joeshushu 51 Posted October 17, 2018 I have Lindsey and with my two best WR JJ and Adams on byes you bet he is in my lineup. As a matter of fact, I may have 3 RBs going this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BufordT 376 Posted October 17, 2018 Freeman will eventually assert himself as the lead back in the near future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,516 Posted October 17, 2018 I would agree about Freeman being the rb1 on the Broncos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stonewall 647 Posted October 17, 2018 How smart of a move this would be, would of course depend on ones Rbs situation. Well, technically, it would depend on how well Freeman and Lindsay perform Thursday, irregardless of one's RB situation........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now the end result which is after the game will give us the final answer if it was worth it. But for someone to have the nads to start both I think would depend on either if they need to or if they think its their best option. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bier Meister 1,532 Posted October 17, 2018 don't we try to start the players we believe will score the most points? each owner has to weight their risk/reward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stonewall 647 Posted October 17, 2018 don't we try to start the players we believe will score the most points? each owner has to weight their risk/reward. Of course...but sometimes matchups dictate that one considers starting what they believe to be an inferior player over a generally better one, who has a tougher matchup......then watch it blow up in your face, of course.

stonewall 647 Posted October 17, 2018 .... like i said. No, you forgot the "blow up in your face part". Quite important. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bier Meister 1,532 Posted October 17, 2018 No, you forgot the "blow up in your face part". Quite important. you need to assess your risk/reward. are looking for the consistent 10 pt performance, or the potential home run? you have to weigh your options and choose. there is always probability involved, and at the end of the day any of it could blow up. you could be starting alfred morris on a monday night where breida is not supposed to play much and alf on is in for 1 play. you can take a risk on albert wilson vs a very good chi defense and he can get you 30+ pts. there is a standard deviation, and there will always be outliers.

Hardcore troubadour 12,958 Posted October 17, 2018 Lindsay goes 190. There aren't too many RB's that weight who can handle a load all season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoBucky1 2 Posted October 17, 2018 I have Freeman in our auction league but have considered dropping him to use the money elsewhere. Do you guys really think he'll eventually take the #1 spot? The coach said 2 weeks ago that hes going to get more carries and he got 5 carries the next game to Lindsay's 12. Granted, they were down 21-10 at the half.

Hardcore troubadour 12,958 Posted October 17, 2018 Last chance for RF. I'm out if he doesn't get it done. L Murray just tore up Arizona. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crystal Meth Tweekers 26 Posted October 17, 2018 I had Freeman in a 10 team league. He was my RB4 or RB5. I cut him for Ito the judge!! I was tired of waiting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bier Meister 1,532 Posted October 17, 2018 in general, it appears that lindsey is outperforming freeman (plus he is used in the passing game), but I do not think den will stop using freeman. Would you drop Ekeler, Ito, or Aaron Jones for Freeman? i would not drop ekeler in ppr, ito still plays a role even with coleman and injured freeman (especially now on ir). Jones is curious as he runs well, then gbp stop using him. seems as if they used him for full games he would be decent start/flex. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardcore troubadour 12,958 Posted October 17, 2018 Don't tell Warrick Dunn......he might have made it 13 seasons instead of 12. Well if we go back to the 1950's I'm sure we'll find some 150 pound ones too. Plus Allstot fornthe heavy lifting. And Pittman. And others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Loved Alstott....but Dunn did have 64 TD's and at least 200 carries in 8 seasons. Not saying that Lindsay will ever be a stud, but am saying that his size doesn't preclude the possibility.....as also proven by Ray Rice and Chris Johnson, who were also comparable in weight. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beaker15 123 Posted October 18, 2018 Freeman still the best rb in Denver but Lindsay is good too. Denver needs to use them more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,516 Posted October 18, 2018 I haven’t seen enough of either one to say who’s the best rb on the Broncos. It’s still a surprise that Lindsay has played so much. Once Freeman over took Booker everything pointed towards him being the rb1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stonewall 647 Posted October 19, 2018 Worked out......but Lindsay isn't going anywhere. He has something special. I'll continue to have to hold both, and start Lindsay each week in the flex. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,061 Posted October 19, 2018 Lindsey is electric every time he touches the ball it seems. Freeman is JAG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
track 1 16 Posted October 19, 2018 Lindsay should get 90 percent of the snaps. this is the first time watching him play and he is clearly better than every rb on the broncos. i missed out on picking up lindsay week 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil Simms 11 127 Posted October 19, 2018 As an owner of both I dont mind this news, Lindsay about to take off. Now if someone could get Williams in GB to miss a few games, signed A Jones owner 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stonewall 647 Posted October 19, 2018 Lindsay is JAG and if Freeman is out next week he will get exposed as such. This was my opinion after week one......but after watching him play the last few weeks, I disagree. I expect him to be a low RB1 while Freeman is out.

jrokh 571 Posted October 19, 2018 I don't know if he can handle 20+ carries but he is an explosive runner who is nowhere near a JAG. Freeman is closer to JAG status. Not a Lindsey owner either Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,061 Posted October 19, 2018 Lindsay is JAG and if Freeman is out next week he will get exposed as such. Every time he touches the ball hes electric, thats not being JAG. Freeman is the very definition of JAG and has shown absolutely nothing special in the regular season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stonewall 647 Posted October 19, 2018 HC now saying that Freeman is just day-to-day with the ankle.....so, perhaps not a high ankle after all. From a FF standpoint, was actually hoping he would miss multiple weeks so I could move on, but as a Lindsay owner, I feel compelled to hold now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
