drop Carr. Youll likely be able to pick up a streaming QB on Cam's bye week.

I sure hope David Carr isn't on your team. If he is, drop him. :v: (Says the guy who had to watch Carr get killed for years in Houston).

I wouldn't. Washington is probably more talented, in a better offense, and more likely to have stand alone value. I honestly don't know why anyone gives a poo poo who McCoy's handcuff is. If he gets hurt that offense is not going to be one in which any sane person should be trying to invest

The Bills have a mediocre defense coached by a guy who has literally had one good defense in the 20 years he's been a coach. They're not going to be the ground and pound milk-clock running game-and-defense team they want to be. They're going to get scored on and they're going to have to pass and they won't be good at it. The only reason why anyone should have any shares in the Bills offense is because Watkins and McCoy are Good Football Players. If one or either goes down, that offense is going to sputter and be mediocre at best so save your lottery tickets for players who might actually help you and not give you a <10 point floor that you're never going to use except for emergencies

That's one theory.

On the other hand, the Bills had literally the most run-heavy offense in football last year en route to 8-8 so maybe they like to run the ball regardless of game script.

Dude just drafted a "ground and pound" team in the new goon dynasty league (12-team 1QB / Superflex / 2RB / 3WR / 1TE / 3Flex 1ppr TE-premium 0.2 per carry):

I'm going to strongly consider doing the same. On one hand, they've got playmakers and an efficient offense to keep the d rested and in good field position. On the other hand, their schedule is loaded with dangerous teams. I'll play it by ear, but these last two weeks have been a real dick punch for what's normally a solid part of my team.

Depends on your team, but I'd do it. Gore will give you more floor and desean more ceiling. I assume we're talking a standard 2/2/flex league. If you have to start more WRs may not be worth it.

Full disclosure, I've never like streaky players like desean; but some love those guys.

Fair enough, my best options would putting in a waiver for Enunwa, Mike Gillislee, or FA pickup: Eddie Royal, Cole Beasely, or a DST (Green Bay's most likely)

Jones still has a good shot at being Washington's RB1, which is more than you can say for Gillislee (because he's on the Bills :v: you know what I mean). Enunwa is slightly tempting, but not for the price of Jones, and the other three are not close to worth dropping him.

And I maintain that their defense was still decent enough (slightly below league average) that they were in games longer thus allowing them to run a poo poo load. Their defense went from a a top-5 unit in 2014 to the #19 defense last year and there's absolutely no reason to think it's not continuing to trend down now that "2 top 15 defenses in a ~20 year career" Rob Ryan is first mate on his brother's sinking ship. If McCoy and/or Watkins get hurt that team is going to pack it in so fast it'll create a vacuum. I shudder to think of what that team is going to look like this year without one or both of their only decent offensive weapons.

They're going to run more than they should in any event, but they're going to be a mediocre to outright bad team and I would certainly not be falling over myself to get the potential future pilot of the Hindenburg

Like people want to burn waivers and drop DeAndre Washington for this guy in week 2, like what am I missing here? :psyduck:
