Ronald Jones II, Damien Williams, or Kenyan Drake ROS in PPR? (1 Viewer)

[Lehigh98]

This is for bench depth and possible upside for the rest of the season in a PPR league.

My other RB's are Saquon Barkley, Chris Carson, Todd Gurley, David Montgomery.

Who do you think has more upside and value ROS in PPR? Ronald Jones II, Damien Williams, or Kenyan Drake?

TIA!

I'm struggling between Jones & Williams myself.

I love that Jones was officially named the starter, maybe that will provide a mental boost, he also has better matchups overall with Arizona, Atlanta and Detroit on the schedule.  And Jones is past his bye and is coming off a 20 touch game.  Damien hasn't sniffed that kind of volume since week 1.  Jones is also putting up about 0.5 YPR and more than doubling up Williams in YPR.

Williams does get more volume in the passing game, which is a bump in PPR and, despite playing one fewer game and having 23 fewer touches this season he has outscored Jones by about 10 points in my PPR.

Then there is last week where Williams saw 72% of the snaps and McCoy saw only six snaps for some reason.  Sure, virtually all of Williams yardage came on one play but, who cares? You have to be on the field to make plays and Williams was on the field.  All of us who invested heavily in Williams with early round picks have to be thinking/hoping/praying that this is part of a trend.  I am certain that kind of thinking is clouding my judgement on Williams.

Ask me right now and I say Jones.

Ask me right now and I say Williams.

Ask me right now...?

Gun to my head I say that Jones has the clearest path to success over both Williams and Drake.
