okay so here is the situation...
I have Chubb and now he is out. So, my two starting RBs would be...

Ekeler
Gaskin

I have Damien Williams who is also ruled out and I have Rountree as the handcuff to Ekeler who I cannot put in the lineup for obvious reasons.

Thoughts on picking op Alex Collins (who is available) and putting him in the lineup instead of Gaskin? OR.. pick him up anyway in the event that Carson misses a lot of time.

The only guy on the Roster that I could drop is Rountree.
Drop Rountree for Collins.

It seems Rountree dropped on the depth chart.
I'm fucked this week.  
robbieballs2003 : 10/15/2021 6:02 pm : link
I have Barkley and Montgomery out with injuries and Sermon and Mitchell on a bye. I started Gainwell last night who got me 1.1 points. My other backed I picked up was Perine but I'm going to drop him for one of Stevenson or David Johnson. I could also try for Demetric Felton. Basically, I am losing this week (had Tom Brady go last night and it was an okay, not great game). Good thing I am 5-0.
Gaskin should be better with Tua back

but that OL is so bad, who knows. Collins I like more but no Wilson makes that tricky too. I can see Seattle shutting down Carson if his injury lingers and they continue to stink, so I’d make sure to pick up Collins anyway.

Is McKinnon available?

Why Stevenson? You think Harris won't play or Harris won't have the lead back role for long?

Stevenson fumbled in his first game and hasn't really seen the field since (until last week when Harris got sidelined).

Plus, Harris fumbled last week at the goal line.

I kind of felt like based on camp it was only a matter of time before it became Stevenson's job, but predicting Patriots RB touches is like throwing darts.

The way I look at it is that there are no RBs available and I am losing this week. No, McKinnon is not available. So, who has the best chance to carve out a decent role moving forward. Imo, that is Stevenson. I'm assuming Barkley will be back in a week or two since he wasn't put on IR and I get Mitchell/Sermon back next week. I'll be fine in a week or two. Then, imo, I'll get Montgomery back after his bye and then my team is ready to go. I'm pretty much stacked everywhere else. I just would rather roll with Stevenson just in case his role grows.

Brady
Tannehill

Barkley
Montgomery
Mitchell Sermon
Jeff Wilson
Gainwell

McLaurin
Diontae
Claypool
Waddle
Mooney
Marshall

Kelce

Bass

Rams
Cardinals
That extra roster spot  
pjcas18 : 10/15/2021 6:59 pm : link
helps, we have 16-man rosters.

Yes and no.  
robbieballs2003 : 10/15/2021 7:12 pm : link
It is 17 roster spots and 2 IR. I have Montgomery and Wilson on IR right now. It is good because we have a lot of starting positions (1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 FL, 1 K, 1 D). However, waivers is bare.

Fair point. We have 16 roster spots with no IR. so guys like Logan Thomas clogged up my bench until I had Kamara and others on bye this week so I had top drop Thomas and pick up a TE.
Need help. Pick 2  
GNewGiants : 10/15/2021 7:50 pm : link
Gibson
Dionte
Waller
Toney
My head says Gibson and Diontae

QB Waiver Options...  
EricJ : 10/15/2021 8:15 pm : link
so I have Russel Wilson who was just put in IR. It is likely he is not available until the fantasy playoffs. I also have Kirk Cousins but he is on a bye next week.

My top waiver options are Tannehill and Ryan. Not only looking for someone who I can play during the bye, but also a pivot from Cousins if he is struggling

Isn’t Ryan on a bye this week too?
Ryan has played well this year. Who is he playing?  
robbieballs2003 : 10/15/2021 8:17 pm : link
Tannehill has Buffalo this week so that's a pass.
Is mayfield or wentz available?  
GNewGiants : 10/15/2021 8:18 pm : link
Without Chubb - mayfield maybe a sneaky good play. Wentz has a nice matchup too.

I would need him NEXT week when Cousins is on Bye. Ryan plays Miami and Tannehill has Kansas City. Both good QB matchups
Yeah, would

say to anyone playing, do yourself a favor and just check your lineups for next week (week 7). Lot of fantasy firepower on bye (Bills, Cowboys, Jags, Chargers, Steelers, Vikings). If you have a fungible roster spot, and can beat the waiver wire rush after this week, now might be a time to get ahead of it as best you can.

that is exactly why I was looking to pickup the QB now.

Meanwhile, my opponent in a 20 team league has is QB on bye this weekend and his backup is on IR. There was just ONE starting QB remaining (even Taysom Hill was gone) and I grabbed him in this week's waivers to block him.
