sixteen team league.

So we are starting some not very good running backs. I do however have a couple of nice picks in Carlos Hyde and Jeremy Hill.

Does Jackson still have it? He got a decent number of carries, but they starting passing way too much.

He ended up with 52 yards. I still think he might be the main runner going forward. What are the thoughts here?

He doesn't have the burst of speed he used to have. He may have a game here and there with close to 100yds. He will get a few goaline TD's, but if I were you I would trade him in a package deal. Get something now before his "hamstring" injury comes up. He was a beast in the past, but those years are gone.

This is actually a good league. No one will likely give me crap for him. It is cut him and pick up something else or keep him.

We only have two bench spots, so you really can't carry dead weight.

But does atlanta have a better primary runner? Also, atlanta will score a bunch.

I am just not sure who to pick up for him if I cut him. Even when he didn't play much in a pass happy game, he still gained 52 yards with well over a 4 ypc.

To be honest, I vomited a bit when I drafted him, but he could easily end up being the main ball carrier for the falcons. I understand his best years are behind him, but this is a large league and not much out there.

He looked like their 4th best RB yesterday. But as long as he's healthy he's going to be first in line

In a 16 team league, I can't see cutting Sjax, especially with just 2 bench players.

Wait until he gets hurt them cut him FROM what you've said about your league.

First, you have his future replacement already on the team and by week 6 or so the rookie could take the helm if given the chance. Devonta Freeman is his name.
You also have Jacquizz Rodgers and Antone Smith.
Cut him and find someone else if you only have two spots.
