Coates, Kerley, and Hogan if they are still on the wire.
Perhaps James White in PPR.
Hunter Henry looks like an every week start.
Powell and Fozzy as essential backups/cuffs that may see more action this week/next.

I'll probably be dropping Dixon for Booker, just to cover my own ### (for reference, I've got Bell/Deangelo, CJA, Hyde, and Melvin Gordon as my other running backs).
I'm just not sure holding that fifth RB as a lottery ticket is worth completely losing the Denver backfield, so I just may hold both CJA and Booker hoping this mess gets sorted out over the next month, and start Hyde or M. Gordon as my RB2 based on match-ups for now.
Probably should have picked him up a few weeks ago, but it's a short bench league and holding two handcuffs seemed excessive.

Hoyer. Guy is throwing for 300+ every week without even feeding Alshon. Can't see a switch back to Cutler.

Agree completely.
Hoyer's had three straight games of 300+ yards passing (almost 400 yesterday) and multiple TD passes. Alshon flipped out on the sidelines after Hoyer didn't see him running a nine-route wide open. Bet on Jeffery getting his next week.

Packers Defense is pretty darn good.vs Jaguars and then Packers in next two weeks

I agree. But the position he plays in Chip's offense is setup to produce no matter the QB. As someone who had Ellington everywhere(before reception perception), it pains me to see him producing like this :(
Hunter Henry- He isn't going anywhere in an offense looking for receiving weapons
Booker- I doubt he's a start unless CJA gets hurt, but he's a nice upside cuff
Meredith- the obv one
Starks- If Lacy is out, he's a decent ppr flex RB2/3

What FAAB for Booker do you all think? Short bench league, think I might go for him and hold for a few weeks to see how that backfield plays out...

Bobby Rainey. Going to get some passes at least.

Been without their star corner all season practically
I'm not saying they are great but they aren't terrible
The original quote was salivating over JAX and GB both... Jacksonville is 7th best in passing YPG... their D is very solid. You can make a case against GB but not Jacksonville
Buck Bradcanon
Footballguy
Since Booker has been mentioned here I will paste this from another thread. I think he is a spot RB3/flex start now and we know the upside in this offense if CJA misses time.
Captain Hook
Footballguy
I guess we all look at different things
Jaguars have give up 23, 38, 19, and 27 points so far this season.
There are a lot of teams I wouldn't want Hoyer playing against - Jacksonville isn't one of them

The OP was advocating picking up Hoyer, and then you suggest Jacksonville as a great matchup. Yeah that Jacksonville defense gives up a lot of points, but that isn't due to having a porous passing defense. So unless your QBs get points for total points scored, Jacksonville is a matchup you may want to actually avoid if you're streaming
Furthermore, those 23, 28, 27 points were to GB (12th in scoring), SD (2nd in scoring), and Indianapolis (7th in scoring). Three teams with some pretty decent offenses. Chicago is not on par with those teams (30th in scoring)

I think Starks falls into the 17 for 33 type stuff at this point as well.
Thats actually 1.9 ypc while Starks is at 1.8 for the season. (24 for 42)

How would you guys rank Hogan, Kerley, Meredith in full PPR?
- Kerley - QB change coming but no one else has emerged as a reliable chain mover. If the new QB gets Smith involved, he'll be running the same 9 route that has defined his route tree since he came into the league. Macdonald due back this week but I think the impact is minimal.
- Meredith - seems like he'll be the #2 RoS.
- Hogan - good boom/bust bye week filler, he'll catch deep balls but he's pretty far down the pecking order on that offense.
Leroy Hoard

Gates.

Opposite order for me.
Pats going to be going up and down the field. No team can dictate any coverage towards him. His 4-112 was almost 6-180 TD...
Other two are ok-- meredith > Kerley for redzone upside alone. Kerley boom or bust in that brutal offense- plus Kap stinks.

Hunter looks so smooth out there. Its almost effortlless it seems for him to get open. But hes such a good blocker too.
Leroy Hoard
Footballguy
I have Hunter in a best ball league. Figure at least one will get a td every week.

