WaiverLooter 931 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 He barely got any receiving work, which was supposed to be his floor. Lost pretty much all receiving work to Dare and to rub salt in the wound, lost out on a receiving td to Barber. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mmiller186 212 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 What are we doing with this Joker? I dont trust Arians, I dont trust Jameis as he rarely checks down or just doesn't get how to. The defense is incapable of stopping any offense, so theres no running out the clock... its Jameis bombing it downfield to play try and play catchup. I scooped him off waivers a few weeks ago and I feel I got fooled, hes my problem now... thinking of dropping for a hopefully higher upside player or to block my opponent from another player.

I'm holding him because this is exactly the kind of player I would drop and then some bozo will play him against me and he'll score 30 points. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kraftwrk_5 656 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I'm willing to give him a mulligan for last week. Tough matchup, and was unusual to see the Bucs have to abandon the run so early and give so few touches to RoJo. He still out-touched Barber. Better days will be ahead ROS.

But I overspent on FAAB so I'm a little biased. Still, he's been up and down, and this game has the highest O/U. I'm playing without confidence, but playing nonetheless.

Looks like Dare is the permanent receiving back and Barber and Jones are splitting the work. If this is the case, why not just go for a piece of the Colts running backs with either Wilkins or Williams this week? It's the exact same type of split with Williams, Wilkins and Hines but the Colts receivers are banged up and Indy will be forced to run it more. Also all of a sudden, that ATL defense has looked very stout for whatever reason. I'm not liking his prospects this week.

I'm pretty stacked at RB, so he's mostly been just a bye-week flex option for me. But not quite ready to pull the trigger and drop him yet either. I think he could be a useful plug-and-play for some of the weeks coming up, particularly in PPR and as he hopefully gets more work in the passing game - none of the upcoming matchups are especially prohibitive ROS. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I blew my FAAB on him for bye week start and ROS stash he gave me 30pts vs ARI, his snaps went down to 31% against NO, he gets less than 5pts on my bench and dropped him today for hines. The Saints game reminded me that u cannot reliably predict the utilization of the bucs rotation with Arians/leftwich. It would take a barber/odare injury before I trust Rojo in my lineup. But then I could change my mind again 😂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Probably the second most costly fumble in terms of playing time this season behind Shady's vs Green bay. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sjm76 769 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) Coach Arians keeps yanking Jones' chain. TB is basically out of it this year so just give Jones consistent playing time down the stretch to see if he can be the main guy next year. We already know what Peyton Barber is which is an average, backup-type rb. It doesn't make any sense. One fumble shouldn't keep Jones in the doghouse for 2 games.

I agree 100% but these coaches dont see it that way, forking idiots. I feel like Arians and Freddy Bathrooms are related... try to get cute and feel like a genius if it works out.

Why would Winston dump off when on any given play there’s anywhere between 7-11 players downfield to throw the ball to? 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NBatum88 2,187 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I would bench him if you have other options. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mmiller186 212 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I dropped him... then picked him back up... staying on the bench until I see more. I just dont trust Bruce or Jameis and probably wont. Matchup's not bad and I could see him having a good day but I cant take that gamble in a must win. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nb009 932 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Annoying to see him getting pulled at the goal line despite being on the drive prior to. At least he stayed in for the 1 TD he did get. The risk in playing Jones is he will be a non factor in any game where the Bucs fall by a lot early, which can easily happen with Jameis as QB.

TomBradyDaGOAT 258 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 RB17 averaging 12.6 per game in .05PPR since before week 9 (when Arians declared him the starter) Puts RoJo in RB2 range for all leagues. Decent to easy schedule ROS. Hopefully the young bull can keep it going and finish the year on a high note. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
