Baltimore Running Back ROS

[mccnavy76 7]

Do you think Edwards is done and Mitchell is Ravens best back to own ROS?

Gus has 20+ point games in 4 of the last 6 weeks. I’d guess that he won’t sustain high-end production like that for r.o.s., simply based off the Ravens schedule. <— it aint good for rb’s. The presence of Keaton (and Hill too) adds to the concern. I would not say he is ‘done’ by any means; he may still be low-rb2/rb3/flex worthy, but the rb1 weeks are probably gone.

Mitchell is in the same boat as far as schedule. He sure is fun to watch and could spike a few games, but it doesn’t seem like he will win a ton of running volume with Gus & Justice in the mix. I am *hoping* he will be a nice flex option moving forward, and want to roster him, but wonder if he will be a ‘boom/bust’ type of play from week to week.

Edwards gets the rushing tds that Jackson passes up, I’ll keep Edwards.

Would you drop Aaron jones for Mitchell to roster ros in ppr?

I would not drop Aaron Jones unless absolutely desperate.

Would you hold Mitchell instead of Spears in ppr if you also had Henry?

[Lake209 34]

Much depends on you roster & depth-by-position. In a vacuum of Mitchell vs. Spears - I’d rather roster Mitchell, on the thought that he more play/flex worthy than Spears in most weeks.  Alternatively, and by way of anecdote: i have Bijan & Allgier. I’ve never started Allgier (& never will) but i will never drop him either. ATL has a great playoff schedule for rb’s, and should Bijan get hurt, Allgier could keep me in the hunt to win a ff championship. Allgier is my only handcuff…i like to roster 1 such player on my bench, usually behind my best-of-best talent. (Got Pacheco & Breece too, and am uninterested in McKinnon/Cook).  Spears is extremely talented, and like ATL, the Titans have a grear playoff run for rb.  I would probably be hesitant to drop him.  Definitely would change my mind if little/no rb-depth and/or if Mitchell is in position to be a league-winner (which seems unlikely).  Good luck w/your decision.

Thank you very much for your time and attention. 

RBs: Ekeler, A. Jones, Henry, Monty, Charbonnet, Moss, Spears

WRs: K. Allen, D. Moore, Kirk, Hopkins

TEs: McBride and Taysom

QBs: Stroud and Murray

I dropped G. Davis and Rice before their big games last week haha... oh well. I wasn't starting them.

[Lake209 34]

Nice, especially so w/Moss, given the Taylor injury. Looks solid, man. I’d probably keep Spears; you may never play him but (…just like with Moss/Taylor), you have a league winner is Spears if Henry goes out.  Others may disagree, but Mitchell, although he may have spikes w/big play ability (which, is his draw for rostering), does not seem likely to rise past rb3 level. Bad schedule + 3 ravens rbs make him a great flex, nothing more.

And: in dropping Davis and Rice (esp Davis), you have planted landmines for other managers to pick up. Hopefully, your playoff opponents will start these players against you, resulting in the 0-7 point floor for both these guys.  Genius move; you are the best ff manager ever. Good luck winning first place.
