Am I crazy to consider starting McCoy and Gillislee? (1 Viewer)

[Joe6]

My RBs are McCoy, Doug Martin, Devontae Booker, and Gillislee.  Can start 2 in a standard league.  Available FA are Yeldon, D. Washington, McKinnon, Sims, Forsett.  I was top seed so I missed out on Powell and Farrow on waivers.  The thought of starting both McCoy and Gillislee against the woeful Browns in the semis has entered my mind.  Other options are roll with McCoy and Martin, drop Booker and pick up a FA and play him.  Can only roster 4 backs.  Roster is Palmer (over Brady) Antonio Brown, Crowder, Ty Williams,  and Rudolph.  Other options at WR are Watkins (all in on the Browns D) and Michael Thomas (NO offense has fallen off and he'll see a lot of Peterson). Thanks for your thoughts.

Taking your entire roster into account, I'd go Brady over Palmer, I know the matchup is worse, but Palmer has been mediocre all year, while Brady has been the best player in the NFL since week 5. I'd also go with Watkins over Crowder. Watkins is getting better and healthier every week, while Crowder is seemingly losing targets to a now healthy D-Jax. 

As for your RB question: I can't get behind Gillislee at all. He's poached a couple TDs in games, but as recently as last week he saw basically no work at all. I hate starting someone hoping a game will be a blowout, and maybe they'll get some big plays late. I'd start every RB you mentioned over Gillislee. I think the best option is to roll with Doug Martin.
