Just saw Evan Silva recommending Royster as a stash. Most of these guys are on the wire in 12 man leagues, so who are you guys rolling with?

I'm torn between Wilson, Royster and Turbin.

 
Wilson and Turbin... all those other guys have been around, old news. I'm talking dynasy here... guys like Richardson, Miller, Turbin, Wilson, one could be gold.

Blount. Lol at this poll. 8 for david Wilson? Isaiah pead down? He's their number three. Andre brown I'd have voted for over blunts

Forgot Andre Brown, he's not available in my league and hasn't been since very early in the season. Pead? He's not even in the equation. I don't play dynasty, but I can't even see him having much value there after being passed by Richardson

Maybe Royster at the moment, of all those listed in the poll. The 'skins are the #1 rushing team in the NFL...RGIII opens things up for his RBs. Royster has shown flashes of talent. Schedule is decent.Edited to add: Duh, and the main reason I wanted to post this is Ryan Grant is no longer in the picture, either.

I got my money on Jacquizz. He probably has the best chance of getting 50/50 carries or taking over for the Burner. I also like Goodson because DMC probably has the best history of injuries. While Bradshaw gets injured, he also plays, and Wilson has to pass 2 guys now. Royster isn't a terrible stash but I don't see it unless Morris gets injured. Royster just isn't as good as Morris and I think people forget Shanahan when he actually had a bell cow RB.

 
I would have said Best 2 weeks ago but after he wasn't cleared at the one year mark of his last concussion I think his career might be over. It is sad too because the lions offense is perfectly suited for him and they miss him A LOT!!!

Pead was lightly mocking all hose picking wilson., as they are both #3 Rb's on heir own team, and to have real value you have to win the injury lottery twice for them to have real value.

I think that ship has sailed. 2.5 ypc on the year when Turner is putting up 4.3 ypc. He is nothing more than an injury stash.I think Hillis presents the most value without an injury. Most value after an injury would probably be Goodson with Blount and Hillis behind him.

Still Wilson. His value currently doesn't matter, because Bradshaw is healthy. Behind him, I'm go with Goodson and Turbin. Goodson has looked good in limited usage and Mcfadden could have an injury at any time. Lynch is less injury prone, but Turbin could fill in as a solid RB2 instantly if he were to miss games.I'm not sure I trust any of the other options. Rodgers has had his chance to produce at points this year and hasn't taken advantage, Hillis looked terrible as well. Blount is a plodder that is barely an RB3 even when he's the bell cow.
 
Wilson and Turbin are solid plays here. I also like the earlier call on Kendall Hunter as well.

Don't forget about Bryce Brown as he has become the #2 RB for the Eagles and if LeSean McCoy was to miss any extended time then Brown could be a major producer for your team.

Tanner is the healthiest RB option in Dallas. That's got to boost him to the top at the moment. Not sure on his value once the banged-up, injury-prone Murray gets back.

Otherwise, I'd say Goodson holds the best potential value if DMC gets injured.

 
Man, I'm really surprised of the Wilson picks here. Are those choosing him in dynasty? I could see him being at the top for dynasty. For this season, a lot would have to happen for Wilson to be an asset to your fantasy team.

1) He becomes less of a liability in pass-pro (could happen, but usually takes a little time)

2) Bradshaw is out

3) Brown gets nicked up

I am really starting to like Royster. They have a hell of a rushing attack, and RG3 opens it up for whoever runs the ball. If Morris were to get a 2-3 week injury he could be very valuable this season. Likewise for Turbin

 
Lmao gore has been playing on two bad knees since college. Hasn't affected him since. Its all the other dings he gets

I had quizz stashed on a couple of teams until i couldn't take watching him play anymore.
 
The correct answer is probably whomever gets an opportunity due to injury but that takes the fun out of the discussion. A couple of other guys I am watching are Shane Vereen (although you never know who gets touches week to week) and James Starks (I think the opportunity to get carries is wide open there, I just domn't know how healthy he is).

 
Two very different answers in redraft v. dynasty/keeper.

In redraft, at this point, you're better off carrying your back-up than these guys. All of them require an injury to the starter to be a difference maker. Of that group, I like Goodson to get more work independent of the starter as well as the likeliest to get a big boost due to incumbent injury, but honestly, if you have to start any of these guys absent injury, your team is in real trouble.

