put in a line up. Luck? I need a miracle bigger than Jesus.

 

[Burning Sensation]

Not so worried about LT, but if LJ doesnt go for at least 100 and a TD, i would be near ready to give up on him.

P.S. Isn't LT the #2 RB in most fantasy leagues this year?

 

[Sabertooth]

Brian Westbrook as well. It's time for the rightful owners to reclaim the top spots.

 

[GECKO]

I like ADP's chances too

 

[CMU37484]

Brian Westbrook as well. It's time for the rightful owners to reclaim the top spots.

Let's not lump Westy into this thread. He doesn't deserve it as nothing is wrong with him at all. When he's on the field, he's a stud, always has been.As for LJ, I agree, if he can't get at least 100 and a score, it's time to stick a fork in him.I traded for LJ two weeks ago and Westbrook last week. This is the week it'll all pay off.

 

[Garts]

Does McGahee actually score this week?

 

[thecardiackid]

SA on SNF - good for at least 2, right?

 

[jafo]

ADP is a beast.

 

[Max Power]

just happened...go LT

 

[The Man with the Plan]

200+ yards and 4 TDs from LT. I'd say that's pretty good.

 

[Robbie Cooper]

200+ yards and 4 TDs from LT. I'd say that's pretty good.

And I'd still rather have ADP, and think his performance today was a notch above LTs. And that's saying something.

 

[OU#1]

200+ yards and 4 TDs from LT. I'd say that's pretty good.

I'd rather have both....oh wait I do!

 

[Arnold. S]

got a feeling about either SAlexander or Bush

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

no slight at all to LT2, but Peterson's performance will go down as one of the top 3 performances in NFL history.

 

[sparkky]

there was a rare LJ sighting today for a change.

 

[hankd]

Why is Chester Taylor still getting more carries than Peterson? Seriously...

 

[yinzer]

Nice call MoP

As well as the ppl who called ADP, McGahee getting a rushing TD, and LJ going for 100 and 1 (shoulda been 2-3)

Positive Note: I started ADP - 44.5 pts

Negative Note: My opponent started LT - 48.4

I haven't added up all our totals, I know its close, and I still got B-Jacobs, but dangit, I just can't win

If it keeps ADP fresh to keep doing what he's doing how can anyone complain. Seriously...

What's the point of "fresh" if you lose the game? At one point, it was well into the 2nd half and it was tied 14-14. At that point AP, had touched the ball only twice. On his 3rd touch, he ran it in from 71 yds out. He then ran it in from 35 yds out not long after. And they sill almost lost. There's keeping your player fresh and there's winning games. When Minn starts blowing out team, then you keep him fresh. Otherwise, you put him on the field to win the game and give him a breather with Taylor when you need it. Doesn't take a genius to figure that out. I honestly wonder if Childress realizes what he has on his team.

His fumble into the endzone kept it from being a stellar day.

My friends and I were talking about this situation. He came up with the thought that maybe the VIkes are trying to showcase Chester a little more since the trade deadline is on Tuesday??Just a thought.

I highly doubt it. IMO the reason Taylor is getting lots of carries is because rookie RBs often break down during the season - they're just not used to the pounding. Taylor keeps him fresh and will help during the stretch run.

Hated Childress when he was here in Philly, and he still looks stubborn as hell in Minny. IMO, he's gotta be the worst coach in the NFL, CFL, and HFFL.You can keep ADP fresh without giving Taylor 22 carries.

What's the point of "fresh" if you lose the game? Last I checked the Vikes beat the Bears today. At one point, it was well into the 2nd half and it was tied 14-14. At that point AP, had touched the ball only twice (for -2 yards, at that same time Chester only had 3 carries for 8 yards in the 2nd half). On his 3rd touch, he ran it in from 71 yds out. He then ran it in from 35 yds out not long after. Then Childress had obviously done the right thing by tiring the opposition D down with Chester before unleashing a fresh ADP on them. And they still almost lost. But they didn't lose - they won away from home in fact. There's keeping your player fresh and there's winning games. They did both today. When Minn starts blowing out team, then you keep him fresh. Or you could run him into the ground as a rookie and he can become the next Caddy. Otherwise, you put him on the field to win the game and give him a breather with Taylor when you need it. Doesn't take a genius to figure that out. Also doesn't take a genius to figure out Peterson was therefore making some of those awesome runs against a tiring D. I honestly wonder if Childress realizes what he has on his team. I'm not saying that many of Childress's decisions shouldn't be questioned, but what he's being paid to coach isn't fantasy. They won the game and got 224 yards from a star rookie back. I'd say that's a fairly decent job.

I would agree that keeping him fresh is the way to go until he gets used to the rigors of the NFL. HOWEVER, keep him fresh by taking him off of the kick return duties. I'd much rather see him get an extra 5 or 6 carries a game by taking away those kick off runs.

OUch, didn't need to hear about that.

I think it still depends on your league. If it's a redraft, I stay with LT. Keeper or Dynasty? AD.Circumstances being what they were in my 3 player keeper league (grossly underperforming squad), I offered up LT2 to the AD owner last week. With some throw-ins on both sides the deal was made and finalized on Friday. No way he makes that deal today. AD is the future face of the NFL.

ya, he had the ball punched out from behind at about the 2 as he was clearly going to score. the ball went out the back of the endzone for a touchback.

That was before he finally scored a TD. And before that he got tackled for a loss on 1st & goal at the 2 and then they threw to Gonzo on second down. At this point I began to believe that LJ would not score a TD for the rest of his life.

 

[Koya]

My friend was commenting on this fact during the beginning of yesterday's game. Then boom - Peterson blew up.

Could have easily been a 4-TD day for LJ. Here are his three missed opportunities:

2-1-CIN1 (1:39) L.Johnson left end to CIN 3 for -2 yards (M.Williams, M.Myers).

2-15-CIN35 (11:14) L.Johnson up the middle to CIN 1 for 34 yards (D.O'Neal). FUMBLES (D.O'Neal), ball out of bounds in End Zone, Touchback.

3-10-CIN11 13) (Shotgun) D.Huard pass short middle to L.Johnson to CIN 2 for 9 yards (H.Jones).4-1-CIN2 05) D.Rayner 20 yard field goal is GOOD, Center-J.Darche, Holder-D.Colquitt.
