I know it's not been done since Maroney in 2006 and I get that. Thing I don't get is how we can trust this situation at this point. I know I am not the only one who was burned by Patriot RBs over the past 15 years. Am I bitter? No, but the idea of not trusting Patriots RBs for Fantasy Football has been around much much longer then Sony has been with this team. Every year there is a guy who we think is going to be awesome and worth the roster stash and it turns out he isn't. This year it was Sony or Hill. To the drafters of Hill you have my condolences. It seems logical that we should start seeing what Sony can do this week. All they have is James White, Rex Burkhead (concussion issues), Sony Michel and Kenjon Barner (Signed off the street this week) so I see a clear path to volume with Sony now. Wasn't as clear when Hill was still in the mix. But remember last year it was Gillislee and that guy didn't work out. The years before there were other guys like Stevan Ridley and Shane Vereen. Didn't work out for them either. There is a much longer history of players regretting drafting Patriot RBs then people being happy they did. Its high risk with possibility of reward but in the end the juice has to be worth the squeeze right because if you buy crap your going to get crap. Now with that sad what are Sony's chances this year? Well he missed most all of training camp due to a knee issue he got August 4th and he's yet to play in any game situation in the NFL. Do we know if he can pass protect? Not yet. Which makes him even less likely to get a starting spot. I can't trust this until I see it with my own eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't trust this until I see it with my own eyes All fair points, I got him so deep in the draft I thought it was worth the chance, my thought was he wouldn't be a real RB2 play until week 6 or so and I was good with that.

With that said 22 of the Browns RB carries last week went to Carlos Hyde. I think he's the better option between Collins who was benched last game for fumbling. Garcon did crappy last week dropping a sure TD. Davis did great leading his team in passing targets. Mariotta is still expected to play this weekend. I'm playing Davis as long as MM goes Goodwin will most likely be out, Garçon will be targeted a lot and is a sure pass catcher. Corey Davis seems iffy to me with a somewhat healthy Mariota. Maybe I’m wrong with Walker being injured but I’m stumped on this decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is going to rebound this week and get more carries, something like 14 carries for 75 yards and a TD. He'll get a few receptions too. I'd pick him over Carlos Hyde for sure. I don't really like the Browns in New Orleans, Saints are hungry to redeem themselves from last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Of course I faced AJ Green this week. Seems like my opponents always have amazing days against me. Thankfully I still won last week but this week isn't off to such a good start, especially with Alex Collins not doing too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corey Davis seems iffy to me with a somewhat healthy Mariota. Maybe I’m wrong with Walker being injured but I’m stumped on this decision. Garcon was targeted 7 times last week and caught two passes. Compared to Corey Davis 13 targets last week. Again I am a volume guy. The volume side of it is with Davis. I think that both volumes likely stay the same minus injuries this week. I'm watching the Titans Dolphins game now on Game Pass and even before he was injured Mariota was playing badly, overthrowing easy passes that turned in INT's yet Davis was his #1 option. Something to think about. Now with that said if Mariota plays then I still think Davis is the better play. However if Gabbert starts I'd move off Davis. The guy I personally want with the 9ers is George Kittle. He seems like he was JG's first option in that passing game. Not Garcon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chew Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Wow. I already lost Delanie Walker for the season, and now I see Joe Mixon to have his knee scoped and will be out anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks. Please don't let it be one of those seasons. ?

Bonez3 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 standard scoring, pick 2... C. Thompson, Ajayi, L. Miller PPR... Henry or Yeldon (I would have to add Yeldon on roster)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry or Yeldon (I would have to add Yeldon on roster)? Thompson and Ajayi. Thompson showed last week he is still really good. If you have room to add Yeldon, add him and play him. He'll probably get some catches even if Fournette plays. So he has PPR value. And if Fournette doesn't play, Yeldon will be the guy. With Henry, he's only going to be valuable if the Titans are up late or if he breaks a big run. If they fall behind, it will be all Lewis. If you think Tennessee rolls tomorrow, you can play Henry.

Bacon Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Another terrible week of fantasy, but my opponent had an even more terrible week, so as long as Jordan Howard keeps it under 20, I can get the W. A few bad decisions on my part, like starting Demariyus Thomas over DJax, but nothing as dumb as my opponent leaving Roethlisberger's 45 points on the bench because he's a Pats homer and insisted that Brady vs. the Jaguars was a better matchup.

In one of my leagues I was shocked to see Roth on my bench. I was almost 100% certain that I had started him - Fortunately I managed to pull that one off (unless Howard gets me negative points).

SoulSkin Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I pretty much got my ass handed to me in everything except my one seasonal league today. That team scored 165 in .5 ppr (pretty straight up roster/league), but survivor leagues, DFS, and my ATS pickem league were all disastrous. I got 3 games (!) right in the pickem. Probably the worst all around weekend I've ever had in like 15 years or so. Tough/weird week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 PHEW!!!!! 2-0. 2 W’s diwn. 14 to go. Almost got a little too cute for my own good and left the win sat on the bench. But Engrams late TD pulls it out at the death. Lucky stupid GHH. Note to self: Get back to smart head first selections! Lesson learnt. Hail.

The Evil Genius Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Went from scoring the most (by 20 points) last week to scoring the least this week. Ah FF. How I hate thee. Dropping Peyton Barber and making a claim for Ekeler and Bernard. Hopefully I can grab one of the two with losing Mixon for 2-6 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
