To be fair if Gus was your RB1 you were already kinda hosed.

For the most part, I agree.
I was 9th of 12 and 8 RBs went off the board before my pick. I decided to get 2 stud WRs instead of a above-average RB.

Redraft? Just drop Gus.

Maybe 1 time in 200 this situation turns out to be a sprain rather than a torn ACL, I wouldn't drop Gus for a guy who isn't on a team's roster like Latavius Murray.

Added Ty'Son in the league where me and my son are co-managing a team. Excited to show him the "taking advantage of others misfortune" aspect of fantasy football.

So how much of the 100 FAAB should I blow with gus going down on Ty'son. Gus was my RB2 and I got Bell yesterday for 0 on the bench.

Ravens RBs ran it like 350 times last year, literally all of those carries are up for grabs now. I don't care which bad washed up RB they go with, but I want whoever it is as my RB5 or whatever

Nah, the test for ACLs is like 10 seconds on the sideline and is 99% accurate.

If they think it's blown, then it's blown.

In the one league this is relative to me i have no RB depth. Like none. One stroke of luck is i was the 12th pick in a 12 person snake draft. I have waiver priority on friday.
I can be assured of being the first to drop Gus and picking up someone. But then i drop to last the next week. Help me SA Forums, your my only hope.
I have no rb's because i thought to load up on wr's and te's and get "sleepers". Everyone picked the sleepers.
Edit.

To be clear, i only have that option this week...so i will absolutely use it but it's such a crap shoot. Next week it will be the lowest scorer.
We have all done this, week one heroes are quickly forgotten. I need a good prospect in a 12 team draft where all second string guys have been drafted.

Thats....what I said? A very small percentage of the time, like probably 0.5%, it turns out to be a sprain, or some other type of knee injury.

Carter is expected to end up the passing/neat tricks back. Given who is on the roster he's going to end up The Guy though.

Murray’s a better RB than anyone the Ravens have on the roster right now (not counting Lamar, obviously).

He’s gonna end up somewhere. If I’ve got someone in a league at the bottom of my roster I was gonna churn anyway, I’m picking him up, just to see what happens. In leagues where I don’t have a churn candidate? Not gonna pick him up.

They returned all their starters from the Super Bowl and drafted a first round DE, and they're all healthy right now (last I heard) so yes the Bucs D should be good.

Play Tom.

What changed was he outplayed the other backs in the preseason and then the depth chart they sent out to the media people after the preseason listed him as #1. The depth chart on the team website says Coleman but team websites at this point are less reliable. Tevin Coleman is quite old and quite busted while Carter is a day 3 rookie pick. Meanwhile Ty Johnson has size (5’11 210 lbs), explosiveness (4.45 40 and an 86th percentile Speed Score) and can catch passes (5.7% target share last year). I am expecting Coleman to get the first snap as the ceremonial veteran starter in week 1 and then cede a majority of the touches to Ty Johnson. He’s got a real chance to run away with the lead back job and he gets the Panthers defense in week 1 so he’s almost certainly going to be on week 2 waiver lists.

Before Week 1 is actually the perfect time to jump on a guy in an ambiguous backfield. Ambiguous backfields are where you can get some great values. You will know after Week 1 what you have in him and if he's a hit, then you've avoided having to outbid the rest of the league over him on next week's waivers.

last year i cribbed some super helpful excel sheets for drafting in my dynasty $200 faab league, i can't seem to find the website i got them from (maybe it was this thread?)

Anyone have the juice for this year and mind sharing? I've already drafted for my non-keeper non-money leagues and this is the only one i really care about as i've finished 2nd, won, 2nd the last 3 years.
