What about the QB, HC, or the Team.. Pretty sure its a 3 -headed Monster, Or that's "Hot Hand" B.S. reeks its way into Games.. I kinda still like West (GL carry's) but its gotta be softer opponents .Alex Collins RB - BAL

I like this call but Blount and Smallwood did well today, too.Clement, RB PHI
Or Smallwood. Who would be the next guy up if Sproles is out?Clement, RB PHI
This and speculatively add Foreman and Charles (though that pains me as a CJA owner)How bad is Gordon s knee? Oliver?
I don't think there's any question Collins is their best RB. I look for him to be their feature back sooner rather than later.Alex Collins RB - BAL

FYI Buck Allen was in for 34 plays, Collins just 10. Just remember that when spending your budget this week plus Woodhead will eventually be coming back.I don't think there's any question Collins is their best RB. I look for him to be their feature back sooner rather than later.
When Woodhead does come back, if he's even healthy for long, he's cutting into Allen's time IMO.FYI Buck Allen was in for 34 plays, Collins just 10. Just remember that when spending your budget this week plus Woodhead will eventually be coming back.
I believe Collins will get more & more touches. He's their most dynamic RB & that offense is in desperate need of some juice.FYI Buck Allen was in for 34 plays, Collins just 10. Just remember that when spending your budget this week plus Woodhead will eventually be coming back.
Yeah, and how did that work out?FYI Buck Allen was in for 34 plays, Collins just 10. Just remember that when spending your budget this week plus Woodhead will eventually be coming back.
Thanks but no thanks. I'll take Collins in standard. Woodhead won't last like usual.No Gems. This is one of the worst years for break out players on the wire so far,and for all those on the Collins express,Woodhead is the most dynamic back on the Ravens when healthy.and when he is back,the other RB's won't have a lot of value.especially in ppr...
Sorry, this is a bit of a pet peeve. Woodhead is not a good runner between the tackles. He's not elusive in space. He's not powerful. He's a bad pass blocker. He's easy to arm tackle. Woodhead does one thing and one thing only: catch passes. Doing only one thing well does not make you dynamic.No Gems.

He also looked really good yesterday in pass-pro and on his carries. I wouldn't be shocked if he starts seeing the most touches out of this group starting this SundaySmallwood. I don't like mentioning him because I don't think he's very good but Sproles broke his arm and the only other player on that roster who is a similar comp is Pumphrey who is also injured. Out of Smallwood, Blount and Clement, Smallwood is the most versatile and the one most likely to pick up Sproles' missing targets. Before getting injured Sproles was being utilized 12 times a game, 50% of which came in the form of targets
Slot receiver in Seattle is always a startable player.If D. Baldwin is banged up, whoever mans the slot in his absence in SEA.
P. Richardson? T. Lockett?
Matchup at home against INDY will be a get well game for SEA.
I was a big Smallwood guy going into the season but Blount did himself a favor yesterday and looked competent. Smallwood may get the passing work now but he won't get the goal line. Smallwood is the flier but this could be an unproductive backfield until the next injury comes.Bigboy10182000 said:He also looked really good yesterday in pass-pro and on his carries.

You really think so? I'm fugging desperate bc of Cam.Eli for teams needing a qb.
Never start the Goober. He will give you a 5 point game when you only need 10.You really think so? I'm fugging desperate bc of Cam.
Maybe Collins is the back to own, but that game reminded me of the story Bill Lee tells in his autobiography "The Wrong Stuff" (highly recommended, BTW, assuming it's still in print):Alex Collins RB - BAL

Legit only have 10 starting QBs on my WW: Dalton, Cutler, Bortles, Goff, Kizer, Keenum, Brissett, Glennon, McCown, and Hoyer.Never start the Goober. He will give you a 5 point game when you only need 10.
Don't you think Alex Collins has looked like the best Balt back all season?Maybe Collins is the back to own, but that game reminded me of the story Bill Lee tells in his autobiography "The Wrong Stuff" (highly recommended, BTW, assuming it's still in print):
The Red Sox had just lost a game where they played terribly. Luis Tiant walked into the clubhouse, sat down on the toilet, took a massive dump and then, as he flushed, said, "Bye, bye, game."
Point being, don't read too much into that game. It was a turdfest from start to finish.
JamieMurphy said:Clement, RB PHI
Why? Eagles carried the ball a whopping 33 times yesterday which won't happen again (13 and 20 in their first two games). Likely around 20 moving forward and Clement will be extremely lucky to see 8-10 of those carries. He likely sees 3-7 per game which isn't worth a roster spot. At that point you're hoping for a Smallwood and/or Blount injury so why not take a flier on a true backup rb if that's the case?Hilts said:Or Smallwood.

He should be an add in ALL leagues I think. His targets went from 2, to 6, to 10 this year. Could see him getting 8-10 targets and catching 6 balls a game from here on out. That is worth rostering. Teams will start doubling CMC, doing their best to stack boxes and taking him out of the game. Cam's gonna be forced to throw and with KB and Olson out, it's gotta go somewhere.aggie_dave said:The Carolina passing game/offense is in complete disarray, but someone has to catch passes. Though McCaffrey very well may hoover up most of that volume, Funchess should be an add in long bench leagues. There's really no one else with talent left to catch the ball.
He's got the Titans and Chiefs next so if someone has the room he is worth the stash but I wouldn't expect big numbers the next two weeks. After that the schedule lightens up considerably.Watson could be a low end QB1 due to his running ability.
Also, the Panthers have 11 of their 12 games that are left in the fantasy season, vs pass d's ranked out of the top 15. Only 1 in 12 is vs a good pass D (Packers ranked 9th). That's a great schedule if Cam can get it going.He should be an add in ALL leagues I think. His targets went from 2, to 6, to 10 this year.

Derek Carr says hello.Never start the Goober. He will give you a 5 point game when you only need 10.You really think so? I'm fugging desperate bc of Cam.
Eli seems to be more friendly. He says hello alot.Derek Carr says hello.
It's not typically learned in-season though. I'd be curious to see what other backs were actually able to improve enough in pass-blocking during the season to actually convince their coach to keep them in for passing situations.Don't you think Alex Collins has looked like the best Balt back all season?
With the exception of his participation in passing game, which I believe is largely due to his deficiency in pass blocking. And this skill can be taught.
This makes sense. Maybe the kid can improve enough during practice during the season that he gets a shot. In any case, that backfield is a 3-headed monster right now and will be a bigger mess while Woodhead plays for a game or two.It's not typically learned in-season though.
