Grogansghost Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 As a non-recovering CJ owner (he's still on my team) I've been doing my best to sell-high. Like most addictions, it's been a long path to recovery with lots of twists and turns (i.e. no one wants to trade for him). After playing with the EOS tool I fear a full-on relapse. Maybe more CJ is what my fantasy team needs. Weeks 1-4: TEN faced the 27th toughest run schedule (obviously, CJ himself skews those numbers a bit) Weeks 5-16: TEN gets the 12th easiest schedule Is it crazy to think that an EOS swing of 15 might let CJ salvage the season?

awahl63 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 (edited) 100% crazy. I am starting him this week (benched him last week of course) so I would highly advise benching him. I'll let you guys know when I bench him because he will explode that week. Have you ever dropped a knife and tried to catch it before it hits the floor? It's a bad idea. Same with drafting/starting Chris Johnson.

Who said anything about not sticking a lit candle up the nose? That's the best way to get rid of a stuffy nose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awahl63 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Ok now time for the honest response... I'm going to hold on to him. I don't think I would be able to swing a trade that could offer the upside potential that CJ offers. Also, I think Hasselbeck greatly improves his value. Locker just isn't anything special at this point in his career and Hasselbeck can at least manage the game and give CJ some passes out of the backfield that makes him a startable PPR runningback. Here's to crossing our fingers and hopihng CJ and his line get their poop together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfish Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I traded Roddy White out of a crowded receiving corps for CJ last week. Could have had Spiller or FJackson, but couldn't get past the injury risks and chance of a true committee. At least CJ is the guy. Maybe he has an ounce of pride somewhere and it eventually wins out?

How crowded are we talking here? I like CJs upside but Roddy White has and will be a viable starting WR option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripleshot Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 We're only at week 5. There's plenty of time for him(and his o-line) to turn things around. Then again, maybe last week was one of only three 100 yard games for the whole year. Bait to make us keep starting him and suffering through 38 yard efforts.

loaf Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I have him in my 10 Team League where we have roster limits. You cannot have more than 5 RBs at a time (IR excluded). 16 roster spots I am no need to dump him so he's going no where soon. Unless I can off him.

Scorcher Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I am starting him in ppr league over D Brown. With Hass playing he should get some yardage in the air plus points on catches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detlef Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Dude, if I could get a viable starter, let alone a guy like Roddy White for CJ, I'd record the conversation so that there was no way the other dude could back out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I speak for the masses here in saying you could have probably got a much, much better RB for White. But hey, who am I to judge? Hope it works out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papajohn Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Thanks! It's not like I traded Roddy White to get him. I just drafted him 2nd! Why the SNICKERS would you draft Chris Johnson second overall? The guy who gave up Roddy White is a genius compared to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
