So much of the lotto strategy is reliant on subtle injury diagnoses - Irving, Stevenson, Benson, Purdy…. if the starter is coming back next week, 2 weeks it makes these calls very different.

Yep. And teams have been like the CIA hiding the info this year. "Hopeful to practice this week" and it's 5 weeks later still no practice.

I was shocked when somebody in my league dropped Irving a few weeks back. I gleefully picked him up and stashed him on IR thinking I had solved my RB depth issues. Now I'm half thinking he's just going to rot on my IR the rest of the season.

With Kincaid getting hurt, I think I am going after Knox to fill in for Warren's bye week. No one else is available in the "ok he needs to be owned" group.

Not sure if any Bills homers have any thoughts on how the Bills might use Knox while/if Kincaid is out. Is he in the TE in Buffalo to target?

 

[The Dude]

I don't see a takeover RB coming but I think some splits may be changing to provide some value

Brian Robinson.
CMC is way overused right now - 249 touches with 3.5 YPC - on pace for 400+ touches
BR possibly showing he's got more juice in his legs with 4.9 YPC
Br got a whole drive with a TD on Sunday while game was still winnable

Sean Tucker.
Bucky Irving in doubt
Earned 50/50 split last week and appears to have outperformed White
2 games ago analysts were mocking White for soft short yardage runs
May already have the short yardage role

 

[Mookie]

Is there a Jets WR worth owning besides Wilson, now that he's out 3-4 weeks? Fields has been absolutely terrible, and if he gets replaced by Tyrod, someone will have to catch his passes.

Does Mason Taylor get a big bump? Metchie and Mitchell are new to the team, but could come on as they get up to speed. They've apparently given up on Lazard, finally, as he was a healthy scratch last week. Arian Smith worth a flier? It's a wasteland, but somebody could step up and post decent numbers.

Terrible week for pickups.

This may be one of those weeks where you wait and see if the desperate make some good drops.

I'm contemplating grabbing Adonai Mitchell in my leagues where I lost Garrett Wilson. For as bad as Fields is, Wilson was having a great year before he got hurt. Mitchell is clearly not as talented as Wilson, but their #1 WR should still have decent value. And I'm assuming he knows enough of the playbook by now that he'll play a majority of the snaps. I'm also assuming he'll rise to become the #1 WR even though he's new to the team, given the dearth of talent the Jets have at wideout.

 

[Doubles]

Don’t know who I should try for first. Tucker or Burden. Will prob go Tucker then Burden.

I was going to go to the A Mitchell post first,but saw this first.

And was going to say basically same thing you did in regards to Mitchell taking over the #1 wr role. As he is the most talented wr on team with Wilson done
Just wish he had better hands and was bit better at tracking the ball.
It will be interesting to see how he is used this week.. He has some upside,maybe wr 3.
I hope Zach Wilson takes over at QB,lol. I can't believe I just said that.
He has to be more accurate and not seeing ghosts like Fields is.

Did you mean Tyrod?

 

[Insein]

Not much action in my league. Highest bid player was Jeudy for 4%.

Is frieirmuth available? Plays cincy

Sadly no. Taylor, Mayer, Barner, Musgrave and the Rams TE's are the top options.

 

[ignatiusjreilly]

This is a WDID question rather than WDIA. Need to pick up a TE for Warren's bye (thinking Loveland or Schultz). But the bigger issue is that, with Hampton and Benson clogging up my bench spots, I have to drop one of my WRs. The two guys at the end of my bench are Parker Washington and Christian Watson. Washington has been coming on more lately, but his role going forward is unclear given Thomas' injury and Meyers integration into the offense. Meanwhile, Watson would seem to have more opportunities coming his way with all the injuries to GB WRs (who could have predicted in Week 1 that we'd get to midseason and he would be the only healthy one?) But of course starting any GB WR is always going to be a game of Russian Roulette.

Leaning dropping Watson and keeping Washington, just because it's hard to imagine looking back at my season and thinking, "My biggest mistake was not having enough faith in a Packers WR.".

 

[JesusLover]

Jaxon Dart is likely out this week for concussion.

Would you pick up Jacoby Brissett vs SF or Marcus Mariota @Mia?

*Just for the week*

100% agree. I've never trusted Watson, to be honest. Washington should continue to be the "de facto" WR1 in JAC. Worst case, he's their WR2, which is still better than whatever Watson is/was in GB.

You don't want the Jameis Winston experience for one week? We know how that rollercoaster goes but if INTs are not a premium problem I'd say let it rip...

 

[Insein]

Michael Wilson is a name if you're desperate with MHJ out. Greg Dortch also. I wouldn't expect much but if you need a body, you could do worse..

I’d rather run naked through a poison ivy patch.

You're not digging the Human Dortch?

I dug the greatest actor of all time Larry Storch.

Parker Washington DNP on Wed with Hamstring. Of course I picked him up last night. Will just have to wait and see I guess.
