stowellt Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 just have this funny feeling that the Rams are going to roll over today. also sitting Holt. where Piere may get a TD ot two. Good luck with that. Fox Sports is reporting that Deuce may get 10-15 carries today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikesVikes Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 If they roll over today, wouldn't that be a double negative? If they roll over more than once than they would now be upright. Thus giving Holt and Jackson a hugh game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 (edited) just have this funny feeling that the Rams are going to roll over today. also sitting Holt. where Piere may get a TD ot two. Good points. I activated Sterling Sharpe's top rookie RB this year, Steve Slaton. Edited September 28, 2008 by Randall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishFreak Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 All things considered, guys have been hard on Sjax so far. He's currently the no. 15 ranked RB in both my leagues and averaging 14 points per contest thanks primarily to his receiving numbers. Now I know that's not what's expected from a top 5 pick but things could be much worse. If you own Sjax in a non PPR league then yeah consider other options. If you have him in a PPR league then how could you ever bench this guy? He's a stud and will come around, be patient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am being patient and I know he will come around I just don't think it will be today with all the rumblings and the Bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zooty Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Even with Trent Green on his back all day? Sure. The 3rd time he gets knocked on his back he'll get a concussion and Bulger will go back in. Dump-off passes are gold in PPR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piratesownninjas Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Good luck with that. Fox Sports is reporting that Deuce may get 10-15 carries today. Honestly, I'll believe that when I actually see it with my own eyes. I just don't think Duece is physically where he needs to be to get 10-15 carries. If it does happen though, I think it will impact Bush more than Thomas. In Reggie Bush's most productive year he averaged 15 touches a game. Last year when Duece went down and the saints had no solid back to pair with Bush, they gave Bush 19 touches and he wore down and eventually was injured. So far this season, they're giving him 23 touches a game, a number which is way too high for him to sustain. If they want to keep Reggie's high productivity they need to shave 5-8 touches a game, which I think Duece will come in and take. Pierre Thomas has been too productive so far this season to allow Duece to come in and take his limited amount of touches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishFreak Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Yeah the Rams O is awful and the caoching staff is imploding but the important thing is Sjax is still getting his touches. He will reward owners shortly and the TD's will come. You gotta live and suffer sometimes with your studs. Nobody crushes every week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think he is, don't you think they would have been using him. If they can get him back for after the bye week they will be happy.
