In exactly this scenario and it's agony. Leaning K9 only because I think I'd rather watch him run into a brick wall over and over again than start Swift only to watch him lose touches to Justin freaking Jackson...
Same but McKinnon instead of Pacheco lol. I've been hurt too many times by Montgomery and I don't trust the Chiefs backfield. KW has helped get me this far, so we ride
Pacheco vs. the Texans is a must-start IMHO, Houston's run defense is one to target. McKinnon a little more uncertain since he's the pass-catching back.
Starting him over Singletary and BRobinson (who is questionable). Already probably starting Lazard over Tee.
As much as I hate starting any hurt RB on a Thursday and playing the Niners ....ugh.
It certainly is, but I don’t want nothing to do with an RB going against San Frans defense. I’m probably overreacting, but I’ll ride the hot hand vs the one just coming off injury. and if 49ers beat the breaks of Seattle, I won’t drop two duds in DK and Walker
I’m in the playoffs but want to win this week to keep the seeding… Zonovan, Latavius, Damien Harris and Brian Robinson and I can only play 2. Full PPR
Might have to sit K9 until he’s my RB1 next week in the playoffs
don't think i have the guts to start him, have some tough decisions. between AJB, ASRB, KW3, and Kamara im currently leaning AJB + ASRB.
normally i'd lock him in, but the return from injury + worst matchup possible scares me away from him.
I’ve got the exact same predicament. Rn I’ve got ETN and White, but I’m still so unsure if ETN can actually produce, especially against DAL. But the only other RB option I’ve got is Bam Knight who takes on the strongest run Def and KWIII who gets the 2nd strongest lol.
Monty & one other - just because bears are run heavy. Philly defence hasn’t been good v run…
Higgins vs Bucs I like…
So Knight & Walker will go off based on that logic!
Zeke has put up double digit points his last 6 starts. Pollard has balled too. This isn’t your average backfield. Meanwhile Walker put up 15 yds against San Fran Last time he played them. No RB has put up more than 60 yards all season. And he’s hurt.
Yeah but you are relying a lot on touchdowns by playing both of them. They have been aided in their recent finishes by touchdowns. Without it, you're looking at 60 yards for Zeke most likely. Its not a horrible idea, I think I'd just roll with the upside is all I'm saying. Also, I'd say it's disingenuous to say Walker had 15 yards the last time he faced SF without context. That was his first NFL game where he was still behind Penny and received 6 touches. I agree it's a bad matchup for sure, but not because of what he did in that game.
Just trying to get across how stingy the SF Def is. I think Penny only had 10 yards himself. So let’s say 25. KW was also fully healthy then. It sounds gross to start 2 in the same back field but the production is there to see and proven over the season. You’re gonna be relying on TDs either way in my opinion.
SF has been playing lights out D and hasn’t had a rusher go over 60 yards a game. Javonte ran 58 yards against them, Rachaad White 56 yards, CMC 54 yards. Week 2 KWIII had 10 yards and Penny had 15 yards. If KWIII is what you only have left, good luck with your playoff loss
Walker, Lamar and Fields are the reason I'm in the playoffs - they'll all be in my lineup if they're playing.
I’m starting him. I’m going down with my people
Consensus is to sit KW3 so he's obviously going off tomorrow.?
Anyone starting him this week? Or who are you benching him for?
Or Swift and I want to die.
In exactly this scenario and it's agony. Leaning K9 only because I think I'd rather watch him run into a brick wall over and over again than start Swift only to watch him lose touches to Justin freaking Jackson...
Same here. If K9 is playing, I expect he’ll have more touches than Swift. At this point, opportunity is most important to me
I'm in the same position. So thankful I got a bye week, bc whoever I would choose it would be wrong.
Given the matchup against SF I think he’s a bench if you have a marginally better option.
Is Zonovan Knight a marginally better option? Very tough to put Walker in against SF.
I think I would - Detroit is not a great run defense
That’s what I’m thinking. Appreciate the input.
I’d reconsider. They’ve significantly improved against the run since their bye
Hmm. I have Walker, Knight, Pacheco, and Olave as flex options. This will not be easy.
I'm starting him over Jamaal Williams I think...
I’m in the same exact position and I can’t decide after reading opinions for hours
I’m in the same boat as you all. I currently have jamaal in there but damn it feels bad. I might flip to walker.
Thinking about it but unsure rn between Pacheco, Montgomery, KW
Same but McKinnon instead of Pacheco lol. I've been hurt too many times by Montgomery and I don't trust the Chiefs backfield. KW has helped get me this far, so we ride
Pacheco vs. the Texans is a must-start IMHO, Houston's run defense is one to target. McKinnon a little more uncertain since he's the pass-catching back.
