Apollo Creed 9 Posted August 31, 2018 Im moving im to the back end of the top 10 RBs in 2018. Will see alot of work and his touches should put him there but he wont be a Top 5 back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stonewall 647 Posted August 31, 2018 yeah.....but he's David Johnson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apollo Creed 9 Posted August 31, 2018 I have the 4th puck which I wanna put in the garbage disposal and it seems like Ill be in line for Zek, DJ or Kamara. Dont like either Dallas/Arz as teams, dallas oline is fallin apart, DJ schedule looks brutal. Im starting to lean towards Kamara Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted August 31, 2018 Let someone else have him then. I don't remember people being worried about this with AP when he was in his prime. AZ oline is improved this year from what I have read. Their qb isn't that bad. Hes good enough to keep defenses honest. They have some quality receivers also. I think the talk about how bad AZ is on offense is being overstated. Pass on him at your own peril. I only wish someone in my league had Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jgcrawfish 232 Posted August 31, 2018 he's consistently going in the 3-5 range, and I'm totally comfortable paying that price for him if I have that pick. The only guys anyone even talks about being on par with him are Gurley and Bell. That's pretty elite company. He's such a good pass catching back that bad offensive line actually benefits that part of his game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mullog 12 Posted August 31, 2018 yeah.....but he's David Johnson. Â This sums it up for me. The wrist injury was a fluke. He's going to tear it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I only wish someone in my league had   My biggest initial fear was Mike McCoy was going to stick with his tendency of not overloading his starting RB and giving more touches to Edmonds than most expected.  After reflecting a bit there earlier this month, there should be plenty of touches for DJ, plenty of targets for Fitz and 100 or so touches for Edmonds. The best thing: he's almost always good for 100 total yards. He should be a lock for 60-plus catches and is the GL back too. For what it is worth, the line blocked well for him this preseason.

aggiewildlife 0 Posted August 31, 2018 I just moved him UP to #2 ahead of Bell. Fresh legs, was #1 before injury, going to be solid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

American Chewy 98 Posted September 1, 2018 Had him 2nd on my board behind gurley. Should rebound big this yr. If you are drafting 4th or 5th and land him you should feel really good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thePRO 78 Posted September 1, 2018 Got the 5th pick in my BIG MAIN league. I'd be happy with DJ or Brown...I think a little happier with DJ though. Brown will most likely be the one at that 5th spot though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seafoam1 1,878 Posted September 1, 2018 People have short memories. Johnson is the premier back in this league. Bell is in a better team situation if he plays, but there is no comparing Johnson's talent with any other back in the league. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bell is in a better team situation if he plays, but there is no comparing Johnson's talent with any other back in the league. I was wondering why people were down on him and I think this might be the top reason. He has been out for a year and people forgot how dominant he was.

weepaws 2,451 Posted September 2, 2018 Lack of a Qb poor Oline and I don’t see any help after old man L fits.  That has a lot to do with it.  But it’s not people are listing him as a rb2 or something.  I think his best value is middle rb1.  Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â But its not people are listing him as a rb2 or something. Â I think his best value is middle rb1. Â Thanks. Love it. I wish I was in more leagues so I could take advantage of this thinking. After finishing as far and away the best rb two years ago, his best value is middle RB1. It doesn't make any sense weepaws.

weepaws 2,451 Posted September 2, 2018 I do to. Â This isnt two years ago. Â Yeah I think he will finish in a non ppr as a middle rb1. Â Right now I have him at number five. Â Thanks for the replay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crackills 19 Posted September 2, 2018 if DJ and Chuck Norris arm wrestled.. DJ would break off Chucks arm and beat him to death with his own arm.. that's how good DJ is! draft him! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beaker15 111 Posted September 3, 2018 I have pick # 2 in my 12 team ppr draft on Tuesday. Assuming Gurley goes first I was planning on taking Bell up until now with the hold out. Taking DJ now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Certainly no fan of his, I hate the Giants. I have hardly ever mentioned him in a post, lol DJ has a history alright, been in the league 3 years and been effective about 1 and a half Solid RB1 but there are a few others I would choose before him for the exact reasons in the title and I would add coming off serious injury There are certainly a couple of fanboys of his on here but I'll leave it at that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,061 Posted September 3, 2018 Palmer wasnt that good at that stage of his career last couple seasons. A mediocre Bradford is just as good or better. Even when he gets hurt and Rosen steps in, it cant be that much worse. The offense isnt much different as it was going to be last season when DJ was consensus no.1. They have decent young talent next to Fitz who is still good. I believe its an out of sight, out of mind situation. We didnt watch DJ play last year so people are scrambling for excuses to downgrade him. Â Hes draftable anywhere from 1-4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dude was absolutely boss that rookie year when they actually played him and followed it up with a godlike season. Then got hurt the next year. Your points are perfectly fine except the ineffective part. When hes been on the field, hes been the top player in fantasy. Hes back now and the injury was a fluke wrist, not a knee or ankle so theres no cause for concern there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
