desertfire 4 Posted September 24, 2015 Drafted this guy in the 2nd round this year. I'm calling him out right now. This is his last chance to do something for me or I'm either trading him or just flat out benching him for good! With that being said, I'm looking for a huge week from Anderson: 125 yds and 2 tds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MDC 5,967 Posted September 24, 2015 The worst part is that I'm rostering his "handcuff" Hillman too, essentially wasting 2 roster spots for zero production. Starting him again this week too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BobSanders_33 127 Posted September 24, 2015 Trading him? If he has one more bad week then good luck with that. What do you think the going rate would be for a running back with 3 straight games under 6 points? Your only choice is to hold and hope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,514 Posted September 24, 2015 Been trying to trade him this week , so thankful that I only have him on two of my teams so far there is nothing at all that I like in return , one guy offered me his kicker lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdon 28 Posted September 25, 2015 calm down. I was freaking last week... then I watched the KC game. Denver has had ten days to figure some things out. Detroit isn't the run defense they were. I expect CJ to have a good 20 carries and over 100 yards on sunday... seriously, Kubiak needs this to work or he is going to lose his team... jdon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That might be a bit overly dramatic............... The Broncos are 2-0 1st place in the division 2-0 in the conference 1-0 in the division having won on the road in one of toughest venues in the NFL. The defense is playing really well, the offense doesn't look the way we want it to................ but the team has scored 50 points.......... Just saying..........a little dramatic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,061 Posted September 25, 2015 The worst part is that I'm rostering his "handcuff" Hillman too, essentially wasting 2 roster spots for zero production. Starting him again this week too. The term is, "team killer", they keep promising production and just suck the life out week by week. The single worst thing a team killer does is have a good week. Be honest, a good week from CJ would buy him at least 2 more weeks after that of starting no matter what. What he will do is tease you with a decent game then bury you the next X weeks. Unfortunately there's no escape. You will never have the balls to drop him and after he teases with a good game when you bench him, he's right back in your lineup the next week.

mobb_deep 919 Posted September 25, 2015 The problem is not CJ. The problem is stupid Kubiak sticking Manning under center, and trying to open up the pass with the run. A 40 year old QB, who for over a decade has played in the pistol, and opened up the run with the play action pass. As a Lions fan, if CJ can't shred the Lions... we got some huge problems. The Lions have looked horrible against the run the first couple weeks. Both Melvin Gordan and AD shredded us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mobb_deep 919 Posted September 25, 2015 Melvin gordon shredded you? 14 carries 50 yards... Maybe I'm getting some of the Woodhead carries mixed in. I guess you would have had to watch (or in my case went) to the actual game. Regardless of that, the Detroit D looks bad, period. SD marched down the field with ease, the entire 2nd half. I originally chalked it up to the heat, as it was close to 110 at field level. But after watching them in Minny week 2, I think I can safely say the run D is a far cry from the last few seasons. It also doesn't help that our OL is Swiss cheese, and I expect us to be playing from behind pretty early. Just trying to be realistic here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mobb_deep 919 Posted September 25, 2015 Keenan Allen tore them up, not Gordon. I think we've established the entire D is bad. Maybe your son can move over and play DB for us? Regardless, I think CJ will have a big week and will be starting him with confidence. I think the problem with the run game was the play calling and Manning being under center. They staff seems to have realized Manning is better in the shotgun. If not, it won't be the first time I've been wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its tough because right now people are on the fence. If he hasa good game people will say I told you so and have faith again. but if he has another bad game everyone will jump ship and his value will be 0. Right now theres at least a chance you could get something like Woodhead etc. Maybe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DaBeerz 88 Posted September 25, 2015 Denver RB were on my DND list for a reason. Neither back is a spectacular RB. Combine that with some piss poor run blocking from their O-Line, CJ owners should start to feel the heat soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Combine that with some piss poor run blocking from their O-Line, CJ owners should start to feel the heat soon. A lot of it for me is psychology. If there's no or little money on the line, I tend to think in terms of what's going to make me feel like a bigger idiot if it goes wrong: cutting a top draft pick after two weeks, or hanging on one week extra and maybe losing a matchup? Dumping a guy too soon would burn me up for longer. But that's just me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tanatastic 2,061 Posted September 25, 2015 Just curious to know why it's OK for CJ to get grilled yet Gore has the same issues...POS LINE! Gore has passed the eye test so far and had that freak fumble. Plus the Colts are 0-2 and havent been in games to let the run game develop. CJ is on a 2-0 team that have had leads in the 2nd half, a situation that should always allow an rb to be at his best. Also Gore has not been outtouched outright by his backup lol.
