I love my WR corps. My rb situation is a shambles but who cares

My whole team is a shambles, Melvin Gordon had the highest score on my roster, and I had him on the bench lol. Finishing with 71 total points babyyy

[WastedHippy]

With a good outing by Saquon today I should be able to take the win and secure my 3 week undefeated streak 😎😎

[PAWL]

My cordarelle Patterson gambit is looking smart. Tune in next week when he gets 5 Carries for 18 yards

Just saw swift is missing a couple weeks. I knew drafting Jamaal Williams would pay off. Also his speech on hard knocks turned my life around

His rookie season with the Vikings I drafted him in the last round and he ended up being my most productive player. He was never a great route runner as a receiver but once the ball in his hands the dude was electric.  Always have a soft spot for him.

He's quietly been arguably the best backup in the league for a few years now. People like to big up Mattison and Pollard because they're flashy but Williams was always consistent and productive when he got the chance in GB. Detroit hasn't even really used him as a receiver which is something he's very adept at as well. In the age of the talented but oft injured lead back like CMC, Saquon, and Swift a guy like Jamaal who can come in and consistently be productive without fumbling is incredibly valuable. I believe he actually has one of the no fumble records, maybe most carries to start a career without losing one.

I was surprised no one gave him a shot at being a bell cow after GB didn't bring him back for a 5th year. With how versatile he is and how many teams seem to have ball security woes I would have expected Houston or Miami or Seattle to target him but alas its a copycat league and maybe he is better suited to being the clapper of a thunder and lightning duo. Either way I think he's going to be a top 10 back until swift comes back.

I was really happy to see Devonta Smith have a bit of a coming out party. I drafted him early last year in my dynasty and I've been bullish on him ever since. He had 150 yards and a td at the half and I'm pretty sure he could have put up 250 if they kept throwing. Definite shades of the NC game a few years back where he dropped a qb like stat line.

I’m forever grateful to the Dallas Cowboys for letting us trade into their spot and snipe him from the Giants. 😂

God that Tua injury did not look good

[Sativa Lung]

I can't shake the feeling that if I swap Devonta Smith into my wr2 slot he's going to disappear again and Adam Thielen, my wr2 stalwart for the last 5 years, is going to have his first really big game of the year. It's so hard to bench a guy that flies under the radar but has been a really great fantasy wr for a long time now for a guy I believe in but don't fully trust.

What do you guys think about Dawson Knox? I'm starting to hit the panic button on him a bit. I know they gave him a big deal but there's just so many mouths to feed on that offense and  they're not playing from behind and throwing 60x a game anymore. I grabbed David Njoku who's presumably playing for a contract since he's franchise tagged and had a big game last week, but he's hard to get excited about either since he's always been talented but inconsistent. Even though I hate carrying 2 TEs I feel like I have to until someone steps up.

Dalton Schultz is on the wire in this league as well, would you swap Schultz for Knox even though Daks out? I kinda feel like they have similar floors but Schultz has a higher ceiling, especially once Dak comes back.

I think Knox will be lost in the pecking order behind Gabe and McKenzie. He’s like a Mike Gesicki at this point.

I somehow managed to grab a Dak off waivers in another league. He’d be my back up behind Lamar and all I had to do was drop Trevor Lawrence.

Also favorite past team name:

Turn Your Head and Goff

[rawr1922]

After 2 solid weeks , all in with Dameon Pierce & gonna start him every week

[DaleSr]

I'm a fool for starting pollard over Jacobs. I deserve this L

[WastedHippy]

I started him in my other league after having him ride the bench..of course he has a slump week haha

[igrindtwinkies]

God that Tua injury did not look good

Ya, Dale was trying to get him off me the night before and I blew it.

[lamfordie]

Jesus christ I cant get a win. Im hoping Stafford will go off for more than 30 and the rams D shuts down Deebo.

[rawr1922]

In Deebo We Trust. Good matchup for most of the day though. Close for awhile until Clyde Edwards Helaire  went off. Rashard Penny 28.7 points & Dameon Pierce 25.9, both on my bench. Have no regrets about Penny, he let me down before. Moving forward, starting Dameon Pierce every week. Gonna ride into greatness

This happens to me with him every year and i fall for it every time

Sitting pretty undefeated so far this season😎

[BallDontLie]

If i was in the other division, I’d be last for sure ha.

My RB corps is averaging like 20 points between the two. Kupp and Herbert have been bailing me out.

[DaleSr]

RB has just been an absolute buzzsaw position. Outside of a few big performers, we've seen a lot of studs under perform so far this season. Jonathan Taylor has been horrible, kamara was injured this week but hasn't been targeted by jameis in the passing game, ekeler has had some rough games, swift is injured, Javonte is out for the season, shit has been rough.

Don’t forget Christian McCaffrey pulling a Peyton Hillis. Possibly influenced by Baker Mayfield.

True. This was definitely the year to stock up on elite WRs and get mid tier RBs and back ups