Chasing points here.
He was 5th in targets that game. No one 5th in targets is startable on a weekly basis or even anyone I'd consider a bye week fill in. For me at least. Sure if you have a deep league he's a great boom/bust choice. Especially if someone above him goes down.
IMHO I'd take Meredith ahead of the other two. Hoyer is better than Cutler and can actually move the ball. And is there every a time Jeffery is healthy? I can't remember when. In PPR I think you to take a good look at Meredith and consider him as a potential WW pick up. He lead Chicago in targets

In a season with so many injuries to running backs......I look for a back up, on a running team, with little to no competition if the starter goes down....and a back up who has some real ability.
As I scan the league....I see one player who fits that bill....or should I say BILLS....and that's Mike Gillislee!
I never want to see a player get injured...but with the Bills pounding the rock so often...I could see McCoy getting dinged here soon enough.

Have been trying to get him as the Shady owner. I do think Jon Williams would surface a little bit, but I fully agree that Gillislee would be the guy.
Note they host Cle and Mia in week 15 and 16 to boot.
TartanLion
Footballguy
Yep, as a Shady owner I'll be going for Gillislee this week. Might as well completely lock up one backfield with good production.
thehoch
Footballguy
He was scheduled to sign last week...and then the meeting was cancelled. I was wondering if that was because they are no longer interested in Karlos...no? Karlos seems to have some issues....with so many running backs injured, and him not being brought in, something is up. I wouldn't pass on Gill....because they "might" re-sign a player they cut...and then cancelled a meeting on recently. Non-sense in my book.....but you are allowed to your own opinion. And...I am just throwing his name out. I spent last week scanning the landscape of back-up running backs....watching tape.....He stood out to me.

But you will pick up someone because the starter "might" get hurt? The Bills had some type of interest based on setting up a meeting, that interest would grow exponentially if shady went down imo. To each their own but I prefer to keep players who have value without an injury on my bench.

Very close to doing this before I read about Dion Lewis. What is the situation with Lewis? If he comes back in week 7 he essentially takes James White current role right?
need2know
Footballguy
Supposedly. White has looked good though. And lewis hasn't even started practicing yet
chad in Indy
Footballguy
Lewis is not allowed to practice until taken off the PUP list. Which can't be done until after after week 6 games
Widbil83

Probably at least 30% to make sure you land him. I'm still kicking myself for losing out on Howard in a league in faab when he flashed the week before Lankford went down. I assume Booker will get a ton of work (like Howard) if something did happen to Anderson or possibly sooner if he puts up a couple more stinkers.

Taking a capable backup on a team that loves to run the football makes a hell of a lot more sense than worrying who might get signed off the street.

I guess you missed the second half of my post. I'm done responding though don't want to muck up the thread.
chad in Indy
Footballguy
Yeah, I'm in similar boat with a weak RB corps and cornucopia of handcuffs, hopefuls etc. Lacey, Ware, D. Henry, Dixon, Powell, waiting for someone to break thru --Booker would be another -

Roto's take on Week 6 Waivers
RUNNING BACKS
1. Devontae Booker, Broncos – Owned in 9 percent of Yahoo leagues
No one below Booker on this list is a must-start this week including James Starks, who is not very good and looks like at best a one-week rental. That makes it much easier to take the home-run swing. Booker has not worked his way into a complete timeshare with C.J. Anderson, but his snap percentage has risen every week and he saw plenty of work when the game was still in doubt in the first half against the Falcons. The Broncos have not shown much loyalty to Anderson in the past, and while a big, new contract could change how they treat the “lead back,” the fact he is already losing snaps to Booker is a red flag. Booker might not hit for a couple weeks – if he ever does – but he is a high-upside stash. The Broncos have the easiest remaining schedule against the run in the NFL.
Recommendation: Should be owned in 10-team leagues

I'll admit my league is conservative in FAAB bidding. I'm bidding 20%. Maybe he goes upwards of 30% depending on the league?

Gonna depend on league size and format. In decent-sized standard scoring leagues where I'm light at WR I'd have no problem bidding 50-75% of my remaining money (if you have more than half your FAAB still in your kitty at this stage, u r doin it rong).LaFours said:
In small / short-bench PPR leagues I'm not going crazy for Coates, who at his core is going to be primarily a deep ball and red-zone threat. I'd go maybe 20-25% of my remaining $ but I'd probably rather grab and stash a guy like Corey Coleman in those formats.
