CJA is doing that thing where he has a few bad games in a row and the coaches keep teasing a committee with a younger guy. So by the time you finally drop him he's putting up big games again and makes everyone buy into "breakout" hype the next offseason. This is CJA's gimmick by now.

If Booker can just not Montee Ball his opportunities, he could take over that starting spot by the end of the season if CJA let's up.

I don't know if i'd say for a fact they are more invested long term in Booker over CJA. CJA is only a year older than Booker and he's signed for a not so crazy contract currently through 2020. Sure he could become the starting RB by seasons end, but he could also flame out once he's given a chance at the starting role. Though i haven't been following the Broncos RB situation for a while as it seemed like a headache for a long time.

That means they are hoping he will develop into a starter. They also matched a front loaded contract and paid to do so, but it is more than likely they did it to make sure running back isn't a question mark this season, with the turnover they had on their roster. Yeah, his contract is reasonable for a running back, but they can free up 3m in cap space with no dead money if they cut him next year for Booker. I personally think CJA is a dead man walking. I just don't know that it impacts this fantasy season.

My other WRs - Julio, Evans, Thomas, T Benjamin, W Snead TEs: Z Miller, J Witten RBs : Gordon, Mccoy, Ingram, Crowell, T.West I am thinking do this trade right? Mostly use the extra RB for my flex so Thomas only seen field once..

Before the week finishes, in my money league, Im 8th out of 10 with the 2nd Highest points for and the highest points against (by a crazy high margin). I thought I was just being paranoid that I was just facing guys who were playing all the randoms that got 25+ points every week, but nah, that's exactly the case.

VietCampo posted:What's the view on Devontae Booker currently? His snaps are increasing every week and he's on the verge of being in a full on timeshare with CJ Anderson, who was in one last year with Ronnie Hillman (who isn't as talented as Booker). If I was an Anderson owner I would pick Booker up. If you're not an Anderson owner, I'd pick Booker up if I had room on my bench, but I doubt Booker will fully eclipse Anderson at any point in the season. It will be an RBBC though.

Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week Five Waiver Wire Targets Y'all know the drill by now. Must be 50% owned or less on Yahoo in order to be listed. Rankings are intended for full ppr leagues. Players are discussed in order of how much I like them, followed by "spot start" rankings and "long term" rankings. WR Cole Beasley (DAL) - Continues to be a solid ppr guy and continues to be on our WW list for like the millionth week in a row. As the slot guy, we said we didn't expect a Dez absense to increase his volume much (and it actually has gone down since the Dez injury), but in full ppr he is a good bye-week guy depending on matchups, particularly if you need the floor. Low volume to Cruz for the past two weeks bumps Beasley up to the top of the list. Jamison Crowder (WAS) - Back on our list after a bunch of folks dropped him. If you get return yard points, Crowder had an awesome game with an 85-yard touchdown return. I still believe in both the talent and the opportunity, but the matchup this week against the Eagles is probably not one you want to be starting him in. Competitive leagues, you want him on your bench now, but casual leagues can probably stand to risk leaving him on the wire for another week. Victor Cruz (NYG) - We still like the snap counts, volume, efficiency, touchdown upside, and matchups for Cruz (in terms of coverage, not necessarily teams), but the goose egg this week hurts. Moved down a bit. Expect a bounce-back. Sammie Coates (PIT) - A boom/bust guy, also with a cannon-armed quarterback. Has been slowly developing his route tree and has all the physical tools in the world, but managed to contribute three bad drops this past week en route to his biggest game of the season. Probably the better upside play than Hogan, but a goose egg could happen at any time. Chris Hogan (NE) - Was only the 5th look on this offense, but Tom Brady looks on loving point and you might as well grab his deep threat as he tears the NFL a new one. Boom/Bust output makes him better in standard leagues, Tome Brady makes him better than most other boom/bust guys. Corey Coleman (CLE) - Out 1-3 more weeks. Gordon is gone and Pryor has been inefficient - it's not unlikely that Coleman resumes his role as the #1 receiver in a funslinging offense. Great upside play. Downside: the QB situation, Pryor could be for real, lol browns. Jeremy Kerley (SF) - Has been in our "guys to watch" for a few weeks, but he's ready for the big boy list. Chip Kelly slot guy magic. Cameron Meredith (CHI) - Took the Kevin White targets against a dire secondary, with Eddie Royal also banged up. Had a banner day with 12/9/130/1, but also had 2 fumbles. I would not expect this kind of target load every week, but he had enough talent to stick around on the roster as an UDFA for a second year. Nice speculative upside add with Alshon turned into a pumpkin. Others: Robert Woods (BUF - has taken the Sammy targets, but the Bills just don't throw that much and Woods will now start facing #1 corners and has limited TD upside), Adam Humphries (TB - slot guy in a high-volume offense but has been fading a bit as the season continues), Kenny Britt (LA - has been very efficient with a reasonable target load, worth a look), Tyreek Hill (KC - was also an honorable mention two weeks ago and looked great since, but got most of his targets in garbage time and then went on a bye. Keep an eye on this one!), Anquon Boldin (DET - The rare slot guy that is also a primary red zone target. Only really viable in ppr thanks to the low target depth, but the combination of a ppr floor and touchdown upside make him a decent bye-week guy), Adam Thielen (MIN - filled in admirably for Diggs and looks great but now has a bye and will return to lower on the totem poll with Diggs back), Jaelen Strong (HOU - targets have been trending up every week, could have a great game against IND this week). note: BAL turned over the offense to their quarterback coach this week, Marty Mornhinweg. Marty wants to get more efficient through the air and will probably run the ball a bit more. This would have been great news for Steve Smith if he hadn't hurt his ankle this week. He's a tough SoB so he might be a decent trade target if it's just a low sprain, but in the meantime, Breshad Perriman might be worth a speculative flier. But I'd expect the biggest change to occur in the backfield, with a bigger emphasis on RB involvement in the passing game. Problem is, we don't really know who they like. Buck Allen can certainly catch but is a really weird running back, Dixon can probably catch but his health is unknown, and West can maybe catch to a mediocre extent. Really this whole offense is in flux. Spot Start rankings: Beasley, Coates, Woods, Kerley, Hogan, Cruz, Crowder. Long-term rankings: Beasley, Crowder, Cruz, Coates, Coleman, Hogan, Humphries, Hill, Strong, Perriman. RB Bilal Powell (NYJ) - Was our #1 handcuff two weeks ago and our #1 overall RB pickup last week, and has now straight-up outscored Forte for three consecutive weeks. Bilal can run, catch, and protect well enough to be a middling every-down guy. Has standalone value in the timeshare and bigtime upside in the case of a Forte injury (he will not "win" the job in a timeshare, though - Forte is here to stay and is the likely RB1 going forward). Devontae Booker (DEN) - Has been a mainstay on our WW rankings for weeks now as a handcuff ("I believe in the Kubiak run game"), but this week was a real good look or him. Has been significantly more efficient than CJA and appears to have worked his way into a timeshare. Great upside, possible standalone value, and remember, we saw CJA occasionally lose games to Hillman last year. Bobby Rainey (NYG) - Last week we said "did not look good last night, but has the pass-catching chops to be a factor and Paul Perkins was an absolute disaster in pass protection. Eli likes having a hands guy when going no-tempo, and Rainey is the closest thing they have to Vereen." Verdict: yuuuuuuup. Kenneth Dixon (BAL) - Highly touted rookie returning from injury to turbulent backfield. The lack of a clear starter opens a path to some work, but he'll still face an uphill battle to become fantasy relevant this year. He'll have to a) be as good as we think he is, b) make up for lost practice time, c) come back without reaggrivating the knee, and d) be consistent enough to "win" out in the timeshare. West is likely to be the better producer this month, but Dixon still has plenty of upside if you like stashing lottery tickets. James White (NE) - Brady is back y'all. White is not very good, but Brady's checkdown guy is valuable nonetheless. Also has some big-play upside. Basically I'm still sad this isn't Lewis, but whatever, I'll take the knockoff version anyways. Chris Thompson (WAS) - Passing-down back in a pass-happy offense, but Jones has been picking up steam. Has been a fixture low on my WW lists for a while now, and will probably stay low unless Jones starts to falter. Fozzy Whittaker (CAR) - Pass-catching acumen should help him retain a role even after JStew returns this week, and the hammie can easily cause nagging issues all season for JStew. Dion Lewis (NE) - I still don't expect him to do much of anything until after the week 9 bye, after which he has runins with the Seahawks, Jets, Rams, and Broncos. But the upside is inheriting both the Blount role and the White role (or, more precisely, the Ridley + Vereen role from a few years ago) in a Tom Brady offense. Looked like a top running back when healthy last year. Would not pick up yet unless you are a) full ppr, and b) have an IR spot. Mike Gillislee (BUF) - Bills run a lot and like to use a workhorse. Gillislee has looked sharp in limited snaps. High-value handcuff. Others: Alf (DAL - Cowboys offensive line is still pretty good, as is Alf, but the backfield probably becomes a timeshare with Dunbar if Zeke goes down), Asiata (MIN - as usual, boom/bust TD and passing work upside), Dwayne Washington (DET - Is now limping around with both a sprained foot and a high-ankle sprain, but maybe he can fall over for a touchdown if he plays because Theo can't run inside for poo poo), James Starks (GB - if Lacy is hurt, which it looks like he probably isn't very hurt, Starks could be a desperation flex for a week or two, but at this point he's a little gassed), Karlos Williams (Unsigned - Has now served his entire suspension and is eligible to play if signed. Extremely unlikely to be startable this year, but it's a fun chance to look like a genius to your friends if it does pan out). note: I didn't forget about Ajayi (Foster is the guy when healthy - save the jokes, I'm aware of the health risk - and Ajayi is not good), CAP (JStew is back), Quizz (Martin is probably back), Jalen (not enough volume to trust yet but one to keep an eye on), Ivory (used to be one of my favorite runners but I haven't had a chance to watch him since his mystery illness - statline is not looking good). Spot start rankings: Fozzy (against NO), Rainey, White, Bilal, Thompson, Asiata. Long-term rankings: Bilal, Booker, Dixon, Rainey, White, Lewis, Gillislee, Thompson, Dwayne, Alf.
