Baltimore - ranked best against the run by PFF.
Shady - Hurt ankle
FBG - RB2!
I'm missing something. Badly.

Ummmm.....he plays for the best offense in football. ??
Maybe Baltimore is #1 against the run, but the opportunities are still there to score points.

I think they were also close to that by PFF grade and by FO DVOA for all of last year, too.

Probably using last year’s meeting, too. Combining the stats by Ware and D. Williams, the RB spot was very productive. Basically, it’s the great KC offense and I think it’s the pass catching part is doing it, as well. There’s risk starting him due to being hurt, but again, he’s on a great offense that opens up a lot of (good) possibilities.

Fair enough. My point was their success against the run didn't come out of the blue.

You have to look at opponents faced with early season Defense rankings. According to Yahoo, the browns are number one against the pass..... they played the titans and the Jets w/ a 3rd string QB... I doubt the browns are top 16 against pass by end of year....

Sure. I'm using the end of last year and this year's normalization when I use Football Outsiders's DAVE and DVOA and using PFF from last year and the beginning of this one.
I guess it's my roundabout way of disagreeing with FBG and benching Shady if he goes for another RB or a receiver at flex. My RB2 is either Michel or Jacobs in two instances where this comes into play, and I'm more comfortable rolling with them, though Jacobs's health needs to be monitored.

Well all is clearly lost. McCoy is going to start in a barn burner.

Your tone is lost on me. It's more like they're sending out a gimpy, old sacrificial lamb to the bloodletting service at six A.M.
Ouch.
I'm starting McCoy in one deep league.

I think the Baltimore defense is getting way too much credit after AZ and Miami. I think this game could be another 100 pointer. Like KC LA last year. Even if Baltimore's defense is legit KC is still going to drop 40. Vegas has the over under at 52.5 but I'm saying more like 69.5. When I said 100 earlier I did say *could*. But really I think this has epic shootout written all over it. I don't think I can bench McCoy in the one spot I have him. Too many points to be scored out there. Do I trust him hell no.

This is the actual statement from ESPN that RW is referring to above:Your tone is lost on me. It's more like they're sending out a gimpy, old sacrificial lamb to the bloodletting service at six A.M.

>>LeSean McCoy appears he will be ready to play but the Chiefs are likely to be cautious about overloading him.<<

KC hasn’t said McCoy is on a snap count or anything like that. It’s reasonable speculation.

Two TD's. It might not last going forward but this feels good today. He looks good out there

Yum, yum so far!
Now, hopefully that ankle of his holds up and that this good game isn’t a fluke. I so want someone to take control of this backfield as soon as possible!

I didn't over think it I had him in and this report came out that Darrel Williams was getting the start and Darwin Thompson 2nd in. How is that over thinking it. It's called this reporter is clueless and apparently you can't listen to info. Fantasy Football was better in the 90s when you only relied on yourself and not anything else because there was nothing else.

I guess we just read it differently, I don't know. I didn't read that tweet as saying he had info that Williams was starting, I read it as him openly inferring it because of the way pregame warmup snaps were being handed out...and I chose to not give that much importance because if McCoy was looking bad enough to be 3rd in the pecking order, they wouldn't risk playing him imo.

The ankle injury did pop up...questionable return now...

I'm starting over Michel, Gore, and Shady's counterpart, Darrel.
Have him going in two leagues, but I kind of need to have him going. I hope his health holds out.

I, too, have Carson and Shady in one league. At this moment, I am going with Carson. Of course, I am hoping for the best with Carson, and that he redeems himself. Now if I knew Shady didn’t have any ankle issues right now, regardless of practicing fully on Thursday and Friday, I would start him over Carson without question. I want to see how Shady holds up one more week. I’m not worried about Darrel backing him up.

Starting him over AP and Hardman at flex in one league. Not starting him in another with Zeke, Conner, David Johnson, and Fournette with two flex spots. Don't read much into the last one because it is an only an 8 team low money league.

Yep! I learned a lot due to having Matt Breida last year, so I rather give it one more week with Shady. I have the option to do that, but that KC offense looks so yummy! It’s so hard to say no. It’s like the forbidden fruit. Lol

Yep, I have thought of that, too. Yet I see Penny not fully healthy right now, so that broke the tie for me, even if he’s active; also reading those articles showing support for Carson helped. Of course, it could be a trap. Overall, it’s how lucky do you feel? With me, I’m going with Carson but I don’t feel 100% confident in it. I do feel like he is my weakest starter in one lineup this week, but Shady’s ankle issue has me saying that I should bench him one more week. I will say that Carson got 15 carries last week, but that was then. Shady could have a good game with no setback.

Carson>McCoy>Gordon this week in my opinion. Though that might be the reverse order for their rest of season value.
