medalofhonor Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Staying away from this backfield which will find itself having to play the passing game a lot because of their crappy defense. I see a Starks-Michael RBBC. As for Montgomery, he's gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrab Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 not touching this mess Don't have to worry all 3 (CMike, Starks, Ty) are already rostered in my league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XFlash Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Man, I don't know. I got a waiver in now to drop CMix and pick up JHoward. I think I will stick with Howard since he is not injured (as suspected earlier). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XFlash Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Is CMix better than Lacy or Starks? Or is it still the GB O-line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XFlash Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 The o-line is banged up right now. Thanks BJ. Looks like it will not matter if CMix or Starks gets the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tebby Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Thanks BJ. Looks like it will not matter if CMix or Starks gets the start. nope. it doesn't even matter if the o-line is healthy or not, green bay are stubbornly allergic to running the football.

Bigins Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 And if I'm keeping Jeffrey, Montgomery has to go. #&%@*$¥£√≥!!! I still like Starks(in my lesser league) however. Hope he stays #1 and not a committee with Michael. Oh, and the Packers STILL suck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colkurtz Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Christina is the most overhyped player in a lomg time. Not stating Starks this week, but not am I worried about this addition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImNotSoIgnorant Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Its curious though. Wasn't Montgomery doing well in his dual role? Why would they stop using his versatility? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrab Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Its curious though. Wasn't Montgomery doing well in his dual role? Why would they stop using his versatility? He's got health/injury issues, possibly the sickle-cell trait possibly something else. They tried using him, he did ok but now he may not even play this week (missed practice yesterday and the story I read said it was "illness" not related to sickle-cell. http://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/players/1851149/ty-montgomery/ see the player news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MERLINS Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Didn't Christine Michael have a stellar performance in the playoffs last year versus the Packers? I have a feeling that the Packers will be starting him next week in hopes that his aggressive running style works for their offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolverines Fan Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) Found this info about Montgomery. Evan Silva's column at rotoworld: http://www.rotoworld.com/articles/nfl/66736/179/silvas-week-11-matchups?pg=4 James Starks returned from his knee injury against Tennessee and took over as Green Bay's lead back after Ty Montgomery missed two first-quarter blitz-pickup assignments that resulted in sacks. On both plays, Montgomery too quickly broke into a route instead of staying in to block. Montgomery went on to manage five touches on a 28% playing-time clip, seeing most of the rest of his action in garbage time alongside Brett Hundley. Starks wound up with ten touches on 71% of the snaps. Until further notice, Starks needs to be approached as the Packers’ lead back and a viable RB2/flex option against Washington’s No. 30 DVOA-rated run defense. As the Packers can't trust Montgomery to be on the field with Rodgers, fantasy owners won't be able to trust Montgomery, either. We also shouldn't trust Packers OC Edgar Bennett's post-game explanation for why Montgomery barely played, blaming it on a "rep count." Montgomery flat out got benched. It would be a surprise if mid-week waiver claim Christine Michael made any Sunday night impact, although his addition could conceivably end the Montgomery-at-running-back experiment for good if Michael eventually earns playing time.

I have a feeling that the Packers will be starting him next week in hopes that his aggressive running style works for their offense. Actually one of the reasons the hawks let him go was because his LACK of aggressive running. They had to "coach him up" after two games in a row of running out of bounds before contact. He is not a bruiser whatsoever and tends to run out of his shoes, plus he missed the correct hole on many of his runs and tried to bounce outside too many times. They did not trust him and lost confidence. Edited November 17, 2016 by heehawks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Minnesota where he impressed in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
