Benny Cunningham will play a role in STL's offense. 1 slip up from Stacy, or if he doesn't improve his 3.6 YPC, it sounds like BC will be ready to take that job.

DET K Nate Freese will be top 5 kicker...Championship!

One slip up from Stacy? Can't be serious

That is what all of the "experts" are saying

Not really that unknown of a fact. BC has been the best back in their offense all camp and preseason. So yes, serious.

And Zac Stacy wasn't exactly lights out last year.

Unfortunately I drafted Stacy, he was the best RB there and had no choice went Graham and Brees in 1/2. Grabbed Benny as a handcuff of sorts. Hopefully it wont be one of those situations where they split time.

I wish eifert would have been healthy this preseason, I was intrigued by him but tough to know he's been out for close to a month

Crazy that most of the redraft rankings still have Mason listed above Cunningham. I'm going to try to find a way to pick up Cunngingham, but it is difficult determining who to cut for him at this stage.

Exactly. 3.6 YPC, not much better than T-Rich who is being drafted 2-3 rounds later than Stacy and has absolutely zero competition to contend with.

I still love Antone Smith of the Falcons, but I doubt he gets the workload.

With Ben Tate being Ben Tate, and T West not looking great, is anyone taking a flyer on a talent like Isaiah Crowell? Deep sleeper or rides the bench. I am intrigued but maybe not enough to drop anyone.

My grandma could've run that 40+ yarder through that gaping hole last night. That's digging DEEEEEP.

One guy I drafted in my 14-team league is Latavius Murray. I felt he had the talent, should MJD/DMC go down, to really do things. And he showed out last night. I don't think he's worth a roster spot yet in 10 and possibly 12 team leagues. But one to definitely keep an eye on for a waiver pick up during the season.

I also think Jeremy Hill is going to do work, especially if he gets BJGEs 225+ carries.

I like Crowell. He's a guy to watch but he needs a lot of things to happen to get a crack at that job

Bortles is going to be a solid NFL QB.

When Manzell gets the opportunity, he's going to be valuable in fantasy in a Terrell Pryor kinda way.

Also learned you'll be playing with fire starting any Bills, Giants, and Raiders. Their offenses have been putrid all 4 games

I trust Rashad Jennings. Even if the Giants stinks, I think he will get a lot of dump offs.
