I like the spirit of this post but i also think Henderson has shown the highest ceiling IMO so far. I already have Brown and Henderson but I feel like once Akers is clear and starts getting more reps and as we move in to say Weeks 8 and 9, you're going to hear his name more and I just wonder if you need all 3 on your roster or which 2 of the 3 will be toting the rock come Weeks 10, 11, 12 and 13 as owners make that playoff push.travdogg said:

Did Rotoworld really call 15 rushes for 38 yards and 30 yards receiving a “big statistical day”? The TD is the only thing that saved his fantasy day because that is pathetic production with that number of touches.
18.8 in standard, 20.3 in 0.5 PPR. That's probably what they meant by "statistical".
I am so torn. I have a bunch of receivers in my Dynasty league and some guy in my league wants me to trade Marquise Brown for Henderson, a 2022 second rounder and a lower player (might try for this Travis Fulgham guy. I'm so torn because I like Henderson's talent but not sure about the situation. I don't trust McVay or the Rams.
And we know McVay isn’t scared to have a workhorse. He fed Gurley like none other. I wonder if there are parts of DH’s game that McVay doesn’t trust or if he got spooked by what happened with Gurley’s knee.
I agree. He used Gurley as the centerpiece of his offense,maybe he is a little gun shy,but when Gurley was there he really had no one to back him up.
Its impossible to predict!
Good post.. we posted these about 2 minutes apart, and I agree.
I would take that. I don't think Brown is going to be consistent enough to be more than a flex starter.
Isn’t it so weird that Henderson and CEH who were probably the 2 most exciting backs in terms of pass catching of the last 2 years seem be used mostly as 1st and 2nd down grinders. I am not sure if it’s problematic or a sign of how much potential they are on the verge of unlocking.
His ankle got rolled up on near the endzone while going out of bounds. He sort of limp/jogged it off to the bench and Brown came in. When I saw it I thought it could be bad, but then he came back in on the next series so I just assumed it was minor. Doubt it’s serious but something to watch.
The CEH usage is so odd to me...was expecting more creativity being with Mahomes/Reid and what he showed at LSU...gotta believe it is coming but if it is not they may have been better off drafting Taylor for this role.
I really don't know.
So you're saying McVay will script 6 passes in the first 8 plays and, after finally giving the ball to DH 4 times he won't touch the ball again until 2 quarters later despite a 5.8 YPC?
I picked up Malcolm Brown. Akers is also available. Up until now, even when thinking Henderson was the lead back, Brown has dominated snaps when the Rams are behind. If the Seahawks are able to put up points I would expect LA to throw a lot. Plus the Bills were very successful last week basically abandoning the run from the opening drive. Throwing to the wide receivers should be the primary mode of attack. If Henderson is active and healthy he should get the majority of the carries. But passing downs usually go to Brown. And if Henderson is out then this is at most a two-headed backfield.
Exactly, I don't see where Brown's role really expands, he plays more on passing situations and isn't really asked to move the team a lot between the 20s. He also seems to find TDs or red zone looks, he has the trust of the coaching staff.
