I would draft him after McFadden forte foster rice McCoy and maybe Murray.


I agree taking foster, McCoy and Rice over Johnson. I would not take McFadden or Murray over him. McFadden can't even get out of bed without getting injured.

Forte, I could go either way on. I love backs who double as receivers, especially in PPR leagues. Now that Cutler has marhsall, they could pass the ball more, especially to keep up with Green Bay and Detroit.

Then why are you such an advocate of tagging players as injury prone?

Injuries =/= statistics

There have been plenty of mentions of McFaddens draft stock in regards to his inability to play 16 games.

That being said, i would take him as the 4th or 5th rb off the board.

Monster! Definitely looked worthy of a 1st- or 2nd-round pick. I think I even saw Vince Wilfork chase him down from behind a couple times. Can you say, "Beast mode!"

Lol you can put the bow on all you want but in a competitive league, he probably cost somebody 2 games. If you start off like that you usually have no leeway unless somebody gets hot for you that you didn't suspect or you pick that FA monster.

I was reminded of this thread during a CJ discussion today. Thought I'd bump it one last time for all the haters. CJ finished as the 13th best fantasy RB last year (LINK so I think 18-25 was a pretty fair draft position for him.

He was definitely hit or miss. I think he's a good late 2nd/early 3rd pick as a RB2 this year. Tennessee did just draft Chance Warmack to help out that O-line. My one concern would be Shonn Greene cutting in to goal line work, but I passed on him in every league in '09 due to the scare of Lendale White stealing carries and look how that turned out.

Dude was 4 points off being a RB1 in 12 team leagues and 20 points away from cracking the top 10.

You sound like a haterz bro
