16 carries for 45 yards makes me feel better about Hillman not worse but that was vs Carolina He should have an easier time this week but I'm still holding Hillman

I am a Vikings fan and HC Mike Zimmer has been asked about Hillman twice in press conferences. Both times Zimmer seems kind of annoyed with the question and acts like he barely knows Hillman in on his team right now.

Another 16 for 45 and everyone will annoy him but I agree its McKinnons job to lose
Some rb is going to be good in Minn it might be McKinnon but hes not available in my leagues. If he stumbles Hillman has been OK in a lead role b4 Hes a definite maybe

It might be helpful if people state the 'because' behind the player name.
What will change in these players' situations such that they are doing something later that they are not doing now? Why will that happen? If we treat this board line traditional crowdsourcing we might actually arrive at the correct solution.

90% of the names listed so far are already rostered in most 12 team leagues with normal benches
I'm curious if there are any examples from last year of guys nobody had heard of week 3/4 and became startable by fantasy playoffs? Shark west/ware come to mind off the top of my head.

True, but I was sticking with the forum, meaning a out of nowhere possibility. That being said, a couple things still have to happen. Dion Lewis has to not come back, or come back less than healthy. If that happens though, I think Foster has a shot. He will fit better for Brady. Blount has worked well because of game script for the mix/match QB options BB has played. Foster fits well for Brady because he is a better runner between the tackles then Lewis and a more explosive pass catcher than what White is. I think this gives Brady more versatility over Blount to be able to change plays at the line of scrimmage. Same way Lewis came out early last season so strong.

That is why the reporters are asking, because the run game has been MIA all year thus far.
Just telling it like I see it. Zimmer doesn't seem interested or impressed with Hillman at all thus far.
there was just a blurb about him being spotted walking around normally in the locker room today. he's occupying my IR spot in both leagues right now

T. Williams is available in my league, I think I'm going to wait another 30 to 60 days before I cut Josh Gordon from my dynasty team

Kenneth Farrow - Will take an injury to Melvin Gordon.
Mike Gillislee - Is another one, but people know his situation. He needs an injury to McCoy.

Robbie Anderson is sliding into the starting outside WR spot for the Jets while Decker is healing up his torn rotator cuff. Jets run a 3 WR base offense and Enunwa should stay in the slot. Anderson had a big preseason. Maybe get off to a slow start vs Seahawks secondary but I'd put him on your watch list. Added hi to most of my dynasty's where he wasn't there already

Depends on what's available.
I was about to say k wright, I've been on board for a few years now but he's struggled.

Carolina is not a cakewalk. i think your takeaway is that he clearly led the team in carries, despite the bizarre designation of Asiatta as the "starter" just prior to the game.

Watkins? If he can get his foot right and come back 100% he could win championships.

Now that I dropped him, yes watkins.
Short benches but it might be a race to see who picks him up first.

I'm gonna throw Ricardo Louis in the mix since I play a 14 team dynasty with large rosters and there is slim pickings on waivers.
The epitome of "out of the clouds". Or maybe out in left field, but there is no guarantee that Coleman is ready in 3-6 weeks as anticipated. Pryor will draw top corner. Someone has to be the beneficiary and I don't see it being Hawkins. Just a dart throw but you could do worse.

Yes. He could come back week 11. If your league has an IR spot he's a potential stud when/if healthy
Hot Sauce Guy

I dropped him, but set a reminder to check his status later in the year. Def could be a game changer, and I cannot image any format other than dynasty where he's a hold for 8 weeks after just being a doorstop for the 1st 4.
RenegadeRoy
Footballguy
Worthless? If he's only taking up an IR slot I don't see how he's worthless. IIRC he hasn't played a single snap with the new OC which seemed to be trending in a more simple offense.
Hawkeye21

I'd rather grab another injured player and put on IR than Watkins right now. I think he's good but just on a bad team.
NYRAGE

Who? Genuinely curious, not trying to call you out.
He's always played for the bad news Bills and it's never mattered. Bills also looked significantly better last week than they had weeks 1-2.

DJ Foster was active in week 2. He caught the first pass of the game (for like 2 yards). Then he had a run for 6-7 yards. I thought he was going to go off in that game, but didn't have another touch again. Not sure why.
Other potential guys: Collins (SEA) and Williams (Buf) if injuries
Anarchy99

Technically, he couldn't play until Week 12. I personally am not in any leagues with IR spots and am only in leagues with limited roster spots.
Hawkeye21
Footballguy
Corey Coleman, Dion Lewis, Arian Foster, Jeremy Langford and Thomas Rawls come to mind. I realize that they may not all be available but Rawls, Coleman and Langford are all available in mine. I know I'd much rather have Coleman than Watkins this year.

The life insurance business is full of guys who looked very good in week 4 of the preseason.

I'm pretty sure Robby Anderson is this years stefon diggs.
another name no one has mentioned - Walt Powell from the Bills.

All of those guys are rostered in all of my leagues, BUT I would certainly holster them if they were available.

- The guy is a hair faster than Edeleman with basically the same burst and agility but 3 inches taller and 20lbs heavier. Did you also know he did 28 reps on the bench press? He can play outside and inside.
- Showed rapport with Brady in the preseason.
- Edeleman and Amendola both notoriously can't stay healthy.
- Pats routinely average 29-30 ppg every season and had a stretch of 3 seasons where they averaged 34 ppg back when they had lots of weapons like they appear to have now.
- 5th on the team in snap % behind only 3 offensive lineman and Bennett.

Arent we due for D. Murray to pull up lame in one of these games any day now? When he does , watchout for Derrick Henry.

I like Anderson, watched both the whole preseason, but Marshall was already ahead of him and just looks like a future star. Anderson will get his opportunity now though.

Perhaps but odds are stacked against him right now. Turf toe. Not something you want. Particularly him that relies on getting out of breaks quickly. He's looking at a multi-week absence. He's unquestionably their best slot receiver IMO when healthy but he hasn't stood out enough (nor has enough track record) to be guaranteed the role when he returns.
Really just depends on roster size whether to stash or not. I think it'd take an Antonio injury to make him relevant at this point with the injury. He's a guy that needs the reps.

He's already getting his shot now, but Hunter Henry. Talent + Opportunity + lack of WR weapon talent + System. I think his price is still low because Gates expected return. We've seen the cliff comes quick with these old vets. Gates did not look good Weeks 1-2. I don't think it's a foregone conclusion Gates plays heavy compliment of snaps when he returns. Perhaps use as a short yardage/goalline option. I think Henry's got a shot to put a stamp on a huge role ROS this week.
Wouldn't be a surprise to me if Henry outscored Gates this season.
