Hey Guys
10 tm non ppr
2 qb 3 RB 3 WR start
My RB are forte, Murray, Martin
Bench: c. Michael, Hyde, L Dunbar
Starting 3 are fine... But is michael worth a spot? Always seem to see Turbin on the field , but hear michael is the #2??
Also, have Wallace and cooks on bench for WR any down side in having 2 of the same type of player as a backup, (go route all or nothing guys)
Thanks
I agree with Christiansoldier's sentiments. I think it becomes a crowded backfield if Lynch goes down with both players getting work. Turbin has outplayed Michael in limited action, but they are two different types of runners, so I see them sharing the workload in that event.
I actually think Mike Wallace is ideally suited for the new offense that's been installed and I think he'll become a little more than a one trick pony this year. Also, Cooks will probably get some end arounds this year and bubble screens, which should help. He was a go-to target in college, and has a chance to work more than go routes out of the slot. I don't know that they'll be "the same type" of players in the way that concerns you. I like the two of them as depth guys.
Die-hard 'Hawks fan here. My hunch is that if Lynch goes down with an injury, they'll use more of a committee approach to the running game here in Seattle than people might think. I'd say technically, yes, C.Michael is the #2 guy, but I think it would be like a 65/35, or even a 60/40 split between him and Turbin. I wouldn't roster either guy unless I was a Lynch owner and had nothing better to use the roster spot on.
//Also, have Wallace and cooks on bench for WR any down side in having 2 of the same type of player as a backup, (go route all or nothing guys)// Yes, if they are your bench guys, they're exactly the kind of guys you want. High upside, potential huge games. For one thing, a couple huge games in a row can turn either one into good trade bait. Unless you need the roster spot for something imperative, hold onto both for now.
