David Johnson - Code Red Panic? - Traded to Houston

[grandmabetty]

If you're trying to buy him, now is the time, before this weekend's game.

Ive been hearing this for weeks now. "This weekend he'll explode"...... i have my doubts at this point. That being said I wont be selling him low. As others have said if you want to be a buyer now is the time to try. His value could get lower but it could also go up too. All it takes is a few games in either direction. One has to be hopeful that Leftwhich will make a difference. I expect him to be better next year.

"As others have said", you mean like me? The person you are replying too?

This is the first time I have said this is the game he will show out, because this is the first weekend actual change has occurred.

you are not the only person discussing david Johnson. this isn't even the only thread on the subject on this forum never mind the rest of cyberspace. I used your phrase to articulate the sentiment I have been hearing all year about david Johnson. As an owner of him in 2 leagues I hope im wrong

I'm not trying to attack you, it just sounded funny. You were replying to my comment where I said this is the time to buy, and saying "as others have said now is the time to buy". I've got him a few places too and I hope he shines this weekend, I'm hopeful.

He's baaaaaaaaaaaack!

I'm not expecting it every week, but I was so happy to see Sunday's stat line! I don't think he's a top 3 dynasty RB, but he's an RB1 just like that.

There was a good buy low window. DJ is looking like he has league winning upside down the stretch.

Glad Leftwich has taken over. How you screw up so badly with DJ i have no idea.

I dunno whats worse; McCoy's coaching or that stupid visor.

Traded my late first, and 2nd, Baldwin and Collins for DJ and his early 3rd 2 weeks ago. I feel really good after last week. DJ and Gordon propelled me to a win with no Green, Thielen, and Hopkins last week. Everyone says he has one of the best schedules rest of season, so here is hoping. It think DJ can be a player like McCoy, who is still relevant to age 30. The pass catching helps.

Mike McCoy:
"Run it up the gut"
"Do it again!"
Some months later.....
"What do you mean it didn't work the first hundred times?!"
"Run it up the gut again, we'll wear them down yet!"

Mccoy is just a horrible OC.

A game against the Chiefs can certainly help pad a RBs numbers. I'd hold off on calling him a potential league winner simply due to the coaching change. The outlook is better but the biggest problem of having a talent deprived offense still exists

[jetsfan5757]

I'm worried he might disappear in some really bad games, but I think the upside is back. If they do feed him 20 times a game, something good has to happen...

[grandmabetty]

im not ready to call him a league winner yet but the bust stigma that was around him earlier in the year is long gone. He may have some games where he scores around 10-15 points the remainder of the year but I expect him to produce top 7 RB numbers the rest of the way out as an average. He's RB10 right now in my league and you could argue hes only had one high point output all year. The best is yet to come

The best thing about DJ is, both before and after the OC change, I don't think there's a single player in the league that get's a higher usage than him inside the 20 and inside the 10. Obviously the issue is the Cardinals getting inside the 20 and 10 in the first place, but when they do, they feed DJ like nobody else and he gets a lot of the TDs as a result.

Inside the 20: 51 plays, 13 TDs... DJ the target on 26 plays (50.9%), 8 TDs (61.5%)
Inside the 10: 33 plays, 09 TDs... DJ the target on 19 plays (57.6%), 7 TDs (77.8%)
