Who would you start in your RB2 slot?

Gurley is the other starter

Start now? Bernard.

Who would I rather have down the line? My gut says Henry.

its my weakest position no doubt! Its a PPR league so I tend to always get a great RB and then start loading up on WRs

I could pickup Christine Michael or CJ Spiller off waivers

Bernard will have a lot of carries taken away by Jeremy Hill.

Gio won't be a bad RB2 in a PPR. He's in a contract year, he's gets some targets in the pass game, and has the explosiveness to break one open every now and then.

In my PPR league I've got

Matthews
Yeldon
Sims
Micheal

I'm starting Matthews and Yeldon but I might go sims and Yeldon

That's your entire RB core? May I ask how many teams in league and what the rest of your team looks like? Because those RBs are terrible, no offense.

I feel like I'm the only person on this board that loves Bernard. He's the exact type of RB2/Flex I like to use in PPR. I really like his game.

It being a ppr league makes GIO a legit rb2 imo... Was the #18 RB in ppr last year.

He was inconsistent though. 8 good games, 8 terrible games. And he killed teams when it matter down the stretch

7.6 ppg through the last 6 games


His production is usually dictated on game flow, thus hard to project

Who is on the WW? Those are some tough RB2s.

A few Ravens RBs

Christine Michael

CJ SPiller

those were the only one's worth a move IMO

As a Jeremy Hill owner last year, the flow of the game greatly dictated Gio's production. He had a ton of catches late in games especially when they were behind. You can tell the coaches didn't trust Hill 100%.

But with a new OC it could be different.

Henry has to compete with Demarco Murray for carries.
