Matt Mueller 146 Posted September 17, 2012 The CJ situation really just cements how much about fantasy football is about a players situation. Talent, work ethic and effort(if he gives any) can only go so far. A running back on a team that can't block, can't play defense and has horrible QB play just really doesn't have a chance. We all remember the CJ of old but his situation today is not even close to what it was during his glory days.... Titans are BAD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Gladstone 33 Posted September 17, 2012 It's going to be a brutally long season. I Drafted CJ and Fred Jackson as my top two backs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bc91 0 Posted September 18, 2012 Posted this on the other CJ thread too but thought i would here too since there are 2 threads about him on first page... Does anyone go out and pick up Ringer just in case CJ gets benched after another poor performance this week...I know Ringer is banged up but when he gets healthy any chance he takes over? Any homers out there got any insight? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PATSSOX 22 Posted September 18, 2012 I offered Jamal Charles for Chris Johnson. Maybe a change of scenery would help us both and guy countered with...... Chris Johnson, Jaquizz Rodgers and Denarious Moore for Jamal Charles, Percy Harvin and Cedric Benson. So i said fock you and pulled my original offer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luke D 0 Posted September 18, 2012 Someone in my league actually dropped him for LaFell. I'm not totally desperate for an RB, but picked him up for Ryan Williams anyways. Feeling really good about this. Flipped an 11th round pick for a 1st rounder after two weeks. Granted CJ is playing like an 11th rounder right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

See few things wrong with this. #1-who the hell is going to drop him? #2-Who the hell is going to drop him for LaFell? #3-How the hell can you pick him up right after he is dropped?

cachemaster2000 0 Posted September 18, 2012 Apparently he still has some value. A guy in my league just traded Megatron and McCluster for CJ and Jennings. I don't get it but it's his choice i guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bc91 0 Posted September 19, 2012 Just traded him for D. MArtin.....now he will blow up!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Serpent 51 Posted September 19, 2012 The first place guy in my league just cut him. Didn't even pick anybody up, just cut him. So to him, an empty roster slot has more value than Chris Johnson. And the worst of it is...I don't even want to use a waiver claim on the guy. Right now I plan on keeping James Jones on my team instead. :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unclemercy 51 Posted September 19, 2012 when waivers rolled last night he had been dropped in a keeper for jackie battle. thing is i have first dibs here and dont even know if i want him. cutler luck jamaal demarco mjd hillis julio hakeem percy finley & nate washington i think i might actually lose depth. hmmm.

nearbyatom 1 Posted September 19, 2012 I asked for a bag of Doritos for Chris Johnson. My friend got angry at me and accused me of trying to trade rape him. Honestly, only the name and the hope he will do something is keeping me from dropping him. I don't think I can even get a kicker for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PATSSOX 22 Posted September 19, 2012 Honestly, only the name and the hope he will do something is keeping me from dropping him. I don't think I can even get a kicker for him. He still has it in there somewhere.......... I just told the Chris Johnson owner that i am going to keep the Jamal Charles for Chris Johnson offer on table till around 4 and then i am pulling it. I keep telling my self that he is going to snap out of this crap but the more i read and watch people who know alot more about it than me it does not sound good. Hell im pulling it now that i think about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrchunk 1 Posted September 20, 2012 I decided to take *(my view) the better of the only 2 deals I could drum up for he who should not be named I went with Austin straight up for him over Welker straight up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Gladstone 33 Posted September 20, 2012 I'm considering trading him for DeAngelo Williams straight up. His value is pretty much rock-bottom. Hopefully he can put together a good game this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_future420 3 Posted September 20, 2012 Just traded for CJ0k. Gave up Tony Gonzalez/Peyton Hillis in return for CJ and LaFell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
runpuddrun 0 Posted September 20, 2012 16 team league and I just traded D.Thomas and K.Smith for CJ1YPC and AJ Green. Who knows what happens, but K Smith wasn't going to start for me either way as I have Rice and Matthews and AJ is an upgrade over D.Thomas I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maddog3819 0 Posted September 21, 2012 I would take whatever I could get for Johnson...but Green is a downgrade from Thomas. Both are great talents, but give me the guy with the better QB and supporting cast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raiders-Fan 0 Posted September 22, 2012 I actually receievd a Charles for CJ trade as well and also countered with no success. I traded CJ for Steven Jackson.

Chrisw33 1 Posted September 24, 2012 M. Schaub is my backup to Eli....Schaub just had a great game and a M.Stafford owner inquired about him Thinking of shipping M. Schaub and Chris Johnson to him for Demarco Murray and Alex Smith. We have to hold 2 qb's, 4 rb's, 6 ball catchers at all time... My starting QB is ELI RB's - Charles, CJ, Mcgahee, Benson WR - Roddy, Percy, Nicks, A hernandez, D moore, G. Little I have a h/u between Eli/Nicks, so my trade essentially would be Schaub for D.Murray. Drafter Schaub in the 10th Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hell im pulling it now that i think about it. I was offered Charles for CJ + Garcon; i declined, which sounds bad.... except that I had another offer to consider, Green-Ellis + Lloyd + Rudolph for CJ (+ Myers & Cobb), which I took. All in all the points gained vs my old roster vs what I would have started was as large as what I would have gotten with Charles. The addition of 3 starters makes me feel really good about the deal and I will still take it. Charles is awesome, but he plays for the Chiefs and they won't be playing the Saints' defense every week.

The addition of 3 starters makes me feel really good about the deal and I will still take it. Charles is awesome, but he plays for the Chiefs and they won't be playing the Saints' defense every week. He played for the Chiefs 2 years ago. He isn't too far removed from averaging over 6 yards per carry for an entire season. The guy has freakish talent and with Hillis hurt he is only going to see more carries. I mean the guy had 33 focking carries. Add in 5 catches and he touched the ball 38 times this game. No way will he touch the ball that much every game but when a team wants to give a player as talented as Charles that large of a load, only good things can happen when that player is healthy. I love the fact that I traded for him a few days before he blew up. Gave up RG3 and SJax for Roethlisburger and Charles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