In dynasty, it's Wilson and not even close. He's already valued as a top 20 back in some dynasty leagues.

Me too. Finally cut bait last week. He did nothing with his touches to show me he was worth a roster spot anymore. I would go with Turbin in this poll.
 
What more do the Giants need to do the tell us Wilson won't be relevant this season? He would need 2 guys to go down for him to get more than 5 touches, on a good week.

Royster is an RB1 with an injury to Morris - he is the top guy. Turbin is #2.

Seriously. The guy just put up a buck thirty against the #7 rush defense in the league. I think he's ok.

Of course he's OK. At the moment he's fairly healthy. But that's not what this is about. This is about who to stash in case of an injury. And of all the RB situations in the NFL, I think SF is one to watch. Gore is not young anymore and yes, he does get dinged up from time to time. And when given the chance I think Hunter will do very well. Now that's what this is about. Oh, by the way, I think the one obvious one that was just brought up is Tate. Tate is immediately a top 5-7 RB if Foster gets hurt.
 
Also on the Hunter bandwagon. 1) Gore usually misses a couple game, and 2) they've been giving him about 1/3 of the carries even with Gore healthy.

 
I'd throw a mention to people for Bernard Pierce if people are mentioning Tate...obviously better in redraft given the ages of Rice and Foster, but he seems to play well and I don't see the Ravens as a team that would radically change their philosophy if a specific player were to go down (sans Flacco). Ironically, they have the personnel to open it up through the air if they wanted to (for the first time since in franchise history), but again, just don't see it as a knee-jerk staff.

Is Hunter built to be an every-down back? I haven't watched SF games this year, just wondering if he's the type of guy who could carry the load if needed.

I think so. The potential is there. But they wouldn't ask him to do it all. They would likely move him to the Gore role, and use Davis to take Hunter's old role. 15 carries a game shouldn't be an issue for him, in my opinion.
 
Beanie wells. He will be back nov 25 and is reportedly fully waked from his toe injury already. Feature rb from weeks 12-16. Matchups aren't great but always good to be able to pick up a guaranteed feature rb off the wire and stash for week 12

 
If you're actually talking about stashing a guy you don't need to play, I can get on board with Royster. Their is a 90% chance he finishes the year useless and a 10% chance he's an RB1 at some point this season. The upside is all I care about for a stash guy.

I would probably take Tate over him, but he's in a slightly different category since he still carries a much bigger price tag than the rest.

 
Is there anybody who was particularly hot in camp and pre-season that is an injury away or say can make an impact with 10 touches per game down the stretch? We are looking for a Jamal Charles a few years ago type.

Wilson and Turbin come to mind for me. Were there any other head-turners before the season who just need a shot? What RBs are in danger of seeing the bench?

 
Assuming all the starters listed were injured (unrealistic scenario, obviously), I would rank them:

1. Royster: Every Redskin RB performs when given the opportunity

2. Goodson: Familiarity with the zone-blocking system and less focus on the run/swing pass game if DMC is out

3. Turbin: I don't know much about him, but the Seahawks will remain a ground-and-pound team with Lynch out

4. Dwyer: He's already shown what he could do when given the workload

5. Hillis: Chiefs are terrible this year and might have to abandon the run early and often

6. Vereen: Patriots have plent of options even if Ridley were to get hurt

7. Wilson: Giants still have Brown

8. Blount: Not an every down back and has looked very pedestrian this season

However, being realistic and taking injury probability (and other factors into account), I would probably rank them like this.

1. Goodson: Let's face it, DMC has not yet played a full season

2. Vereen: Even with Ridley playing, they can still provide a nice 1-2 punch. Belichick loves this guy and he was even named "starter" last week

3. Dwyer: Injury factor is already coming in to fruition here.

3. Hillis: Will likely take over Shaun Draughn's role, which provides potential for 10 touches a game once he's completely healthy

4. Royster: I still rank him high for the simple fact that every Redskins RB performs when given opportunity. Not to mention the Shanahanagan factor.

5. Wilson: Based on talent alone, he could surpass Brown on the depth chart over the course of the season. Injury factor with Bradshaw is high as well

6. Turbin: Purely an injury-only stash. Unless those back spasms keep Lynch out for an extended period, something else would need to happen here

7. Blount: Provides very little value now that he seemingly lost the goal line role. Also, in the event of a Martin injury, I don't see him making much of an impact.
