The Eagles are a puzzling team. They waited until Miles Sanders got hurt to start actually TRYING to run the ball. In the games that he has missed, their rushing attempts have gone WAY WAY up. Sanders could be a valuable buy-low if the Eagles continue to run at this new volume.

I dropped him after his week 1 healthy scratch situation. Was upset to see him score twice the following week but for the most part he's been completely unreliable.

Julio Jones, Diggs, Aiyuk, Mike Davis, Gaskin, Ridley, Laviska, Too many WRs to count.

Not much foresight in that decision huh?

But why couldn't he just go the Beasley or Wentz route? Instead he was borderline cryptic and deceitful when asked. As if he wasn't expecting the question to ever arise? He was calculated with all of that. He knew what he was doing. Just seems extra dooshee IMO.

Problem is Peterson is well documented to be a diva. You might be right about game script featuring mcnichols if they fall behind but I expect most of the early work to go to Peterson. I'm not putting too much stock in game 1 tough matchup vs Rams and learning offense. However, there's a couple juicy matchups on tap vs Texans and Jaguars where game script could lean heavily on Peterson.

His size and profile remind me so much of Plaxico. I feel like he can be just as good.

I just traded away Julio Jones for Javonte Williams. I think both players are interesting buy low candidates right now.

If they signed anyone but Peterson. Proof is in the pudding. Has there ever been a bigger diva RB? Sadly I don't think McNichols is gonna get a fair shake.

As much as I like what I've seen from McNichols, I do think Peterson will get the majority of the carries and early down work. I'm optimistic that maybe they'll alternate series but I doubt it. The Titans have an excellent run blocking scheme which allows Henry to get into the secondary often untouched. Peterson has always been a 1-cut and go RB which is a perfect fit for how the Titans run the ball. Also, we can't forget that Peterson is a MEGA DIVA. He'd never sign anywhere to be a backup. If he doesn't get carries, he's going to make a stink and ask for a release like he's always done. My fear is the Titans have already promised him a hefty workload.

In redraft, no lol.

DJax makes perfect sense. They use Ruggs to stretch the field for guys like Waller to work in space underneath. There's no reason DJax couldn't come in and do the same.

I honestly wouldn't bump up anyone in terms of fantasy value. It's not like Edwards or Renfrow can recreate the deep threat that is Henry Ruggs and he is not highly targeted anyway.

Not if he plays well. There is no replacing Derrick Henry, but McNichols might be the best of the available options. I’d venture out to say he’s a better RB right now than Mike Davis and Adrian Peterson.

This is one of the few times that owning the handcuff pays off. McNichols had almost zero standalone value but now he could potentially be a league winner off the WW. In the only league that I own Henry, I picked up McNichols a few weeks ago just because I had the space and surplus of moves. Can’t imagine he’s not the top WW add this week right?

I think McNichols is/was always more suited for a regular role than Evans was. He has the prototypical size and speed and he was a bellcow in college. I think he’s very competent. I wouldn’t get too cute here and speculate anyone off the street or practice squad leapfrogging him on the depth chart or sharing with him. I thought he’s looked decent in all of his opportunities spelling Henry, dating back to last season.

Thanks. Forgot about that.

I think even if they bring someone in they should give McNichols first crack with Darrynton Evans as the change of pace / 3rd down / passing downs back. McNichols is a must add everywhere and Evans is a sneaky add in deeper leagues.

Gainwell filled in for Sanders admirably. He was basically invisible.

Trust me I don’t have time to go thru all of our wrong predictions lol. Let’s celebrate the small victories. Ironically I’ve been using Henderson and the Rams almost every week in DFS.

Thanks az$h0I3. Again 2 totally different things. Henderson was never a WW add or buy low suggestion. I’m not gonna comb thru all of your wrong predictions because unlike yourself, I have a life.

Right but this is the Michael Carter/ NYJ RB thread. I could make a long list of other predictions that I had wrong but why would I acknowledge that here? Back to your original comment I do not have to acknowledge random L over there to take 1 victory lap over here. You’re just pooping in my Cheerios for no reason.

I can run for 100 yards behind the Rams run blocking scheme. He had a great game today vs a cupcake matchup but he was averaging 4.3 ypc on the season which is literally average. No need to hijack the thread.

Oh yeah.

I like all of Stafford's WRs this week. Kupp, Woods, Jefferson, DJax, and Higbee.
