Well Sanders will keep the job in Philly.Love is sitting there as our Dynasty FA opens tonight. He and Boston Scott are my top 2 targets. I just can't see Peterson keeping the job.

You are correct, but with 14 teams and 20 man rosters there isn't much leftcloppbeast said:Well Sanders will keep the job in Philly.
I'm thinking that's the way it should be.The hype is real. I just did a redraft and Love went before Gibson.
Meaning get Love, the guy who might not need an injury to have value.You are correct, but with 14 teams and 20 man rosters there isn't much left
Tough to say without preseason games. Love has clearly been anointed by the SP this year, for whatever that is worth.Grabbed Gibson in the 15th PPR but now wondering if I should have gotten Love
Yeah my plan was once I saw Gibson,l go, target Love a round or 2 later. Ended up being the opposite.I'm thinking that's the way it should be.
Washington RB Bryce Love has been working with the second- and third-team offense.
Love has had some hype in recent weeks following the release of Derrius Guice, but when Adrian Peterson has been practicing, Love has slid back into a backup role. Washington team reporter Kyle Stackpole notes that Peterson and third-round rookie Antonio Gibson have been working with the first-team offense while Peyton Barber and Love have split work with the second- and third-team offense. Heading into Week 1, we should expect Peterson to have the early-down role with Gibson seeing work as a hybrid player. Gibson will earn more snaps and touches as the season progresses if he lives up to the hype he's received in training camp.

Is it though?Tables turning again
I guess that poses the question, what is more valuable: a starting offensive weapon or a backup RB?Is it though?
Indications so far are Peterson is the starting RB and Gibson the starting OW (offensive weapon).
Should Peterson go down (or when he was not practicing), Love was the starting RB and Gibson the starting OW.
If Peterson is not practicing AND Gibson is running with the 1s over Love, then yes, turning tables.
The obvious answer is “it depends on how many touches the OW gets and how effective he is with them”. But the reality is we Will have no idea How this will play out until the season is underway.I guess that poses the question, what is more valuable: a starting offensive weapon or a backup RB?
For sure but with drafts coming up, we have to make some decisions.The obvious answer is “it depends on how many touches the OW gets and how effective he is with them”. But the reality is we Will have no idea How this will play out until the season is underway.
I don't know that I want to invest heavily enough in the Washington backfield to draft both of them to my redraft squad, so it may come down to targeting the one who drops the furthest (and I am guessing that will be Bryce Love). Both Love and Gibson intrigue me, but if one of them is going to emerge this season as a weekly fantasy relevant asset, I would place my chips on Bryce Love (the obvious likelihood is that neither of them fits that criteria). Gibson is still very raw. In Dynasty, I am all in on Antonio Gibson, but I am skeptical that he will earn enough consistent touches this season to be anything more than a swing-for-the-fences PPR flex in any given week. Then again, I do like to swing for the fences with my later picks . . .For sure but with drafts coming up, we have to make some decisions.
I agree there. The thing I do like about Gibson more is that we could get the Sigmund Bloom "early reveal" where after 2 weeks we kind of know what his role is if his explosive playmaking is going to be a thing. If you take Bryce, he might not get on the field as much and may serve as a pure handcuff.I don't know that I want to invest heavily enough in the Washington backfield to draft both of them to my redraft squad, so it may come down to targeting the one who drops the furthest (and I am guessing that will be Bryce Love).

If he's used like Cordarelle Patterson, then I'd rather take the backup RB who at least has a chance to be fantasy relevant. Of course we don't know exactly what the extent of his usage will be.I guess that poses the question, what is more valuable: a starting offensive weapon or a backup RB?
#2 in a RBBC at best vs #1 TE on a high flying offense, I'd take Jarwin every time unless you already have complete studs at TE.Got the first pick in a FA draft on Sunday. Thinking this guy should be a #1 target in those, right? (Obviously pending other avail guys, I'm staring at Blake Jarwin other than this guy)
The last guy known as "the weapon" was in Jacksonville and he's out of the league.I agree there. The thing I do like about Gibson more is that we could get the Sigmund Bloom "early reveal" where after 2 weeks we kind of know what his role is if his explosive playmaking is going to be a thing.

The latter, assuming if Peterson goes down then Love gets his work, which is what I'd bet on happening. I don't know where Gibson's yr 1 workload will fall, but I think somewhere in the Tarik Cohen-Nyhein Hines-Duke Johnson-Chris Thompson sphere. It'd need to be a special offense for me to want to invest in a weapon like that and Washington sure ain't special.I guess that poses the question, what is more valuable: a starting offensive weapon or a backup RB?
If you're rolling the dice on a weapon without a position I think this is the best bet for 2020 - and he's several rounds cheaper than Gibson.Ohio State's Curtis Samuel was a good running back in college and maybe more Gibson's skillset.
The Athletic's Ben Standig reports RB Bryce Love would not make the team if Washington decides to keep just three running backs headed into the season.
Standig said pass-catching back J.D. McKissick's "spot on the team and the game plan appears secure." He added the Football Team "may keep four backs on the gameday roster since [offensive coordinator Scott] Turner’s system uses plenty of two-back sets. If the decision is only three, it’s Peterson, Gibson and McKissic." Love failing to make the Washington roster would be a surprise after weeks of positive practice reports. Peterson, per Standig, is locked in as the team's early down back. The 35-year-old is available in the 10th round of seasonal leagues.

To follow up on Bryce Love:
"Love’s return is hopeful but methodical. He’s working primarily with the second and third teams. With Peterson secured as the early-down back, it’s Gibson and McKissic deployed by Turner as the electric chess pieces."
This isn’t about cutting him - it’s about how many RBs will be on the active roster each week.Weird. Why would you hold him thru injury and rehab just to cut him when he is healthy and showing out? And after losing Guice. Very Washington move. I am skeptical though.
Nothing, absolutely nothing, has indicated Love's release. This is probably absurd to get an article read. I don't know him and maybe that's out of line (if so, sorry) but I don't like this style writing.The Athletic's Ben Standig reports RB Bryce Love would not make the team if Washington decides to keep just three running backs headed into the season.

That's what he was hoped to be. He met it. Midseason or by camp year two, to be the starter, not now.NFL Beat Writers @32BeatWriters

So is your feeling that they'll keep 4 or that they cut Mckissic?https://mobile.twitter.com/InstantRHIplay/status/1299362359476211713
That's certainly a guy about to get cut
I think I'm pretty obvious about my thoughts here. This is a non-issue.So is your feeling that they'll keep 4 or that they cut Mckissic?
The Washington Post projects Bryce Love to make the 53-man roster.
Love’s camp showing was one of the reasons Washington released Adrian Peterson. ESPN's John Keim reported the team feels they can get Love can “back to where he was in college" in a couple months, suggesting he's not fully healthy. Love may start out behind Antonio Gibson and Peyton Barber, but he should find his way into snaps.

Turner could tell that Bryce Love was getting better every day and says he's excited to get him involved in the offense.
If you are looking to trade for him that is not bad news.Inactive for week 1.
