Totally fine with Edmonds as a desperation start for owners dealing with injuries and byes. I was presenting some reality based upon objective data, but call it an internet argument if you like. Even your comment, saying he’s averaging flex value over the past four weeks, just feels like pumping up some false narrative about his value considering the first two of those four weeks he scored 3.7 and 3.5 points. There’s simply a ton of hyperbole for a player that’s had two solid weeks, each of which was anchored primarily by scoring a TD in each game. If someone feels they can bank on a backup RB having a “floor” of 10 ppr points based upon the last two weeks where he’s receiving an average 6.5 carries, 2.5 catches, and scoring a TD on 23.5 snaps per game, then by all means plug him into your lineup. I think it’s crazy town. Unless DJ gets hurt, that seems likely to be about the max workload he’s going to receive. Again, unless DJ gets hurt...which is a distinct possibility. But until that happens, Edmonds floor is closer to 3 points than it is to 10.
I have one share of DJ and three of Edmonds, for full disclosure. I’d love for DJ to sit out a few games, but until he does Edmonds won’t see a single lineup for me unless I am indeed desperate.
