PATSSOX 22 Posted November 4, 2012 It is almost guaranteed that if i trade for someone they will suck Megatron has become Megabust Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Junkie 0 Posted November 4, 2012 Hold on people, this is speculation by a beat writer. It remains to be seen what will really happen. With Lloyd on bye, and the overall suckiness of my other WRs, a Calvin that only plays on 3rd down is still going to be in my lineup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gouda-Buddha 0 Posted November 4, 2012 Well, ######. Megatron has been the worst first round pick of the freaking year. I guess I'll have to replace him with another WR. Andre Johnson Eric Decker Victor Cruz BENCH: CALVIN JOHNSON "MEGA-NO-SHOW" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerryskids 5,209 Posted November 4, 2012 Fock it, I'm finally benching him. I'm liking Antonio Brown, Lance Moore, and Andre Roberts more (ppr). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,172 Posted November 4, 2012 Fock it, I'm finally benching him.

Gouda-Buddha 0 Posted November 4, 2012 Megatron and Ridley for AJ Green and Arian Foster... Any takers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cdogge 17 Posted November 4, 2012 I was really looking forward to this game.. Especially after we got word that the Jags will be without their top 2 cb's. The offense looked like they figured it out last week. I was thinking breakout party Mega. Damn I guess it's James Jones time again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vyse 0 Posted November 4, 2012 Honestly, if they only plan on using him on 3rd downs they should just sit him out completely instead. Sucks for us Calvin owners but it'd be better for him to be full go for the final stretch of the fantasy season instead of him playing every week with the nagging knee injury.. I'm thinking about picking up Jason Avant for the MNF game against the Saints. There's really no one else in my league right now so why not take a shot in the dark, saints offense is terribad.

Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted November 4, 2012 I will put in him as a flex player and see what happens around noon. I could throw in Reggie Bush or Vick Ballard instead. Not exactly a value pick in Megatron this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
p00h 85 Posted November 4, 2012 I've never heard of a WR only playing on 3rd downs. Doesn't even make sense, IMO. Maybe he's coming in as 3rd down back! May the Schwartz be with you... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
avocado 0 Posted November 4, 2012 I picked up Broyles and am tentatively starting him instead. Not happy about it, but I just want points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stonewall 647 Posted November 4, 2012 Only one sure-fire way for Mega to blow up.........bench him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Challenger 72 Posted November 4, 2012 I am in love with Broyles. In the past 2 games, he only has been in 10% and 50% of offensive snaps, and he produced. Honestly, I like him more than Young. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theADDICT 0 Posted November 4, 2012 my only other option is kenny britt not sure what to do. im beginning to give up on fantasy football this year, my team is mostly underachievers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Mueller 146 Posted November 4, 2012 Didn't want to create a separate thread. Anyone notice that Broyles isn't listed anywhere on the rankings, projections or game previews? I'm assuming just an oversight... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Next Generation 10 Posted November 4, 2012 Lions beat writer Tim Twentyman expects Calvin Johnson (knee, questionable) to play on Sunday against the Jaguars. Megatron missed practice all week, but head coach Jim Schwartz expressed confidence that the star receiver would still manage to suit up and start. On Saturday, Pro Football Weekly reported that Johnson could be limited to third downs. Regardless, if he's playing, then Megatron is a lock for fantasy lineups. Inactives will be released around 11:30AM ET, so we should know Johnson's fate shortly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryskids 5,209 Posted November 4, 2012 you need to do something in the IBL. years ago you kept making posts here regarding the ibl...been a while That WAS my IBL team I mentioned. In a WR-heavy league, I've got Calvin, Julio, Brown, Lloyd... I should never lose. I see your team is doing well... a stopped clock is right twice a day, or so they say.

Super Cubs 132 Posted November 4, 2012 He's missed pratice all week, questionable start, and only playing 3rd downs. With all that being said he should be good for 200 yards and 5 TDs. To be serious my bench sucks so I'm starting him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raider 84 29 Posted November 4, 2012 I've never heard of a WR only playing on 3rd downs. Doesn't even make sense, IMO. I agree, I think he will play until he is in too much pain or Lions take a huge lead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

megatron's mom 6 Posted November 4, 2012 CJ is on pace for roughly 100 catches and 1300 yards. How is this a bust? I think people set expectations at an unreal level and drafted him waaaaaay too high. That is on the people that drafted him, not the player still having a better year than 80% of the receivers in the NFL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoadLizard 73 Posted November 4, 2012 I've never heard of a WR only playing on 3rd downs. Doesn't even make sense, IMO.

Drizzay 646 Posted November 4, 2012 Did not bench thankfully. looks like he's in for a monster day! I'm not complaining about the yardage, but it wouldn't kill them to throw a fade down near the end zone. Get the guy a TD for crying out loud! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cstriker 2 Posted November 4, 2012 I'm not complaining about the yardage, but it wouldn't kill them to throw a fade down near the end zone. Get the guy a TD for crying out loud! he missed one getting tackled at the 1 yard line. Patience, they will come. Good thing is he looks good running routes, only a matter of time health permitting.
