quiveringnorm Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 DMD, Having a hard time understandign your assessment of Fred Taylor. Have him ranked in the 40's in a performance league. But in the 30's in a keeper league. Do you not expect him to play this year. You even have him ranked behind Brandon Jacobs in a perfomance league this year. Brandon Jacobs???? Tiki's backup. Are you sure about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiveringnorm Posted August 12, 2005 Author Share Posted August 12, 2005 To further expand my comment here are Taylors Stats. He has missed 2 games in the last 3 years.

Big Talker Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I've wondered the same thing and am thinking (rightly or wrongly) that DMD knows something about Taylor's condition that we who depend on the media haven't heard. Even if not, I understand the caution about FT--but I agree he should be ranked higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Oven Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 (edited) There are some concerns about his health going into this season. Which is understandable due to his past and the knee scope this summer, but I got him in the eighth round last night in a 12 team performance league, which I will definitely take any day.

DMD Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I have major reservations about Taylor this season and I want to see something positive about the condition of his knee before I raise him any. I have a very bad feeling about Taylor this year (easy enough to have). I wouldn't touch him unless he fell as far as my rankings indicated.

wiegie Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Plus, Brandon Jacobs is a Saluki and it is a well-known fact that anyone who goes to Southern Illinois is worth his weight in gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenokee Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Pretty sure the cat reference should have read Auburn, not LSU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
