I would say drop Knowshon for James Jones, but your RB situation is not great. You may want to hold on to him. You're solid at WR, so I would just keep your roster. I don't have much confidence in McKinnon until maybe later in the season, and Knowshon will be back halfway through the season or so.

I should mention this is .5 ppr. But I'll just stick it out and hope one of my other receivers turns into solid trade bait

Hawkins has been a PPR machine. I would rather have him than either one of those guys. Benjamin is the man in Carolina, plus his value will increase with Cam back.Steve Smith Sr is the go to guy in Baltimore. I think you're fine.

you should try to make a trade instead of dropping people. Hawkins should never see your lineup.

If you wanted to drop someone, I would drop Hawkins and pick up McKinnon as a high risk lottery ticket.

lolwut? He's a PPR machine. He's had double digit points in both weeks and hasn't seen the endzone yet. Once he starts getting TDs, he's going to be very start worthy.

OP is in a 0.5 ppr. Cameron is coming back and Hawkins does not get TD's (he has 4 in his career). I would never start him over Allen or Mega. I would also start TY, Smith and probably Benjamin over him at this point.

IMO, I would start Hawkins in a flex spot over Mckinnon and James Jones any week. Would not drop him for either one of those guys.

What about any of these guys for McKinnon?


.5 PPR
Starters:
QB: M. Stafford
RB: M. Forte
RB: L. Bell
RB/WR Flex: T.West
WR: B. Marshall
WR: V. Jackson
WR/TE Flex: K. Wright
TE: J. Thomas
D/ST: Chiefs
K: G. Gano

Bench:

Rueben Randle
Riley Cooper
Ladarius Green
Larry Donnell
Allen Hurns
LaGarrett Blount (just have him bc I have Bell)
Chris Johnson
Donald Brown

IR Ingram

Obviously I wouldn't drop most of these guys, but I'm just giving you an idea of what I have.

I'd figure out some way to get Jones on your roster

Surprised he's not owned in more leagues.

He's Carr's favorite target and Oakland is so bad they'll be trailing in probably 95 percent of games this season.

Jones isn't anything special, but he did lead the league in TDs just two years ago (Rodgers was his QB, but he is nonetheless still a decent WR that gets volume)

This. And with Rod Streater banged up, James Jones is all he has to throw to.

nah

Come sunday, there will be 3 "WTF James Jones!!!!111one" thread on here. Just not a guy you can trust playing with a rookie QB. Streater is seeing targets, Moore is seeing targets, Holmes is seeing targets, they just signed Vincent Brown. Just a volatile situaiton.

But ya gotta do what ya gotta do if you own Victor Cruz and Crabtree, i guess
