tanatastic 2,061 Posted December 7, 2012 With injuries to Shorts, and not having big enough balls to start DMC, My best option for flex appears to be Green. josh Gordon and Fitz are my other options. gordon may have the highest ceiling there but I like to start Rbs when I can. Hes the lead dog now and the packers should win, so a winning team runs more late in the game. BAsically im just praying for a td here off a screen or GL non kuhn vulture. But I dont think 15 carrys are out of the question. Look, I know hes not very talented. But talent is one of the most overrated things in FF, yes I said it, talent is overrated. Opportunity is more important. do you think Knowshow Moreno is as good as he was last night? no, but a peyton led offense gets first downs and keeps defenses off balance. Any RB can thrive behind peyton. If green gets 50yds and a td ill be happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BufordT 371 Posted December 7, 2012 Actually, I don't think we've seen the best of Moreno yet. If he stays on the field, he's a borderline RB1. I agree with you about Green, though. Don't forget about the Montell Williams..I mean Owens from Jax, also. They're starting RB's....anything can happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dj88 0 Posted December 7, 2012 As a Greenbay homer I can assure you that Green is not the answer. I wouldn't be surprised if he shared 50-50 with newly signed Ryan Grant. He's shown next to nothing all year. Of your choices I'd run with Gordon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cbfalcon 824 Posted December 7, 2012 My choices are Alex Green vs Det or Reggie Bush vs SF. I am confidently going with Green. Unless you guys think maybe I shouldn't? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's shown next to nothing all year. Of your choices I'd run with Gordon. Hes def not the answer, but for this game right here, I see 22 carrys for at least 50 yds, 4 rec for 20 more yds and a 1 in 4 chance for a td. I dont think 30 yr old grant fresh off the street will get a timeshare, next week maybe but not this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dont think 30 yr old grant fresh off the street will get a timeshare, next week maybe but not this week. I might be forced to go with him in my flex spot over Nicks and Cryin Mathews. Even though Ryan Grant knows the scheme I think he is simply an insurance policy because you can't expect him to be 100% game ready after one week. The concern is that Kuhn vultures goal line chances. That being said I will take a back playing on an explosive offense that will touch the ball 20 times in the run and passing game against a D full of players that have given up and an offense that can still score enough points to put pressure on Green Bay.

PATSSOX 22 Posted December 8, 2012 Anyone sitting Mathews for Green? First round of playoffs and ill probably be one and done because of my damn RBs. MJD i hate you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boilermaker04 11 Posted December 9, 2012 I am having a hard time pulling the trigger on this guy against Detroit. It's not a good matchup and he's already proven he's not a stud rb. I have A. Brown in my flex spot in a ppr over him right now and I think its staying that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
American Chewy 98 Posted December 9, 2012 started him in several games earlier this year. you are basically praying for about 7 points. hard to expect more than that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PATSSOX 22 Posted December 9, 2012 started him in several games earlier this year. you are basically praying for about 7 points. hard to expect more than that. Yup i tried Green earlier in year too and was lucky to get 7. My RB2 spot in this particular league has been a complete mess and continues to be. My only 2 options in first round of playoffs are Mathews and Green Cant expect more than 7 pts from Green so i might roll the dice and hope Mathews gets the ball and gets his head out his arse. Maybe since Norv knows he is done he will give Mathews the ball? Doubt it Lets look at Greens game logs this year.

I'll take 20 carrys any day. Sure hell prob fumble in the snow but the defenders will be slipping too. I'll be ok w 7 pnts but I could see up to 15. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BufordT 371 Posted December 9, 2012 All statistics aside, "sometimes all we need is a second chance". Green is getting a second chance which will probably be his last chance. Kind of like Moreno in Denver...except that Moreno has talent. I'm not sure how talented Green is, but, he'll be getting the bulk of the carries and he knows "this is it". That said, Josh Gordon and Larry Fitz are probably better plays at this point. IMO, Fitz has one more "blow up" week in him and it would be a shame to miss it.

tanatastic 2,061 Posted December 10, 2012 Green looks great. over 5 a carry, hittin the hole well an showing good speed. Easily could've taken that td in. If the lions didn't dominate the first half time he would have a workmanlike 70yds or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BobSanders_33 127 Posted December 10, 2012 Well U got me there. But they ran a ton like i thought and the insane time of possession difference was a factor. Green tapping his helmet and pulling himself out of the redzone was a killer. If he just had the stamina to stay in the entire drive he would have had a nice stat line. That TD run was blocked perfectly and Green should have been the back jogging in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't stand it when players tap their helmet because they are tired. I especially can't stand it when said player is on my team in the midst of a playoff game and the player who replaces him gets a TD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea especially when that injured gimp AP runs 60 yds, then stays in for 2 more to get the TD. That guy is just a marvel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
