I don’t mind the thinking, but in saying that I find it difficult to see scenarios that repeat themselves where both the RB1 & RB2 for said teams both put up big numbers in the same game week after week. We’ve seen before it can happen no doubt in certain games/situations against a poor run D etc, but I couldn’t see myself playing two from the same team for the above reason. Outside of Najee I’m not sure any other back will get sufficient carries/snaps either. Ettiene, Williams, Carter, Sermon are all decent backs in there own right, but none are the lone back….What do we think about choosing a RB1 and RB2 from the same team? Ive currently got Zeke and Pollard so ive got good cover if injury strikes. That said, im not sure if it is the best option when i could be using that position to get another rookie RB. Apart from N.Harris (who ive got) im not entirely certain about other rookies being first choice RB at their club
I think the main benefit would be if an injury occurs to the running back from the same team in your starting team but then again playing for an injury probably isnt the best strategy. I dont mind Pollard but i probably wouldnt strongly consider him if it wasnt for Zeke being locked into my team. Like you said (with the possible exception of Cleveland) 2 RBs for the same team scoring well week after week is pretty rare.
Big wraps on Moore. Chase has had a rough camp from all reports with lots of drops and done the same on 3 targets last pre season game. Remember, he did have last year away from football opting out in the Covid season so there may be rust but he was by far and away the best Receiver in College the year prior (Including his LSU teammate Jefferson-Who lit up the league last season in his rookie year)
I may go Devonta Smith instead of Chase then. They seem to be the best options in terms of job security but hard to tell whether they will be the best scorers in that 'rookie' price range. The big ? mark with my team is whether i go with N.Harris on my field or not. If i want him on field i can get an extra gun WR but as discussed backup options at RB seem to be thin. Sermon and Carter are on my bench currently as i had a change of heart and thought Najee will score enough to be starting. That said, it feels like im running the guantlet a bit.
Unsure on how Najee could score. On one hand he should get plenty of touches to have the chance to score well but behind that O Line I could see him finishing games with 20 carries for 45 yards type of thing. I like Smith, I think he could well be Hurts’ main target for the Eagles. The duo were team mates at Alabama too so there is a connection already
Was right on my radar too, but currently have Ekeler in what would've been his spot. I wonder if Gus Edwards is potentially value then? I suppose first we need clarity on how significant this injury actually is
Edwards will become significantly more appealing if Dobbins misses any length of time throughout the year. Ravens love to pound the rock, it’s their identity. That won’t change with Dobbins out, simply a case of next man up (And Gus is more than capable of doing so)Was right on my radar too, but currently have Ekeler in what would've been his spot.

You're right though, they are dropping like flies!
Obviously its terrible news for the Ravens and Dobbins but ill be interested to see how it impacts their offence and the fantasy ramifications. It seems like Edwards will be their first choice RB now but im also keen to see who else is affected. I dont know anything about the other options other than the fact they are super cheap so there might be value there unless options 2,3 even 4 share backup duties.
Yes. 2 are fine but i think you need a gun QB
That is a high projection! It looks good but the quality of your team also depends on your bench although it looks like you have good WR bench players. Who would be your first choice captain? Kamara or Brady?
Gibson & Zeke
Cheers. I actually dont mind my team starting with all of CMC/Cook/Kamara/Zeke. I can still get Mahomes/Kelce/Hill and im still only starting 4 'rookies' in Wilson/Waddle/D.Smith/Pitts. I have gone a little cold on Tua given i dont think he will be a keeper and grabbing 2 rookie QBs seems like a good way to make $. I only have 2 gun WRs but i dont really view any others as must-haves. I even still have Edwards/Najee on my RB bench.
Both very solid teams. Think I prefer team 1, really like a lot of those picks, very nice
