2024 RB Lotto Ticket Rankings (1 Viewer)

[Skolpnw]

Thanks for updating this.

Tank looked pretty good this past week and seems like he's over his shoulder injury, while ETN picked up a shoulder injury of his own. He does play for the Jags though...

Also, with BRob (WAS) nursing a knee, what are everyone's thoughts on Ekeler? I thought he looked really good before getting concussed, and the WAS running game seems to be humming.

McNichols actually looked pretty good, so that may eat into Ekeler’s value

HOU: Cam Akers flopped Dameon Pierce (59.3){Trade looming?}

I would add Dare Ogunbowale. At least until Mixon comes back. He actually has more snaps than Akers on the season, meaning he got time when Mixon was playing. He is definitely their preferred receiving back with Mixon out as well as the 2 minute & 4 minute offense guy, and he had 39 snaps last week compared to 40 for Akers.

If Houston is playing with a lead, my guess is Akers is the preferred option but in close games or coming from behind Ogunbowale is probably the guy.

Week 6 Update

Colors and Emojis!?

Green is me being excited to get them on the team ASAP

AFC North

• BAL: Keaton Mitchell(73.5){IR Bonus}Justice Hill(71.5)
• CIN:Trayveon Williams(UR)

AFC South

• HOU: Dare Ogunbowale short term option pending injuries Cam Akers flopped Dameon Pierce (59.3){Trade looming?}
• IND: Trey Sermon(ADP: 77.5) short term boost into starter, Immediate stash-ability if HAS sprain diminsihes JT.

NFC East

• DAL: Malik Davis? Dalvin Cook (UR) GL upside if Zeke goes down.
• NYG:Tyrone Tracy Jr. (54.5) Going to KM him as a bold and premature, but wow 18 for 129 and had so many explosive runs, this guy only caught 1 ball and that is his strength -that was untapped this game. Hopefully forced a split going forward on an improved NYG team, Singletary should return tho.
• PHI: Kenneth Gainwell(67.5),Will Shipley(68)

• CAR:Miles Sanders(76)

18 in total. Feel free to shout out anyone missed or wanting to endorse. I feel good about who is highlighted enough to at least monitor closely.

 

[icehouse]

Are y'all holding Guerendo through the byes?

 

[Big Nate]

Are y'all holding Guerendo through the byes?

Depends on the league/size/benches. What might be good for you might not work for someone else.

Always the case for cuffs and backups. Can you afford to hold or do you need a spot start? Sucks dropping him if something happens to Mason and he gets the starting role but thats how it goes sometimes.

 

[zamboni]

LAC: Kimani Vidal(UR), Might be good for later in the season just monitor on speedial

Starting to look a bit closer at Vidal.

Gus Edwards didn’t practice today, which is a bit of an eyebrow raise considering the team just had a bye. Plus he’s been very ineffective.

Dobbins had a great start but has cooled off (albeit against two good defenses) and may not be the guy he looked to be. Factor in his injury history and an offense totally committed to the run, not out of the realm of possibility that Vidal gets some run.

 

[Hartliner]

FWIW, I dropped Wicks for my bonus #6 lotto ranked Ray Davis, prolly dumb longterm but, if James Cook has turf toe Ray Davis will be a 3 down RB and I need a lotto hit.

 

[packer_junkie]

Not sure how ray davis will be a 3 down RB when Ty Johnson has outsnapped him

 

[RaidersAreOne]

Top 5 Possible KingMakers ranked: 1. Tyler Allgeier, 2.Braelon Allen, 3. Blake Corum

That's hilarious, I have all 3 on the same team. All 3 of my starting RBs are banged up (JT, Achane and Robinson Jr) so I may be forced to start one of these guys alongside Chase Brown.

I never wish for injuries but man I would be sitting pretty if Bijan, Breece or Kyren were to ever miss time.

 

[4th&inches]

I literally just dropped Ray Davis over the weekend. Now I need to figure out if I wanna drop either Corum or Whittington (10 targets/ 7 rec last week) to pick Davis back up...

 

[sushinsky4tsar]

Are y'all holding Guerendo through the byes?

