I'd consider this in deep leagues, but I'd have to be pretty desperate for a RB. Their OL is abysmal... and they're running a 3-way split in the backfield with Peterson rumors of a return later this year swirling.

Why Matt Jones? Gruden just came out and said he'd have to earn reps back from Kelley. Sounds to me like Kelley gets the majority of early down work as long as he produces.

Is there any life left in Percy Harvin? Just maybe? (wishful thinking)

I think the first 2 are a toss up but Bernard should be in that mix and maybe on top if you play PPR. His role is defined, you know he'll get touches.BlueDredSo said:

The quote I read from Gruden wasn't as clear cut as you make it seem. I read that Jones will get his touches but have to earn the role they believe he should have which I interpret as they think he should be he starter.Boone22 said:

I don't see it that way at all. It looks to be Kelley's job to lose at this point.

J.J Nelson, if he's still available he needs to be rostered. Arians said he's their starting WR now and he played on 80% and 92% of the snaps and drew 7 and 12 targets respectively.
If Smith Sr. was dropped for whatever reason he should be picked back up. He played on 83% of the snaps and drew the most (7) targets of all BAL WRs upon his return. As an aside, Wallace played on only 50% of the snaps, his lowest of the season.
Ivory's snaps didn't change last week (played on 44% which is in line with his season average) but he was utilized 20 times. The new OC clearly favors Ivory over Yeldon.
M. Lee's snaps continued to increase and Hurns is now dealing with a concussion. Sadly, JAC's schedule is ###.
Albert Wilson is an interesting case. He saw ~60% of the snaps in weeks 1 and 2 but then fell off a cliff (only saw about ~20% until yesterday). With Maclin out he saw 71% of the snaps, Conely saw 88%. More importantly, Wilson was targeted 8 times where as Conely was only targeted 4 times. This was with Foles however so it's hard to read too much into. If Maclin sits however I'd probably be more inclined to go with Conely. They have a plus match-up vs. CAR this week.
Perkins played on 34% of the snaps and was utilized 14 times, both season highs. He's an obvious pick up.
Bryce Treggs. Some dude did a write up on him and posted it on reddit last week. It actually panned out to some extent which blew my mind. He only saw 20% of the snaps and 4 targets but produced (2/69/0). Given the fact that DGB is as raw as ever and Agholor isn't even practice squad worthy I think you need to keep an eye on Treggs, at least in deep leagues. He looks to be a legitimate vertical threat and definitely made a case for more work.
Eli Rogers saw 67% of the snaps and 10 targets upon his return. He's an easy grab in PPR IMO. It also looks like PIT is phasing out Jesse James. Xavier Grimble played on more snaps than him for the first time all season. Of course, Ladarius Green may be returning soon.
I still think Inman needs to be rostered. Although he didn't turn his 9 targets into a monster stat line last week, he still tied Gates for the most targets on the team. Benjamin, although a completely different WR, will likely not be right for the rest of the season and that will continue to lead to an increased opportunity for Inman.
I'll echo the sentiments that I'd prefer Mike James over Barber. He's a more complete back and is at least the correct choice in PPR.

I can't imagine him not being rostered already.
Hell he was drafted and held in all of mine

Are u seriously asking why owners would roster the clear cut hand cuff rb for the best O line and rushing team in the nfl?
He isn't available in any of the mid stakes leagues I play in.

Footballguy
He was drafted in mine, held in none.
Leagues are different. We have very short benches - intentionally making tough choices the norm. There are always guys out there that you want... you just have to drop someone you want to get em. Handcuffs are hard to hold onto.

Lewis, Ivory, Asiata, Barber.
If you need immediate help Ivory, because you may want to see how the Pats ease Lewis in.
Ivory in standard if you think his usage from last game continues.

