So throughout the offseason, and even as recent as week 2, Pete Carol and the "hawks repeatedly announced that when healthy, Thomas Rawls would be their starter. Has anyone seen or heard anything that has the Seahawks leadership expressing anything different?I know Christine Michael has been spectacular, but if their mind is already made up then that's that. Rawls was just dropped in a 12 team 0.5 ppr league and RB is my weakness. How much FAAB do I use on him?

You may not need to use a lot of FAAB for Rawls, so I would probably bid something in the 8-10% range. I think he's worth stashing in case something good happens there, but it's certainly alarming to see Michael do so well without him. The coaching staff hasn't explicitly said anything to the effect, but if Michael keeps playing well, it's hard to imagine they'll hand a full time role back to Rawls.

I like both Cooks and Matthews, so I get the dilemma. We have Cooks higher on our ROS rankings, so that's the way I'd steer you, but I'm begrudgingly starting to believe in that Philly offense, with Matthews as the star. I might just hold on to him instead of guessing which NO WR will get the most looks each week.

Also, I think I can get Cooks for J.Mathews straight up due to yahoo having Mathews projected quite a few more points (22 more catches, same yardage, same tds) rest of season and Cooks' dud game. 4for4 has Cooks getting more yardage and more tds so I'm thinking about going for it. But to be honest, I'm not sure that Snead ISN'T the Saints' most complete wr. And with how great Wence has looked in Philly, maybe it's not crazy to think that J.Mathews explodes this season.
