Reggie Bush or Bobby Rainey - who'd you guys go with this week?

I think there's no question that the play is Rainey right now since Martin seems highly unlikely to play.

The RB situation in Detroit is slowly becoming 60-40 in Bell's favor, making Bush less and less of a sure thing especially in non-PPR leagues.

What are people's thoughts on Jeremy Hill vs. Carlos Hyde for the rest of the season? I have Jeremy Hill and I'm considering trading him for Carlos Hyde plus. Hill has more value now but I like Hyde more as a talent and I think Gore is likelier to break down than Bernard. Plus, Hill is on my bench for now anyway. Thoughts?

Absolutely Rainey, especially if Martin doesn't play. He will get 20 touches as long as it isn't a blow out, and he'll likely get garbage screen passes if its a blowout.

I think it depends on what you are looking for. Hyde is a much better talent, but unless it's a keeper league, I just don't see him having value this season unless Gore gets hurt. I have him and I'm still holding onto him because he'd be amazing if Gore wasn't around, but they barely give him any touches and Gore looks good. Why would that change to the point where Hyde is worth actually starting on my team? Hill's role seems to be increasing a bit as time goes on and I guess at some point he might be worth starting in a pinch. Unlike Hyde, I think he will get enough touches soon where he can at least be startable during bye weeks, even if Bernard is good to go.

that the smart play is to keep Hill. But I'm trying to figure out ways to snatch up Hyde. I'm hoping he has another down week or two and I can buy-low on him.

I'll never root for injuries and I hope Frank Gore stays healthy because he's just one badass mofo who I've liked since his Miami days, but he's a 31 year old RB with 2500 career touches and if he goes down Carlos Hyde becomes an elite fantasy RB. He's the biggest lottery ticket in the league this year imo.

That's why I'm holding onto Hyde myself. I have a pretty good group of RB's(Bernard, Jennings, Miller, Hyde, Forsett). I'd rather hold onto the lottery ticket. If I wasn't quite as deep with potential fill-ins on bye weeks, I might consider Hill over Hyde.

I have Gio Bernard and I was offered Demaryius Thomas straight up in a deal.

My other Rbs are Lynch, Sproles, Martin, Rainey, Kniles Davis.


Would you make the deak?

do you start? Who are your WR's? My initial thought is hell yes.

*Deal

KMED -

Start 2 RBs, 2 WRs and a Flex

Other WRs are Edleman, Fitz, Cooks, DJax, Decker

he changed his mind.

Sorry Kmed....2 RBs, 3 WRs and a Flex

as fast as possible.

.

You start 2 RB's, 3 WR's and Flex. You have 4 RB's that you can comfortably start with a clear cut RB1. You have upside at RB as well.

You are pretty weak at WR and you will most likely be outmatched at WR2 and WR3 on a weekly basis.

You have the opportunity to upgrade the player as well as trade from strength for a weakness.

Do it.

Thanks everyone...just accepted it.

or Shane Vereen vs Oak

or Woodhead @ Buf?

FU AP!

PPR, but I'm concerned with Vereen's shoulder injury

Woodhead if ppr, probably either way. Donald Brown isn't getting all the carries.

see if they think he'll be limited.

Pierce got 23 touches last week and should see similar action this week so even in PPR he's a decent play.

Sorry, should've specified non-PPR. I'm worried Woodhead won't get more than 10-12 touches even with Matthews out.

for my flex positoin. No ppr league. Thanks...

in a non PPR league. He has a grand total of 13 rushes this season.

PPR, straight up

currently have Matt Forte, Doug Martin, D'angelo williams, Bobby Rainey, and Khiry Robinson

thoughts?

Start Bush over Rainey. LOL

I wouldn't do that trade

If you predicted a blowout as the reason, then fine. Otherwise this is a total anomaly. Glennon won't even check down to him and he's wide open. Everything about this game is backwards.

I am playing around. Sheesh.

I think Doug Martin is going to get another shot.

of course he is, he's injured isn't he? Martin blows Rainey and James away if he's healthy. Was Martin sitting for a fumble?

People believe that Rainey has won the job and Martin has been benched.

wow, I didn't realize that. I'd been trying to acquire Martin for cheap while he's injured and the guy rejected Keenan Allen for Doug Martin, I thought that was fair. Glad he rejected it. I have a surplus of WR's and Adrian peterson and Ben tate are killing me (tate less but I was counting on him).

well that's that.

Mike James time?

Doug Martin has sucked, under 3 yards per carry the last 2 seasons. That was Rainey's job, easy matchup against the Falcons who can't stop the run, he solidifies it tonight. Then, nightmare. I can't beat myself up over starting Rainey, it had 125 total yards, 5 receptions 2 tds written all over it.

I can however kick myself for sitting Devin Hester with Roddy White out. Welker better do something against Seattle!

Doug Martin was a rookie in 2012 and averaged 4.6 ypc with 11 TD's, he was injured in his 2nd season running behind a terrible, 2004-Giants-like OL and averaged 3.6 ypc after 127 attempts.

he also caught 50 passes as a rookie.

Are you sure you're thinking of the same Doug Martin?

Rumor in Tampa is that Martin could have played the last 2 weeks but Lovie is riding the hot hand. Rainey has been that hot hand. He might actually salvage something in garbage time here. No way do you trade Keenan Allen for Doug Martin. The RB situation is up in the air right now after tonight but at best for Martin owners it will be a RBBC. Rainey > Martin in PPR.

Or you just made that up? You're special.

...

Got me 10, I'll certainly take it. Mike James blows so I doubt he gets touches outside of an injury.

of my leagues.

In PPR, DeAndre Hopkins or Andrew Hawkins at Flex? Hopkins has been scoring TDs, but Hawkins has 22 targets after 2 games.

1. Traded Knile Davis for Mark Ingram. My team is pretty solid except for my RB2. I figured this was a chance at a good RB for when Ingram comes back. He looked great before he broke his hand. Also there were some saying that Charles isn't going to be out that long so wanted to trade KD while he had value.

2. Traded Asiata and Hopkins for Gehrhart. The one is questionable but here's my thinking. Gerhart is the guy for the Jags and I think underrated. Off to a terrible start. But is he worse than Asiata? Probably not. It actually sounds like Min is going RBBC I'll take Gerharts upside. Next, Hopkins. I just think he's overrated and I'm not going to start him, ever. I'm going to go pick up Davante Adams who has more upside than Hopkins.

Thoughts on the 2 deals? Was I a moron in the 2nd trade?

no idea what your team looks like but Gerhart looks like a backup RB.

He exemplifies what the word "putz" means.

I do have White in one of my leagues, but I'm so deep at WR that it really didn't matter.

If it's my team, I'm starting Hawkins.

now that aj green has practiced and may play. I start 3 wide receivers and i have a flex spot.

i have:

AJ Green
Randall Cobb
Kendall Wright
Andrew Hawkins
Mohammed Sanu
Cecil Shorts
Carlos Hyde


I also have Jordan Cameron and Travis Kelce at tight end.


If Green plays you have to start him right? and then put hawkins at the flex and sit sanu shorts and hyde?

unless he's just not playing.
