So I drafted Jonathan Stewart as my RB2 and picked up Artis-Payne with one of my last picks because of Stewart's injury history. I happened to notice after the draft that Matt Jones, who has been getting rave reviews, was a FA. Should I drop CAP and add Jones?

I mean both are basically in the same situation. Stewart and Alfred Morris are SOLID RB2's (Stewart arguably RB1 when healthy) and Jones/CAP are both their backups. Both have looked good in preseason but, they will not be worth anything if those two are healthy the whole year.

I'd keep CAP as a handcuff

I'd keep Artis-Payne. With the Panthers' troubles at WR, it seems to me like having Stewart and his handcuff > rostering a Redskins back-up.

Jones isn't getting on the field and producing if Morris is healthy.

JStew more likely to get hurt

I have the max players with 7 at RB so it pretty much has to be one or the other unless you would drop: Forsett, Yeldon, Tevin Coleman, Taliaferro, or Shane Vereen instead. The latter would be crazy IMO

pick up Jones drop Taliaferro. He is injured and may lose the number two job to Buck Allen anyway

I grabbed CAP as a flier at the end of my draft. Dropped him for Matt Jones already. I have the #2 waiver so if Stewart gets injured, I can always grab him again.

It's just that Jones has been more impressive this preseason and might be 3rd down back.

If I was further down the waiver, I'd probably have stayed put with CAP.

Have Matt jones in two keepers leagues. Could be the butlers last year in Washington.

Non keeper I would go CAP.

Drop Lorenzo though.
