Wow we have a similar rb situation. start 2 rbs ppr.
Dixon is available; may have to go grab him --I'm a Ravens fan, so skeptical about him and how this whole team is functioning right now. Cant get any worse than last week with 6 yards rushing.
White was dropped (very short benches... and an idiot) for Sproles this morning, I have Lewis warming up, obvious pick up for me (though 2 days waivers and probably won't get him)... I'd have to drop Snead anyway.
Don Jackson is JAG. Montgomery is still questionable and who knows if he plays. It is very possible they go into this game with Ripkowski and Jackson.
Well, the Giants beat reporter seems to believe that Perkins role will begin to increase out of the bye. Jennings flat out sucks. He can't find the open hole and just plods into the line. Darkwa? Like someone already stated, he has his chance. Perkins out snapped Darkwa 15-0 their last game. Rainey is NOT a between the tackles runner. He does have great hands, but IMHO, so does Perkins. If Perkins showed that he has improved in pass protection, I can see him being the featured back sooner than later.
Yeah, I would never play him this week. Just stashing if he goes off --and its possible --Harbaugh has to be getting heat with this offensive performance so far --and Steelers have been kind to RB's
I don't want to touch that dumpster fire... what is it now, a RBBC of 5? Perkins may emerge by week 16 but if you're still playing then you probably have a better option at RB.
I hear this refrain all the time. I get it why people feel that way but they make these decisions for a reason and they're correct. They aren't playing fantasy football and the "near retiree veteran" can also be trusted far more than the rookie to not do something stupid. Missing a blitz pickup and getting your quarterback injured is also a big play.
I think Perkins is more of someone we should all consider for next season. Especially in leagues that do weighted keepers. Perkins is someone you can keep for a very low draft pick. I am not really sure he emerges as a fantasy relevant RB this season. You're right, stranger things have happened but unless Darkwa, Jennings get hurt I'm not sure there is a whole lot there for him to emerge this season
I believe Darkwa is an afterthought. Perkins even out snapped him 15-0 against the Rams. Although, I agree with you about holding him in keeper/dynasty formats. If you have room on your roster and like the idea of a potential RB lotto ticket , then hold onto him.
Indeed. I'd just rather grab a guy where if he exploded, it wouldn't be so strange.
Yeah idk how to read this anymore. Montgomery is a play when he's healthy... but his backup? Is it Ripkowski or Jackson? Well usage last week with both healthy suggests Ripkowski is a better bet than Jackson, no?
I dropped. Foot injuries always linger and often end with a trip to IR. Add in Martin's eventual comeback and I don't see him having a ton of value ROS.
I'm not starting either of them, but if you're desperate, this is the week to start a GB RB. Indy has the worst run D this side of SF.
I kinda would love to see GB just give Ripkowski 20 carries and bludgeon the Colts... Rip is 6'1" 246lbs and is averaging 4.9 YPC.
I'm the only one on here pimping Ripkowski to some degree. He's someone to keep an eye on. Mike Alstott type player (Alstott was 6'1, 247). I think he's a beast and will have an important role in the GB offense. Fantasy relevance is only there if Montgomery doesn't go or gets significantly hurt; if Montgomery is out this week I'd advise to strongly consider starting Ripkowski if you're in a bind
Yeah, he could have Asiata-level upside. But I suspect he's more of a poor man's Kuhn. You're basically counting on him to punch one in.
Yeah I agree as to his role being a growing one and an important one for GB. I almost see him as the Montgomery complement and handcuff in a way, and the best bet of the RBs for a TD. With bye Armageddon at RB for me, I may end up running Ripkowski out there.
If he comes back unhampered from injury, I think he has mid-RB2 value with a low ceiling. They'll still run a committee situation, but I think Starks is the most talented of the 3-4 backs they're using and should end up with 40-50% of carries.
Disagree here big time, but I agree that Starks might have low to mid RB2 value if he can be "the guy"
Ugh, if those are your two options you're in a world of hurting.
Right, I knew that. Trying to remember any other RBs coming back mid-season from a meniscus cleanup. My (totally unsupported) guess is that they wait until he's back at full strength and then throw him back in with a relatively full workload, with Ty holding down the passing-back role (which is not necessarily limited to third down).
Starks should get the lion's share of the carries when he is back. He is not very good though so I would expect that ship to sail after about 2 weeks of seeing 2.0 YPC and they will get Ripkowski more involved and/or Montgomery
As a former Lacy owner, this is why I think it doesn't matter who steps in as RB.mphtrilogy said:
Gold. I did this very move with the same thoughts on Jet's D. Nobody else bid on him and he cost me zero. I feel better about him than most of the other WW fodder.
Great data that confirms the eye test that the Jets have been getting burned deep all year. I picked him up, although as of now he's on the bench for Coleman. I'm a heavy favorite, so I want a higher floor guy. But if Montgomery sits again, I'll fire him up.
Yes I am due to Miller, AJ Green, Reed, Thompson on a bye .. missing Charles, Rawls and Quizz to injuryBuzzbait said:
Love the call on Stills, but also good call on weather. Though you never know until the games start what the true weather impact will be.
New Player Note Thu, Nov 3
I was thinking the same but it's still the same Bills and he'd be taking up a roster spot for at least 4 weeks.
My mistake, still like Inman and Gates.
With Cobb out last week Janis played on 94% of the snaps and saw 4 targets. Davis played on 58% and saw 4 targets. Janis seems like the safer bet.
I should've listened to my own advice. I was planning on grabbing Gates but was outbid. Hooper would've been a nice sub because there's just no way I'm starting Doyle.
