Where you at @Hartliner!? I love this thread. It's why I currently have Allen, Allgeier and Ray Davis on the same team lol.

I have Allgeier, Benson and Warren backing up my starters.
Contemplating a last minute WTH add before 1pm.
Who do you like between:
- Corum
- Mason
- Wright

Corum is probably the top one injury away handcuff in fantasy, so I like him out of the three. SF has Oline issues, Mason is banged up, and Wright would inherit a timeshare if Achane went down. Corum would probably have a 60/40 share with Rivers (at worst), but probably more like 80/20.

Flip a coin but, ATM, I think Corum is the guy I'd want.

thanks @Chaka & @Pietaster2 - appreciate you confirming, always get to get another perspective

I'd definitely rather have him over Gus Edwards now. Upside through the roof.
joey
Footballguy
I’m grabbing whichever one or both are available across my leagues. Only have both Edwards and Vidal rostered in 1 league where I need RB2 help. It’s freakin dart throw time.
Chaka

Define "through the roof", please.

If Vidal shows out and runs away with the job today, you're getting someone stepping into the JK Dobbins role for free off the WW, all the way out here in week 13, just before the fantasy playoffs. The staff likes Gus, sure, but he can't catch and we know his limited athleticism will come with a ceiling. The rookie might have juice that prevents the Chargers from holding him back.

Vidal had an awesome first NFL touch (38 yards reception TD) & did nothing in 20+ opportunities since
I liked his college tape but not sure anyone can be the Chargers bell cow RoS, it’s almost surely the healthiest 2-3 jags they canconnie cobble together

Picked up Corum before kickoff (thanks @Chaka and @Pietaster2 )
Then a few hours later I dropped Disley (1 target goose egg on my bench) for Jordan Mason - wasn't gonna use the LAC TE again this year, might as well grab one more free lotto ticket
I take no joy in this....

Brooks got dropped today
he got 15 snaps Week 13 (2nd game)
his utilization was 60% - 6 ATT & 3 REC
good playoff schedule
why would someone draft him in the 9th round, hold all year, and dump him now?
for Noah Gray....IDK man, chasing touchdowns when you have an ascending rookie who was the consensus #1 back in his class?

I think drafting rookies in a redraft league isn’t a winning formula most of the time.

I’ve seen a lot of Brooks drops after the Chuba extension - probably based on the belief that there is no need to rush Brooks back. If week 13 is any indication, Brooks may indeed get more run down the stretch, but have to bank on a Chuba injury. Guess it depends on who you’re dropping for - agree that Gray is probably not worth it.

Aren't you the guy that lets us know every week you only play Dynasty?
Last year my Championship team had Jahmyr Gibbs, Sam Laporta and Jayden Reed - drafted two of those guys, traded Addison for Gibbs straight up after Week 6. Up to that point Jah had 38.9 points in PPR and had just missed two games, Addison had 73.7 points and WENT OFF for 33.1 on SNF vs 49ers & followed that up with 21.4 at GB. Everyone told me I overpaid lol.
This year I got Brock Bowers in the 9th round, TE10 off the board.
Drafting rookies has always been a core foundational piece of my redraft strategy for WR/RB/TE.
YMMV - if you play redraft.

Anyway, back to Lotto backs
Have rookies Benson and Corum who I'll leave on the playoff roster. Have a good Top 3, it's just break glass in emergency - won't ever be worth anything unless the starter goes down.

Doesn’t it fail more than it works most years? I used to play some yahoo redraft leagues years ago and if memory serves it was a losing strategy more times than not. Maybe that has changed, but maybe you’ve gotten lucky with a few rookies.
BobbyLayne
Footballguy
Yeah, and third year breakout for WRs used to be a thing, too
Generally rookie TEs are never productive. Last two years has people rethinking that one.
Rookie WRs come out pro ready these days. Yeah, they are inconsistent boom/bust sometimes, but it ain't like the old days
Rookie RBs, the elite ones who are drafted as starters, has always been a sound redraft strategy
Daniels has been an awesome rookie QB, I passed on him even though he was consensus Top 6-8
Last year I don't think anyone was drafting Stroud very early but he was a great WW add
Generally speaking, I'm not a fan of rookie QBs, but running QBs are still a cheat code, even as rookies
JohnnyU
Footballguy
Yeah I’m sure it’s different than it used to be with rookies. As long as you sprinkle them in sparingly. Still seems risky to me to roster too many of them in redraft.
Any LAC RBs worth holding? I didn't watch last week's game but it didn't look like they possessed the ball much, so not many snaps to analyze. Haskins fumbled his one carry so that helps Gus and Vidal, but seems hard to trust that there's enough pie for anyone in that offense outside of Ladd (who's hurt). They don't have a plus rushing matchup either until week 17, when JK could be back.

I have a no rookie policy in redraft.

Kendre Miller is about to be activated off of IR (potentially this week) with no more Dennis Allen to hold a grudge, Kamara getting insane volume at a ripened age, and everyone else on the team injured. Decent wth stash.

Breece Hall was DNP today. Might give a boost to Braelon Allen

I’ve been all over fcfs adds on Abanikanda. Lukewarm on guerendo (fast when you give him a big hole but the vision is bad and moves are ehh), Patrick Taylor didn’t look to be any good, backs there get injured constantly
I've been holding Corum as well and I'm not letting him go.
He looks great and his touches keep increasing. Kyren goes down and he'll step right in.
I like Vidal and wanted to hold him, but dropped him for Sincere. Think he has an immediate path to be the starting RB unless A. Pierce is talking out his *ss.

Not exciting, but is there any reason to add Zack Moss as a 2025/ dynasty handcuff? Obviously, Chase Brown is the guy. But if they still like Moss enough to hold down the #2 without adding significant competition, I could probably talk myself into it.
Better use of a roster spot than Khalil Herbert as a free agent?

I don't have a lot of rookies on my team
I remember you discussing your pivot to the youth movement in the off season or leading up to Redraft time
Tracy and Coleman mostly, had to keep Coleman in my 3-man keeper leagues, i drafted him 1 spot ahead of Brock Bowers
I just didn't pick the right WR/TE there. Tracy was a WW find and has been a solid addition most of the season
No Top 10 RB, Malik Nabers is No 11 in some of my leagues at WR and then Bowers a rookie TE is the best in the NFL this year

D’Andre Swift - Questionable
It’s Travis Homer time?

Good to know, I didn't know Swift was dinged. Homer isn't much, but he can at least catch a few passes.
I'm without Hall (most likely) this week, and heck if he's really that dinged and the Jets are going nowhere, I don't see them bringing him back. So... that said, what's the better lotto ticket for rest of season: Corum or Abanikanda?
