Agreed, but it might make sense to let your leaguemates fawn over Hill/Edwards and then grab Gordon for nothing. They haven't shied away in the past from using guys that are long in the tooth but still turn out to be productive for them.Chasing any Raven back right now is brave. We've seen this movie before.
Is Keaton Mitchell out for the year - they put him on IR but was unsure if it is a season ender.
He is the ravens back to own if healthy, in my opinion.
ESPN has him on waivers.Is Yahoo serious?Unfortunately, Yahoo still has Hunt as part of the Browns & since they already played, he's locked.
Can anyone give a scouting report on Mitchell? Seems like a real longshot, but you never know these days.Agreed, but it might make sense to let your leaguemates fawn over Hill/Edwards and then grab Gordon for nothing.

Keaton is eligible to return after week 4.
Andrews wasn't there TO eat over the middle.Flowers got so much attention over the middle that I'm now questioning Andrews.That whole Likely buzz before week 1 was pretty weak stuff, IMO. Lamar had thrown to his TEs, yeah.For me, this week 1 is going to make it a lot harder to stay patient on Likely's upside / opportunity assuming that Andrews returns.
That was one offensive coordinator, one OBJ, and a Zay Flowers ago. Plus a healthy Bateman
Finally, even if most of his touches were in “garbage time”, newsflash, this won’t be the only week the Bears find themselves in that game script.
There were a lot of offenses with down days, but CHI looked like a mess kind of all over. Playcalling, blocking, everything. I'm not dying for Bears right now.
Often there's only one target eating over the middle (well enough for FF).
Thanks. That's a lot different than "won't play".Where did it say that?The whole world is going to chase Gainwell in waivers now. Probably #1 pickup.Gainwell now dealing with a rib? Is it just going to be Penny this week on the short week and Swift still is the passing down back who doesn't get work?
Now he wont play.
Watch Penny get some run. He becomes the #1 waiver.
Swift...Gainwell...Penny...all of them.
I knew I wanted to avoid this.

Captain Obvious with the assistance from hindsight... I appreciate your help.As a Kupp owner, what percent of my FAB should I spend to get Puka Nacua?
As a Kupp owner, you should have picked him up when it was clear Kupp wasn't going to play, for now, idk?
Wow. It only takes one I guess. I run my faab money like I run my personal money. Cheaply. Maybe twice a year I bid 20 of the 100. Mostly I bid 2 bucks. I'm cheap.J.Kelley just went for $87 of $100 FAAB in my 16 team league today....wow.
Next closest bid was $21..
No, I don’t think I would waste my time on those guys.Any value in River Cracraft for Braxton Berrious, as a Tyreek owner with an extra spot for a hand-cuff? Watching the game, it certainly seemed like Cracraft in particular was the Hill fill-in when he got winded.
Agreed. Having said that. Shout out to Braxton Berrios. My spot start of the century a few years back with the season on the line. Fist bump buddy.

it's going to take 50% minimum IMO. Ran waivers last night at halftime. $53 bought him each team has $100 for the season.Captain Obvious with the assistance from hindsight... I appreciate your help.
I play in a league with shallow rosters and thought I had the fire power without rostering a 5th round flier on a team nobody thought would do s _ _ t. Alas, injuries being what they are - I have some spots coming available on my roster. Any insight on amount of FAAB I should throw at Nacua or would you prefer to wait until he is picked up and give me the answer?

I play in a league with shallow rosters
Concur, well tbh he was already owned in almost all my leagues. Even shallow rosters he was either drafted late or nabbed off waivers after the Kupp injury. But I'd imagine anywhere he's available it'll be a minimum 50% bid needed to get him. He's the epitome of the early season waiver add league winner. It's been my experience the people who spend big the first 2-3 weeks do much better than the ones who pinch pennies until late in the season. I'm sure everyone has their own experiences on that front though.it's going to take 50% minimum IMO.

