RB Joshua Kelley, LAC (2 Viewers)

We started him the last 2 games and he’s been s***. This week we’ll bench him and he’ll go off for 25. Then Ekeler comes back after the bye and the wasted FAAB money will all be for naught. We know how this is gonna play out.

This is where I am. If I sit him and he goes for 20+ points, I hate myself for letting him screw me the past 2 weeks. If I play him and he does nothing, I’m the same idiot I’ve been the last 2 weeks, I guess I can live with that.

This is so obviously going to happen
 
I cut him in 2 leagues despite this great matchup against the Raiders. I bet he scores at least twice and possibly goes for 100 yds.
 
Go to be honest here I have nothing on this one after last weeks debacle. I own him in just 1 league no clue if I am starting him. I thought Tennessee was the reason he sucked but to suck last week ? I have no answers.
 
Starting him over... Miles Sanders? I figure he didn't do anything the last two weeks so he's due.

He will score a touchdown this week!
 
Starting Gabriel Davis over Kelley. I started Kelley last 2 weeks and won despite him. He will probably do well since I benched him and Davis will dud. Happens all the time.
 
I'm playing him in 1 league out of like 20. It's a Guilltine league. My RB's are Saquon/Javonte/Kelley/Warren/Herbert/Akers We're currently at 12 teams. Not really happy or excited about it, but feels like the best option out of the given choices.

I stupidly changed my mind and started Kelley probably the difference between a win and a loss. Just one of many mistakes today.

Him over Godwin, unless Waller gets lost coming to the stadium tomorrow, cost me this week.
 
I actually started him at the RB2 spot. Could've been worse but I'm officially cutting bait this waiver cycle. Herbert had two ****ing rushing TD's for god sake.
 
17 carries 65 yards

Again, what time is the meeting later this week and who wants to bring the donuts?
Feels like Kelly has been supplying them of late

I felt like I was a glutton for punishment starting him last week, never mind rolling him out a third time. I feel for those who gave him another shot. Watching Herbert rush two in, one from like the 13 yard line would be a gut punch.
 
He didn’t set the world on fire, but I’d keep my eye on Spiller. He had an excellent block that freed up Herbert on that QB scramble for a TD, and he had a couple of receptions as well. I have a feeling he’d cut more into Kelley’s workload.
 
I held onto him for one more week, needed a flex and he wasn't the worst choice. Pittman was my flex in another league and he did worse. I won in both leagues so I can't complain.

I started him, and in spite of my best efforts of self-sabotage, managed to eek out a victory. I got to watch that game and they gave him two goal line tries and he just ran right into his guards backside. So the opportunity for a TD was there, he just didn't capitalize.

He is your definition of JAG - his speed is ok, but he doesn't have burst; his balance and running technique are solid but nothing special; has decent power but runs into crowds.

But good grief does this guy lack vision. If the hole isn't open wide for a long time he just runs into the pile and gets swallowed up.

Three weeks and I've seen enough. I'm out.

Good appraisal and on top of all that, he's an appalling pass catcher so you can't even eke out decent stats in that way if the rushing lanes aren't there. I cut him after the Vikings game, felt like a weight was lifted. Ekeler owner in my league must have seen enough as he didn't even bother to pick him up.
 
I'm really confused why the team totally neglected the RB2 position considering Ekeler is not meant to be a grinder back. Kelley is good enough with Ekeler I guess?

Spiller was cutting into his workload but man he's had some chances hasn't he?

Is this guy the easiest drop in all of fantasy? Really disappointed that he turned out to be such a turd.

The only problem is that I wish I dropped him after dumping all of my faab. Great sunk cost fallacy there but this is why playing a weekly game is so dumb. Information is too limited and we all wait forever for one data point.
 
Dropped. Feels like addition by subtraction on my team. He’s not even JAG. I’d imagine the Chargers using some draft capital on a RB next season. Spiller must be awful if he can’t eat into this guys touches.
 
I'd like to thank Josh Kelley for if he had not stunk like a turd so bad I would never have had the waiver wire position to drop his *** and pick up Achane:football:
 
Kelley produced great in game 1 when Ekeler was playing. Any chance this duo returns to a sort of one-two punch…. Or is it the Ekeler show assuming ankle health?

No, drop him unless you have Exeler or deep bench

It’s interesting to me.

I only just got in the Josh Kelley game (and may need him this weekend), so I haven’t watched much of his underperformance over the past few weeks. And I know many people that picked him up off the wire over Kyren or someone else after week 1 are probably a little jaded. And I hadn’t watched the first Miami/LA game until now. But I just watched the fast forward version and Kelley was involved early and often in that game. Looked good. Ran well. Switching in and out with Ekeler even on the first drive of the game. Not just switching off series but rotating in and out of drives successfully.

It’s a huge Hail Mary for me, but I may be liable to play him this weekend and see how he fares.

Ekeler may be eased back in. Can’t imagine they give him a giant load after coming back from injury.

And it was their gameplan that seemed to work offensively in game 1.

Both of these guys were ripping off big yardage in that game.

Dallas defense is a different story though. I may just be hoping he falls into the endzone.

He has done little in the past when given chances. Who knows, he may be better with Ekeler being the focus of the D.

We’re not sure how good the Dallas D is. All we know is they can bully bad offenses.
 
I dropped him a couple of weeks ago and nobody picked him up

I'm holding both spiller and dotson in dynasty for some reaosn
