Glad you guys didn't drop Crowder. I didn't realize that was on the table. Definitely hold.

Gallman isn't a bad option. He has little competition. He even gets some receptions. He had 34 receptions as a rookie while only playing 29% of snaps. And now he is in his third year of playing with Eli so he could be even more effective as a receiver. Few handcuffs can be counted on to actually be lead back when the starter goes down. Wayne would be lead back if Saquon goes down.

Salient points, with one quibble. Eli's done starting. It's Jones. I'm not sure I like Gallman as an addition. They're not a great team; what makes them so attractive at times is Barkley's transcendent talent.

Gallman is a nice running back for the Giants to pair with Jones. Gallman is great at pass protection. His PFF pass block grades from the last 2 years are 85.7 and 88.3. Gallman probably has a ceiling of a RB2 because of being on the Giants. He is not Saquon. But getting a RB2 from the waiver wire is massive. It would be extra massive in a running back heavy league where 72 running backs are rostered.

I would have held waiver priority, but you know what? I never made my case as to why, so that's out the window.
Mostert is fine, but there's a bye week Week Four, IIRC, for Coleman to heal and send Mostert back to the bench. Mostert also just ceded goal line work to another back, whose name I cannot recall right now. Wilson?
This is outstanding. Breida runs outside, Mostert runs inside and catches dump offs, and some chap named Wilson takes it to the house from close. Lovely.

What I meant was that Breida was thought to get the majority of the touches, not a relatively equal distribution with Mostert, but I guess that’s to be expected with Shanahan.

All I read was that Shanahan “hinted at” Wilson getting GL work. Never have been a fan of Shanahan RBBC guys. Too inconsistent.

Remember, no matter what his son does to this team - it's all puppies and rainbows in this thread! Kinda like how the entire team says "good answer" on Family Feud, even when the answer blows chunks.Dropped Henderson instead of Ty Monty for Gallman?
Henderson has much more talent than Gallman, even if he’s currently buried on the Rams’ depth chart.

James had 387 carries. Other backs got 5. Edge also had 63 receptions. The other scrubs had 4.

I can probably pick him up again. There may not be anyone interested in a player that's had 1 carry so far and didn't play a single snap last week.

Right? They used the run to set up the... Run. No surprise as those were the Bob Avellini days.
From Walter’s infamous 1977 game vs. MIN:
Bob Avellini
4/6, 33 Yds, INT
Walter Payton
40 Rush, 275 Yds, TD
James Scott
2 Rec, 22 Yds

That was the 2000 season. In 1999, James had 369 carries. His backup, Keith Elias, had 13. Two other backs on the roster (incl one FB, Paul Shields) got nada.

Gore was picked up by someone with a higher waiver claim. We are down to 9th in the pecking order.

I think the team is in good shape. Let the season play out a bit. Keep eyes open for opportunities and such.

I'm less concerned about the Ravens defense than I am about the weather. Expected to be heavy rain, windy, and thunderstorms all afternoon. The Ravens did a good job last year pressing Mahomes. If the ball is wet, lots of things can go wrong. And wind usually hurts QB numbers.

The last weather report I saw was intermittent T-storms. Mahomes threw for almost 300 yards and 4 TDs in one quarter last week. An hour or so break in the weather looks appetizing to me. The Ravens secondary is a MASH unit right now.
Go with Wilson if you want to reduce perceived risk. I'm just saying that I would not worry about what Mahomes can do today.

They just showed the stadium. You can barely see from the rain as they showed them taking the tarp off the field.

Might have a better chance trading Wilson after today's performance.
Pulling for you.

I see Evans finally blew up.
Bold strategy starting AP and CHI D since they are at odds. Better to roll the dice with Cohen.
Deamon
Footballguy
Ya you gift wrapped that for him. Would have had a better record for sure if you didn't make the trade. Oh well, hindsight.
What do you need to happen now on Monday night?

Not sure about your first statement. Definitely would have lost last week if we still had Evans. Fitz is on pace for 96/1350/11. Other than Brown in Week 1, all the other RB's we had on the roster originally have been abysmal.
We are losing by 22.08 heading into tonight. We have either Cohen or Peterson and the Bears defense to catch up. IMO, those two backs are pretty close projection wise this week. The Bears really haven't utilized Cohen much at all. Peterson is probably 25-35% to get a goal line TD. Neither one is a great option, as I doubt either one will have a noteworthy fantasy week. We will likely need a big game from the Bears defense with a return TD to stand a chance.

Yeah no doubt. The trade did result in a H2H victory last week that wouldn't have happened otherwise. Unless some other deal had materialized at the last minute. But moving forward who knows.
AP at Chicago is unfortunate. Flip a coin between him and Cohen.

Last week if the trade hadn't happened:
Evans 10.1 Montgomery 7.0 Brown 5.7
Total 22.8 (I forget this *is* PPR no?)
Last week with the trade:
Fitzgerald 15.4
AP 11.2
Cohen 4.5
Total 31.1
With trade equals victory without trade equals loss. But that is just one week and the balance sheet comparison for this week is undoubtedly unfavorable after Evans monster game. But it is also difficult to compare post-trade box scores when you consider what other forks in the road the team may have gone if the Evans deal hadn't been made. Too many what ifs.

0.5 PPR scoring.
IMO, we would have lost with Evans last week. As you said, water under the bridge now. Still haven't gotten much scoring from RB's. We definitely aren't going to outscore the Top 3 scoring teams in any week and haven't had the luxury of playing teams that put up duds. We are Bottom 2 or 3 in team points allowed (not that we are in control of that).
If we somehow are able to win tonight, we would probably end up as the 4th highest scoring team this week. Therein lies the problem. Given the RB's on our roster, there is no way we are ever going to beat a team that scores a lot. We will be lucky to get 10 points from our 2 RB's again this week. In three games, we have been outscored at RB 80 to 30.
No one is really all that eager to trade us a reliable RB and want Mahomes of Hopkins in return. Giving up one of them for a part time back or RB3 doesn't make any sense. No one really available on waivers either.
