I think the appeal is the defense he is playing. I'm going to give him a chance over Pierre Thomas...we'll see

def worth a chance as ATL is awful vs the run. I think Pierre is a safer play overall with Ingram out.

If martin plays I will start Pierre...but as of right now reports are that Rainey will be the lone back tonight.

He could see a lot of passes

I think Martin is done

I'd Rainey goes down, Mike James will pop up

Lovie doesn't seem to like Martin

Minny should trade for him

Reports are it's not just martin's knee

They really like Rainey

I think mike James is hurt

Mike james and Charlie Sims are out. It's Rainey and Martin. Martin's knee is still an issue but i think it's they may like Rainey more at this point. We'll see how he handles it and can he sustain himself in the long term. I believe he went down last season with heavy a workload.

Start Rainey over:

J Bell?
Bradshaw?
Ellington?

I have these three starting this week, if Martin doesn't play would you start him over any of these?

I dropped Hyde for Rainey. This is a game where Rainey could make himself the bell cow and be an RB1 considering the volume he'll see with Martin sidelined

prob start him over ellington. bradshaw could show out vs a shite jax team, and bell could get + touches in a shootout with a gimpy reggie bush

I hope he busts out for a huge game so I can sell him and Montee Ball for LeSean McCoy

Yes, start him over all of them

Even if Martin plays, his knee is clearly an issue

Rainey will be the bell cow tonight regardless

That was my thinking. Ellington goin against San Fran doesn't sound promising. Especially after them holding Forte in check last week.

That would be a terrible move IMO

Lacy and Ball, people are selling low and I think they'll regret it

Rainey? If he has a huge game he could be an RB1 going forward based purely on volume

It's only been 2 weeks

I liked Rainey last year and he did well with his chances. Had him as a handcuff and I'm happy if he keeps getting the rock.

Had Donald Brown too but I dropped him after week 1 (frick)

We have 14 team auction draft and waivers so many teams benches are just pure handcuffs
