Need an RB for Week 11 (not this week) WHIR (1 Viewer)

Need an RB for Week 11 (not this week) WHIR

PPR League, need an RB for Week 11 when Melvin Gordon is on Bye.  I am planning to drop Derrick Henry due to his calf injury.

My current RB roster (with their week 11 opponent) is
David Johnson - at Minnesota
Melvin Gordon - BYE
Christine Michael - home vs. Philadelphia - on Monday night Prosise out-snapped Michael 55% to 38%
Derrick Henry - at Indianapolis
Dion Lewis - at San Francisco - currently on PUP

Here are guys I could pick up
Tevin Coleman - BYE - I think he's best choice ROS but doesn't help me in week 11
James White - at San Francisco (should be a Blount game unfortunately)
Thomas Rawls - home vs. Philadelphia - latest word on Rawls he is back in Week 11, but he keeps getting pushed back
CJ Prosise - home vs. Philadelphia - on Monday night Prosise out-snapped Michael 55% to 38%
Rob Kelley - home vs. Green Bay
Chris Thompson - home vs. Green Bay
Kapri Bibbs - BYE
Paul Perkins - home vs. Chicago
Ryan Mathews - at Seattle
Chris Ivory - at Detroit

Lewis is currently in my IR spot, if he is not activated this week, he has to be activated for Week 11, or else be placed on IR.

Luckily, my opponent in week 11 is the second-lowest scoring team in the league, and Lineup Dominator currently projects me to win by 15 points (based on week 9 projections).  His top player is Devonta Freeman who also happens to be on bye, so if you really think Tevin Coleman is way better than any other option ROS, then it might be worth taking the risk (and slotting in Dion Lewis off the PUP list).

Thanks for your help...

Even though you are predicted to win, I'd be hesitant to grab Coleman when he's on bye. I think I'd lean White or a Washington RB. Even though it could be a Blount show vs SF, White will be good insurance for Lewis, and will get touches even if Blount is the bell cow. I like Kelley's red zone ceiling, so I'd go with him slightly over Thompson. 

So I'd go White, Kelley, Thompson. I wouldn't talk you out of Coleman since his ROS is good, but I like immediate points over projections. 

Good luck!

 
I'm planning ahead myself as a Gordon owner. Looking at White or Starks. I could always roll out Yeldon if I had to since he's been on my bench all season, but I'm preferring a Hail Mary.

 
Yeah, Starks at Washington in Week 11 would be attractive - but will he play?  I'd rather pick up a healthy guy at this time, and could always switch to Starks if he is active this week (I think very unlikely at this point) or some time next week if the word on the street is good for him.  But even when healthy this year Starks wasn't a world beater.
