I don't think you go wrong with either guy. Depends on what you already have on your team. I likely would go Ford and then see if you can trade him. Watson has not looked good so Cleveland will want to keep running the ball. The injury to Conklin is concerning as it will impact their line. This next week is a tough match vs Tennessee who are really tough against the run.

But I do like Collins for rest of season. He's the Alpha there, Stroud is capable and they'll be behind and throwing a lot.

Also sounds like Hunt will be signing in Cleveland so that changes things for Ford.

I wonder how much though? Like this week he definitely gets the starting/#1 role. Maybe it's wishful thinking on my part though.

The issue is that Jacobs has been trash so far this season while the other guys are at least producing something. Jacobs has a higher ceiling but I don't have much faith in LV.

Your Steelers defence isn't the run killer it used to be, especially with Heyward out. Giving up 193 yards per game rushing. So if there is a week where Jacob's should see more action.

Pacheco had 7 points last week in standard and 8 in PPR. He gets little passing game usage and KC has 15 and 16 rushing attempts in their first two games and they don't run at the goal line. If anything I see them trying more passing against the Bears who just had Baker Mayfield complete like 78% of his passes for 300 yards against them.

I play PPR and Jacobs outscored Pacheco in that last week, in half point PPR they'd be equal. So the guy who's been trash is outscoring the productive guy. But if you want 8 point ceiling...start Pacheco.

I think Hunt at most would go back to his third down pass catcher and goal line role he used to have. He's not young anymore either even if his milage is lower. Ford would be more of a first and second down role that Chubb had. As you say the next two weeks Hunt would be a bit limited. But as I said earlier the Titans are not a team you like starting a RB against unless he's a part of the passing game.

Someone just dropped Trevor Lawrence. I have to claim him and drop Jordan Love right? My other QB is Purdy after the Rogers injury. I doubt I get him, but I am the more QB needy team out there.

The one person ahead of me took Ford, so Collins is an easy pickup. I had Ford as the primary pickup and had Collins as backup. Hoping Collins can get some targets and RECs this week. He’s looked good with Stroud.

I think you HAVE to pick Lawrence if you have the chance (I know I’m late to replying to this). Lawrence has a lot more gamebreakers that could get you points. Hard to pass up Ridley/Engram/Kirk/Jones over what GB has at the moment, and Love still acclimating to the starting QB position.

[Sylvanfan]

Yeah I made a claim but was too far down the waiver order. Brock Purdey held the fort for me on Thursday and has another nice matchup in week 4 so I'll keep playing him.

Right now my question is start 2 of
Tyler Lockett
Zay Flowers
Christian Kirk
Drake London

I'm going Lockett and Flowers. London is talented but the Falcons passing game is not good. Kirk is sitting because I think Houston will be more vulnerable to Ridley on the outside this week and a slot guy like Kirk will see less action.

[Hockey]

No Zay Jones for Jags, and Flowers first read % dropped quite a bit with Andrews back. But between Flowers, Kirk and Lockett it's close. In my DFS lines I have exposure to Lockett and Kirk

[DropIt]

With Christan Watson, JK Dobbins, Ekeler all on my roster im hoping Kamara can save my season.

Im in tough this year

Achane is on my bench. Started Pacheco and Cook instead

Yeah but can't get too upset about that. Not many other people out there would've started Achane

Maybe in a 5 RB league... But I kinda have to start him over Cook now.

Akers should be available next week too.

[Tuco]

I had B.Hall playing with Achane on the bench. Pain.

Who expected Denver to give up 70. I'm seething that Tyreek had a mediocre day for the Dolphins. But maybe taking Keenan Allen with my third round pick was smarter than I thought.

Those Pacheco points are pretty useless on my bench today.

You and I are happy campers then.

My fantasy team put up 173 points. Had Mostert and K Allen with half of the points.

Thanks to that Tutu Atwell TD...I lose 154.1 to 152.9. My opponent had Mostert, and JaMarr Chase did me in. I need to fix my TE problem.

[Slava]

I had a pretty good week and had 205 points. My opponent had 305 though!
