Who are the best buy low RB's for the rest of the season? (1 Viewer)

Ryan Mathews - I'm an owner and personally believe he'll be top 10 from here on out, i may be naive though

Reggie Bush - Had a quiet day at the office but has a very easy schedule ahead

Matt Forte - Hasn't done much but should be healthy and has some good matchups

who are your guys buy low RB's?

 
Donald Brown. I can see the guy with steady low end #2 RB numbers for the rest of the year. The fantasy community loves to hate on him, but you aren't going to find a whole lot of guys who are going to get 15 touches a week. Most people seem to think hes a RB3/4 or weak flex. Grab him on the cheap, plug him in as your RB#2 and improve other aspects of your roster.

 
I agree with Max on Brown, but I also like (for almost free in most leagues) Bilal Powell and in dynasty or keeper leagues Daryl Richardson.

I think Bilal takes over as the starter in NY soon and I think Richardson is a great fit for what Fischer is building in St. Louis.

Immediate returns, go with Max above. Building momentum this year is Powell. Dynasty or keeper, Richardson is your guy.

I'd like to believe this, but even as a Brown owner, I see a middling RB who will give you the occasional solid game.What's missing is his (so far) non-existent use in the passing game. Only until the receving yardage picks up he will become more valuable.

I don't own Bilal in any dynasty/keeper leagues. But I don't seen any Powell owner giving him up for cheap. He's not the most talented backup RB, but I think most of his owners think he has the best chance to see significant playing time sooner rather than later. In one league, the Powell owner cut ties with David Wilson for immediate, cheap receiver help rather than shop Powell... If anyone's poaching Powell, I'd like to see what they've been giving up.
 
Martin and LeShoure stand out to me as good buys for this week. They've both shown some stuff, had unimpressive performances in week 4, and are now on bye, which may drop their price from needy owners; I tried to acquire both this week, and was eventually able to get LeShoure for just Matt Schaub. I like either as a mid level RB2 or excellent flex most of the rest of the year. I also like Pierre Thomas, who has moved ahead of Ingram in touches and always has potential for big weeks in that offense.

Those numbers in the passing game have to come up. Luck has only completed 4 passes to RBs this season. That just strikes me as a trend that will not continue.
 
I can see Martin. I think that situation has been over reacted to.

Why are so many people saying DMAC? It kind of has a "Chris Johnson from last season" feel to it to me. What exactly is going to change? The Raiders aren't changing their system and DMAC is not doing well in that system. I'd love to have an answer because I would like to see him improve but from watching these games so far, it just seems like teams are more than content to string him out laterally, over and over again.

Agreed - may happen as soon as this weekend against an aggressive Packers' front. And the Colts will probably be playing from behind most of the game.

Probably because people can't conceive the Raiders not changing their system. It's so ineffective and such a misalignment of personnel that they have to make some adjustments if Allen doesn't want to be another 1 or 2 season Raider coach. As a DMC owner, I think he's just a hold because of the risk involved in the Raiders actually being as dumb as they seem.
 
Willis

undervalued and unappreciated

re: Matthews - I doubt he's cheap, though I would love to own him. But the guy who drafted him in the third or fourth has gotten nothing on his investment and probably views it as a hold.

 
Let's say you want to make a play for McFadden. I know the DMac owner in my league and he keeps saying he's not worried, he'll come around, but let's say the owner in your league is ready for a divorce.

Most people don't understand the concept of a sunk cost. What do you think it would take to pry a RB1 who went 1.06-1.09 six weeks ago (presumes redraft)?

Just bought low on D Murray last night. Didn't take all that much.

Still a bad o-line

That's why he's a buy low. Why would have any less chance of success in the future than the other RB names being listed in this thread? (DMC, Martin, LeShoure, Chris Johnson)The OL and he did pretty well against the Giants in week one.ETA: Dallas' last 3 games were against Tampa, Chicago, and Seattle. All 3 are in the top 5 for rushing D so far this year.

Easier rushing defenses, at least based on 2012 stats do far. That could help. The Raiders not getting blown out. That could help. No guarantee, but that's what could change.
 
Martin's schedule

KC

NO

@MIN

@OAK

SD

@CAR

ATL

@DEN

PHI

@NO

STL

A few tough games but basically cake walk. And considering the volume of carries he's getting (I dont think Blount will get even close to 50% of the touches) I like him as a RB2 down the stretch. Look at that playoff schedule :excited:

 
J Stew - call it a gut feeling I guess. Weeks 13-16 have 3 opponents in the AFC west

Leshoure and to a lesser extent Brown both are buy lows because of recent matchups with an underrated defense in the Jaguars (and Browns whole schedule has been rough)

Cincy a good young offence who have a track record of running the ball when they are within the 5 yard line.Benjarvis has a nose for the end zone and is better then Benson. He's currently on pace for about 1200 and 8 TD's. Pretty good numbers quietly.

just watch out for his fumbles.I believe last game they were on the 1 3 different times. didn't work out so well for law firm
 
its funny you should mention the fumbles - he had never fumbled in his NFL career than twice in 2 weeks - I believe one was through the endzone.

This.DMC fights through everything he can. Look at the Raiders offense, what do you think the opposing team defense focuses on every week? Stopping the best player on their team. In PPR McFadden has still had 2 STUD weeks, with 2 stinkers. He's a long way from being CJ of 2011.
 
Another thing that could help DMac is getting Heyward-Bey and Moore on the field at the same time. They have not yet played a full game together. I think it's only coincidence that McFadden's lone TD (and two very close TDs) happened when they both were playing against the Steelers, but it's still enticing. Defenses will still key on McFadden until Heyward-Bey and/or Moore can make them pay -- assuming Palmer can make the throws. But at least it's possible to see defenses needing to take greater account of the other guys on the field than they have done for the most part so far this season.

 
Either Shaun Draughn or Peyton Hillis are likely cheap to get or even available. Jamaal Charles isn't going to be able to consistently carry the ball 30+ times per game so either Draughn or Hillis will get a lot of carries given how much KC runs the ball. They're good bye week filler.

This isn't the 2007-2011 Rams D. Fisher has them playing great. With Brockers now healthy, their run will be pretty good.
 
MJD is in a slump the last 2 games and is heading into a BYE. Now's a great time to pounce if he's on a 1-4 team desperate for a win.
