You are receiving this broadcast as a dream...We are transmitting from the year one nine... nine nine ...You are receiving this broadcast in order t
So... is Royce Freeman as potentially a QB in a RB slot worth playing over Chris Carson? I am leaning no, but picked up so no one else can either.

Seems unlikely. This isn't like you're replacing a dead slot like TE. I suspect Carson will outpoint Freeman.

So I need a fill in for Gurley and don't really like any available options, .5 PPR:

Damien Harris vs Ari
Austin Ekeler @ Buf (If he plays)
Kalen Ballage @ Buf (if Ekeler doesn't)

Available on waivers:
Benny Snell vs Bal
Gus Edwards @ Pit
Brian Hill vs LV

Adams vs CHI (this is a no doubter)
Thomas vs Denver (might not throw a lot because they’ll be up the whole game?)

I think you always have to start Ridley if he plays as well. I'd sit Thomas since that shouldn't be a competitive game at all lol.

Well, one thing real quick, Crowder’s on NYJ, who are playing Miami. I don’t think we really know who is gonna get the lead of the Miami backs (Laird or Washington could get work there, so playing Breida isn’t a sure thing).

I’d probably go Crowder or Wilkins. Personally I don’t have a lot of faith in anyone on the Jets, so if I had to make a dart-throw, I’d go Wilkins.

lol good catch. And ya they all feel like dart throws with the lowest of floors.

edit: fk it, my opponent has Diontae Johnson and Steelers DST still in so if he doesn't change I'm leaving JuJu.

For what it’s worth, I dropped Breida for Wilkins as soon as I saw Taylor was out. While Hines gets a lot of the hype, Wilkins had some decent games last season when Mack was out. I kinda feel like Wilkins is gonna get the regular work, and Hines will be the change of pace guy. I think they’ve both got RB2 potential this week.

Just my opinion. :)

Before last week’s stumble Meyers was on Feyers, and he get a really weak Arizona defense. I like him over slayton whose offense sucks and he’s not the number one WR or Robinson who might flip out but also might flip out and bang his helmet into the bench repeatedly while cursing at Mitch Trubisky.

Interestingly, I’ve seen this exact question asked twice already before this. Vegas should tear up Atlanta’s defense and when Carr feasts, Agholor eats. I think he’s a fine replacement over Diontae even if that game is still scheduled to play when the raiders take the field

Darnold is back under center, which shifts Crowder back under DSYS category for me until I see otherwise. Darnold lacks the ability to see field depth which is why he peppers the slot. Crowder’s woes are directly linked to Flacco’s penchant for airing it out deep

Whether or not it’s ppr changes my recommendation. Ppr/hppr: Ridley and Thomas. No ppr: Ridley and Jefferson. Thomas is gonna get 5 catches which is why he has a much higher floor in ppr but Jefferson is a boom bust play that works better for standard

Standard scoring.

Gio Bernard vs NYG or
Ronald Jones vs KC

I got a bunch of points from WAS D so I'm planning to start Gio for the reliable points and good matchup, seeing RoJo as more boom/bust especially with the possible game states in that KC matchup. Someone who knows more about the Bengals backfield could correct me though - if Perine is going to get a big role maybe I'll swap Gio out.

I guess Ronald Jones? TB will have to keep the KC offense off the field, and that means controlling the clock. Whereas I don't know what Cincinnati wants to do with their gameplan. Gio doesn't feel like a bad choice either though, new QB could need to dump the ball off a lot.

Both players' floor is like 2 points. Is there anyone else you have available?

Gus Bus @ Pit

Zack Moss vs. LAC
Reagor vs. Sea

I'm leaning towards starting Gus Edwards. But, if the game get's poo poo canned before Tuesday, I'd be forced to play Reagor tomorrow as a backup plan.

Buffalo is a decent home favorite off a bye, so maybe this is the time to start Moss.

Tonyan's a TE which is by default a rough flex over a WR in PPR. Green is AJ Green and has a backup QB after his main QB pulled an AJ Green.
So, by default... Perriman? I could see Green doing something though, so I'm like 51-49

Moss out-touches Singletary. Also, Moss has progressed on tape very nicely: He's now keeping his head up and starting to scan the field, which is a stage most rookies don't get to.

Gus is a jag who should get carries, but he faces a tough run D and has a floor of DNP. Claypool, too. Reagor plays on a hot mess of an offense that keeps getting players back to take away looks.

I think Moss is a fine fallback for this weird week.

Still have a day to decide on this. Our commissioner allows us to make conditional plays for games that might get moved out of the week for Covid, so I can have Juju in my lineup, and if the game gets cancelled the commissioner will replace Juju with Fulgham even after the Eagles have played. Fulgham fell off a cliff once the Eagles got more weapons back. Would it be worth playing him over Juju where the risk of the game getting cancelled is removed? Obviously if I chose Juju and they play I am stuck with his score even if Fulgham does better. I am leaning Juju.

Sadly, I'd go RoJo I think. Anthony Lynn is known for easing injured players back in on a limited count, and the Chargers have other okay backs they can swap in. Mostert has been injured for so long, he could easily get caught in the same situation.

Normally, it's a slam dunk for claypool but Baltimore KEEPS GETTING COVID. The NFL is pissed and might just give them a loss.

Rojo gets scripted out sometimes, but sometimes he... doesn't? This decision has been "who is less likely to get scripted out due to injury or gamescript" and RoJo wins that.

I'm leaving Ekeler on my bench for the above reasons. If he scores a bunch, cool, I'll start him next week. Multiple month injuries aren't usually events that players come back from hot.

Yeah, I’m lucky in that I had Gibson go off this week, so I don’t really need Ekeler. I’ve waited this long for him to come back, I can safely just watch him on my bench to see what he does and make a choice next week.
