Or is his new HC and OC not using him like they should? I got him 4th in my draft and he’s really been a HUGE letdown in my PPR league.

I have him also. Got to give him a few more games. Hopefully they get him more involved. Currently you won’t get much for trade and if you trade him and he gets back to form, you would kick yourself.

I'm not wanting to trade right now, but Ive got RBs on the bench who outscored him by 8 and 10 points this past week.

6.1 points from a starting RB in PPR is essentially like an injury during the first quarter.

I’ve got him in 2 leagues. Sucks so far but it is what it is.

The coaches have already stated this week that they must get DJ the ball. They will start lining him up in the slot too. I think they will have to go to Rosen soon, who I think will lean on DJ.

How can someone that has had 1 bad game in 2 weeks be a huge letdown in your league? I understand you're worried but let it play out.

Theyve acknowledged they have to get him the ball. I personally, think well see one more week of Bradford because they dont want Mack to eat Rosen on his first start. They'll wait and let him start at home against the Hawks.

Please bench him.

If you start a thread about this, then bench your first round pick, he’s guaranteed to go off and make you look like an idiot, and all us other DJ owners will reap the benefits

Where it will start, Wilks indicated in his day-after meeting with the media, is not with a quarterback change but with a renewed emphasis on being “creative” in using star running back David Johnson.

“We talked about that,” Wilks said about conversations he had with coordinator Mike McCoy and the offensive staff. “We’ve got to utilize David from the standpoint of getting him out of the backfield, putting him in the slot, putting him out there to try and create that matchup that we need.

“David is very effective when he is out in space, so we have to start utilizing him in those particular matters.”

The Cardinals have a totally different coaching staff, but Wilks made clear getting Johnson more involved was a priority.

“You have to be able to adapt in this league, so we’re looking to make changes, we’re looking to make this thing better,” Wilks said.



They are saying the right things, but it took them all offseason and two games to figure this out

Didn’t he have like 18 points week 1 and go against the Rams with probably the best defense in week 2? That’s not bust material.
