I honestly thought you were insane when you posted this but then I did the research and saw where there is basically nobody else that is remotely healthy in that backfield. Add in the short week and I think you at least get a starter for the short term and he should get a decent amount of carries. I am absolutely bare bones now at RB and will keep an eye on this.shadyridr said:
Harry Douglas has received a ton of snaps and targets this year and has done next to nothing with them. He makes Davante Adams look efficient.
Agree. Both have low floors, but DGB has a slightly better ceiling in week 10, imo.
My thought as well. He may be taken before I get to him. If so, how would guys rank these guys?
Yes. Amendolais worth a 1 waiver wire claim.dipandglide said:
Well he's had two monster games, which in our format accounted for 48 points. He's had 46 in the other seven. If you're looking for boom/bust, go for it.wormburner said:
We're in the same boat. My post on the first page listed Rod Smith, Glenn Winston, Trey Williams, Spencer Ware, etc. I may throw Jonathan Grimes into consideration as well. Blue just looks awful, and Grimes is already getting all the passing game work. They just didn't trail at all last night, but at some point you have to wonder if Grimes starts getting more work... even at his current workload, he's mostly helpful in PPR with the receptions and 3rd down draws and the like.The RB free agency cupboard is bare as. My RB corps is so depleted I am debating between Kyle Juszczyk and Jamize Olawale (or perhaps both). Heck, I can't even pronounce their names, but they may be my Week 11 PPR starters.
This is the exact position I'm in. About 90% of the players mentioned in this thread are owned in my league (other than the QBs).
Blue is indeed awful. Very poor vision, slow feet, runs with a lot less power than his frame would suggest. I've paid attention to Grimes ever since he was on the Jets (It's Grime Time!) and at this point I'm really confused as to why he hasn't gotten more work in Foster's absence. He's actually quite athletic and can actually pick up yards after contact. Out of all the aforementioned RBs, I think he stands to gain the most even if there isn't an injury to the "starter".We're in the same boat.

It's his fourth stint with the Texans. While Foster has obviously been the guy for some time, clearly neither the former or current staff thinks that Grimes is good.Blue is indeed awful.

I've been doing the same and I'm worried as well. But with the news that Peyton has been injured and that Osweiller has been named the starter, I think we're looking at more FG attempts on an offense that will likely stall at midfield often.wormburner said:
Do you like DGB, Moncreif or Crowder more as a pickup this week? DGB is so raw I feel like value he has is more in dynasty... I've been on and off his train a few times this yearDGB and Crowder are names thrown around here for the picked over WW crowd and in my league there's Moncrief...

Given that Yeldon now appears to be on track to play, you don't need to worry about who he is. In fact, it's probably better for you if you don't know.
Latimer definitely had rapport with Osweiler in the preseason - but I wouldn't read too much into his 6 targets this past week. That was essentially junk time and I suspect the coaching staff was just getting him reps. Wasn't Emmanuel Sanders also a bit banged up?
http://www.denverpost.com/broncos/ci_29122121/emmanuel-sanders-limited-against-chiefs-suffered-hard-hitsBroncos receiver Emmanuel Sanders did enough to convince trainers he could play, but maybe he shouldn't have. Sanders was visibly hobbled and limited by his ankle injury for much of the game against the Chiefs on Sunday. He was targeted four times, including on Peyton Manning's second interception, and had no catches. On his last target, Sanders was hit hard by two Chiefs' defenders before being removed from the game with a concussion.
Speaking of handcuffs, I am seriously considering starting Rawls as they play 49ers at home and he may get more carries than usual. Risky proposition though. My only other choices are pick up Draughn or start White.
And the Patriots will run an entire game of wildcat offense to maximize the value of this stellar player. Book now...
yeldon didn't practice today
Maybe, or maybe in the next 24 hours they add someone off the street. No telling with Jerry and son what they'll ever do. As of now Rod Smith is the #2 though.
