I need to actually see Reid use the kid before I can insert him. That being said, he could very well have a banner week. Wouldn't surprise me a bit. However, since I have other options, I just can't chance it yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love Mixon and haven't given up on him, but he may share the ball and he hasn't got it going yet. My post suggest that maybe Darwin may... although sharing too, will have more upside being on the most explosive offense in the league... at least for this week.

If McCoy is out then he is a must start. I think McCoy plays and is ineffective. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unclemercy 51 Posted September 21, 2019 non ppr td heavy i havent decided if i will start him over tarik this week let alone mixon. ppr i have similar options and im waffling there as well but no doubt its worth a waffle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrG 94 Posted September 21, 2019 Darrel Williams might be the guy to watch if Shadygets banged up. I’d say the running back who best knows the playbook and can pass protect if Shady goes down is the guy to have. And after this Sunday won’t be surprised if they work out Spencer Ware.

That's correct. Williams will spell McCoy on running downs, with Darwin maybe getting a little more work in the passing game. It's like y'all are falling all over yourselves to start Darren Sproles or something. In fact, Darren Sproles will probly outscore Darwin this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doubtful, since there are so many propellor beanies picking him up THIS week--he just won't be available in many leagues on Tuesday--but he could well lead the fantasy universe in drops next week when people are falling over themselves to pick up Ty Johnson.

njacinto 4 Posted September 22, 2019 3 things I've noticed: 1. In the last 2 games, the best RB yardage has been 81 yards (McCoy). In fact during week 2, the most productive RB (McCoy) attained 23 yards. My take - This offense is NOT featuring the running game as in past seasons. I think the best you can hope for are RB receiving yards. Maybe... 2. Baltimore ranks 1st in the NFL in Run Defense... giving up (get this) 20.5 yards a game. But on the other side, they are ranked merely 18th in Pass Defense... giving up 254 yards a game... and 10 plays of 20+ yards. Normally, this would mean a GREAT game by Mahomes and his receivers... but... 3. Rotogrinders.com is reporting this... BAL @ KCC - "The best chance we have of seeing a downpour. Will be soaked before the game, with rain continuing in to it. Flash flood watch has been issued." Which seems to indicate the possibility of a VERY UGLY GAME. My take: The BEST game script I can envision happening for Darwin Thompson is him garnering 40-60 yards rushing with a constant commitment to ball control, 5 to 6 screen passes leading up to 50 yards... and one touchdown. This would be between 20 to 22 PPR fantasy points. But that's ONLY if he gets 75% of the snaps. If Shady is playing 50% of the snaps, Darwin may get 10 to 16 PPR points. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have the best run defense because teams haven't tried to run against them, that's all. 8 hours ago, njacinto said: My take: The BEST game script I can envision happening for Darwin Thompson is him garnering 40-60 yards rushing with a constant commitment to ball control, 5 to 6 screen passes leading up to 50 yards... and one touchdown.
