svtballa 8 Posted September 8, 2014 What's your take on him? Any potential for bulk carries? I'm debating dropping shone Greene for him and stashing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JediMaster 20 Posted September 8, 2014 Maybe long term. I think Forsett and Pierce are the short term starters. On that note, I'll target him in my dynasty league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheUsualSuspect 207 Posted September 12, 2014 Some of you try way to hard... So, I may just start threads with practice squad guys, just so I can say I'm the guy who discovered the talent. I'm that awesome. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SaintsInDome2006 128 Posted September 23, 2014 I've been looking at Taliaferro all year and I feel a bit idiotic for missing the Pierce news. He's my no. 1 pickup this week, but question - what's the prognosis on Pierce coming back and holding the starting job? Or is Pierce done as starter and it's all Ferro from here?

Giants Fan 85 Posted September 23, 2014 Yeah, uhm ... I'm gonna hafta go ahead and, uh ... disagree with you, a little bit. It's still a muddled backfield. Lotta guys, lot more experience than some pizza delivery, old school Nintendo game. Nothing has been decided. But, he is looking promising. No doubt about it.

kobe808lak 7 Posted September 23, 2014 Are you just trolling at this point? I have the # 1 priority and the options are quite slim. Been sitting on the top priority for 3 weeks and haven't pulled the trigger yet. Could of had Forsett but waited.. Taliaferro could go back to getting 0 carriers when Pierce returns..

I'm assuming Kniles Davis and Donald Brown were rostered last week when you kept you waiver priority. I am NOT wasting my waiver spot on Taliaferro. If he somehow makes it through waiver I'll add him as a lottery ticket, but I just don't think the probablity he somehow turns into a Workhorse starting RB on that team unless there are more injuries. It looks more and more like a full blown RBBC in Baltimore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I need a defense this week as well but don't really want to blow my pick on one of those so I will have to wait to see what D goes unclaimed.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used an early waiver on rainey so i hope martin can keep up the injuries. Of course this year there really isnt any obvious options at the top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iupati 2 Hotty 0 Posted September 23, 2014 It looks more and more like a full blown RBBC in Baltimore. My question is though: When was the last Kubiak RBBC offense? I get that it's Harbaugh's team to run but I can't shake this dumb feeling that one RB will separate and become the workhorse. I feel like if Kubiak likes a RB, he'll be allowed to ride that RB. Just depends on who that is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just depends on who that is. Last week Forsett also had 11 carries and 3 catches. I too am intrigued by the guy; but with Peirce coming back maybe even this week I'm just not ready to burn my top waiver spot. Like I said if I can add him after waivers I will. He may end up being this years Zac Stacy, but the odds are against it. I think I'll wait for a better opportunity. It's a gamble, which is what makes fantasy football fun.

nobody 2,043 Posted September 23, 2014 This is one of those things where the rookie needs to be demonstrably better than the vet to get the job. Pierce sucks. Eventually even NFL coaches will have to succumb to that fact and give Lorenzo the ball. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drizzay 646 Posted September 23, 2014 Just submitted a bid for him....will be dropping Pierce if I have the high bid. I feel ok about it too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cyclone24 1,814 Posted September 25, 2014 So now is this kid even worth a roster spot with Pierce back? Guy who picked him up this week dumped him already. Id have to drop either Toby, SJAX, Trent, Blue, Brown, or McFadden for him......just not sure his situation is any better than the colossal shiit storm stable of fecal matter i have right now.

kilroy69 994 Posted September 25, 2014 I picked him up after he passed through waivers. I am willing to see if he develops into a workhorse before i need him for the week 9 bye. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
avocado 0 Posted September 25, 2014 I'm holding both Pierce and Taliaferro right now, but on the bench as I wait to see who emerges as the front-runner or if it devolves into a total timeshare. This situation is leaving a lot to be desired. DMC, Greene, and Moreno are both waiting to be picked up, but I'm not sure if it's worth dropping one of these guys, at least not yet.

50shades 10 Posted September 25, 2014 Just read all the articles I could find on Pierce's return and Harbaugh hasn't directly come out and named him the starter. Usually coaches will get ahead of a situation. Seems fishy. I think Taliaferro ends up starting this game and getting the majority (slight majority) of the rushes.

Patriotica 5 Posted September 25, 2014 I have him as a starter for "now". Am staring at The Fake McCoy and Carlos Hyde on the bench. Still time to waiver on McCoy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DaBeerz 88 Posted September 25, 2014 I dropped Matt Asiata for him. I think he may be legit, Pierce has his chances to become the starter and was pedestrian. LT (too early to call him that LOL) had a good showing against a solid defense. I'm starting him this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KSB2424 3,083 Posted September 25, 2014 This guy made it thourgh waivers so I snagged him (dropping Woodhead) without losing my waiver position. I like him as a stash and see guy long term as he might arise as the starter out of that group but I don't have the cojones to start him this week, against a stellar Panthers D.

SaintsInDome2006 128 Posted September 25, 2014 Usually stellar. But not last week. The Steelers piled some major RB FFP's on the panthercats, what happened there? Blount did quite well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
50shades 10 Posted September 26, 2014 I read on another site that Pierce has been NAMED the starter so I checked the web and could find nothing. Nothing except a reporter who says he expects Pierce to start. The coaches haven't tweeted or said anything. The silence is deafening. Taliaferro will start IMO and get the bulk (slightly at first) of carries. I'm starting him due to bye weeks for other RBs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
