Chris Johnson has a tough first half of the season then gravy in the second. Benching him now in my ppr league for Joique Bell and will see him after he plays houston, sf, seattle etc. No swing or short passes sunday either which is murder in ppr.

not really pushing the panic button on anyone just yet...but, I will say Foster looks slow..Tate is here to stay. It looks like a timeshare, at least to begin the season..but I don't see Foster pulling out of this nosedive..looks like Priest Holmes/LJ back in the day, when LJ finally got the lead role and never looked back. it has that same sort of feeling with Foster/Tate..

Look at the posting times. He was bad for the first half or so, as if he did not play football for over 6month. Oh wait.

I think this is the play.
The former 2,000 yard back, still in his prime, starting behind the renovated line with studly new additions, coming off a disappointing week one against the LeBeau Steelers...vs. the backup for the Lions.
Bell totally the way to go here.

ugh...that's a tough opponent to get healthy against. They are really tough vs. the run....they shut Seattle down for the most part.

He was seeing double teams that whole game. I agree, you wonder about his production going forward.

LOL the way you state that makes it way more enticing for the CJ owner but how do we know what you stated is fact. Back up runningback he may be but he will see tons of gl touches and over 10 touches per game with a bunch of catches. Bush is fragile and if he goes down Bell is legit rb1. Cj was crap last week and the whole TEN offense looks like garbage. I love Bell @ ari and I could see 50 rushing 50 rec 6 catches and a td from bell this week, coming from a Guy that is a LIONS watcher as I live near DETROIT. I won't say fan because never have I been a LIONS fan but a LIONS watcher.

I heard he was not focused. I think his Grandfather or step goin on that murder spree could have messed with his head. He may need to sit down and re focus and get his head right. Its week , if we go by week 1 then Calvin/Dez/Roddy are total useless clowns and need to be dropped right away. Spiller/Lynch/Mjd/Trich,CJ,Morris are all bums to and must be dropped... Gimme a break this is FUNNY stuff

I'm panicking a little on Trent Richardson. I bought into the hype and drafted him while McCoy and Rice were both on the board. I expected him to be on the field a lot more in passing situations to help with his low rushing output but it just didn't happen. I opened my draft with Richardson and Dez and each of them scored the lowest of my starters.
With Dez, I'm not as nervous about his output as I am the lack of targets. Throw it up to him and let him make a play!

I guess my question is, what changed in the span of 3 hours and 43 minutes that made you flip on TRich? Campbell?

A lot of Britt here. Not sure you can really push the panic button on a guy who should've been drafted in the late rounds to begin with. Expectation should've been low.
I'm the Spiller owner and while I'm not going to push panic just yet, my finger is on the button. Jackson's role in the Bills offense cannot be ignored. Through two games, they've split carries as 57% Spiller, 43% Jackson. The carries are one thing, but Spiller only has one more reception on Jackson thus far (9 for Spiller, 8 for Jackson). Jackson's use in the passing game is what frustrates me the most because it takes away from Spiller's value tremendously.

Lol, I didn't realize there was so much lag in between posts. I thought this thread was moving rather fluidly.
That makes a bit more sense now, although I still consider TRich a buy-low instead of a sell-low(ish).

He only has 9 catches so far this season OH NO. He is only on pace for 250 carries and 72 catches. Good god he sucks. Seriously what the hell is wrong with you people???

I think part of it was the footballguys cheesed Britt up so much, that people were starting to expect Top 5 production from a guy drafted as the 40th wr off the board. It still early and he had some tough match ups to start.. But as long as Jake the snake is the qb its gonna be tough to expect much. If your in a deep enough league where you can stash him, maybe you get lucky and Locker gets bench and Ryan the gunslinger comes in and force feeds him the ball. But Idk if your ever gonna feel comfortable with him in your lineup, so most likely you will miss the 8 catch 180 2td game

Spiller doesn't have any TDs yet, which is likely variance. Outside of that he's on pace for over 1K on the ground and 70+ catches. WTF were you guys expecting?
David Wilson is a legit redraft "do I press the panic button" player. CJ Spiller not so freaking much.

