Ray_T 609 Posted September 10, 2021 Alright guys, This is designed to be a post for recommends for RB's on the wire in your respective leagues. if there are guys on the wire in your league who you feel shouldnt be, post the name here. I will list a few along with the new Baltimore signings Let us know who you think is the best pickup. if the best pickup isnt listed, post here. Ravens signings Latavius Murray Devonta Freeman Bell - picked up in all my leagues, so likely not an option at this time for most of you. David Johnson-Texans Marlon Mack-indy Ty Johnson-Jets James White Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Mark Ingram II) I was about to post the correction to add him. You think hes gonna start? either way.... tough team. RB's on a team some people are predicting may finish last is a tall order for fantasy numbers. even if starting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RB's on a team some people are predicting may finish last is a tall order for fantasy numbers. even if starting. ok. I looked around FFtoday has Lindsay as the starter. houstontexans.com has Ingram and Lindsay listed as starting RB's David Johnson as a second string ESPN has Ingram as starter. I know I saw one earlier that had David Johnson as starter, but now cant find it. but most seem to like Ingram or Lindsay. If its Ingram, the price is right. ourlads also lists ingram as the starter.

The Texans' head coach, David Culley, was Baltimore's assistant head coach a couple of years ago when Ingram amassed 1,265 yards from scrimmage (26 receptions) and 15 TDs. I guess he thinks there's still tread on the tires. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ingram will get the early down and goalline work, with Johnson mixing in to provide relief. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess he thinks there's still tread on the tires. that is a nice connection. in theory if the system hasnt changed all that much, Ingram could learn that playbook really quick. (which may be the reason he was brought in) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_T 609 Posted September 10, 2021 I meant if hes running the same or similar system as he did in Baltimore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
polecatt 405 Posted September 10, 2021 Most of these guys are available, and for good reason. If you're having to rely on one of these guys too much, you're in trouble Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I personally am hoping to find an adequate backup as I'm thin at RB in one of my leagues. but some here had starting RB's that have gone down to injury already. they need help. Moreso than I do.

DrG 94 Posted September 10, 2021 The attrition rate might be higher this year shorter preseason and longer season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your vets don't generally get a lot of exhibition action. its the guys on the roster bubble who get most of the playing time. so I doubt I'd buy that this affects the vets any more than normal.
