Ok. So I have Adrian Peterson at RB1 and Eddie Lacy at RB2 so I'm set at starting RB. The problem presents itself at my Flex, currently I have Chris Johnson in my flex but he hasn't broke 10 points in his last 4 meetings vs the Texans and they held SD to 3.3 YPC last week. I don't want to overthink this but with Fitzgerald most likely out, does Roberts get more looks or without Fitz does he get more CB coverage? He's only found the endzone once in his last 9 games; however the league I'm in provides 0.5 points per reception (retarded I know but w/e).

If it helps, the guy I'm going against has T. Brady in at QB with a measly 13 points. Is Chris the safe play guaranteeing me 7 - 10 points or should I go with Roberts considering there is a good chance Fitz won't be playing and the Detriot secondary sucks along with the probability the game will be a shootout, meanwhile Johnson might not even get any carries in the second half if he is getting blown out.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
