show me the murray

Rough night for the stack. If you’re going to go for the trade I might see if I can get Rice instead of Jefferson, especially if you’re expecting the loss this week anyway as he’s on bye. Jefferson’s schedule might get better but McCarthy has still only made three starts in his career and is yet to throw for over 160 yards in a game.

Oh yeah. He’s done for the year.

Need a replacement for Dak. 14-team league and a few teams are hoarding QBs so waiver wire is slim pickings. Who do you prefer? Mariota vs Lions Penix @ Colts (in Germany) Rodgers @ Chargers Brissett @ Seahawks I’m really hoping the guy holding Darnold drops him (he had Hurts on bye last week). But I’m leaning Mariota. My opponent has Lions D though, which would make any turnovers effectively a four-point swing - does that factor into your decision?

If Benson returns he’s the starter and gets the lion’s share of the carries. Demercado will be in on third downs and Bam is virtually a non factor.

Bet you wish you’d forgotten Odunze was an option…

Flacco revenge game. He’ll keep throwing.

If it helps, when Dak is on bye, Dart gets the Bears (good matchup) and Fields gets the Browns (brutal matchup - if he even is still the starter).

Unless you can start two QBs I wouldn’t bother with a backup and just roll with Dak. If you really want insurance I’d probably roll with Dart because I’d fear Fields could lose the job if things carry on the way they are much longer.

I think the opportunity to shop Dowdle for anything meaningful has passed now, unless he has another big week this week and someone is convinced he’s now taken on the No1 role.

Hubbard was still a limited participant Wednesday and Thursday so my guess is they ease him back in somewhat. Dowdle has definitely earned a bigger slice of the pie. I know it was Miami and Dallas but how many RBs get 230+ yards from scrimmage in back to back weeks even in easy matchups? I have both and I’m rolling with Dowdle this week because I think he’ll start and Hubbard will maybe come in more on pass-catching downs. Going forward though it could be a little messy and I could see them rotating series unless one of them really sets himself apart.

Start McBride and Waller

I wouldn’t be too scared of the Chargers D. They just gave up a lot of rushing production to Jaxson Dart on his debut so if Daniels is healthy enough to run he should be fine.

Kamara and Deebo

Carter, Henderson, Smith

If you want to read anything into this quote from Michael Carter yesterday… “It’s been a lot. … You go from Pat Tillman (Scout Player of the Week) one week to starting the next.”