This is the high stakes one that I'm dealing with in dynasty right now. Someone lost patience and dropped him. I really want to stash him as the CMC manager that didn't get Mason. Part of the idea is that either CMC eventually gets back and looks like a guy that's going to be in my lineup for a couple more years -or- Guerendo becomes an asset, even with Mason around.

He really seems raw, or at least his vision seems pretty atrocious at this point. I don't see them handing over the top spot anytime soon. In the event of a Mason injury, I view it as a certain trade where the incoming player probably ascends to the top.

That said, there's too much at stake if I'm wrong and Guerendo really is the next man up. Missed out on Mason. Can't afford to miss out on Guerendo if the baton gets handed off. Basically, if I'm passing, it's because I'm making a call that the player doesn't have "it". That might be the case with Guerendo, but how sure am I? The stakes are large with this backfield.

At this point, I guess I value my rostered RBs of Dameon Pierce, Vidal, and McLaughlin a little more. I might even prefer to bring back an Herbert or Miles Sanders to see if there's a trade ahead of the deadline. But I really am tempted to add Guerendo. Probably more of a 2025 lotto ticket than 2024, but maybe there's a path in '24 if a Mason injury happens after the trade deadline.

But who to drop?

D. Pierce - Manages to make himself unavailable for Mixon's absence. Of course the hammy is doing better as soon as Mixon is on the way back.

McLaughlin - Shifty little bugger, but is it ever going to translate to any volume to make him a reliable lineup option?

Vidal - Might finally get in a game. But should I really prioritize 6th round draft capital on the Chargers over 4th round capital on the 49ers just because Waldman really likes him?

 

[Hartliner]

The Tyrone Tracy Jr. route. I think Ray Davis can be special.

[Lansdowne]

Figured I’d share this since I already have in the preseason thread, but I’m still in on the Sean Tucker agenda as a deep lotto ticket with kingmaker upside.

*** 2024 NFL Preseason Game Observations Thread ***

I can't tell if I'm watching the Bears or the Falcons when Houston plays. Awful uniform change. Add the Broncos to this list. Terrible uniform decisions by these teams. More likely by a strong persuasion from Nike.

As of Tuesday Oct 15th.​

AFC East

• BUF:Ray Davis(53) #2 3 Down back on a Great Offense- I expect a RBBC, so much trust given was great to see and everyone saw in primetime. I would blow the budget and at least consider keep away from others. He led the team in receiving yards!!! Cook is not washed but maybe consider selling high to James Cook owner.
• MIA:Jaylen Wright(47) week 8 Tua returns get him before then if you believe, I do fwiw.
• NEP:Antonio Gibson(48) Flopped their opportunity
• NYJ:Braelon Allen(55.5) #4 This is more on the coaching change showing the decreased role and no longer flex worthy. They still are a great backup w/ talent.

AFC North

• BAL: Keaton Mitchell(73.5){IR Bonus}Justice Hill(71.5)

• IND: Trey Sermon(ADP: 77.5) short term boost into starter, Immediate stash-ability if HAS sprain diminsihes JT.but not a league winner kingmaker imo. Tyler Goodson - speed dial RB if Trey Sermon is declared out. He has had some impressive carries the last 2 weeks and could be RB2 spot start against Mia. He's avg over 5 yards per carry. 5/26 and then 8/51 the last 2 weeks. Basically free you might just want to watch the report on friday for Sermon if limited again or just pick him up now and see.
• JAC: Tank Bigsby(65.5) ETN has yet another injury, opens the door some more but coaching seems dumb they need to fire Coach like the jets did after the LON games, must roster and consider selling high if you can. ETN week 2 week, most likely will miss time.

NFC East

• DAL: Dalvin Cook (UR) GL upside if Zeke goes down.
• NYG:Tyrone Tracy Jr. (54.5) Felt good to crown him early last week and start him in week 6. Took the crown away since its back to being speculated, but hopefully forced a split going forward on an improved NYG team and he flashed the 3 down abilities as a pass catcher. Choo Choo! Singletary should return tho and make this a RBBC, but I'm not too worried- Tyrone is special imo.

