I think he's def worth a stash. I picked him up and threw him into my IR spot as soon as Dobbins went down. Mitchell has juice and is far superior to any tailback they have. The problem is that the Ravens have a history of being totally ok with using old veteran RBs or committees...so Mitchell's path to feature back status is very capped.

I saw on the ticker that Etienne had some kind of injury late in the 4th and was questionable to return. I don't think he came back. Anybody see this? ANy info on this?

If I'm the G.Wilson owner and I can somehow trade away Wilson for Kupp, do I do that? I'm concerned that Wilson is gonna struggle big time with Zach Wilson as his QB. Kupp is the injury risk, though, but his upside is far superior to Wilson's at his point if both are healthy. Do I go for that trade or hold G.Wilson?

why?

My other WRs are Lamb and Olave, so I am okay. But yes, all of this depends on how long Kupp is out. I get that. Are there other possible trade targets for G.Wilson? I want to move him, esp while his preseason hype is still somewhat high and he had that acrobatic TD catch in game 1. I'm thinking of guys like D.Adams, Higgins, etc....I will not trade down...just looking for someone near him in the preseason rankings that may have had a tough week 1....

fwiw, I picked up Evan Hull. I like him more than Jackson for sure, and it's close with Moss (Moss has never been special). Steichen isn't loyal to last years guys. Here's an interesting piece pumping up Hull. https://www.si.com/nfl/colts/news/anthony-richardson-evan-hull-colts-best-qbrb-option

When Taylor went down last year, the Colts used Moss as the primary early downs guy. Moss had a few nice weeks and a huge massive week 18. They used Jackson primarily as Moss' backup and as the pass catcher. In the pre-season games this year, Jackson has started ahead of Hull, prob cause Hull is a rookie.....so right now, assuming they do not sign Kareem Hunt, I'd say they will rotate Jackson and Hull, with Jackson getting the start and slight edge. But once Moss is back (maybe week 2 or 3?), then Moss should be the guy with Jackson catching passes and Hull factoring in. But Hull could easily take over this backfield by mid season...he was a true 3-down back at Northwestern and he may be better than all of them. It'll be a hot hand approach.

exactly. It's the first--he's likely healthy enough to pass a physical and play or they would never have been asking for a 1st rounder. He's now on the PUP because there's a massive rift now. he's steaming angry that there were solid offers but the Colts refused to accept them...so he's likely told them he won't play....so they'll stash him on IR to keep him healthy and likely continue to pursue trade options before the NFL trade deadline. The Tue 8/29 deadline was just an artificial Colts imposed deadline before roster cuts. He ain't playing again for the Colts and could just sit the whole year if an acceptable offer doesn't come in. I don't see how anybody would draft him before round 5 or 6 at this point, and even then...too risky.

not including the possible addition of Kareem Hunt, who then becomes the RB currently on the roster to own in Indy? Zach Moss? Deon Jackson? Evan Hull?

1/2 pt ppr. From week 4 onward, once Kamara is back, who you like rest of season? Please rank these three.

just a standard season long league. No redraft or keeper

If this is a 10 or 12 team league I would strongly consider this because you do not have any stud RBs or stud WRs. I'm trying to figure out how you drafted? Did you take Mahomes in round 1? If so who was your 2nd pick? St. Brown? Anyway...assuming this is true, you are trading away your top pick. But I'd still do it to get CMC and Tua. Tua and Goff are capable QBs this year with upside. And CMC gives you that stud RB that you lack. I'd be more apt to do it if you could get a top 5 WR instead of CMC since it's a 1/2 ppr league and there will be more difference making RBs on waivers as the season progresses more so than top WRs, but that might not be possible.

1/2 pt ppr league. 10 team league I get 4 guys: Kamara, Jamaal Williams, Jeudy, D.London. I give up 2 guys: Dobbins and Ridley the two bench guys I'd have to drop to make the trade work are Z.White and K.Hunt in this league, you start 2 RB, 2 WR, and two Flex spots (RB/WR/TE) My Team: RBs: CMC, Etienne, Mattison, Dobbins, Gainwell/Penny, Z.White, Hunt WRs: Lamb, G.Wilson, Olave, Ridley, S.Moore

Thanks! I appreciate all the insight and I generally agree. This isn't a redraft or keeper or dynasty league. Just a plain old seasonal league.

gotcha. well what if I wasn't dropping those two guys. What if I was dropping garbage to make that trade. Would you say go for it or not?
