No, He cannot.

He is the most hated person in fantasy sports this year.

Yeah. I'm surprised he was unowned even before today.

LOL I hope you're not serious. He can have some cheeseburgers, but he is getting no love for me. Minus that 80 yard, fluke run, he had another mediocre day with 2 vultured TDs. Enjoy him sinced you have him, but he is not talented.

From Rotoworld:

LenDale White ate up 149 yards and three touchdowns on 17 carries in Week 7 against the Chiefs.

I love it.

i really hate that fat a$$ lenwhale, vulturing two tds from CJ...the Titans should just realize CJ can do it all, he can run up the middle, he can run outside, STOP GIVING LENWHALE GOAL LINE CARRIES.

Sadly, as long as it keeps working, they aren't going to change anything.

Tried to get him cheap from the last place team this week, no dice. It would have been awesome to have that production today.
muslimman
Haha some the posts on here are hilarious... laugh.gif ... LenWhale!
And no he doesnt get any love, everyone here at Rotoworld lives by the NOFATCHIX (also applies to RBs) motto!

Unfortunately, it makes sense for the Titans to keep using White i short yardage in order to keep CJ fresh. Sometimes real football doesn't work on fantasy rules.
Biggz
Sell High - Try and get Reggie Bush.....too soon?
HardBall
White is getting half the carries on a run heavy team and getting most of the goal line carries. He has now scored 8 TDs. That is no joke. White has my attention, especially with Adaii on the bench.
whiskeyriver
Unlike a good number of RBs in this league, Lendale converts on the goal line. THE END.
TheJRod2006
Glad to see Im not the only person who hates LenDale and that stupid little fat dance he does when he scores a TD.

Frustrating as a CJ owner, but thankfully he broke one as well in garbage time

All CJ owners hate LenWhale..including me lol.

Tenn runs. It's what they do. Until Gage comes back, healthy, the offense is out of Collins hands. Think Jags with the two-headed monster of MJD and Taylor with Garrard playing mistake-free football.

This isn't just a trend, it's a staple. CJ runs, Whale leeches; repeat. White will run for the harder up the middle rushes with CJ having the edges to be explosive.

Must be disheartening for former Whale owners and current Johnson owners to see Lendale get 8 TDs, which is one more than last year's 7.

He has been converting against some bad teams though. The schedule does look pretty easy from here on out, so the success should be sustainable (unfortunately for us CJ owners). I still don't now how he busted off that 80 yarder. I was watching it, and while I'm sure he started to slow up towards the goalline, it looks like he would have been caught from behind if they played on a 105 yard field.

That might of been 2 more then they needed. With the way they ran the ball I'm not even sure why you air it out... J/K

WOW... How fast people forget about the previous year.

White was a STUD last year.

I'm more upset that CJ is vulturing opportunites from White than the other way around, LOL.

Absolutely no love because he just plain out is not good.

I can't believe how much hate there is for LenDale White. How many of you who are saying he is fat and without talent have ever even gotten anywhere near being on an NFL roster, much less being a vital component of the sole remaining undefeated team in the NFL? How many of you have scored a single TD in any level of football beyond high school, much less 8 in 6 NFL games?

I think everyone who thinks LenDale hurts Chris Johnson's value are extremely deluded. If Chris Johnson were the sole RB whom the Titans felt comfortable giving the ball, the guy who had to convert on 3rd and one and in goal line situations, they guy who had to consisistently run between the tackles as well as attack the edges, I think the likelihood he gets injured or hits a rookie wall sooner rather than later becomes much greater. Also runners whose main weapon is their speed more often than not benefit from having a big, bruising, physical backfield partner who softens up the defense for him. In the particular case of LenDale, his bruising style was an underrated factor in Reggie Bush's success at USC, just as from reading this board it is apparently an underrated or even completely dismissed factor in CJ's success. Remember how poorly Bush did last year after Duece went down? Don't be so confident that losing LenDale would automatically make CJ better.

If I somehow got to the NFL level and was Lendale White I was sign my contract and pretend to be injured for the length of my contract, for the plain fact that I embarass myself on every play.

BTW: If nobody criticized anyone else for the job they do we would alll be living in one chaotic world. I don't see the point of your rant about comparing non NFL players to an NFL player. None of us have ever been president but it is still healthy for him to be criticized by all of us. He plays a position that values speed, quickness, strength, awareness, and patience. He sports none of those characteristics when running the ball except for maybe patience, but that is yet to be determined because anyone that is that slow to actually get to a hole is probably not being patient, they are simply that slow to get to a hole. He is a sack of potatoes in a baby blue clothing. Someone tells him to run straight through there and then the offensive line does a great job making sure that they don't get hit from behind by that sack of potatoes. That is how the Titans offense works when Lendale White is handed the ball.