Damn. Just raised my bid to $51 for Kyren. As an Akers owner.
I thought about this but why do I feel like in 5 weeks he'll be a KC Chief?My WW priority I set for dropping Hollywood Brown:
Puka
Nicole Collins
Jacobi Meyers
Kendrick Bourne

Do we prefer Williams or Kelley for the LA (albeit different teams) RBs?
I like Williams because he looked better than Akers. But Mcvay is notoriously odd when it comes to RB usage.
Kelley obvious second fiddle to Ekeler but Ek's ankle injury could open up huge usage for Kelley on a better offense.
25% for Williams and 35% for Kelley?
Nacua is a league winner if Kupp is out for more than 4 weeks, which I think is 50-50. Looking back I wish I would have bid $61. good luck & tell us what they went for.I have cascading bids for all them with JSS as the drop so only one will clear.
Nacua $53 (of $100)
Kelley $29
Williams $23
I don’t know if these are the right amounts.
For context…I have Akers as my RB3 (behind CMC and Pollard) and JWilliams as RB4 and JTaylor as RB5 so I’m already pretty strong here and I can play three as one is a Flex. I’m very weak at WR1/WR2/WR3 hence my priority to get Nacua where overpaying is less problematic from my perspective.
I welcome my thinking to be challenged.

As a Kupp owner, you should have picked him up when it was clear Kupp wasn't going to play, for now, idk?
My other RBs are CMC, Akers, Gibson, Mitchell, Achane and Tucker. So none of them really startable. I wouldn’t start both Akers and Kyren. I’d like to have one of them be startable. I thankfully picked up Puka in that league on Thursday. I also had Kyren last season in my IR spot and am still wondering why I drafted Akers this season after watching him last season.Damn. Just raised my bid to $51 for Kyren. As an Akers owner.
I’ve also got Akers* and I’m a little worried as he was #15 on my DD rankings for RB. Will you walk me through your logic here? I ask because I’m reluctant to get too invested in one backfield where only one of the players might be useful to me. I don’t see starting them both.
*Fortunately he’s my RB3 behind CMC and Pollard. But I’m also going to make a strong play for Puka Nicua.
still wondering why I drafted Akers this season after watching him last season.

I highly doubt anyone in my leagues will bid for Mingo - I could drop Thielen for him.Grab Mingo while everyone fights over puka. He has a big opportunity this year with a bunch of bums around him.
Young missed him on a 99 yard TD or he would be talked about on every single waiver article.
To act like the Rams offense was a certainty and a "why didn't you draft Puka" with 4 bench spots or whatever your roster makeup is ridiculous. Let me completely ignore all logic and dive into this 5th round flier, is ridiculous. If you came into this season thinking Puka Nacua was going to have the best rookie WR performance, put your 2 weeks in and go get a job selling fantasy advice.some of us picked up van jefferson, the supposed #1 wr instead.As a Kupp owner, what percent of my FAB should I spend to get Puka Nacua?

All dayWould you drop Ty Chandler for Roschon? I feel like the situation (if he were to get meaningful snaps/touches) is better on the Vikings but the nearer term path to relevance is of course with Roschon.
Yeah, but look at when those carries came..... garbage time.still wondering why I drafted Akers this season after watching him last season.
Akers was RB #15 on my DD draft board. Seemed like a reasonably safe bet on draft night. FBG now has him at RB #36 for the rest of the year. Seriously? I realize his yardage was light but he‘s tied for the lead in carries at 22.

when the game outcome was still in doubt Kyren Williams got the carries.
Akers got about half his carries the last 2 drives of the game when everyone in the stadium knew they were gonna win.
that does not show that the coach believes in you. and the rumour last year was that he was in the doghouse. if true, this gives McVay all the reason he needs to give the starting role to someone else.
its not by any means a lock, but I do think his value has dropped for sure.
In our league when we started doing FAAB people were very cheap - like $10 out of $100 was a big time high roller bid. If nobody in your league has used FAAB before, then they will probably not bid very high in week 1. But if a couple members play in multiple leagues and have used FAAB before, they might be bigger spenders.anyone remember their first time in an FAAB league? How much do people spend? It’s our first year in a 12 team and id like to gauge how much to drop for Kyren. Have a $31 and a $21 bid currently.
I have no real RB2 as of week 2. Akers, Gibson, Mitchell, Achane, Tucker. I have a $31 and a $51 bid in for him currently.

How badly do you need an RB? Kyren could be a decent low-end RB2 but not likely to win the league for you. But if you just lost Dobbins and only have 2 other RB's on the roster then you probably need to spend whatever it takes.
Jordan Mason from last year had 6 yards a carry in such situationsSome positive thoughts for Akers
One could also take the stance that grinding out the clock is something the RB who the coach has the most trust gets.
Also most RBs don’t get a ton of yards in these situations as they know the run is coming, thus lowering his YPC.
