getting to be that time again. My main concern is CJohnson for the Titans. For weeks 15 and 16 I don't see him playing at all. We are in a keeper league and I lose a 10th rounder if I keep him, so his value is higher this year compared to his stats alone. We also have RWhite (11th round) that we are thinking of keeping. Should we trade CJohnson?

6pts/TD, .5 per carry, PPR

why don't you think he'll play? Fisher has said he'll be using his starters all season, regardless of record.

I am a bit worried about him wearing down, but given that they've platooned him with lendale, I imagine he'll be better prepared to manage the wall most rookies hit.

don't you have other good RB's to play if you don't like his matchup or don't want to chance it?

how many keepers do y'all have and who would be his replacement as one of your keepers?

if they clinch, I have a hard time thinking Fisher will use his starters full tilt.

We can keep one guy
CJ (lose a 10th rounder)
RWhite (11th)
Brady (8th round)

Someone dropped Brady and any WW pickups during the season results in a 8th rounder lost, if you keep that person.

who are your starters gonna be the rest of the season at RB?

we start 2, but can add a third for a flex

Jax
Portis
MJD
CJohnson

MJD has been on fire, but the other two are questionable right now with their health.

I wouldn't be against shopping Chris Johnson to see what you could get. But I'd have to get a hell of a lot to give up his keeper value.

who would you be targeting if you could?

after looking there really isn't RB's that would make sense. I thought about CJohnson and Cotchery for Bolden, but that would leave me paper thin at RB.

who would you start at flex if you can only start 2 RB's (presuming portis and whatever combo of jax, cj or mjd)?

personally, I think you may be overthinking this a bit too much. yeah, it'd be great to have a guy you know will play, but honestly, i still think cj will play about as much as he has, whether they are playing for 16-0 or not. I think Fisher knows you can't take the pedal off the gas, regardless of your record, or you risk ruining your team's momentum. it's good to consider these things, and if a good deal is available, take it. but otherwise, i think you have enough pieces where you'll have at least 2 solid starters any given week.

just thinking outloud. With Jax out (I am waiting for them to announce he's done for the year) and Portis a little gimpy, I'll probably stick with CJ.
