Considering picking up Isaiah Pead up on waivers... What y'all think about his potential moving forward?

12 Team - PPR

Current RBs are....

Demarco Murray
Reggie Bush
Joique Bell
Leveon Bell
Helu (stash)

As you can see my current RB situation is not great so hoping LeVeon Bell comes out hot and a good waiver pickup could be helpful.

I'd take him over Bell & Helu.


Actually I'm pretty shocked that in a 12 team/PPR that he isn't owned already.

I wouldn't take Pead over any bell unless it's Tatum

Hoping I can get him. Waivers process tonight... Problem is I'm 10/12. I drafted L. Bell late and picked up Helu as a FA. He hasn't done anything but I just know as soon as I drop him Morris will get hurt. I have several low grade WR I can drop to get Pead.

I'm not dropping any of my RBs to get him. Just basically wanted to make sure there wasn't anything bringing down his value that I didn't know about.

Like I said ... I've been contemplating dropping him for 3 weeks but just know that as soon as I do Morris will go down. I'm sure I'll drop him in next week or 2 but just stashing as long as I can. (Wishful thinking , I know)

I just think that the running back situation is far from solved situations. Leveon Bell will get carries this week. But, I wouldn't count on much out of him.

Not a chance. Bell is close to finally playing. If not this week, after bye. Either way, he's still a good stash for midseason and beyond, assuming he pans out. But the upside is tremendous and worth the risk.

I think L. Bell will eventually be a solid RB2 but gonna give him a week or 2 before I put him in the lineup

Not close to playing

He is playing. Against the worst fantasy run defense

The matchup is what has me considering playing him this week but I'm thinking they will ease him in and not give him full workload.....

Bell does not have tremendous upside. It appears to me that Pittsburgh uses a three-man offensive line.

If I land Pead who do I put as my flex....

L. Bell
J. Bell
Pead
Denarious Moore
Kendell Wright

Figuring Bush and Murray as RB1 & 2

If I didn't already have Stafford & Megatron starting I'd prob roll with Joique Bell at Flex w Bush at RB.... But I don't want to put all my eggs in 1 basket more than they already are.

WR2: Andre Johnson
TE: Gronk
D: Cowboys

To each their own. I snatched him off the waivers week 2/3 when someone dropped him. He's worth the investment because I also have Martin, MJD, Gio, Pierce & Pead.