I'm all in on Bibbs. Claimed him in both of my leagues.
Kubiak is a guy that doesn't seem to mess around mincing words about his RBs, and Denver had been desperate to run the ball.
This write-up has some tasty quotes if you read between the lines a little bit.
http://www.denverpost.com/2016/11/08/kapri-bibbs-broncos-running-back-more-touches/
if Bibbs takes over, he's at least a nice Flex or better (RB2 upside) over the ROS. In the least it sounds like he might be the receiving back, which could be Flex-worthy regardless.

Don't know if it matters if the team doesn't use him.
He was on the field a few times on MN - I just don't remember him touching the ball. Didn't he run it once?

I'm in 7 different leagues and I'm pretty sure he's not on any roster other than the one dynasty league. Having a handcuff is just fine but at some point most people can't afford to have that dead weight on the team. DeAngelo Williams is available is almost every league as well.

DWill has a knee injury.
Morris was drafted in both of my leagues and has been parked on both benches since.
Most valuable handcuff in fantasy football right now IMO. EE is a very high usage rookie RB - injuries happen. The more a guy carries the mail, the more hits he takes. Every one a chance for Morris to have a role.
not saying it's going to happen, just saying why I think it makes sense that he's rostered in all but the shallowest of leagues.
Shocked he's available in 6/7 leagues for you.

I picked him up shortly after I drafted Elliott. It didn't take too long before I dropped him for other backs with real opportunities to start. Sometimes you don't have the luxury to wait. If my roster was looking very strong I would pick him back up but right now I need guys who are actually playing.
Hot Sauce Guy
Footballguy
Oh I understand that - was just pointing out the differences between DWill & Morris has better health & better opportunity.
Bur either you've got the roster spot for him or you ain't. I get it. Been there.
Can't imagine that the all EE owners in all those leagues r doing so poorly that they can't find room for his backup; not too mention all the other teams that are doing well that wouldn't have the foresight to roster him for the stretch. Its all good, wish I played in some of those leagues, hes owned in 96% of FBG FPC leagues

Only 36% of Sportsline leagues, but there are a LOT of public leagues with short benches in CBS, plus 8 & 10 team leagues.

absolutely. at this point not even that. this isn't like last year when ingram was out of the picture. ingram is still the clear cut starter. at best it's a 50-50 timeshare and hightower has proven he needs more carries to be fantasy relevant. i am an ingram owner for years, but this isn't an ingram owner hoping for something. as long as ingram is healthy, it's a crapshoot for hightower. actually, as long as ingram is healthy AND not fumbling.

I picked up Kendricks this week and dropped Fleener. Will rotate Kendricks in behind Ebron.
From a Roto Start/Sit article this morning...
#1 in TE targets over the past 4 weeks. Thats not usual to find on the wire in the last half of the season. I have decent hopes here.

Dropped last week by another owner. Considering picking him up but is he a better option than Novak, Santos, Hopkins, etc. Novak's schedule is good with having Jacksonville twice, SD.

starting Bibbs in all four leagues where I have him - 3 at RB2 and one at Flex ... should be 50/50 share on carries but Bibbs will also get more receptions and they ARE playing the Saints - look what they did for DuJuan Harris' numbers last week
Cecil is aggresively downplaying Bibbs, which is ironically fueling the hype because of parallels to his dismissive approach to Seimian earlier in the year...

It's articles like this that gives people reason to take a chance on him. http://denver.cbslocal.com/2016/11/10/kapri-bibbs-earns-bigger-role-in-struggling-broncos-offense/
I picked up Bibbs but I've been going back and forth on starting him or Kelley. Right now I plan on starting Kelley.

Agree. Bibbs earned more looks if only because Booker was pedestrian. But aside from that long play, didn't see anything that made me feel Bibbs was that more special than Booker.

It is getting very crazy. There are people saying he will get 50% of the carries because he had one good run. You always need to ignore the hype on this board.rawdog said:
I do think he could be a decent play this week. I would think he gets 8-10 touches. Against the Saints that could be enough.
