I was likely going to drop Michael but this news will have me hold him for another week or two and see what happens. There's no one that I'm in love with on the wire except for Reed this week and I likely won't get him.They're saying Randle might be out a while.Nopei have the #1 waiver and McFadden is sitting there. You guys think he's going to remain atop the Cowboys backfield ROS? Personally I have no idea what's going to happen week to week and wonder if I really want to get involved. Didn't see this coming.
First off this is McFadden we are talking about. More carries = more risk getting hurt.
I think some like Randall.
As for CMike apparently nobody in two franchises likes him.
If I can get 4-5 weeks of solid RB2 production out of my waiver-wire pickup, I'll be more than happy.
NFL Network's Rand Getlin reports Joseph Randle is dealing with an oblique injury.
Randle struggled with an oblique injury in training camp which forced him to miss the first preseason game. Getlin reports the Cowboys expect him to "miss some time." Darren McFadden dominated snaps on his way to 152 yards and a touchdown against the Giants Sunday. McFadden will be an RB2 even in a tough matchup against Seattle this week if Randle is forced to sit.

He's the most talented RB on a team
Good analysis, but...I can't help but look at Blue vs. Polk and compare that to the W/L record.I'm not understanding a lot in this thread -- seems like a lot of conjecture over actual data.
Blue is the cuff; Polk is a COP, and Grimes used as the receiving back. When Foster was out the first 3 weeks, it was Blue that was the primary runner, with nearly twice as many attempts and 2.6x the yardage -- including his monster 31/139/1 game in week 3 against Tampa. Even after Foster returned, Blue still got more carries than Polk. So how is Blue not the guy here?
With Randle going out in the first quarter, you would think there would be no better situation to use CMike. Yet it was all McFadden -- DMac got the calls, and did fantastic with them. Meanwhile CMike did less with his 5 carries than Randle did with the two he got, then got outrushed by a no-name WR Lucky Whitehead. Yet CMike is a hold?
Amendola goes 8/86/1 but LaFell (with 2/25 and a few drops) is the better waiver play?
I'll be the first to admit that anything can happen, and in all three of these situations, the story isn't fully told. Can certainly see Polk challenging Blue if Blue struggles, or DMac getting injured, or the return of Lewis affecting Amendola's usage.
But it's headscratching why, at this point in time, with what we know of these teams, some are so convinced that bypassing a WW player who has already proven himself in situations already is the move.
I actually don't think it's as fluid as that.Good analysis, but...I can't help but look at Blue vs. Polk and compare that to the W/L record.I'm not understanding a lot in this thread -- seems like a lot of conjecture over actual data.

Blue's biggest (and only big) game came in the TB win. Polk's WORST game came in the TB win.
Look at the Tampa game, and clearly, when Hou is winning, they run the ball...and Blue is the guy.
Look at ALL the other games, and Blue's carries are a lot fewer. Polk's production (at least in my 0.5PPR league) is a lot "better," relatively speaking.
To me, this is a decision based on how Houston will play the remainder of their games. If they're winning, it's Blue, clearly, and he might even put up serviceable numbers. If they're playing from behind, Polk will get the "majority" of the work...but honestly probably not enough to be serviceable.
Based on how they've been playing, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Houston only win 1 or 2 more games all year...which severely limits Blue's value. Mind you, I'm not advocating for Polk, just saying that I'd bet that for 7-8 of remaining 9 games, Polk will outscore Blue. I think both will be low-end RB3/RB4 plays in most weeks.
Yeah, I was all set to drop Michael in my main redraft, but sooner or later he could be the only healthy RB left on the Cowboys.I was likely going to drop Michael but this news will have me hold him for another week or two and see what happens.

Yeah...I guess I could see that. I'm not sure what to make of the fact that Blue only had one big game though. I guess the potential answer is that "he struggles a lot."I actually don't think it's as fluid as that.Good analysis, but...I can't help but look at Blue vs. Polk and compare that to the W/L record.I'm not understanding a lot in this thread -- seems like a lot of conjecture over actual data.

The way I read it is that Blue will be given the first opportunity to carry the load outside of obvious passing situations. But if Blue struggles, Polk may be given a shot at being the feature back. Or maybe even Grimes.
I think we need to see how it plays out over the next week or so.
It's not just the one big game. It's the consistent ratio of carries Blue gets, and the situational use he has as the primary back. Not saying Polk is worthless -- to your point, as the receiving back on a team that throws a lot, he has value in PPR. And has latent value if Blue goes down or is ineffective.Yeah...I guess I could see that. I'm not sure what to make of the fact that Blue only had one big game though.

