Mathews is fully healthy this week and plays the Jags

CJ2K goes up against the 49ers.

Nothing Ive seen so far leads me to believe CJ2K will do anything but disappoint

Standard scoring

I hate Chris Johnson so no.

Honestly it's what you need out of that back. If all you are looking for is 12-15 points then Matthews easily. If you are looking for 20+ and don't mind taking 5 points the CJ.

I would have an equal lack of faith in both.

So I'd play matchup here.

I think CJ0K will be worse against the 9ers than Matthews will be against the Jags.

I have both Mathews and CJ2k and am starting Brandon Jacobs over both? Is that crazy?

excluding BYE, he will not score less than 10 points the rest of the season

Why is this? He's been down right awful.
He hasn't even had a 100 yard rushing game all season and last week he only had 33 yards vs the seahawks.. now he faces the niners..


Also, his 3.1 yards per carry ranks last among backs with at least 100 carries.

you serious?

He sucks, Greene is coming back, unless CJ.9k scores from outside 30 yards he will have 0 tds this year

I have him, and hadn't really even started him for 4 weeks...

I looked over his career

sept-4.0 avg
Oct-4.5 avg
Nov-5.5 avg
dec-4.5 avg


last year first 4 games
46 ypg, 3.2 avg
..he starts slow, defs start to get winded and injured....then he starts breaking shite.

he would have been great the first few weeks had they used him in the passing game....he was getting touches...it should right itself shortly.

I was hoping he'd show up for SF....but i feel good about him down the stretch with the much easier run schedule.

Hey gotta say good call on Chris Johnson.. even against the niners he already has his highest total on the season.. but not even from running. Great call man..

Luckily my team played well with him on the bench I am up 107-38 and my opponent has Manning and Welker left. I would hope that is enough of a lead to get the win..

I benched him for Deangelo Williams because CJ has been awful and because of the matchup. He gives me a big frick you with his best game of the season.
