I am spooked by the news surrounding Carson's neck. Pollard is great but Zeke is clearly still the man.
I can't trust Carson after 2 DNPs. I'd go Henderson and PattersonLionOfGosforth said:

I don't think there's any comparison between a Lance first start and a Fields first start. Shanahan paid 3 first rounders for Lance - he might have preferred to let him sit and learn, but if he's out there, then he's getting the Trey Lance version of the offense, not the Jimmy G version, and certainly no the Andy Dalton version. Doesn't mean Lance will be awesome but the Fields debut is just as relevant as Joe Montana's first start as a 49er.
Kareem & CEH are a coin toss ATM. If all of these guys start this week Kareem & CEH are the top two. I give Kareem a slight edge because he is the better talent.
This is the easiest one so far. Dwill without question. Carson is hurt, golladay hasn't shown much yet, Pollard is a backup rb.
Shenault faces Ten
Well they can't both be against Denver.
Yeah I guess I was so enamored by Barkley and Toney highlights I kind of missed his stat line. I also have a feeling that NYG-DAL game is gonna be a lower scoring, grind it out slugfest than some might expect.
Davis for sure. Mooney for the other spot but it’s very close. Mooney, Waddle and then Shenault is how I’d rank the second spot. Tough choice for sure because they are all viable.Man In The Box said:
I lean Mike Davis vs the Jets ATM. He is getting consistent RB1/2 touches and I think we all reasonably believe there will be a correction in Cordarrelle's torrid TD output at some.point. It's a plus matchup at home so Davis is a reasonably safe bet.Man In The Box said:
I don't think you can rely on Samuel yet.
If Carson is out of course you roll with Collins. He should be in line for around 15 touches. The Rams are a bad matchup mostly because the Rams offense can pressure other teams out of their game plans. Still, if he starts so should Collins.
Since you don't have Dalvin or Carson, they aren't insurance for you, they're lottery picks. If you want insurance you should use Collins &/or Mattison to acquire Hubbard. Then dump the other for a kicker.
If Carson is out...Collins.
I'm not sure there is a question there but I find taking the time to write out the dilemma, as you did, helps me solidify my own thinking. It's why I like posting in this thread, it helps me understand how I value players which, according to my wdis pick tracking spreadsheet is about as effective as a coin toss.
Yeah, wasn't really intended as a question, just laying out the thought process.
If Carson is out I think you have to go with Collins, if not it gets very complicated.
ass ratio, something McDaniels mentioned this week IIRC, in a very plus matchup @ Houston which favors Harris and hurts Jakobi.
Just tough calls all around for you. I think you ride Fant>Conklin after last week.
If Collins starts, I would start him and bench Perine. Perine hasn't done anything in his career to convince me he will be anything but JAG. Even if Mixon misses time I am not convinced Perine will see anywhere near the same usage as Mixon. It is just as likely he gets 8-12 carries but mostly is tasked with picking up blitzers and being the occasional safety valve on a 50 pass night for Burrow.
I firmly believe that there will be a correction for Woods, and he has a better...everything surrounding him. But, man Cooks is getting 10 targets/game it's hard to ignore that.
If Carson is out those are three solid options.
Do you mean David Montgomery?
My opponent is starting Josh Gordon so if guaranteed to boom.
Is Carson officially out? I haven't received any updates on that.
