Wali Lundy officially a bust?

to be honest, i really didnt expect much out of him anyways.. even if it is too early to write him off, i dont see him doing anything in the future either.. this is the houston texans we're talking about. that line is horrid. why anyone thought a backup rb could put up decent numbers behind that line is beyond me.

In order to be labeled a "bust", shouldn't we have had high expectations for that player in the first place?

 

 

 

Matt Leinart's a bust too then. He isn't starting either. He hasn't thrown a touchdown yet. :D

 

Geez, man give it a little time. Dayne/Gado the starters?

I would hardly consider a player I drafted in the 10th round a bust. Players drafted around that area of the draft are hit or miss anyway, and are often the first to get traded in for waiver wire picks.

 

But if you are strictly asking whether Lundy is worth hanging onto, it depends on your situation. I am going to wait it out with him for a few weeks myself. I don't see any of these guys sticking as "starter". I'm going to try to ride it out a week or two and see if Dayne doesn't flame out (yet again) or Gado fumble his way to the bench. Everyone is ready to pronounce Lundy dead, and if that is what you really think by all means drop him. Keep in mind he is a rookie. The team is struggling. Dayne offers them an experienced presence to help right the ship temporararily. But Lundy may very well re-appear, as I see it he is the only one possibly capable of emerging as anything special. Gut call.

You guys are right, too soon to throw in the towel on him. I try to stick with RBs who catch and run which is why DDavis was so successful, but I don't think we'll see that style from any HOU RB. That's where I was trying to go with this. So, for me, Wali is out for now, i've picked up Betts on a hunch. :D

 

Larry J

Westbrook

SJax

R Brown

C Taylor

F Gore

Barber

(B Jacobs, Bush, Turner being the upcoming additions)

 

all guys I have on my teams, I try to focus on that type of RB and have found that strategy to be unstoppable.

 

...just makin' conversation

:D

In deep leagues some have no choice.. not all of us play in a standard 12 person league

 

 

Hey I know what it's like, although I'm in a 12 team. You got a bye or injury, or need to fill a hole, you're not looking for him to blow-up just get those few points to keep you in it.

 

Never know, he could surprise. Good luck. Seriously.

I agree with everything here. I took Lundy in the 10th round when I start making my "lottery picks". This is why I call 'em lottery picks. Sometimes they work out, but most of the time they don't. That's okay though. It beats taking proven stiffs with "name value" just to fill out my roster which is what several of my leaguemates were doing.

Here's my take on the HOU RB situation:

 

Week 1 : PHI

Week 2 : IND

Week 3 : WAS

Week 4 : MIA

Week 5 : bye

Week 6 : DAL

Week 7 : JAX

 

What a tough schedule -- horrid line or not. The HOU RB (whoever it is) is not at the "stud level" where one would start him regardless of matchup. This is a baptism by fire. Wali Lundy, Ron Dayne, Samkon Gado -- it doesn't matter. Whoever the lucky RB is to win the "musical chairs" rotation after week 7, will begin to see some value.

 

Week 8 : TEN

 

'nuf said.
