ameer is on IR so I took this guy once he cleared waivers

if gyno is talking about him, that can't be bad. not like i'm starting the guy or anything but I need options in case matt forte breaks down from the enormous load he's getting

Felix Jones had his moments. Wasn't supposed to be a total death wish on Washington

The trade itself has me on the fence..and then with my roster it has me even more on the fence.

I gotcha. I've just been in full panic mode trying to find an RB to help me get a win this week but one that also holds some value in the long term.

My thinking for Washington is that there are no question marks with Riddick. Riddick should be heavily involved in that offense and even though Washington will absorb a lot of Abdullah's workload Riddick is still the #1 RB to own in that offense.

Ajayi hasn't looked good at all, the coaching staff doesn't seemed pleased with him and his position seems like Drake's for the taking. If Drake hops Ajayi on the depth chart then he can hold value especially with Foster likely to always be nursing some sort of injury.

Howard's road seems even clearer with even less hurdles to jump for that starting spot being Langford has done nothing and Howard looking like the better back since the preseason and even with his limited use last game.

I'm seriously thinking about dropping Cousins and Moncrief and just picking up Howard and Drake and hoping one hits this week.

Same coach who benched Kyle Orton and went with Tebow a few games into the season

Tebow wasn't a rookie although he played like one

Pretty sure that was mostly an owners decision. The fan base was ACHING for him and they were like 0-4 even though Orton played well

Yeah, I think that was owner/fan pressure.
