DMD Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Will have wrist surgery per Adam Schefter. In 28 years of playing FF, I have never seen the #1 overall draft pick get injured that I can recall. Let alone after only one game. He has no valuable backup and the Cards look like they are on a downward spiral without him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiroacademy Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Great start to the season. Now I have decide if I should roster him for 8-12 weeks. Bummer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorttynaz Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I'm having a hard time trying to convince myself to hang on to Johnson. He's going to take up a valuable roster spot for most of the fantasy season. If I felt the Cards were going to be successful and win some games without him, it would be a different story. But honestly - this team may be lucky to win 4 games this year. Last season was not a fluke. They got a good defense, but don't have the offense to sustain drives to give the defense a breather. The O-line is absolute garbage. Palmer should have retired 2 years ago. By the time Johnson comes back, they're not going to be playing for anything relevant other than just mucking their chances at a higher draft pick. Common Sense tells me to hang onto this guy as there couldn't be a better late season acquisition if I can limp my way to any sort of late season relevance, but my gut says cut bait and use the roster spot for someone like Cohen without cutting depth elsewhere. I really f'n hate this game.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really f'n hate this game.. The risk exists that you'll hold on to him all year and that he won't play. That's a small risk to chance to have the potentially best running back in the league for up to half a season. I think he is worth hanging on to even if he were to miss 12 weeks. If you really hate him, it shouldn't be hard to trade him to someone with depth. Some owners, like the Kareem Hunt owner, are riding high and are thinking they have great depth. I've offered Brandon Marshall or either of my tight ends, Martellus Bennett and Delanie Walker, for him. I'll probably raise my offer to Marshall and one of my tight ends if the owner refuses.

I get that nobody will have his production replacing him but none of the undrafted ARI RB are worth anything? I find it hard to believe that Kerwynn Williams is not on the Huddles Free Agent Forecast this week (I'm not a paying member this year, decided to see how bad I could do on my own).

I'm bidding somewhere between 13% and 27% of my FAAB on Kerwynn cover the earth Williams. Running backs in committees that get 12-15 touches have value. And we really don't know how the touches will be split until it happens. But Kerwynn is number two on the depth chart and that is good enough for me to roster and see what happens.

Thanks that is what I thought, I'll put in a waiver claim but won't get him (too far down the order, I know bidding is better more fair). I know people in other leagues, esp DJ owners, who are targetting Kerwynn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is maybe less fair but it makes things simple. I find bidding to be a bit stressful. It's very difficult to decide how much to bid. I wish bidding was like eBay where you pay one dollar more than the second highest bid regardless of how much you bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorttynaz Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Cards resigned Chris Johnson today too. This backfield just became a full time RBBC. While Williams is the 'replacement' for David Johnson, he won't come close to replacing David Johnson. My take on it is - if you get Williams, don't expect him to consistently put up double digit #'s. He's not a pass catcher and most of all, that O-line is straight garbage.

1fastdoc Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Now I'm seeing talk of Ellington's value going up. Looking at his record I can't see this making any difference for him. Maybe he'll get 2-3 receptions and 30 total yards in a game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