You are right, one of the points of this board is to critique NFL players. Nevertheless I think calling any NFL player a no-talent, fat whale is going a bit far. In the case of our President we all, individually and collectively, are responsible for evaluating his performance. In the case of football players we are merely amusing oursleves by sharing opinions. Those whose opinions do matter in the case of LenDale, the people who decided to offer him a scholarship to USC and draft him in the NFL, quite obviously seem to disagree with the assesment that LenDale is without talent. And while LenDale to your eye may possess non of the qualities of a good NFL running back, it is also hard to argue with results. He does lead the NFL in rushing TDs while having played one less game than quite a few of his competitors. Now one might argue those TDs are earned by CJ or the Titans line, and while I am quite sure that they contribute heavily to the scoring of those TDs, the fact remains, LenDale is the one scoring them and his coaches have enough belief in his talent and abilities to continue giving him the opportunity to score those TDs.

Of course you did not really respond to my main point, that LenDale rather than hurt CJ actually helps him. It is pretty clear, at least to me, that the combination of LenDale and CJ is better than either one of them would be were he the Titans sole RB.

I am not sure whether Lendale hurts or helps CJ, so I have never stated anything on that topics before. I hated Lendale before CJ came into the picture for other reasons that I stated above. It is honestly hard to determine whether CJ would do better without Lendale or worse. It is hard to imagine CJ would do worse but Lendale does help keep his legs fresh and from taking too many hits. He does vulture some TDs away from CJ, if I were personally the coach I would give the ball on the goal line to whoever helped move them down the field the most ont hat particular drive. All RBs love to score TDs, it has to be kind of frustrating for CJ to run 50 yards down the field and then the coach hand the ball over to Lendale to punch it in from the 2 but then again, it is a team game and Lendale has the weight on his side to be able to lazily collapse into the endzone at any given time. smile.gif

Back to Lendale, yesterday should be taken worth a grain of salt. In previous games this year and last year, when he faces a decent run defense he simply does not move the ball. He fails to break anything open mostly because he is similar to that of a full back. I have watched Lendale carry the ball 2 straight times and pick up 2 yards and then CJ come in and break off a 20 yarder. Lendale's faults are every other successful RBs strengths; hit the hole quick and hard, elusiveness, and the speed to finish it off. It would be interesting to see Lendale go to a team with a mediocre O-line. It would be hard to imagine Lendale being successful. But overall at this point of his career, he is a successful RB that has carved himself a place on a team. Was he lucky to get there? I don't know. I fail to see the skill level to make him a skilled RB but he has made it this far.

Love this guy! Although this song was written many years ago I am pretty sure they had Lendale on their mind when they sat down to write it

GIVE ME THAT DONKEY BUTT

Best Goalline back in the league.

O he sick
Sillywabbit
I honestly don't think Lendale's jiggly belly would have crossed an NFL goalline w/out the success of his USC teammates... IE Reggie Bush, Leinart, (hell, the rest of that great college team)... and the EPIC title game vs. Vince Young and the Texas longhorns.

I had FWP when he had numerous TD's given to The Bus... I have CJ this year,... and other than Reggie B runing buck wild on his college competition only to give FAT BOY the glory, I can't remember having a RB get screwed out of so many points.

PART 2...

Is Jamal Lewis (and his tip toe through the tulips @ 230+LBS) less a RB than FAT BOY?... Talk about a "perfect storm" for Lendale owners!!!

Some?? I think Landwhale is a huge detriment to CJ's value. They could plug in any decent RB to give CJ breathers and keep his legs fresh, and it wouldn't always have to be inside the 10 yard line. I can only imagine how studly CJ would be if he was getting goalline carries, I'm afraid imagining is all I'm gonna be doing this year. Luckily he's so good he's still a solid RB2 even without the goalline carries.

Unfortunately for you and every other CJ owner, is that Jeff Fisher is licking his chops at a 7-0 start instead of pleasing countless fantasy football managers. I'm not sure if it was the first or 2nd TD, but Lendale reaching for the goal line 4-5 yards out was an amazing TD.
whiskeyriver
People can shut the hell up about Lendale being a fatso, that he sucks, etc. etc. Dude just scores. He gets into the end zone. Period. The end. That's more than can be said about a crap-ton of other feature or "goal line" backs in the league.

Chris Johnson is super talented and the best true RB on that team. Lendale pounds it into the end zone and is a useful real-life-football (as opposed to fantasy) tool for the real life Titans to use in real life. Real life.

But hey! Turns out Lendale also happens to be super useful in leagues where TDs are a big point source. Hell, I'll take 12 points per week from my RB3 ANY DAY OF THE WEEK (which is what he's averaging in my league through 8 weeks).

I think it's quite obvious that Fisher has the whale on his fantasy team.

That was a really nice TD. My favorite part was when he stumbled trying to get to the outside with nobody touching him....It was a great effort though. Lendale has all my respect.
