Is there anyone left who thinks he will bounce back and have a great year? (standard scoring)



I rolled the dice and took him over Doug Martin, Ellington, Gerhart, Bush, R. Mathews, Spiller


Hopefully the season is more of than

Foster is a perfect fit for Bill O Brien's offense. If he stays healthy (250 carries/60 receptions) he easily puts up top 8 RB numbers.

I like the chances of him having a bounce back year but it might be worth it for you to take a look at handcuffing his backup Grimes.

Snagged him. Was going to even take Blue... but for some reason (LSU homer I guess) he was drafted before I could take him.

I'm steering clear of Foster unless he falls to the 4th. Good luck though.

Which format? Which pick did you draft him at?

I think he's the ultimate boom/bust guy this year. His ceiling in that offense is very high. His floor with injury issues/committment to playing football in general is very low. You feelin' lucky?

20 team standard scoring

pick #24

I was going RB-RB no matter what in a 20 person league. Took Murray at #17.

It's risky, but if it works out you will most likely make the playoffs with those two...if they stay healthy.

Plus Foster is already talking about life after football.

pisses me off when people draft backups from teams they don't have the starting RB from.
Draft your backup, not someone else's.

I do not have the balls to take him, but you have to like the fact that you drafted the potential #1 overall player at pick #24.

But if I draft the backup of an injury prone starter, preventing another owner in my league from drafting said backup, is it not increasing my chances to win by making the other guys team weaker?

Well I think Grimes is likely the backup. Even if they think Blue and Grimes are equal I'm not sure they hand the rock to the rookie if Foster goes down.

I assumed I was the only person who would even consider drafting Blue....
