Update after week 2, BTW I'm really living the lotto life, I lost Dobbins/Barkley/Chubb.
Lotto pick hits: if they are out there spend the big FAAB/Waiver if you need RB help.
RB1/Highend RB2s:
Kyren Williams Looks like a confirmed hit! Very awesome to see in action, if you didn't watch the game it is worth seeing how elusive he is, once Kupp is back I think the lanes are even more open and this might detract from the passing role that he has. McVay is strangely the only worry for him- He did rotate backs and fall in and out of love with Henderson/Akers last year but its just something to note. I think he is a RB1 ROS.
Zack Moss Looks like a confirmed hit! At least for the next 2 weeks and JT still could be traded away or continue to hold out. High end RB2/lowend RB1 in this current role.
Flex with chance of more:
Justice Hill I'll say we might just have the RBBC and he is a highend flex at best
Gus Edwards see above.
- Here is a quick summary on which kingmakers significantly improved their odds at hitting lotto in week 3:
Joshua Kelley (Ready to Start?)
Not the best start, I think we need another week but if someone has eyes on this it would be helpful to understand, looks like Chargers relied on pass. Better days ahead.
Matt Breida (Ready to Start)
is not the answer....long term. Saquan could be back by week 6. Couple of other darkhorses and I think it will be RBBC, plus 49ers are up week 4 yikes! Grab em and bench em for cheap, would not break the bank, but I could be wrong about him again.
Jerome Ford (Ready to Start)
has the burst for the 2nd level and likely to be the top waiver wire guy, but Pierre strong could be vulture/goal line duty and we always could see Kareem Hunt get added in or some back up vet.

CANDIDATES for the Season Changing – KingMaker List - by division
I'll Asterisk the team with the Kingmaker* and Bold the Kingmakers
I'll Highlight Downgrades/Upgrades/Talent
As of Tuesday Sep 19th.
AFC East
*BUF
Damien Harris is cheap and if Cook gets injured he definitely will be Kingmaker.
*MIA
Raheem Mostert not a JAG, but still health is #1 concern. He has never had 200 carries in a season and I would not trust to see it happen at age 31.
Jeff Wilson Jr. (Talent Kingmaker)
Devon Achane(Talent?) Team linked to JT trade so we’ll see. These RBs belong on the bench or wait and see.
NEP
Zeke Elliott could emerge as the next option here, if injury occurs.
NYJ
Michael Carter is worth monitoring.
AFC North
*BAL
Gus Edwards or Justice Hill (Talent) are both possible Kingmakers. I initially only saw Gus Bus as the guy, but after learning the skillset I think Gus is a Roman fit and Justice is a Monken fit.
*CIN
Chase Brown is worth stashing as a Kingmaker.
*CLE
Pierre Strong or Jerome Ford (Talent) are both possible Kingmakers. Jerome is the favored one but, we did see Goal line role to Strong- was it because Ford was winded or that Strong is Stronger? I think they kind of look like Baltimore RBBC until we see more.
*PIT
Jaylen Warren (Talent) is a must draft/stash/roster for anyone. Already forced a split last year. 1st Kingmaker rank
AFC South
HOU
Devin Singletary is the definitive handcuff, yet only monitor.
IND
Zack Moss (Confirmed Talent) Congrats if you got your lotto ticket last week or before it was cashed! Now Bid for him if you haven't.
Deon Jackson is JAG
*JAC
Tank Bigsby (Talent) I saw a bad week 1 and 2 and I'm not so sure maybe stash/monitor can be applied if you need help right away and not bad to drop him necessarily.
*TEN
Tyjae Spears (Talent) monitor/stash worthy
Hassan Haskins JAG
AFC West
*DEN
Samaje Perine (Talent) Kingmaker. I think Javonte not fully themselves but I'm not seeing Perine take adv here. Downgrading him from top Kingmaker rank.
McLaughlin Jaleel thanks to
@daylight for heads up
KCC
Jerrick McKinnon best COP in the game right now and is weekly lowend flex.
CEH not good fit, I think barring injury, monitor only.
*LVR
Zamir White is another frontrunner. 4th best Kingmaker
*LAC
Joshua Kelley (Talent
) is the main frontrunner
Isaiah Spiller is a COP.
NFC East
*DAL
Rico Dowdle (Talent) is the perfect reason to make this list, never even heard of him before. He's been on Dallas for three straight seasons despite ending up on IR the last two seasons. 215lbs so could be the out of nowhere league winner!
Deuce Vaughn COP so small it is funny to watch youtube vids of his play
*NYG
Matt Breida is not the answer... long term.
*PHI
Swift is now the RB1 of the team but, I have a monitor on all else
Rashad Penny injury risk
Kenneth Gainwell (Talent) injured
Boston Scott JAG
*WAS
Antonio Gibson(Talent) frontrunner and just the more dynamic player in my eyes
NFC North
*CHI
Roschon Johnson (Talent) roster them now!
*DET
Jahmyr Gibbs should now be RB1 I'm guessing or it could be a RBBC
Reynolds Could be new David Montgomery?
David Montgomery(Talent) injured
*GBP
AJ Dillon might be looked over at this point but still is a kingmaker with low end flex appeal.
*MIN
Ty Chandler(Talent
) is kingmaker candidate and
moving up the ranks since Mattison looks weak.
NFC South
*ATL
Tyler Allgeier (Talent) is strongly rostered Kingmaker 1 rank
CAR
Chubba Hubbard stunk 2 years ago when given starter opportunity. I don't like him.
*NO
Jamaal Williams injured
Kendre Miller the one we should focus a monitor on
Tony jones Jr. welcome to the party pal
*TBB
Sean Tucker(Talent) splitting first team reps he is looking to be backup thanks for heads up on this
@Lansdowne
Chase Edmonds stunk on MIA and was traded. monitor him
Ke’Shawn Vaughn JAG
NFC West
*ARI
Keaontay Ingram JAG but worth monitoring Cards have a pulse
Corey Clement JAG
*LAR
Zach Evans worth a monitor
*SF
Eli Mitchell (Talent) is my frontrunner and rounds out a top 5 Kingmaker
*SEA
Zach Charbonnet (Talent) roster them
Congrats if you read the whole thing! 27 possible Kingmakers and we had 4 hits so far!
