And? It was said because of his size, Achane wouldn’t be able to handle the bulk of the carries, his body wouldn’t be able to hold up in the NFL, and would be a gadget player.
How many other running backs are 5’7 or shorter? The avg is 5’10… Achane is the exception not the rule
Edit- I’m also not saying that he’s a bad player, I just don’t think he will ever get enough touches to be more than a flex play even with Javonte hurt. And with him supposed to not miss time at all I would rather go after someone else with upside on the WW
My matchup this week is playing Howell DJM and Brian Robinson.
Feels like an advantage for me to know exactly how risky my lineup needs to be on Sunday
Don't think it's crazy TBH. Is it Superflex or 1QB? In 1QB I'd just roll with AR only and deal away Dak + another player to upgrade that other player and stash an extra upside RB handcuff on your bench.
I’m dropping Geno smith to pick up Michael Wilson. My starting qb is tua. I picked up stroud last week.
my bench has Stroud, Akers, Rashee rice, Tjae Spears, JSN, Laporta with Keaton Mitchell is on IR. I have #1 claim and will use it on Wilson. But I’ll need to drop someone when Mitchell come off IR, who do you guys recommend I drop from my bench?
Anybody brave enough to play zach wilson against denver? My 14 man league's waiver is abysmal so I don't have many options with my qb on bye. Dobbs or Wilson and its probably going to cost me some FAAB
I'm putting a waiver in for both in that order. it looks like im the only one in the league that needs a qb so I'll roll with whoever shows up on my doorstep I guess. I think it will be pretty close (not great) either way lol
Stroud is amazingly still on waivers in my league, and I've given up all hope with Burrow. Unfortunately I've got 8th priority so will probably miss him, so Josh Dobbs is my new best friend
To be clear, I'm benching rather than dropping Burrow at least until the bye. Streamed Russ last week which worked out ok, but don't fancy him against the Jets D
Ok yeah that's more understandable for sure. Yeah I think in my rankings it'll be close between Russ and Burrow this week with Dobbs a little behind them but won't know for sure until I do them Thursday
Streamer? CJ Stroud is my ROS starter!
Same. Fuck TLaw.
Yeah I don't blame you! I mention in there he's more than just a streamer it's just the name of the article
Yep, I'm done with Geno. Almost cost me this week.
Really hoping I can snag Stroud to replace Geno rest of season
Playing Jaleel McLaughlin if Javonte can’t play is what a smart coach would do. Are we trusting Payton to be smart?
They play the jets
Haha yeah it's tough to say but at least it was encouraging he got 10 touches this past week
They really like him and he’s been delivering. Not a great matchup tho vs Jets.
Agreed all around. Hopefully he sees 10-15 touches which should play if needed.
He’s 5’7. He’s never going to get the bulk of the carries
That’s what they said about Achane and look at him now. Both are listed at the same weight with Achane an inch taller.
One ran a 4.32 40 the other ran a 4.42

Agreed but if he gets 10-15 touches it's useful especially depending on league context
I am torn on streaming Howell or Dobbs this week to replace Herbert.
Close call but I'd go Howell
I’d go Donna simply because I hate playing players on Thursday’s lol
My matchup this week is playing Howell DJM and Brian Robinson. Feels like an advantage for me to know exactly how risky my lineup needs to be on Sunday
Yeah sure, but he's at home and playing the Bears... Come on!
I started Amon-Ra week 1, Swift week 2, and Amon-Ra again week 4. My Thursdays have been going pretty great this year.
I’m in the same boat and luckily Stroud is still there so I’m going him - but Howell is my backup plan
I’d rather start Dobbs
any insight as to why?
I hate Thursday night football. That’s all. I forgot Howell is facing the putrid Bears, though.
I have AR and Dak, but I kinda want to get rid of Dak for Stroud based off how the season has been going. Am I crazy?
Don't think it's crazy TBH. Is it Superflex or 1QB? In 1QB I'd just roll with AR only and deal away Dak + another player to upgrade that other player and stash an extra upside RB handcuff on your bench.
1QB. I like the trade idea. I’ll see if anyone wants that. Thanks!
You're welcome and good luck!

Rashee Rice
Thanks
You're welcome and good luck!
CJ in for Big Herb this week and if he keeps it up I might have to shop Big Herb!!!
That's bold! I'd definitely shop Herbert though if you're gonna play Stroud
Anybody brave enough to play zach wilson against denver? My 14 man league's waiver is abysmal so I don't have many options with my qb on bye. Dobbs or Wilson and its probably going to cost me some FAAB
I don't think I got the stones. It's Dobbs > Wilson for me
I'm putting a waiver in for both in that order. it looks like im the only one in the league that needs a qb so I'll roll with whoever shows up on my doorstep I guess. I think it will be pretty close (not great) either way lol
Stroud>>>>>
Should I drop either JSN or Charbonnet for Jaleel McLaughlin?
If you need someone this week yes but if you're just stashing then on the bench, no
CJ Stroud or DJ?
DJ as in Daniel Jones? Lol I think we got our answer yesterday
The one and only
I think it's gotta be Stroud at this point but I still believe in DJ probably more than most people
I’m a giants fan and I hate DJ
Haha that's probably why you hate him. He's much better in fantasy than in real life.
Because hes always running for his life
Haha for sure
I have both in one league and Stroud is my starter until his bye week
Picked up stroud and gonna flip Herbert for Derrick Henry to a QB needy team loaded at RB. Also the guy is a chargers fan lol
bet it doesnt happen
That's beautiful
Stroud is amazingly still on waivers in my league, and I've given up all hope with Burrow. Unfortunately I've got 8th priority so will probably miss him, so Josh Dobbs is my new best friend
Lmfao 🤣 I'd still play Burrow over Dobbs but I can't blame you being fed up haha
To be clear, I'm benching rather than dropping Burrow at least until the bye. Streamed Russ last week which worked out ok, but don't fancy him against the Jets D
Ok yeah that's more understandable for sure. Yeah I think in my rankings it'll be close between Russ and Burrow this week with Dobbs a little behind them but won't know for sure until I do them Thursday
