Everybody's team is different man. I'm not telling you to drop anyone for him if you're stacked at RB.At my own peril? What is this, the 1600s? Who talks like that?
Let's see, in PPR with 2 RB, 3 WR & 1 Flex I've got DJohnson & Freeman starting with Woodhead, at flex & Gore on the bench (with Lockett, Snead, Wheaton & Powell as fleet options).
to add captain peril, AKA Kelly, I'd have to drop someone like Powell or McKinnon, both of whom I think would be more valuable than Kelly if Forte or AP go down or are ineffective.
So yeah - not seeing the great peril here.
But I do agree that in deeper leagues or leagues (14-16-18 team) with deeper benches, Kelly is a decent speculative add. But probably not a lot more, and certainly not a must-add in all formats.
I could be wrong - and hey, I'll be the first to admit it if Kelly blows up.
I could see the tone of this changing if it were week 7 and several starters were out & Jones got hurt, so folks were desperate for a RB, but it's week 3 of the preseason - if you're desperate for Kelly right now, you're either in a 16 team league or you drafted horribly.
Cheers.

But you could do worse than taking a guy who's #1 on the depth chart of a team who passes a ton from a college team that runs a spread offense.
Am I starting him anywhere week 1? Hell no. Would I like him as an option weeks 2-3 if Jones misses extended time? Yes.
There's nothing that leads me to believe he couldn't put up 3.4 yards per carry like Jones did last year.
