stonewall 647 Posted November 27, 2020 I hear you, man. Lotta moving parts this week on your RB roster. Ballage was limited again today and still listed as questionable. Tomorrow will tell the tale....and should also tell us if Ekeler will be activated....and Gaskin/Mostert, as well. Gore available? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Missed more than I have hit, unfortunately....but thank you kindly. You've been around long enough, Ray, to understand that weekly lineup decisions are basically nothing more than educated hopes and guesses. Unfortunately, it looks like we may not get the desired clarity on Ballage. Only hazy information available. He remained limited today with a calf and an ankle, and looks like a gametime decision. Seems strange though, since he finished the game last week. The other wildcard is still Ekeler. The coach said today that he "has a chance" to be activated off IR and play Sunday. Doesn't logically seem likely....but who the heck knows. A real cluster, for sure. https://dknation.draftkings.com/2020/11/27/21722974/kalen-ballage-injury-update-game-status-week-12-chargers-vs-bills-fantasy-football-austin-ekeler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ive done well with a couple of your recommendations this year when facing injuries and byes/covid issues. your posts are gounded in logic (which I like) yes, some have missed but a number have come up aces. for a waiiver wire scrub, if you are getting more than 6 or 7 fantasy points thats usually all you can ask. if you do better you get an A+ because generally waiver wire scrubs dont give much more than 5 points most of the time and often they give less. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stonewall 647 Posted November 28, 2020 Gotta fade Ballage now, even if he plays. Ekeler activated from IR. Don't know how much he'll play, but too much risk now. Great news for Ekeler owners moving forward, though....that combo with Herbert could be gold. https://www.si.com/nfl/chargers/news/chargers-activate-rb-austin-ekeler-for-sundays-game-versus-bills Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
