May be nothing but Barkley on the injury report today with a knee injury. Short week, Will Shipley is in play.

Desperation among the RB poor will make these two the picks of the week.

I'd add K. Miller and I. Davis to the RB list.

Great list. Good work.

Had Davis but good point on Kendre. I assumed people grabbed him last week but I see he's still 28% owned on Sleeper.
 
Oh boy, another 50/50 "who's gonna be the guy" backup RB gamble.

I'm going to let others fight for these two and instead target Mason Taylor (but only for cheap, TE is not a hard position to stream this year and I can't trust the Jets to pepper him this much again).

I'm also cutting ties with Corum, at least for now. I won't pick him back up until he can catch more than half of his targets and rush for more than 20 yards, which sounds fair to me.

I also thought Keandre would be on more than 28% of teams. He'll be well above that after waivers run, that's for sure. High floor, high involvement backs are great for desperation plays during bye week hell, and things are really barren out there besides these Chargers backs.

I'm seeing a lot of this sentiment.

Which means as soon as we drop him Kyren tears his ACL.

In which case, it's Jarquez SZN.
 
Looking for a TE
Waller, Mason Taylor and Theo Johnson are available.

To me Waller is a no brainer upside wise but can he stay healthy?

Know next to nothing about Taylor, but seems to be the 2nd option, but in a bad passing O and seems to get all his targets in end of game
garbage time.

Johnson seems to be too TD dependent.

Any thoughts from someone familiar with Mason Taylor? Or just in general?
 
check your waivers for players that have been injured and who may be back in a few weeks.

i'm not even going to write who i was able to get this morning, and i'm even more embarrassed that he was cut a whole week ago and i didn't even realize it til this morning.

The Jets gameplan so far has been run the ball barely pass when the score is close.
Then after half time they are already in negative gamescript that’s when Taylor and the passing emerges. No idea which to bank on. I just can’t make FF decisions based on that even though I know Jets are a putrid team.
 
Travis Hunter was dropped. No idea if he’s worth a pickup. 10 team .5ppr.
I get the dichotomy of him splitting snaps. But all I care about is if he’s going to be a WR2/3.
 
PPR: looking at TEs for the next few weeks

Njoku, Taylor, & T.Johnson out there.

I rank them in that order.

All three hovering around/above 80% snap counts. All three 2nd in team targets on the year (well, Johnson is a close 3rd).

I see Njoku with the highest ceiling of the three, but Fannin will eat too.

Taylor is the clear #2 on the Jets right now. Probably the safest, steadiest producer on out.

Johnson is getting the TDs now, but will he get a bump with Slayton out too?

In a similar dilemma. Goeddert, Taylor, TJohn on waivers.

In a similar boat. Last week I picked up Strange to start in place of Bowers, so assuming Bowers sits again, I will need another streaming TE. Taylor and Theo are gone, so it's between Njoku and Fannin. I'm leaning Njoku, but are we overreacting to one game? Truth is, we have no idea what Gabriel's tendencies will be going forward.

In any event, I can't make any roster moves until my IR situation gets resolved (currently have Bowers, Chuba and Pearsall all injured but not yet eligible for IR) so I just have to hope no one picks up a TE before Friday. (Actually, what I'm really hoping is that Bowers is cleared and I don't have to worry about any of this, but not sure how likely that is at this point)
