I'd start Hyde. The Redskins were tearing up the Rams on the ground.

I don't really know what's going on with McCoy(as I don't own him) but I don't really understand why Hyde is so underrated. I guess most people don't want to draft/have him since he's never finished a full season. Hoyer is struggling and he's the only bright spot on the team. I forget where, but so far out of the 2 games this season, he's averaging 5.0 yards per carry. McCoy is beastly in his own right, but as you said they did stop Zeke last week. The Bills don't have any good receivers either so i'm assuming they're going to stack the box(but who the fuck knows)

Any suggestions on which RB to pickup from this list?
This is my current RB situation:
I have an empty bench spot and my RB depth is turning out to be very shallow
the only worthwhile names are thompson and breida (due to hyde's injury history)
the rest you're pretty much gambling for the starters to go down
I think i'd also drop blial powell and take a lottery handcuff since the jets are a big dumpster fire while godzilla takes a giant shit on it
Thanks! Thompson it is.
I'm going to drop Bilal Powell and Mike Wallace if they don't get productive in the next week or two.

Is it too soon to bail on Tyler Eifert and pick up someone like Evan Engram or Eric Ebron?

he had a touchdown pass during the shitfest of a game they had on thursday night-he stepped out of bounds though.
Really up to you though. Personally I wouldn't

Should I even bother with Sammy Watkins anymore?
Maklershed

Shoulda picked up a rb or te off the waivers but went with JJ Nelson. Hopefully he continues to dominate. He's the #2 receiver in our league right now.

I didn't bother with the waiver wire this week, one dude nabbed Witten and Siemian because they ain't performing there
I lost Week 1 because Brees is a douche and threw to Ingram three times in a row and Week 2 because Jordy got hurt
PRAAAAAAAAAY TO THE SUN GOD

Didn't wanna sign Hollywood Higgins Bronson.. sad.
Just something to think about: Case Keenum has beaten the Bucs twice in recent years with the Rams. Yes the Bucs defense is better now but it's in Minnesota and he has much better weapons around.
I wouldn't drop him yet in the hopes he can develop some chemistry with Goff, but I am not starting him with any confidence either.
Did the same. Last time Eli played in Philly he threw three ints.

ended up with jason witten (since graham's hurt and the hawks look like dog shit)
Someone ended up dropping Cousins but he's looked really bad the last couple of weeks (first 2 games + preseason)
hopefully no one picks him up since I figured to stick with road big ben(barf) this week

I want to drop Cousins so bad and pick up somebody else
I have 2 questionable TEs right now in Eifert and Graham. Waiting on their statuses to see if I need to pickup another or drop one. Picked up Cutler vs the jets to play over Mariota vs Seahawks while I hold Luck for another couple of weeks to see how that might pan out.
Decided to drop Cardinals for Ravens because they were available, I like to tinker, and I think their offense will cause the D problems for a while.
1-1 with the 2nd lowest scoring in the league so far

What does everyone think of this trade for me?
Trade McCoy for Jordy Nelson and Jordan Howard
I'm buying low on two guys who are banged up, but as long as the injuries aren't long-term, they should be solid the rest of the way. Here is the rest of my roster (we start 2 RB/2 WR/1 FLEX with Standard scoring):
RB: McCoy, Gurley, Buck Allen, Tarik Cohen, Blount, Powell, C. Johnson
WR: Hilton, Crabtree, Garcon

I know the Giants backfield is awful but as a Perkins owner, would Darkwa be the better RB to have on my bench at this point? Vereen is taken and the FA available is close to nothing right now.

Thank you.
Eagles are available on waivers and will start them instead of Bucs.
TE situation: Dropped Clay and picked up Witten but still eye on Hunter Henry.
A ESPN Writer who covers the Giants thinks this could be the week Darkwa is set for more touches. This was in regards to McAdoo's comments about changing up the offense and possibly giving up playcalling duties. Could be worth the gamble, don't think you are risking much as their run game is atrocious.

Guys im not off to a good start in my league, need some advice.
Should i keep using Russell Wilson, or bring Alex Smith off the bench this week?

Man, DJ going down and Andy Dalton as qb2 with an apparently awful o-line has basically tanked my season. I'm now running cutler out there as qb2 and Hyde and jacquizz as my rbs. I also lost Allen Robinson (honestly probably not that huge of a loss), so I have Cooper, Tate, Sanu, Rashard Higgins, and Kearse for WRs. Jimmy Graham is also doing nothing so I picked up hunter Henry off waivers.
Gonna be a long season.

Monitor Murray.
Murray is day to day with that Hammy and Henry could take over the job. I would go with the hot hand: Thompson.

I'm scared to go with Matt Ryan on the road against the Lions. Career wise, he's been subpar on the road, even with a great offense. My only other option is Ben at Chicago, but Ben is pretty subpar on the road as well. I'm thinking about picking up Alex Smith and starting him against the Chargers in LA. Thoughts?

With my luck I'll drop Perkins for Darkwa and Perkins will wind up with 80yds and a TD this week lol
While it is a road game, it is in a Dome, which isn't the same thing as a Dome QB going on the road to an outdoor stadium
sometimes i game

I'm leading my league undefeated with the most points but have a tougher matchup this week where every point counts.
I dropped Packers defense for Eagles. I think Eagles looked powerful vs Kareem and can continue to hold against damage, but I'm not super passionate about my options (Packers / Steelers / Eagles). Otherwise everyone got everyone I wanted on waiver wire -_-

i think i would be frustrated playing in a 2 te league, especially this year when most of the "studs" are underperforming
but yeah you should win easily unless the fantasy gods hate you

Yo Tom Nook, Jaquizz Rodgers or Jamison Crowder?
They both have bad matchups this week. My only other options is Anderson(Jets) or Hogan. And hogan is sorta hurt

Should I have 3 RBs playing (One in my FLEX)? The RBs being Shady, CJ Anderson, and Dalvin Cook.
Or.
2 RBs (who should they be?) and a WR in Flex? Either Terrele Pryor and start Devante Parker, or Devante Parker and start Terrele Pryor? I have Doug Baldwin on lock. I believe in him even though their o is ass.

I go with Rodgers.
Rodgers is the Bucs #1 RB; Martin is not back yet. I believe Crowder is #3 after Reed and Pryor.

Play all the rbs as they are all basically receivers too with a higher floor for volume. Kicking myself for not drafting cook thinking murray would be a bigger factor given his contract.

Is jeremy hill worth a roster spot?
You'd think he'd vulture some tds...
But that'd mean the Bengals were in a scoring position. Lol
