Between Murray, Freeman, and Williams, who has the best yards per carry?
Yep, Foreman is the easy pick. Jags run D is pretty decent, and Wilson is uninspiring at best. Even if Mitchell is out I rank Foreman higher for sure.
Thanks. I realized I was falling for the sunk-cost fallacy, where I didn't want to drop a guy I had just burned a waiver priority on. But I would have used a claim regardless, and the goal should be to end up with the best RB available.
All you've said was he's been healthy-scratched and Harbaugh has determined he isn't doing his job well.
Why is that important when we are discussing the simple fact that his head coach has determined that he is third in the pecking order?
I want Harbaugh to stand at a podium and tell me exactly why Ty'Son is 3rd in the pecking order. Don't beat around the bush. Use his name. Say something like, "Ty'son is 3rd because ....". He owes me that much as a fantasy footballer, doesn't he?
I believe he prefers more established names, even if they are over the hill. I simply don't believe he trusts Williams.
I think we'll be seeing Tyson as we get into the playoffs. Fresh (relatively) proven legs. He'll use the old guys to get them there and then...
Does that really seem likely?
His logic doesn't make sense but if you have the spot I think Tyson is worth a one week rental to see if he gets some work this week with Bell cut. Freeman and Murray are bad. A Ravens beat writer who usually doesn't tweet his opinions said Ravens rbs look slow and they need to give Williams some run. I had a spot with ab ruled out so I grabbed Tyson for this week to see what happens. I was never a Williams truther early. Ravens do seem to have a rb break out late in the season.
Yeah...in a week I need WR options in one league with Tyreek on a bye. Patterson iffy. And I just cannot rely on Brandin Cooks. Every time I try to rely on him...he stinks even in a great matchup.Let's go live to me looking at this week's WW options ...
I don't think you are going to find much on the wire that will be better than Cooks. He had a season low in targets mostly because the Titans kept turning the ball over giving the Texans a short field. Even with it three targets he still averages 8.7 targets/game, 5.9 catches & 66 yards.
In a similar boat with Tyreek. My only bench options are Golladay, Freiermuth and Wilson (if Mitchell sits again). Best flex option on the WW is ... Freeman? Agholor? Knox? Nothing I'm getting excited over, and certainly nothing I'm burning a waiver priority on.
Oh, I agree. That is what I am saying...the wire is pretty bare at the moment. Ive trusted Cooks too long and missed out on other WR options the past several weeks because I thought I had something a little more in Cooks and gave him the benefit of the doubt with all the targets. But even with the targets...he has been pretty meh for most of the year.
Didn't Coleman get most of the carries after Carter went out? Not that I'd necessarily recommend picking him up. But if it's a bad offense AND an ambiguous backfield, that strongly suggests stay-away, IMO.

Guess I could pick up Breida.
Considering you were also considering a second kicker, I wouldn't spend it all on Breida. Bid a buck and if you get it fine, if not see what shakes out next week.
All I see is a three-headed monster. Maybe I'm missing something. I don't even know who's going to be in any given drive, much less any given game. I hope it works out for you, but it's a hard pass for me.kyoun1e said:
I am not certain Buffalo has an offense a RB can 'emerge' from. Singletary has averaged 5+ yards per carry all year and can't separate himself from Zack Moss.

My waiver wire has been picked clean of most RBs. I have the choice of DeeJay, R.Jones, and Rex Burkhead. Not sure who should be top of the list for rest of season non ppr.zamboni said:
None of them are exciting options for sure.
Might be worth a speculative add, but I don't see a lot of upside. They may want to limit Patterson's carries and use him more in the passing game, opening up some early down work for Ollison. But how many carries - and whether he would get any goal line work - is a bit question mark.
I would rather use the roster spot for a backup RB with more upside in the event the starter goes down.