I think you hit on all of them, but keep an eye on James Conner's ankle status. Gannon said after the game that Conner didn't play in the second half due to game script (it was only 24-10 at the half) rather than injury, but you never know.

Good point - he's typically a bell cow and very active in the passing game.

 

[kyoun1e]

Curious where people think J. Warren is on the lotto ticket list?

Was surprised to see him dropped last week. Picked him up.

However, there are some other upside stashes out there like B. Corum, K. Vidal, and E. Wilson out there where if the starter goes down, they immediately jump into volume.

Warren didn't seem to do much Sunday, but maybe they eased him in.

I picked him up a few weeks ago after the previous owner dropped him, hoping that he'd return to at least a 50/50 split like he had last year.

He did see the field a lot, but didn't touch the ball much and didn't do much with it. Also didn't help that Najee finally had a good game as the workhorse.

Trying to avoid dropping him, as I think his usage will go up and he may actually have some stand alone value. Perhaps even this coming week on SNF against the Jets in a passing down role.

Oh Warren would be a top priority IMO for 12+ team leagues, Pit known RBBC was not included in list for same reasons as why Moss/Brown, Monty/Gibbs etc. I just wanted a good concise scope.

Looks like Russ may be starting, which may help Warren's touches since there are likely to be fewer designed QB runs or taking off when no one is open downfield.

 

[xenon]

Who is the better speculative pick up (standard scoring & PPR?

• Jaylen Wright
• Dameon Pierce

 

[Insein]

Who is the better speculative pick up (standard scoring & PPR?

• Jaylen Wright
• Dameon Pierce

I took Pierce. We saw what he could do as a rookie. Then it looked like he had a real hard time figuring out the new offense last year. Now reports are that he's been working hard and the coaches and team love his attitude. Trading away Akers proves their trust in him. If Mixon were to go down again, I feel like Pierce is an RB2 instantly.

Wright has a lot of upside but needs 2-3 injuries ahead of him to have real value. He can give you some flex value if Achane goes down but if Mostert is still there, I don't think he gets more than 5-6 touches. Just a lot to move out of the way for him to get real lead back potential.

This is all redraft speculation btw. Dynasty I'd lean Wright.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Thanks @Hartliner

Great work, per usual

 

[BobbyLayne]

Besides my starters, holding 6 tickets:

• Allgeier
• Benson
• Corum
• Vidal
• Warren
• K Mitchell (IR)

Finally had to quit Marshawn Lloyd because I needed the IR slot.

 

[packer_junkie]

Holding:
Bucky (forced to start some)
Corum
Vidal
R Davis
Lloyd
CEH

With my only qb as justin fields, I traded Tyrone Tracy for Kyler Murray yesterday. Don't feel good about it but my head says thats a committee moving forward

 

[kyoun1e]

Wow. You all have deep benches.

Can only afford to hold:

* B. Allen
* T. Tracy
* R. Dowdle
* J. Warren

And I'm hoping Dowdle and Tracy are "graduating" to more of a flex/RB2 situation.

Probably dropping Warren for Z. Moss.

 

[finfansteve]

If JT isn’t OUT this week I need to cut one of these guys

Guerendo
Vidal
Warren
Kendre miller

And am torn which one to let go but I’ll figure it out the curveball is the saints playing tonight

I'd lean cutting Kendre, barring injury I think this game will be showcasing Saints are very very injured. Not a lot of ceiling in that for Kendre. The others have clearer instances to hit a ceiling imo.

 

[sushinsky4tsar]

Local scoops guy, Darren Wolfson, just stated that the Vikings preferred target was Khalil Herbert over Cam Akers. There was dialogue with the Bears, but unsurprisingly, Bears weren't matching the Texans price tag on Akers for a trade in-division.

Suggested that Chicago might have been asking for a 5th. I'm not sure if that means a 5th for 7th swap (Akers was a 6-7 swap). A 5th straight up seems a little rich for a free agent that's not playing, but both teams are in the playoff hunt. Something to keep an eye on as an RB lotto ticket. There's at least some dialogue of setting Herbert free.

Look forward to this thread every week. Helps you to prioritize backup RBs with upside instead of holding that WR6, TE2, etc.

