BrokeLoser 192 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I've decided that anyone starting this guy this week must push their balls around in a wheelbarrow. Link to post Share on other sites

SharkSwimmer 4,953 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I'm down big after Thursday night's stinker. I need to roll the dice on a potential 40+ yard TD run. Dwayne's the man I am going with in the flex. Rams are missing a lot of guys... Link to post Share on other sites

Three other defensive lineman were limited on Friday so check the inactive list. Link to post Share on other sites

Shoot out between Stafford and Keenum should be a real doozy! Link to post Share on other sites
CyberneticGhostOfXMasPast 4,135 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 the talent is there for a takeover zenner is Zenner, Theo is hurt, Forsett sucks ... if he was healthy I think this guy would be a "must add" by a lot more people Link to post Share on other sites

I am considering going without a Jordan Reed replacement to keep Dwayne on the roster. He will have time to heal up and you really want a guy line this to take over the reigns by week 8 or 9 or after his bye. Link to post Share on other sites
CyberneticGhostOfXMasPast 4,135 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 i honestly think he's in a better position going forward than a back like latavius murray ... detroit has no-one near as good as washington/richard to keep washington off the field - health permitting Link to post Share on other sites
Trifecta 2,139 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 On NFL.com, Forsett has 9,248 recent adds and is now just under 60% owned. Dwayne train is sitting at 1.7% owned with 1,384 recent adds. Could this many people be wrong? *adds Dwayne Washington for 2nd time this season* Link to post Share on other sites

CyberneticGhostOfXMasPast 4,135 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 forsett may be the better week 6 add, washington is the back to own going forward forsett is garbage and the only reason washington isn't getting any more hype is recency bias ... he's still the freak athlete that fared pretty well vs a dominant defense before going down. he's on the way back ... long term, the add is washington and i don't think thats even debatable.

Red Dog 484 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) Bum wheels have a habit of going flat. Forsett is being added because he will be the feature RB this week for Detroit. He'll play the Riddick role (albeit smaller) and Washington will spell him for a blow. Washington is still trying to learn the nuances of the game, and is still very raw. Agree he's a better long term add than Forsett. Edited October 15, 2016 by Red Dog Link to post Share on other sites
frog34 982 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I'm rooting for D-Wash to impress this week. It's a huge opportunity with Riddick out and not doing very well in terms of rushing. If D-Wash shows he can pound it against the Rams, Riddick will go back to what he does best, which is catching passes. Win-Win. Both would be great weekly flex options with RB2 upside.

Washington is still trying to learn the nuances of the game, and is still very raw. Agree he's a better long term add than Forsett. Referring to Forsett as "the feature back" is a bit of a stretch. He most certainly will not be "featured", and the Riddick role is not one that can be learned in one week. He's a desperation substitute for Detroit. They'll be happy if he can provide some semblance of a running game, and that's only if Washington can't go. If Washington can play, Forsett will be used to give him a breather and catch a couple passes. The most likely scenario is that neither Washington or Forsett will likely do much as Stafford throws 50 times. Link to post Share on other sites

Now we know what percentage of people playing on NFL.com are novices (60%) and what percentage are sharps (1.7%). Seems just about right. Link to post Share on other sites
CletisVanDamme 334 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 If healthy how does DET not give this guy 20+ touches and see what they really have in him? In the few opportunities he's had so far this season he's done nothing but good things..no reason to not test him out under a feature role Link to post Share on other sites
dabeesta17 2,509 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Bottomline no matter how you try and slice it and dress it up: Forsett 2014 (breakout year): 5.4 yards/carry Forsett 2015: 4.2 yards/carry Forsett 2016: 3.2 yards/carry and cut by the Ravens He also just turned 31. A healthy, active Washington will get a decent workload, but its the HEALTHY part that is concerning and unknown. Link to post Share on other sites
BugzBunny101 82 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Owned Abdullah and now own washington. I do not own forsett. I honestly dont understand this over the top hype at all. Washington is pretty talented player, i can agree with that. But the lions are absolutely idiotic. They'll give forsett more touches than washington this week. Link to post Share on other sites

Also I'm assuming his ownership is propped up by inactive leagues where he was never dropped despite being cut by the Ravens. Link to post Share on other sites
