Favre4ever Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I am a Grant owner in dynasty league. There is a reason why I did not roster Brandon Jackson as a handcuff. Because he is not feature back material. I don't care what kind of crapola you have heard from the head coach, or from the people that grabbed him in their lame Yahoo league during game on Sunday. It just ain't happening. Sorry to burst your bubbles. You hit the nail on the head here..I'm a Packer fan and Jackson has not impressed at all...He is not a feature back and really not even a good 3rd down back...

WaterMan Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 What kind of a BS league allows adds in the middle of a game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This part is far from true. He's not going to put up numbers on third down, but he excels in picking up the blitz and taking on blockers to buy Rodgers some time.

BeeR Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Man and I really wanted Grant as my RB2. Jackson is in an ideal situation but IMO he'll end up with underwhelming stats, not a believer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeR Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 lol Hey had my share of stud-RB-gets-hurt stuff. Small wonder I still tend to overdraft RBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rattsass Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Just for the benefit of you lost souls crying about losing Grant, here is what is now left of my running backs in my dynasty league: Jerome Harrison Tashard Choice Bernard Scott Leon Washington Keiland Williams I really needed Grant to hold the fort down for just one more year. Looks like tomorrow is today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzlemaster Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I drafted Brandon Jackson with my last pick (16th) in a 12 team league after Tashard Choice and Bernard Scott were taken a few round before. Looks like I got ~5th round value out of that pick for now. Looking at my team in my signature, any thought on what to do with my deep RB's? I was thinking of packaging Jackson and Forte or Bowe for an upgrade at WR or RB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentastic Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Well, I picked the right week to have the lowest score, which gives me the 1st ww pickup to start the season. But it gets better, one of my buddies (this is an all-friend 14 team league) wants Jackson really bad. He's very weak at RB and I'm relatively weak at WR. He's offering up any of his WRs and he will pickup whoever I want him to from the ww (he picks 3rd) and trade him too. In the end, here's what will happen: I trade - Brandon Jackson and Devery Henderson I receive - Calvin Johnson and one of either Vick or Naanee (depending on his ww pick). So I just turned the 1st ww pick into Calvin Johnson. I'm still in shock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadman Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I handcuffed Jackson to Grant in my auction league as a 2nd back to Chris Johnson. Jackson has always looked capable to me when playing, and at times looked more explosive and impressive than Grant in limited duty. Admittedly, haven't watched GB games that much, but the kid seems to have some skills and big play ability. I'm hoping my handcuff can result in something positive, at this point. But I was hopeful Grant could get that weekly TD and the occasional 100 yard performance in that offense. Still seeing conflicting reports about the injury, but the worst news seems to be the most probable right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday Couch Potatoe Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 at everyone calling for has beens like Parker and Lynch to save the ship that's hilarious! They can't even win the job on there own teams with average talent like F. Jackson and Portis and L.J. ahead of them on the depth charts. Jackson will get his shot to prove skeptics wrong I really like the kid and hope he does well. There's a reason he's been there backup for a few years and we'll see if that potential the Pack saw in him reigns true in the spotlight now. Ya they will bring some folks in to help with depth but make no doubt about it it's Action Jackson's job until he proves he can't handle the job! And with there next few matchups being creampuffs I see at least a short term worth that might turn into longterm. I think the kid could gain some confidence from a few soft defenses and him doing well against them. Hell he's on a great team so he already has that going for him. I don't own him but I will try to on the wire as I'm third in line. I have been a fan of his since college on the huskers and hope he makes the best of his opportunity!