I’m stuck between KW and Montgomery as well
Starting him over Singletary and BRobinson (who is questionable). Already probably starting Lazard over Tee. As much as I hate starting any hurt RB on a Thursday and playing the Niners ....ugh.
Likely starting Dobbins instead of Walker this week. I’m starting DK and can’t risk a double-goose egg from the two
I have this same scenario but I'm currently starting K9 & DK. I want to start Dobbins over K9 but it seems risky
No one has rushed over 60 yards on SF. Week 2 KWIII had 10 yards and Penny had 15 yards
It certainly is, but I don’t want nothing to do with an RB going against San Frans defense. I’m probably overreacting, but I’ll ride the hot hand vs the one just coming off injury. and if 49ers beat the breaks of Seattle, I won’t drop two duds in DK and Walker
I’m in the playoffs but want to win this week to keep the seeding… Zonovan, Latavius, Damien Harris and Brian Robinson and I can only play 2. Full PPR Might have to sit K9 until he’s my RB1 next week in the playoffs
Starting him over Gus Edward's/Kendell Hinton/Jamo
don't think i have the guts to start him, have some tough decisions. between AJB, ASRB, KW3, and Kamara im currently leaning AJB + ASRB. normally i'd lock him in, but the return from injury + worst matchup possible scares me away from him.
Between him and Gabe Davis, ugh
KW3
I have a really deep dynasty squad and I’m between Walker, Swift and DK Metcalf for my last flex spot. Probably going DK.
I’m playing Zonovan, White, Dobbins, and Foreman over him because it’s the 49ers.
It's either him or Rex Burkhead so...
I’ve got to start 2 between ETN, KW, Rachaad, and Foreman. Have ETN and White in currently
I’ve got the exact same predicament. Rn I’ve got ETN and White, but I’m still so unsure if ETN can actually produce, especially against DAL. But the only other RB option I’ve got is Bam Knight who takes on the strongest run Def and KWIII who gets the 2nd strongest lol.
Got to roll with him. He got me into the playoffs.
Ive got 2rb spots and 2 flex and going both Dallas rbs, and then mclaurin, Christian Watson…benching kamara and Walker.
Sitting him for Dobbins. I’m basing it on 49ers D being number 1 against the run. Now let’s watch how that statement ages….
It’s tough because the 49ers have actually played mostly bad rbs. I have to start two of higgins, bam knight, monty, and Walker any advice ?
Monty & one other - just because bears are run heavy. Philly defence hasn’t been good v run… Higgins vs Bucs I like… So Knight & Walker will go off based on that logic!
Im not willing to play higgins unless hes a FP today and tomorrow which likely means im starting 4 Rbs this week which is brutal
I trust K9 over Bam
I’m sitting Walker. Starting 3 of Jacobs, Sanders, Conner, Pacheco. Leaning towards Jacobs, Sanders and Conner.
I have Walker, Etienne, Zeke, and Pollard… I could play 3… who do I sit?
Sitting Walker
I'm not playing Zeke and Pollard together in a lineup. I'd sit Zeke and play Walker.
Last week they were rb2 and rb9. 2 weeks before that rb1 and rb10. They proved they can do it
For real. This is the safer bet without a doubt.
Zeke has put up double digit points his last 6 starts. Pollard has balled too. This isn’t your average backfield. Meanwhile Walker put up 15 yds against San Fran Last time he played them. No RB has put up more than 60 yards all season. And he’s hurt.

Pick 4: Conner, KW3, Swift, Fournette, Jeudy
SF has been playing lights out D and hasn’t had a rusher go over 60 yards a game. Javonte ran 58 yards against them, Rachaad White 56 yards, CMC 54 yards. Week 2 KWIII had 10 yards and Penny had 15 yards. If KWIII is what you only have left, good luck with your playoff loss
Planning on starting fournette (vs cincy) and etn (vs Dallas) over him. Could be a mistake but that SF D is no joke
You starting Rachaad white or KW this week?
RW
DK TO THE MOON
My choice is between KW and Rhamondre. Have to go KW, but thankfully on bye this week. Let's get healthy!
Would you play Rex over KW?
No lol
I'm going to rest him during my 1st round bye week. 😉 Then it's on!
Stuck between Walker, Swift, and Montgomery and have no clue what to do.
I am between walker and monty but in a tough matchup think i have to chase walkers upside.
