With Ekeler now out for the rest of the FF season, is MsNichols a guy you'd rather grab in a ppr league over a low end cuff?

I would feel dirty playing him, but yes, I can see rostering him over some bum cuff. Robinson is playing I believe.

The low end cuff I am referring to is Akers to Aaron Jones. Have you changed your opinion?

I don't have any love for either McNichols or most low end handcuffs at this point in the season. If I were a non-competing team, which I'm not, I would be trying to roster higher upside guys for 2025. Hell, I still would, even as a competing team. Rostering most of these bad handcuffs in the hope of injury is a sucker's bet most of the time. In dynasty you have to always have your vision on the future, even if you're in position to win right now.
McNichols was on the Titans for years and I think the Broncos before.
He is a third down back. He is fine every time he plays. I wouldn't use a different adjective.
He had a nice game earlier and I didn't know he had that in him.
He's probably going to get a few catches as third down backs get. If he starts or subs as a starter, I don't know because I didn't think he had it in him earlier. I'd feel decent about a PPR start in this scenario because of the catches.
Suppose it was this week. He's not big enough or tough enough to deal with Sweat and Simmons and the Titans this week so there's no way Kliff calls 20 carries BUT ya gotta run some and force the D to be ready for it some so they'd probably call screens and wide runs. Not 20 so 10-12? I don't think he'll get ya but 30-40 yards. Your hope would be that he has like 7 catches for 40 yards with that.
Everything very typical of a third down back.
