JoeySon Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) Ray Rice Trent Richardson Steven Jackson Doug Martin Chris Johnson Maurice Jones-Drew CJ Spiller Steven Ridley All guys likely taken in the first couple rounds and mostly fell on their face. What do you do with these guys? Sell for what you can, or ride out and hope for the best? Edited October 21, 2013 by JoeySon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatDude Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 the problem is owners will offer players at their current values and most owners wont take the trade because they are still thinking about the fact that they took those players on the 1-3 rounds. Nothing ends up getting done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 S-Jax got hurt. Everyone knew MJD and Johnson had question marks going in. Spiller and Ridley also had some risk. There were some folks ( ) that were down on the likes of Rice and Martin. T-Rich, at least to me, is the biggest shock. I think you have to ride them out if you got 'em. You're just gonna get someone trying to buy low. Real low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Ray Rice - hold Trent Richardson - get what you can Steven Jackson - what can you do?.. Doug Martin - hold Chris Johnson - sell if you can in a package deal....I would take Doug Martin in exchange if healthy.. Maurice Jones-Drew - hold? CJ Spiller - definitely hold....he does better with less touches.. Steven Ridley - sell if you can...when Vereen returns it may get even uglier...

Real low. exactly...I didn't like most of the top RB's personally....the only players I was wrong about was MJD and Miller....everyone else I really liked has pretty much panned out...the problem has been getting them on my team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowboutthemCowboys Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) CJ Spiller - definitely hold....he does better with less touches.. this is getting old Steven Ridley - sell if you can...when Vereen returns it may get even uglier... wish I would have tried to sell after 2 tds last week Edited October 21, 2013 by HowboutthemCowboys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millworkguy Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) I moved T Rich twice this week. In both cases i got back Gio, straight-up in stnd and we exchanged wr's in a ppr for me to move him. Happy he is gone and he will not be able to disapoint me again. MJD i have yet to be able to move Spiller i moved a few weeks ago (with T Smith) and got cruz, gonzo (another filler each way) SJax i am getting many low offers on, but in this league i'm lossing (so badly) so there is no reason for me to sell him Edited October 21, 2013 by millworkguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffriders Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Never going RB, RB again. Except for the guy that got Charles and Forte in my league. It's all a crap shoot, nobody knows, anyone who says different is full of sh...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrab Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 And then you have Daniel Thomas who after weeks of being a stiff is given the start, and had a respectable 12 carries for 60 yards. (A few more touches would be nice at 5 YPC.) I was just about to drop him for some more depth at other positions, now I may have to rethink that. (Yes my RB are so bad that he is worth owning, Sproles and Chris Johnson are the starters, with Hillman/Snelling/Thomas the backups.)

dougsul Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Of all of those backs I am most shocked with Rice and Martin. I thought at seven overall I thought rice was the safest player. Rice rarely gets hurt and is (was) involved in the passing game. I have been in FF since 1989 and he is my biggest non-injured miss ever. He sucks so bad I can’t start him (started Stacey and D Williams), but am afraid of cutting him. To me he has no trade value. Though week seven he is avering like 38 yards a game, unreal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sucks so bad I can’t start him (started Stacey and D Williams), but am afraid of cutting him. To me he has no trade value. Though week seven he is avering like 38 yards a game, unreal The problem with Rice (at least what I saw last year), was that the offensive gameplan would for no reason go away from their best player. The offensive coaching staff changed but the gameplan didn't. On top of it, the team lost two of its top 2 passing targets. More use of Pierce, defenses able to stack up against the run... these things did not bode well for Rice. Yes, his ability to catch the ball out of the backfield *can* keep him "fantasy relevant", but that's not what you want out of your RB1 and 1st round pick. You want steady production with the ability to blow up in certain contests. Look at Rice's 2012 week-by-week numbers. His Week 7 output against Houston was the telling sign for me. Sure, he caught 5 balls but only 9 carries? At least for me, there were enough warning signs to avoid Rice. I won't re-hash Martin's problems. He could have improved as this season went on. At least he had a workload that could at some point translate into fantasy success, especially with the team's upcoming schedule. He got hurt. But there were warning signs for him last year too.
