I have Martin, sitting and waiting for his return, Riddick, thank god is returning this weekend, Duke, only worthy of a flex spot, maybe. Thompson, who looks like the RB to own with Jones' fumble issues and injury. Even though a smaller back, they gave him the ball last week when Jones came out and not Kelly. He is a 3rd down back who they must trust with pass protection, but not sure if they are secure with him being bell cow. The 12 carries last week say yes???? And Howard, the most concerning situation. Will Langford return as starter and is he healthy enough to go this weekend??? Will this be a 2 headed committee or 3??? Should I pick up Kadeem or Langford now as insurance not knowing how it will go??? What is my play here??? Do I need to make a move or sit tight??? Do I drop Duke or one of my WRs either Brown with the sickle cell thing or Boldin??? I have Hopkins, Marshall, Maclin, Thomas, J. Brown and Boldin. League lineup is 1RB, 3WR, 1Flex. 3pts for 7rec. I also have Cousins and Smith who I play matchups with and Smith will go this weekend, and I have the Vikings and Pats Def that I also play matchups with. Vikes go this weekend. Can I let one of my QB's go or the Pats D and ride with the Vikings regardless of matchup?
I think Kelley is a priority stash option, but Thompson is definitely the guy I'd rather have active in my lineup, at least for the short term.
We still have Howard as the best Bears back to own, but I'm just as confused about that backfield as anyone. I ultimately think they end up going with the hot hand, with all three backs getting their chances. Would hold on to Howard for now there.
In a 3WR league, I'd probably hold on to your WRs and just start Duke for now, with Maclin/Thomas in the WR3/Flex spot.
I think you can let the Pats D go and ride with the Vikings. I might use that to grab Kelley. I would probably hang on to both QBs right now, unless options are plentiful on the wire each week, in which case I'm okay dropping Smith and just trying Cousins moving forward.
