Ameer Abdullah to IR

Theo Riddick's value goes waaaay up

and I have Sims

Bucs' Doug Martin (hamstring) set to miss three weeks

I kind of regret even adding Artis-Payne an hour ago didn't really seem all that necessary.

 

[nick.]

I have Sims, too. TB's schedule over the next 3 weeks is brutal tho :x :x

I already have Riddick but added Dwayne Washington anyway. Gonna keep both until one takes hold of the lead role.

 

[steebie j]

I'm picking up Washington with this news and stashing him

Think I should look elsewhere over Jameis?

 

[stick]

Yeah definitely add Dwayne Washington. It's not out of the question that he becomes an every-week fantasy starter. 6'1", 4.4 forty. I can see him getting the bulk of the team's rushes and all goal line/inside the 10 yard line carries. Riddick's role could just stay neutral as a pass game specialist.

Zach Zenner also someone to keep an eye on.

 

[gtmorgan23]

That Doug Martin injury kind of stinks however, he gets to rest during the worst part of their schedule.

 

[bishopstrongbow]

Just picked up Dwayne Washington with Abdullah being out for the year.

+1 ppr squad looking like

Dwayne Washington and Sims just chilling on my bench

Dwayne Washington and Sims just chilling on my bench

Do I want to start Jameis this weekend/next few weeks or find another QB other than Alex Smith on my bench?

 

[rc103dc]

I currently have Eddie Lacy and Spencer Ware as my RB 1 and 2, with Sproles, Artis-Payne, and Dwayne Washington on my bench. I also have Jonathan Stewart, but clearly he's not in this week. Do I make any changes to my starters?

I also have AB and Alshon as my WR1 and 2, with Baldwin as my Flex. I have Eddie Royal on my bench. Thinking of starting Royal instead of Baldwin, since he's been more consistent, but I'm always weary of starting two people from the same team. Baldwin has been hurting lately, and I don't know if he does anything against SF.

Thanks!

Fuller vs NE 

Jones vs GB

who should I go with?

 

[steebie j]

Is it crazy to use my #1 waiver wire on Dolphins defense or should I get Dwayne Washington. I'm torn.

 

[steebie j]

Fuller vs NE 

Jones vs GB

I would go with Marv Jones

 

[datkidfiasco]

Latavious Murray for Elliot ? I would get Elliot

I would start him this weekend but I wouldn't feel comfortable starting him vs the Broncos and Panthers the next two after that. Thankfully the Broncos game is in Tampa and the Panthers game is on MNF and I'm sure Jameis will be hungry to show out during that game....but I still would look for a safer option against those two defenses

Dwayne Washington...you could have a starting RB for the rest of the year or the crappy Dolphins defense that you'd only use for this week cause they're playing the Browns

 

[stick]

Dwayne Washington is probably a better add than any other RB this week. If Abdullah was put on IR yesterday he would've been the #1 waiver target in a lot of leagues.

But do you see him as potential starter material? I have Lacy and Ware starting, and Baldwin at flex, with Washington on my bench. I'm willing to risk it, but I'm still unsure.

Yes. He was probably the Lions single best player in preseason. He's 6'1 230 and runs a 4.4...watch his college highlights on YouTube. I'm not saying he's the next David Johnson but he really reminds me of him

 

[jonwin]

^ so if given the chance, add Dwayne Washington over Kenyan Drake as a bench stash?

Both are free in my one league right now.

 

[Trey Bantz]

I picked up Kenyan Drake, Dwyane Washington, and Dennis Pitta in most of my leagues today.

 

[remi23]

Hey what's going on Guys. I'm seriously considering trading Gurley but I'm trying to gage what type of Offer i should to put together, or should i just hold on tight? Here are WR's and RB's

WR-Devante Parker, Allen Hurns,Jeremy Maclin,Brandon Marshall,Brandin Cooks
RB-Gurley,Mccoy,D-Angelo Williams, Charles Sims, Jay Ajayi,Deandre Washington, Chris Ivory

12 man standard league btw.

Obviously there are question marks regarding Washington, but starting him this week over either of those guys wouldn't necessarily be a bad move. Lacy looks like the not good Lacy we've grown accustomed to, and Charles might be back this week so who knows what Ware's workload is gonna be like.

Check out this article/chart regarding NFL combine drills that matter when it comes to RB production in the league.

Here are Washington's numbers:
4.44s forty-yard dash
73in tall
127in broad jump
6.85s 3 cone drill

http://rotoviz.com/2016/02/which-measurables-really-matter-for-running-backs/

Follow his flow and he ends up at the bottom right node, which shows that his measurables put him in the category of RBs with the highest likelihood of success in the NFL.

^ so if given the chance, add Dwayne Washington over Kenyan Drake as a bench stash?

Absolutely. Washington has rest-of-season value while Foster looks like he'll only miss 1 week. He may even play this week.

Should I trade Matt Stafford for Jeremy Maclin in a .5 PPR league? My other QB is Matt Ryan

I'm leaning yes.
