HENRY, RODGERS, or EKELER? Season on the line

Recommended Posts

Injuries have killed me this year and being in a deep 14 team league certainly doesn't help. I need a 2nd RB (all below) to be paired with Carlos Hyde today. A loss and I am out of the playoffs. Half point PPR league.

 

Derrick Henry- Home vs. Hou

 

J. Rodgers- At GB

 

Austin Ekeler- Home vs. Cleveland

 

Buck Allen- Home vs. Detroit

 

 

Right now I am actually leaning towards Henry even though Mularkey continues to insanely be stubborn and start D. Murray but I'm hoping he finally sees the light in Henry and gives him the rock to a big ground day and victory. That being said, I am still debating between Rodgers and Ekeler. J. Rodgers should get the start but TB's run game with Martin has been awful and Peyton Barber snagged two GL TD's last week which concerns me. Ekeler I think could have about 7-10 carries but about 3-5 catches and maybe even a late game garbage TD but that is also obviously a guess and rolling the dice. Buck Allen is probably low end especially now with Woodhead in the mix as well.

 

Thoughts and your pick please. Good luck to all this weekend!!

Very tough decision as all options have their imperfections. If Quizz gets the start and Martin is out I would probably go him. Texans Run D has been tough, although last week they gave up 2 td. Coin flip really between quiz and Henry, I give the slight nudge to quiz because he will likely have more touches. Good Luck today!

Yeah and the irony is I also have Doug Martin which would have been one of his better match-ups so far this year too and but then he gets the concussion last week. Yeah, you may be right on Rodgers, just hope Barber doesn't pilfer any GL touches.

 

Thanks and good luck to you as well!

Yuck. I guess by default Rodgers is the guy. Buck cant be trusted with Woodhead back. If not Quiz then Id put henry as second choice
