Redraft league, RB's are David Johnson, James Conner, Devonta Freeman, Alex Collins, and Matt Breida - can start 3 RB's
Here are my thoughts...
David Johnson - I am a firm believer in "always start your studs", so he will always be in my lineup, no matter how bad of a matchup he has. He really has only put up 1 dud game so far.
James Conner - I am not worried about Bell returning, as I don't think he will play as a Steeler this year. By sheer volume he is also another must start, unless something changes.
Devonta Freeman - I have been lucky enough (thanks to Conner) to do without him through his injury. I started Collins a few times in the flex, and a few WR's too.
Alex Collins - Has been pretty TD dependent, and I am not happy with his volume. He is his own worst enemy with his fumbles, but he does hold trade value to a RB-weak team.
Matt Breida - Just scooped him up when another owner had to drop him. I dropped Peyton Barber for him. Assuming he gets healthy soon, I think he will start getting the bulk over Morris, and the split will get bigger as the season goes on. I wasn't gonna start Barber anyway, and would prefer a guy with a higher ceiling.
Anyway, I would really like to have a third RB to put in the flex with confidence. I just have this gut feeling that Freeman, even when he gets healthy, will not get the volume of an every-down RB. Mixon and Cook are 3-down RB's when healthy, although I would prefer Mixon, as he is much healthier. Also, it seems Cook's injuries are nagging him. That said, do you think offering Freeman and Collins for Mixon is a wise choice? Is it too much, or too little? I need opinions without the bias I may have for the players in question. TIA