And if you hit, its a big time win.

I know that one existed, but can't find the thread when I search for "Khalil" or "Herbert".

Here's the discussion on Herbert starting around 2:55

Really no surprise, and makes complete sense that teams would be inquiring and the Bears would be listening to trade offers. I'm not sure how good of an opportunity something like this is for Akers, or would have been for Herbert. If Jones is more dinged than what's being represented, not a bad opportunity sharing the backfield with Chandler. If Jones is back in a week or two, not so great.

There's at least some dialogue of setting Herbert free.

Reminds me, we used to have a another thread about Nov Trade Deadline folks that we could spec and add in case they go to a better environment for fantasy. Like a tracker but fantasy focused.

Herbert, Miles Sanders, Mostert or Jeff Wilson to the 49ers?

Local scoops guy, Darren Wolfson, just stated that the Vikings preferred target was Khalil Herbert over Cam Akers. There was dialogue with the Bears, but unsurprisingly, Bears weren't matching the Texans price tag on Akers for a trade in-division.

That would be a bad thing for all those RBs.

Emphasis on the Miami connection when it comes to the Niners. I have prepared myself to expect the worst for CMC this season, but maybe he really is coming back in a few weeks. Guerrendo doesn't look like a rookie ready to step in for a Super Bowl run, but maybe he's not as far off as I think he is.

I know Mason has a boo boo, but is he dead? Of course it parks everyone else on the bench when CMC is back.

I think three out of four of them would need some additional speed while Mostert needs to be made more of iron than he is currently constituted of (notice I am not ripping on him for being "glass" or any garbage like that). Mostert simply might have aged too much to do what SF needs their RBs to do.

I think Mason and Guerendo might actually be their best bests given their youth, toughness, and speed. They need really aggressive ball carriers there.

Sprained AC joints can take a month and surgery if it's bad enough. Your AC joint is where the collarbone meets the shoulder, if I'm not mistaken. I have a lump there because I have an old "sprained" AC joint, which is a joint that is out of socket, really. Only it's on top of your shoulder towards your neck.

It's an impact injury, usually caused by a blow to the collarbone or shoulder. Not a good injury to have.

We don't know the extent of it do we? Hell, he could be back in lickedy split couldn't he?

Mason is at the top for sure to the extent that he's available. If they have faith in Guerrendo or CMC coming back effective, no need to add. I think there's a lot of reason for caution with both. They have a two week window to fortify the position for a Super Bowl run and the cost to add one of these guys shouldn't be outrageous.

Thanks for this info. This is huge stuff to hear. Might want to put it in the Herbert thread from now on and bump the guy relevant.

I know that one existed, but can't find the thread when I search for "Khalil" or "Herbert".

Here's the discussion on Herbert starting around 2:55

Really no surprise, and makes complete sense that teams would be inquiring and the Bears would be listening to trade offers. I'm not sure how good of an opportunity something like this is for Akers, or would have been for Herbert. If Jones is more dinged than what's being represented, not a bad opportunity sharing the backfield with Chandler. If Jones is back in a week or two, not so great.

RB Khalil Herbert, CHI

Holding
League 1 (pretty shallow league): Ray Davis

League 2 (pretty deep league): Jaylen Wright, Isaac Guerendo (I have Mason) & Tyler Goodson

• GBP:MarShawn Lloyd(51.7)IR Bonus, Return is imminent. Good top IR candidate Emmanuel Wilson(UR) looked great looks like clear handcuff to own atm

in a not dynasty league, Lloyd I think is eligible return next week, or one more week at most. does that relegate Wilson to clear third in line for touches? If so he's droppable now I guess since even if Jacobs got hurt this week it'll be Lloyd back in the mix.

I believe Wilson is the clear handcuff and that Lloyd is the drop in redraft if you must drop one.

I don't think late 3rd round rookies are given anything. Wilson has done a lot of good things with the backup role. I would like to roster him as a pre-emptive pickup, but decided against it with the thought that Lloyd might get enough work to limit the upside. MIght. I definitely favor Wilson for re-draft in the event that Jacobs goes down and think he's a pretty solid stash if you have the roster room.
