crzy's Dynasty Football League (League Closed)

GameOver is on the sundial.

Wow, I think the last few picks have been all great calls. Good job guys. Drew Brees was a fantastic pick. Randy Moss as well.

Brandon Jacobs is a good pick as well. With no WR to throw to, Giants may be running a lot more. There are couple issues with Jacobs though: Injuries and catches.

Injuries is what I worry about Jacobs.

No Plaxico = the Giants using the ground game more

But that also means Jacobs will take more beating. They lost Derrick Ward but do still have Bradshaw. Jacobs' body seems to have a lot of wear and tear. But for the games he is in, he will give you some good numbers.

That is very true, but really, Jacobs with his style of running is bound to get injured. More carries also increase the likelihood of injury. It was a good pick, but I've some reservations about Jacobs. Also, DeAngelo Williams won't catch more than 25 passes all year. I'll get into DeAngelo Williams later, but this is the reason why I think Slaton and Chris Johnson are much better running backs for this league.

The dude is massive. I'm not worried about that. He can take a full football season. Now as for keeping him? That may affect it, yes. Just like Gore with us, everyone says he takes so much wear and tear..but he keeps putting up monster numbers. And thats all that matters, IMO.

Exactlyyy! More carries for a running back like Turner or Drew is great, because they are least likely to get injured due to their height (low pad level, they take the least amount of body blows) and they are built like trucks.

More carries for Gore, Jacobs, Portis, Westbrooke - not so much. Injury prone guys, who are more effective with fewer carries as season goes on.

The scariest thing about Jacobs is because he is so big and tall, CBs go for his legs because there is no way in hell they can tackle him down any other way and he's had some legs issues in the past.

Except, he hasn't been able to. Missed 8 games in last two seasons - that's 1 game in every 4 games. Not to mention, he is nicked up pretty good in the games he has played as well.

With no-one to cover in the passing game, 8 men in the box consistently.

Not like its ever been any different w/ him? It works that way w/ any big RB..or any GOOD RB.

8 men in the box or not, I see his carries going up w/o Plaxico.

Yeup, even linebackers are starting to do that. And, though he may not injure his shoulder or back, he takes a lot of hits to his upper body as well even when he knocks the defense down. So, shoulders and back do get stiff as the season goes along, and he tends to run more upright.

Not true at all. Several good RBs have stayed consistently healthy. You don't put up 1300 yards year after year unless you play 15-16 games every year. This is why, Jacobs will hover around 1000-1100 yards because he will miss 3-4 games a season. Where he makes up for it is, TDs - but without passing game - that should drop as well this year (fewer snaps at goal-line).

I'm not denying his carries going up. But, I don't think it will result in more fantasy points. Anyway, it is a good pick. Not knocking on your pick, we are just talkin' about concerns with Jacobs.
