Forge Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 3 hours ago, Fl0nkerton said: I'm looking to shore up the back end of my RB depth. Currently sitting with Dalvin / Kamara / Conner / Dion Thinking about picking up Ekeler, but I'm dropping Davante Parker for Enunwa. Are any of these viable drop options for Ekeler? Watkins, Garcon, Kupp, Kerryon Kohnson I think anyone who isn't going to crack your lineup, possibly even as a bye week fill in, is a viable drop for someone like Ekeler if you view handcuff guys as a bigger roster priority (though he gets snaps during games, Ekeler's value on a roster largely stems from being a clear cut handcuff as you shouldn't want to be playing him with Gordon healthy). So I don't see any way in which Garcon is likely to crack your lineup over Watkins and Kupp, so that's an easily acceptable one if you prefer.

11sanchez11 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 do I drop Alfred Morris, Jordy Nelson, or Austin Ekeler. I need to pick up a defense. .5 ppr league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holt_bruce81 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Hunter Henry is running...so if you have an open IR slot...might be worth stashing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyronnosaurus Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Do I drop Antonio Gates or Vance McDonald for Ricky Seals Jones, Austin Hooper, or Ian Thomas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to pick up a defense. .5 ppr league I think I'd drop Jordy depending on what your waiver wire looks like. I know in some of my leagues, the receiver waiver wire is pretty stacked with comparable guys to Jordy - Crowder, Godwin, Cole, Allison, Ginn, Westbrook, Dorsett, Mike Williams, John Brown are all out there in various leagues I'm in. Then guys like Brandon Marshall, Cole Beasley, Tyler Boyd, etc etc etc. So I think Jordy is the easiest one to replace. Ekeler is nothing more than a stash play, but if Gordon gets hurt, I think he's an immediate rb1 in that offense, so I think that's worth the roster spot, even if you never end up playing him for the year. Morris has a 50% carry share in the 49er backfield for sure, and he's going to be the goal line back. He's a guy I don't want to start if I can help it, but could have some nice weeks as a bye week filler, so I think that's important. If he's your rb4, you can certainly get away from him, but I don't see the need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running is no problem...even people without ACLs can run without much difficulty. The problem is cutting. In deep leagues he wouldn’t be a bad add if you need a TE.

Could be 2-3 points but I also like that he got about 90% of snaps last week. Can’t hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NcFinest9erFan Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Currently starting Cooper/Landry/Corey Davis. I have Hogan on the bench. Should I pick up Dante Pettis and start him over Davis/Cooper? Was thinking of dropping burkhead/barber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is rosterable but not startable. With Goodwin out, Pettis is starting. I don't expect a great game, but I expect a call from solid one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyronnosaurus Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Goodwin out. Is Pettis a good pickup and FLEX? Pick 2 out of Pettis, Yeldon, Gore in half PPR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
