I'm starting Yeldon in a .5 PPR over Cole. I also have Fournette. I just think Yeldon will get more chances. Like I said, I like Cole a lot. Now, Yeldon is questionable, yet seems like a go?

Yeldon is going to play but between the ankle and Grant eating into his targets I just don't trust him very much.

Understandable. I kinda feel like I'm rolling the dice... with Yeldon. If JAX get up, then yes Grant will eat into the garbage time.

Obviously Clement may have a great game this week but I really hate all the people who say that he's in line for a monster workload like they've never watched a single PHI game coached by Pederson in their life.

That’s what makes this situation so frustrating. Under “normal”circumstances (non-Pederson), Clement would be a lock for a big workload. Being were he is, it makes the decision between him and other viable options (Lindsay, Collins, etc) really difficult.

Yup. I’ve had the headache that is DJax before. I won’t be chasing his high and low weeks. If he has sustained consistency, good for him it won’t be on my team.

Usually mine too, but Golladay in a Sun night shoot out and Clements vs the hapless Bills, feels better than Allen vs those two stud corners, and Cooks vs a decent def and shared catches with Kupp, Woods, and Ecklar this week.

Normally I'd agree with you, but the only the only competition for RB touches is Smallwood and Adams. I don't see Adams getting more than a handful of carries and Smallwood is just trying to prove he belongs. I think CC could get 20+ touches.

It could be Corey Clements game to shine once again.

Starting Latavius and Drake at RB.
Cooks and Cole at flex.
Miller, Clement, and Lindsay on the bench. Wondering if Clement should be played over Drake or maybe one of my flex WRs.

I mean, like I posted earlier Clement played on 42% of the snaps and was utilized 12 times where as Smallwood played on 30% of the snaps and was utilized 8 times last week. Even though Smallwood sucks Pederson will still run him.
I'm expecting ~15 touches for Clement. He could get 20+ touches but I imagine PHI would need to be playing catch-up for a lot of the game for that to happen.

Going Conner, Gio and DJ over Clement. Clement would be next up for me over Collins and Cooks. Non ppr

I went with Clement over Cole, IND giving up the most receptions to RBs pushed it over the edge for me.
If it doesn't work out I blame no one but myself.

This is what was expected. He wasn’t gonna come in and get 70% of the touches.

Welp, 20 touches and the production just wasn't there as we hoped. Definite drop for me if Ajayi comes back next week.
But I regret nothing!

19 touches in his first opportunity as the primary. And people are done? Tough crowd.

The problem is when guys are coming back from injuries here will be four of them hoping for touches, not just two. You're holding onto hoping for another injury and it'll still be a two or three headed backfield.

Here is my shameless "told you so" bump. Smallwood played on 35% of the snaps and touched the ball 13 times.
I should have listened to myself from early September, that guy knew things.
Hilts
Footballguy
He still had 19 touches. This system doesn't use a workhorse, but anyone who went with Clement didn't lose because of him. Yeah it would have been great if he got a touchdown and this was definitely disappointing but ppr leagues got tolerable production.
SameSongNDance
Footballguy
I just found it funny that my snap/touch prediction was pretty accurate, it's seemingly all I'm good at. I also take solace in the fact that I wasn't getting production out of my flex regardless as to who I plugged in that week.
I agree that the 19 touches was a good sign, I wonder if I went back and looked at game logs if that's a high for RBs in this system. I'll do it tomorrow.

Pederson is still calling plays though no?
I went back and checked. Since Pederson has been in PHI, the only time a RB was utilized more than Clement last week was Ajayi (21) in one of the post season games.

Opportunity was there but he didn’t deliver. Given Smallwood looked good too, anyone trusting Clement again?
Volume may be similar as last week but what’s to say he won’t disappoint fantasy-wise again?
Not sure I saw enough to make me think that even with same usage things will be different from last week in terms of his performance, split with Smallwood, etc.

If Ajayi and Sproles sit, I trust Clement and will put him in all my lineups.

I'd have him in the mix with any non ppr rb ranked outside the top ten. Drake, Miller, Hyde, Coleman...
Smallwood should still get lots of touches, it's just how this offense works. But as you said, the volume will be there. That's a rarity. Give me a guaranteed 15+ touches and I'll take my chances

If Ajayi and Sproles are down again this week gonna be hard to keep him on the bench over my other flex options.
Id categorize last week as a bigger “real” football disappointment than one fantasy wise. 9 points in my flex spot 1/2 point PPR isn’t setting the world on fire but not bad for a floor either.
If Ajayi goes this week Clements not seeing anything but my bench though
SameSongNDance
Footballguy
Ajayi is back at practice but it doesn't look like Sproles is back.
I still think Sproles being out would put Clement in the flex conversation but the match-up doesn't look great.