I've got the #1 waiver claim in my league, and honestly, I'm not using it on Polk or Blue. I had Blue last year, and actually he helped me a lot, but the Texans just aren't running the ball like they were last year.
This is a really good question. Unfortunately, the last update I saw on him was Friday, Oct 23. He had not practiced as of that time. If he could get on the field again, he would be worth a pick up.Has ASJ practiced at all the last 3-4 weeks?
Ben does lean on Miller from time to time, but also recall that Bell was out then. Bell often serves as the safety valve for Ben. Not very high upside, maybe a reasonable floor.Lionsfan011 said:Heath Miller for the TE starved.
Big Ben should be back this week and Miller put up double digit points (ppr) the first two weeks when Big Ben was healthy. Miller averaged 8 points/game last year. Could do worse.
Bell and Bryant were both out. Miller's not a terrible pickup if you're TE starved. Every league is different but most will have a few higher upside TEs available.Ben does lean on Miller from time to time, but problem is the first two weeks is that Bell was out then.

Last news on that was 2 weeks ago...will be 3 weeks by game time. Anything recent?Alf Blue has turf toe.
Aaron Wilson says it is better and no contact with Pierre:Last news on that was 2 weeks ago...will be 3 weeks by game time. Anything recent?Alf Blue has turf toe.
Mine too. Another #3 WR on a high scoring offense, Michael Floyd, hasn't been on a roster all year in my 12 teamer.Devante Adams is sitting out there on mine --
I certainly follow your logic but is he really the #3 WR in GB? It will be interesting to see how long it takes Davante to gain the snap count advantage on James Jones. Cobb is clearly #1A while Jordy was 1B. Now Jordy is gone, Cobb is dinged, they don't use the TE, the run game has been less than stellar and Adams is returning from a multiple week injury.Mine too. Another #3 WR on a high scoring offense, Michael Floyd, hasn't been on a roster all year in my 12 teamer.Devante Adams is sitting out there on mine --
I find myself wondering why I'd care about Adams after ignoring Floyd the last several weeks.
Just got him. Hoping he produces so I can trade for a RB.Crazy. Go get him!Devante Adams is sitting out there on mine --
looking at it before the season, i couldnt find a packers #3 WR who produced at a startable fantasy level, so until jones or cobb miss time, i cant see adams doing much fantasy-wise on a consistent basisCrazy. Go get him!Devante Adams is sitting out there on mine --
if DNP today may be worth looking atwormburner said:Khiry Robinson? RotoWorld included this line in their Mark Ingram blurb, "He also seemed to tweak something late, but didn't receive any treatment on the sideline."
Interesting. Haven't heard about anything with Ingram so far, so who knows.wormburner said:Khiry Robinson? RotoWorld included this line in their Mark Ingram blurb, "He also seemed to tweak something late, but didn't receive any treatment on the sideline."
Agreed. Also, keep in mind that his next two opponents are Denver and Carolina. I still think he's worth a stash, but if you have a short bench it may be hard to justify holding on to him through two more unproductive weeks.iamkoza said:looking at it before the season, i couldnt find a packers #3 WR who produced at a startable fantasy level, so until jones or cobb miss time, i cant see adams doing much fantasy-wise on a consistent basisGandalf said:Crazy.

Powell or Ridley or Stacy?
For the long term beyond the next two weeks,sure.David Cobb a good pickup? Just lost Foster.
I got Blue for 7.6% of my FAAB and it was really just a "#### it I'll bid but don't expect to get him" type deal. I'm sad that I actually won the claim haha.Dude just bid his entire budget (first time he bid on anyone all year) on blue. He lost foster but he still has ingram ivory martin and Lynch
I picked up Darkwa, Joique, and ASJ.Franknbeans said:Went for the Darkwa meat and some Andrews leftovers
Keep him and wait to see how things turn out. IMO it turns into a 50/50 split once they bye is over.Is Karlos Williams avail for you guys? I picked him up. Maybe he can come back after the bye from the scary multi-week concussion. He started the year on fire.
Little bit of a shorter bench league so not that crazy that he was out there I guess. But yeah thanks I agree.Keep him and wait to see how things turn out.

He started the year on fire.
Grabbed him for free after waivers went through. Everyone was bidding on Blue and Polk.Jonathan Grimes could end up being best value. I expect him to shoulder the receiving portion of what Foster was doing which is what gave him so much PPR value. He's 1/5th the cost of Polk or Blue and could score more points
