agreed McKinnon rushed for 4.9 a rush in preseason, and is a better pass catcherGood thread.
I would lean McKinnon baed on what I saw preseason.

If you're an AP owner you go all in on Asiata. If you don't, someone else is breaking the bank.What percentage do you bid on either of these guys of free agent money.
That said I also agree with people that are saying Asiata this weekend, that seems true based on snap count. McKinnon will be eased in, no one was expecting this. In a few weeks it might be different. BTW, are we to assume that ADP is done for the year/career? Do you roster him in redraft leagues? Serious question, just curious if anyone would actually cut him. Would the Vikings release him?agreed McKinnon rushed for 4.9 a rush in preseason, and is a better pass catcherGood thread.

Dropped Crowell for Asiata....I'll take the gamble for a starting RB.
Nothing really to hurt if you got a spot
I'm not sure. The nfl really painted itself into a corner by suspending Rice indefinitely. Can they come out and say that Peterson's offense was less egregious? If not, how can they suspend him for fewer games?Not knowing all the facts yet, but this would seem to be more in line w the (I think it was 6) game suspension the NFL announced after the Rice suspension, so I wouldn't drop him yet.
I wouldn't have done that. Crowell has stud RB potential, Asiata doesn't.Dropped Crowell for Asiata....I'll take the gamble for a starting RB.

Not to nitpick but this is Asiata's first year with Norv as OC. Sometimes new coaches don't have allegiance to existing players vs. ones they draft so may be some risk there.I'm no expert, but Asiata seems like the no-brainer replacement to me. I'd expect a reduced running game, so bump Patterson and the rest of the WR/TEs a bit. My reasoning for leaning Asiata is his games last season: 3 TDs in one and almost 10 YPC in the other makes me very happy. You stick with the known quantity as much as possible, especially when he already knows the offense and has NFL experience. McKinnon will get some snaps to be sure, but not in passing situations, and not on the goal line. I want a player who scores. Asiata seems set to get farm more points than McKinnon..
I dropped Crowell and Roethlisberger for the 2. I drop my backup QB, and a 3rd string RB to gain a potential starter on my roster.I do not think you should be dropping anyone of legitimate value or bidding your entire FAAB budget on Asiata unless you're in a pinch and are in need of his services asap. His ceiling is essentially that of a RB2 based on projected volume but if you wouldn't even debate starting him right away he's likely not worth your time, even as depth. If you're looking for depth, you should be looking at McKinnon because his upside is that of a RB1.
Sure, but they do have allegiance to guys who can pass protect, which is why Asiata is the choice this week.Not to nitpick but this is Asiata's first year with Norv as OC.

That's another legitimate approach. I'm mostly talking about leagues where the WW isn't a free for all. I don't expect to be able to grab both in any of my leagues.I dropped Crowell and Roethlisberger for the 2.

Dropped players go up for bid twice a week, any players unclaimed between periods becomes free for all. So I will have to win a bid to get Crowell/Ben back if needed.That's another legitimate approach. I'm mostly talking about leagues where the WW isn't a free for all.

I think that is the most likely scenario (Ray McDonald like) and seems to be the proper one since he hast been convicted of anything and something about the evidence was not strong enough for the grand jury to indict the first time, but... given what has happened with Rice and his suspension going from 2 games to forever,and Gordon going from 16 games to 10, as Bloom said, "I have absolutely no faith in my ability to predict what the NFL might do."IMO - You should plan on Peterson playing next week. He was arrested but should be released fairly quickly - little risk he will leave the US. He was deactivated because he won't be in town this weekend. The trial if it takes place will likely be in the off season and any suspension would probably be next year,
I'd easily drop Helu for McKinnon.Whats the dyno play here? In a 12 team deep roster league and both are available.
Would anyone drop Roy Helu or Tre Mason for either?

Its been five minutes and someone picked up Mckinnon. I don't know anything about the kid, or Asiata, I only saw a little of Asiata in the preseason, he looked okay.I'd drop Helu for McKinnon even without AP's suspension in dynasty.
Matt Asiata = the next Stephen Davis.You might get a one week pop from Asiata, but McKinnon seems like the upside play for the season
D Hopkins = dozens of dudes in the league.Thinking about dropping Manziel/D. Hopkins/ or Crowell myself...stupid fantasy football
What do you mean? Hopkins is the last of those guys I would drop.D Hopkins = dozens of dudes in the league.Thinking about dropping Manziel/D. Hopkins/ or Crowell myself...stupid fantasy football

I'd probably be cool dumping helu9/10/2011: Signed a seven-year, $96 million contract. The deal contains $36 million guaranteed, $32 million of which is guaranteed for skill and the other $4 million for injury. Another $4 million is available through escalators. An annual $250,000 workout bonus is available throughout the life of the deal. 2014: $11.75 million, 2015: $12.75 million, 2016: $14.75 million, 2017: $16.75 million, 2018: Free Agent

12 games is my prediction. No video, but Rice set a new precedent for zero tolerance. If it's anything less than 8, social media and people who have never watched the NFL are going to flip.I think that is the most likely scenario (Ray McDonald like) and seems to be the proper one since he hast been convicted of anything and something about the evidence was not strong enough for the grand jury to indict the first time, but... given what has happened with Rice and his suspension going from 2 games to forever,and Gordon going from 16 games to 10, as Bloom said, "I have absolutely no faith in my ability to predict what the NFL might do."IMO - You should plan on Peterson playing next week.

Ridley was dropped in my league for him.How high of a drafted player are you dropping for one of these guys? Pierre thomas? Andre Williams?
Thoughts?What kind of FAAB are you guys putting in for both Asiata and McKinnon?
Of course they do. Put the RBs in alphabetical order.I'm a little pissed that FFPC doesn't even have McKinnon available to pick up.
