    My RB situation is the worst it has been since I started playing Fantasy 15 years ago. I have Eckler, Conner (injured) and Akers (we thought would start but instead Brown took most of the workload). Then someone claimed Brown ahead of me. Someone claimed Snell ahead of me. I lost Week 1 but had the second most points in the league so my waiver spot was lower. I added Gore, Hines, Latavius Murray and Peyton Barber today out of desperation.

    I'll start Eckler, but which other 2 should I start?

    We have a deep, 2 QB, 200 player league.

    QB-1: Mahomes
    QB-2: Goff
    RB-1: Eckler
    RB-2
    RB/WR: DK Metcalf
    WR 1: Devante Adams
    WR 2: Robert Woods
    TE: Travis Kelce
    FLEX 1: Crowder
    FLEX 2:
    D: 49ers
    K: Gould
    Bench:
    Conner
    Darnold
    Perriman
    Akers
    Reagor
    Herndon
    Murray
    Hines
    Gore
    Barber

    Players I dropped were Patriots D because I hate them, Devonte Freeman, and Alshon Jeffrey. Moved Mims to IR.

    Yeah--plus you're playing Metcalf so Pats D conflicts with that. Gotta do more research to answer RB2 question. You need Flex 2 as well?

    Based on the fact you have Ekeler I'll assume its PPR. I think you have to go with Hines. I like Murray too for a couple reasons--1) its all hands on deck due to Thomas' injury and 2) Murray was a raider and probably has extra motivation.

    I don't like Gore due to SF defense--even goal-to-go can't see him scoring a rush TD.
    I like Barber as a RB but there's no need for you to go so risky.

    If I hear anything diff I'll let you know.

    He was scooped up already.

    Ended up going with Jeudy over those other two and worked out pretty well.

    Should I go Minshew tonight vs the Phins or keep riding Matty Ice vs Chicago on Sunday?

    Felt good about Minshew until I just saw that Chark is out for tonight, now I'm second-guessing.

    I don’t think chark being out should scare you off Minshew. They spread the ball around enough anyways.

    Minshew is a more risky move and if he has a bad game, if you're like me it bothers you until Sunday. If you go with Ryan you can relax until Sunday.

    In addition that comment by Dilfer about vet qb's having the upper hand without crowd noise needs to be considered. I'd go with Ryan.

    Ryan is a very accurate passer, 65% + completion rate 8 of the last 9 years (64% in the other year), has two of the best receivers in the game, a good OL. I'd go Ryan all the way.

    Julio is questionable supposedly--say he was out--would this change your opinion?

    I picked up Jeudy when Sutton IR'd. Did you watch the Pitt game? How did Driskall handle the Pitt D? I'm shocked by the box.

    i didn't catch the game. Gotta figure the negative game script this week vs Tampa is going to benefit Jeudy and he could easily see 10+ targets
