Panic Meter: Russell Wilson, Murray, Bell...

[Mike FF Today 607]

Just posted Doug's latest article "The Ship Be Sinking?". What's everyone's level of panic on Russell Wilson, Kirk Cousins, Isaiah Crowell, DeMarco Murray, Jordan Howard and Le'Veon Bell?

 

My current panic meter...

 

Wilson: 2
​Cousins: 5
Crowell: 4
​Murray: 5
​Howard: 7
Bell: 2

As a Wilson owner I will wait 2 more weeks and re-evaluate

Wilson owner too and I agree with above that I'll still give him a chance to work through this, but I did pick up Wentz this week just as insurance.

 

Wilson did look really good in the preseason, and one of his receivers did drop a gimme TD in Week2 so his score could easily have been 20 that week, so I still think there's things to be optimistic about. Plus he tends to be a slow starter anyway.

If Carson can also step up, perhaps that takes more pressure off Wilson too and he has more space to do his thing.

 

Admittedly it's a glass half full opinion, but I'm also lucky enough to be 2-0 still with him, so I can afford to be patient with him.

If I'm an owner of his on an 0-2 team though, than I may be more concerned.

I own Bell and the only panic I have is his ability to stay healthy. If healthy it's a zero. 31 touches, and one stupid shovel pass play away from scoring a TD last week and putting a respectable fantasy game. I also own Howard and that panic meter would be off the charts except he was a late round keeper pick, and I own Bell and Hunt.

Not proud at all to own Wilson. No one in my league cares for him either and I got him as a backup. He really seems overrated on rankings by most sites.

 

Murray is interesting to me, and what the article says makes a lot of sense. I have Henry and would love a changing of the guard, but I know very little about the situation. Many have already crowned Henry to be better but most of them are Henry owners who are hoping.

have Wilson also, my backups are Bradford and Dalton....so at least giving Wilson one more week, he has no trade value as of now.

The Henry love on this board is off the charts. He could be a great back, but I think he'll be a situational dependent back, not the transcendent talent some people make him out to be. He could thrive with the Titans, but it will have as much to do with the line and scheme as it does him.
