Shorttynaz Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I need to start two of these three running backs in a PPR League. I'm giving some serious consideration to benching CJ Anderson. Chris Carson at home against the Colts is a no-brainer, and I'm Tarik Cohen seems to offer more potential especially in a PPR League, this week playing against the Packers on Thursday night which that alone scares me but they'll be playing from behind and Cohen catches a lot of passes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BERG Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I think I still like cj but Cohen should be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pesosweetdog Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Just an observation, but has anyone else noticed that the Thursday games tend to greatly lack in terms of production for the players? The first Thursday night game with KC vs. the Pats was an outlier but I really dislike Thursday games for the diminution in production alone.

Jbroadway Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Like someone told me. CJ Anderson has a safer floor but Cohen has a high ceiling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbatchellor Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 If you suspect your opponent is going to put up big numbers roll Cohen; if its a mediocre opponent CJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those two are outliers given the history of TNFB. I'm not sure two good Thursday games changes that. Hopefully, this year will be different.

starkers Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 In PPR I would role with Cohen for the upside. Help with mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotpimp Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Dude in PPR, I would totally do the Carson / Cohen express. Cohen is 6th in receptions vs all WR/RB's with 20 already.. Anderson is nice but that inconsistent low floor makes him a difficult play (as you already know) weekly, plus Charles effectively chipping in weekly (10 carries-ish).. Cohen might still be slightly risky but the ppr aspect you almost have to start him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the forced 'rival' matchup / 'big market matchup' and hype surrounding them turns out some clunkers but last weeks game was insane. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cohen's value is limited by Howard's presence and fluctuates with game script. C.J. Anderson is a bell cow back that was shut down by a good run defense week 3. Jamaal Charles is capped at 10 touches a game, look at his past three games. You need to play C.J. Anderson in all formats in my opinion.

dakotaman Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 If it is PPR then I would go with Carson. Proise is out so Carson will get all of the touches running and receiving. CJ I still the best back ignore the 3 and he has had good game against Oakland. And he is healthy. PPR Carson (barely & bc of upside) then CJ Anderson Standard CJ then Carson I have CJ and Carson on my team and I'm starting CJ period.

Shorttynaz Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 Here's to hoping that Anderson puts up a 50-burger this weekend so I learn my lesson and quit trying to get cute. I started Cohen. Now still rolling with Carson against Indy. Too hard to pass up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck this weekend with your remaining players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
