bsballkingben99 2 Posted September 8, 2010 Will we see the beast of 2008 or will he be bugged by injury this year like he was last year. Discuss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boz/BoFan 0 Posted September 8, 2010 He was on pace for monster numbers last year before his ankle went all gay. Its rare, comparatively speaking, to see the shorter compact guys get the "injury" label so I think he'll be just fine this year. His 08 numbers were huge, maybe a one time deal but 14-1500 and 12-14 tds isnt out of the question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bjsteel 34 Posted September 8, 2010 He dropped to the bottom of the 1st rd in one of my ppr leagues and couldn't pass him up, so I hope he has a huge year. I may sit him @ Pitt week 1 in favor of Foster and Harrison, however!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricanrockers 39 Posted September 8, 2010 If he stays healthy and in shape, he'll have a close 2008 season again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maroon Bells 18 Posted September 8, 2010 He dropped to the 13th pick in my draft. Couldn't pass on him there. He's a bit lighter, in better shape, some say faster. He's supposed to get fewer carries this year, but a bit more use in the passing game. If he stays healthy, he'll be big. Good, solid, safe pick in the first. Steal in the 2nd IMO.

We Tigers 71 Posted September 8, 2010 The 2009 season was pretty much exactly the same as the 2008 season on a per-game basis. The only thing I think you worry about regarding Turner is an injury--no reason to expect that again--or a complete failure in Atlanta, which seems unlikely to me.

BingoBrown 8 Posted October 21, 2010 Juat traded for him. He's about to blow up! Same here. I gave up Maclin for Turner. I was already mad deep at RB (A. Foster, A. Bradshaw, M. Forte, R. Mathews, P. Thomas), but I was also mad deep at WR (G. Jennings, H. Nicks, M. Wallace, M. Colston). I'm really hoping Turner breaks out of his funk and reclaims the elite RB1 status he's capable of.

BingoBrown 8 Posted October 22, 2010 You, good sir, are less mad deep at receiver of wides than dost thinks... Say what?!?! In a 10 team league, with the ability to play 2 WRs and 1 RB/WR, how is that not mad deep? Nicks and Jennings should be my regular starters, and should both be Top 10/15 options here on out. Mike Wallace is a step below them, and Colston is a step below Wallace. Colston is the weakest link, and he'll turn it around at some point. Plus, I just picked up Pierre Garcon. Considering my RB depth, especially with adding Turner, I have no reason to not play 3 RBs every week, and thus only 2 WRs every week. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.

You forfeit credibility when the handicapped kids in your league give you Michael Turner for Jeremy Maclin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
p00h 85 Posted October 22, 2010 are you kidding me??? Maclin for Turner is NOT a bad deal at all! Turner is hella inconsistent, and will not provide any sort of big games anytime soon. I'm starting Hillis over him in a league, and am confident doing so EVERY WEEK moving forwrd. I can't dump Burner on anyone in this league, ANYONE! Sure they'll give me a Crabtree or something like that for him, but he has no true value beyond a middle of teh road WR. Its crazy! And Maclin is better than a middle of the road WR...

There's a reason he was picked as one of the top 6 RB's in most drafts. Unless he's hiding an injury, there's no reason to believe he will not provide any big games soon.

I've got him in 2 leagues so I hope you're right and I'm wrong, but I just don't see it. And having watched a couple of games, on NFL replay albeit, he just doesn't look very good. That explosiveness he had 2 years is just not there, and wasn't last year either... turdtastic is what he is... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He had 831 yards and 10 TD's through week ten last year until he got the high ankle sprain. Since their bye was week 4 that's 92 yards rushing per game and more than a TD per game. Very solid #1 RB numbers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
