Could easily be Mason or TDP though if Mitchell is out.

I thought Peterson retired

TDP - edited above

I think Wilson is the one to own until he also gets hurt.
JohnnyU

For sure, but I wouldn’t spend much.

One would think with a rookie QB, but we never know with Shanahan.
Probably not. He only had 2 targets. Ask @BobbyLayne about his rules of thumb for TEs.

Chase those points at your peril.

Same for Boyd with Higgins banged up. Hurst could see more work too, but he’s probably rostered everywhere. Again, shallow redraft.

what happened to allen?
JohnnyU
Footballguy
I think he pulled up with a hamstring.
Chaka
Footballguy
Pulled up on a route, no contact, didn't go down but grabbed his left hammy while walking off and went straight to the locker room.

Yeah OJ Howard is a good football player. Unfortunately the thing he’s always been really good at is blocking. Not enough routes.
But def worth a hope-4-a-TD dart throw if you’re desperate eh.
I've seen him do that then come back in and catch 7 for 150.
JohnnyU
Footballguy
Well, he is getting older.

James Cook & George Pickens reminding us rookies sometimes take awhile to get involved. See if anyone panics this week & then hold ‘em for a few if you have room.
Leroy Hoard
Footballguy
I was just smart enough to draft him and dumb enough not to play him.
Utter Chaos
Footballguy
When you have Njoku (1 catch, 7 yards, 1 target) and Henry (2 catches, 20 yards, 3 targets) at TE makes me very desperate.
BobbyLayne
Footballguy
so choose a guy who runs a lot of routes
Logan Thomas had 6 targets today, he’s healthy again, Carson will keep feeding him, signed a $30M contract last year
6% owned

I like those 3. Maybe I can add another 3 RBs from what I saw today,
Herbert - Chi, (It's only a matter of time so try getting him soon)
Perine - Cin, (Mixon looked banged up, so keep an eye there)
Williams - Det, (short yardage and possible goal line back going forward)
BobbyLayne
Footballguy
got him rostered, figured he catch more passes this year
but I didn’t see this coming lol

lost in the blowout
Eno Benjamin picking up some garbage time, after James Connor reminded us he runs with cement shoes on
with 14 minutes left Greg Dortch has 7 catches for 63 (vs 1 for 5 A.J. Green)
then again it's sometimes hard to learn from blowouts bc usage / utilization changes in competitive games
Cards have a few more rough matchups coming and might be behind/in shootouts

Palmer with Keenan hurt

I grabbed up Hilliard in 4 leagues before the weekend. I did it as a lotto ticket stash, but they used him quite a bit today. Might be worth a claim.

Should. But at the of last year, Herbert really spread the ball around to Palmer, Guyton, and anyone who got open.

Kyle 9 targets Philips

I would love to see this, and it was a good sign TDP was a healthy scratch but Mitchell went down early and Mason didn't have one opportunity. Wilson is the clear backup, as long as he lasts and, at this point if/when Wilson goes down I would expect them to go after a new starting RB via trade.

And he was key late in the game, almost set up the win. They seem to like this guy.

They’ve shown the can plug in anyone back there. Why would they make a trade?
Chaka
Footballguy
Why didn't Mason see a touch? Why was TDP a DNP?
If Mitchell misses time they already have a need. If Wilson proves to be as durable as he has always been, why wouldn't they be in the market for a RB?
rockaction
Footballguy
Maybe they can trade for Sermon.
I know you're being hyperbolic, but they have a type, and that type is a fast, one-cut runner who doesn't ever hesitate or really look for cutback lanes. They need to scour some more college games for undrafted guys.
Dr. Octopus
Footballguy
There’s been a long pattern of how they’ve done things at RB in SF. They also drafted a RB this year and have a few “emergency list guys”.
After Philly cuts Sermon maybe they’ll bring him back.
I’m not going to argue with you about it - I’ll go by their history.
Chaka
Footballguy
I'm not looking to argue. I have said in multiple threads that I think Mitchell & Wilson will cobble together 13-15 starts rendering all other RBs on the roster useless. It's true, ask around.
But they only have 4 RBs, if Mitchell misses significant time and Wilson has to be the lead back for long stretch things change.
Wilson may be less durable than Mitchell.
I was simply hypothesizing that if Wilson also goes down for a stretch that leaves two rookies, one who was a healthy scratch today and the other didn't see a touch after Mitchell went down early.
Deebo will likely be the defacto lead back but that doesn't feel like a "stand pat" situation for a team that fancies itself a SB contender.

Just noticed Wentz put up 44 on my bench. I bet he went Undrafted in a lot of single QB leagues.
If ya waited on QB & aren’t satisfied, might be worth a look.

Yeah, seemed like Tannehill was dialed in to KP. But I worry that offense could rotate who's "week" it is with WRs.

Mixon did get his arm taped up at one point - later on I thought it might have been cramps. As a Bengals fan I just don't see Perine as a guy that would be a real fantasy option even if something was up with MIxon. (Though I will say for Perine it was a decent day today) - would have to be a large league for him to hit the radar. It's as likely to bump the passing game in general - as I think they'd end up throwing more as a percentage of plays. If there really was an issue with Mixon in terms of missing time it would mean Chris Evans gets into the game plan more (he didn't today at all) - he's been more of a guy Bengals fans have been keen on seeing play more. Not to throw a wet blanket on things but I'd just recommend realistic expectations on him.