I agree, there's no reason the panic on Spiller but the lack of TDs might have less to do with variance and more to do with how BUF is utilizing FJax in the RZ. I don't have any stats to back this up yet (aside from FJax's TD last week) but it's painfully obvious that Spiller's ceiling will be capped for as long as FJax remains healthy.

Britt - and I did draft him as a WR3 with upside - but with that offense his upside is lower than waiver wire fodder that can hit and miss as much as he will. As for more conventional players that panic time is approaching, I'd have to say Mark Ingram - who was drafted as a rb3 with rb2 upside and is playing like an rb267. Injury wise Ray Rice and Sean Weatherspoon concern me. Not quite panic....but a little unsettling.

If a good offer came my way for Rich, it would need to have a decent RB in it since like many other Rich is either your RB1 or 2, and like me your RB depth chart has been hit by injury. But seriously, they are 29th in the league for rushing yards; the offense is made of poop. I'm holding out hope that Gordon can spark the offense but if next week is another stinker the button is going to start flashing.
About Britt. I traded him this offseason straight up for Ryan Williams, back when I thought Williams would beat out Beannie Wells so before FA. Spent the off season kicking myself because once the Cards signed Mendenhall I felt I pretty much gave Britt away. Not so much anymore and the best thing about this trade is while I know Williams belongs on my bench if not on off my roster Britt would have messed with my head and been in my starting lineup far to often.
Last thing on Britt. What is wrong with the Titans coaching staff? I read Jim Wyatt reference several times this off-season that while Britt looks better Kendall Wright was the best WR on the team. The same Kendall Wright who played 17 snaps in week one and can't get on the field over Britt or Nate Washington and is not even always the #3WR as that is sometimes manned by Damian Williams. Good coaching.
Player whose opportunity continues to make him a viable play but whose performance I am close to panic over is Vincent Brown. Just does not look like he can get open. He keeps getting served a golden opportunity and but he's obviously no Eddie Royal. I would not cut him or anything but quickly reached an unplayable until proven otherwise label.
You folks giving up on TRICH, that's just plain silly.

If I had Wilson, I'd be panicking.
If I had Ridley, I'd be panicking.

Yeah I don't know why people find this hard to understand. This year you likely spent a top 5, even top 3 pick on Spiller. For that price you don't expect a 60/40 split in carries and lack of goal line work. It's not that his production hasn't been ok so far or that he can't have some big weeks even with Jackson there, but the way this is shaking out is nothing like what was represented in the offseason, where the coaching staff made it seem like Spiller would be carrying this offense and Jackson would be an afterthought. Part of the concern/frustration for Spiller owners is that they probably feel like they were misled a bit. Last year it was fine since you didn't spend an early pick on the guy, but most people were expecting an increase in role and numbers this year, not the status quo from last year (which is still very good, but the ceiling is capped).Say what you will but as long as it's RBBC, CJ Spiller isn't a RB1.

The people that spent a top 5 or 3 pick on him did so because they had to have him. Peterson, Martin, Charles, Foster were pretty much everyone's top 4. After that he could have went any where from 5th to end of the first. There was a ton of love for Richardson, McCoy, Rice, Lynch, Calvin, Graham, Dez, and A.J. Green. He will be fine, he is still going to get 1600 + yards from scrimmage and 6 to 10 touchdowns and finish top 10.Yeah I don't know why people find this hard to understand.

He was RB11 in PPR last week.Say what you will but as long as it's RBBC, CJ Spiller isn't a RB1.

Yes, I think we can all acknowledge that his ceiling is capped for as long as FJax is healthy, but you better believe he still has RB1 upside regardless of the situation. Spiler doesn't need 20 touches to thrive as was proven last year (averaged 15 touches per game). Owners aren't going to get quite the "elite" return they were expecting but the sky isn't falling. He should not be mentioned in these threads.
Most targeted player through 2 weeks. Seemingly minor injury toward end of game when it was out of hand. This week was disappointing, but, so was Calvin in week 1. I wouldn't panic on AJ yet.
