I am thinking about adding J. McKinnon to my roster after an impressive first game. albiet it was VS Atlanta's bad defense but the Packers are not far behind in that category .McKinnon could be a sneaky start Thursday. I also like Crowell this week VS Tenn. and not sure about Lacy yet nor Ellington in Denver. I have C. Jordan, N Paul as TE was considering dropping Paul and adding either McKinnon or T. Kelce to carry another TE as I am not sure I can trust Jordan's health ROS plus Kelce may be the next Jordan. I have Edelman, A. Jeffery, A. Brown and just added M. Jones. Thinking of dropping Edelman and adding McKinnon to go with Ellington, Lacy, Crowell and Morris. That leaves me with only Brown (true stud WR) and Jeffery VS Carolina this week. Marshall may sit this one out and Carolina is smarting from two overwhelming losses. M. Jones is not in game shape and Brandon Niles doesn't rust Cincy #2 WR's . Do I skip McKinnon and add some one like Randle, T. Williams, B. Quick , M. Colston, G Jennings, in place of Edelman who may be injured from last nights game. I see that Edelman is ranked 12th in the ROS rankings and I am not sure I agree. I expect he will have some decent games ahead but looking for injury, matchup bye week bench WR with some real upside. Basically Brown is matchup proof with Ben at the helm.
First off, I'd definitely drop Paul for Kelce as Cameron insurance.
Second, I think McKinnon is a lot like Crowell. He's a guy that'll probably split carries here on out, but has some upside. McKinnon probably more of a big play threat, Crowell probably more likely to score. I kind of see those guys as a wash.
I think Edelman is a good player who had a bad game and shouldn't be dropped. I think I'd hang on to him.
It's very true I don't trust Cincy WR2's but McKinnon is probalby just as risky. I worry that McKinnon won't get the touches or the long runs against Green Bay like he did against the Falcons. I'd probably just stick with Lacy and Ellington.
