Snagged him in all leagues. Could be worth a stash.

I'm riddled with injuries at RB. I'm starting Dwayne Washington but wonder if I should pick up Drake and start him instead.

Jennings is also rumored out today per Roto. Vereen is the play of you are in PPR.

I'm out Peterson and JStew. Thinking of starting Drake over Gio (vs Denver) in the flex. Have CMike and Vereen going at RB

Really? Scooped up Vereen this week when I knew Rashad was banged up, but haven't heard that he may be out. Only that he will play with a cast. This would be great news as he could replace McKinnon as my RB2 this week, while I see how McKinnon looks.

Damn, just saw the blurb on Rotoworld. Vereen it is.

Would anyone start Drake over Hyde this week? Hyde playing @ Seattle.

Standard scoring.

I probably would, but would have tempered expectations. Seattle has been stout vs the run and I feel like their offense will come around this week at home, forcing SF into passing situations.

Miami should get up early and could possibly feed Drake, although there will be competition for carries. Maybe he comes out hot??

Even though Drake gets the "start" is Ajayi a good play this week? Drake can't handle a full load

Yeah I'm 50/50 on this. I hate to sit my studs, but I'm playing for upside this week (opponent has Blount).

Lost AP, Charles and is still hurt. Forte, Hyde, and Drake are my only viable options.

If it makes you feel any better, Hyde isn't a stud.

Certainly not. Unless we are only counting the first game of each season.

This does not make me feel better. Let me rephrase this, I hate sitting a RB that was drafted in the 3rd round.

Would you drop Foster for drake? I don't have enough room to carry both.

If I were you I'd probably keep Drake. I don't see Foster just ever being healthy anymore.

I was starting Hyde over Marshall in the Flex, but picked up Drake and am starting him instead.

starting doesnt mean much. I suspect he'll split carries with Ajayi unless Drake runs really well early in the game

Do i go with Washington or drake today. I can only have one on my roster. They're a fill in as I have bell, Rawls foster and ivory also on the roster.

That backfield is pretty crowded. Foster is the only one you'd want there because he'll probably get a heavy workload when he's in whereas the others will split carries when he isn't.
Now if Drake really shines early in the game today, he might separate himself from Ajayi.
