If I draft a Rams running back it will be Michel in the last few rounds, or I'll try to get him on waivers. Henderson is still being drafted as a RB2 with an ADP in the early 4th.

That's obviously going to dip some, but if you offered me Henderson in the 6th-7th or Michel in the 13th-14th I can tell you which one I'd pick.

The only concern I ever have with Michel is his injury history. I know the "injury prone" term is often overused but I feel like I'm always avoiding him because it always seems like he's been nursing the same injured knee his entire career.

Dobbins went down and it doesn't sound good. He was carted off & teammates were going talk to him as he rode off. Gus Edwards is about to become very popular

Hilton will miss multiple weeks to start the season. we'll find out quickly if it'll be Pittman or Campbell handling wr1 duties. I drafted Pittman late so I'll be watching this closely

TY Hilton to miss multiple weeks

I mean they are likely looking at a rookie QB starting during this time so I’m not sure if this will be the real litmus test of them being viable starters for fantasy

Really? I've read good things about Wentz and have been assuming he plays week 1.

Vikings starting TE Irv Smith Jr. is expected to undergo surgery for a meniscus injury that will sideline him for at least the start of the regular season, per sources.

Exact timetable TBD for now, but Smith seemed poised for a breakout season and now it’s on hold.

An MRI today confirmed that Ravens’ RB J.K. Dobbins, one of the top young running backs in the game, suffered a season-ending torn ACL, per source.

He got it.

Baltimore will almost definitely go grab another rb, right? Whoever they get, i doubt they'll be as good as Gus. He could see a 60% share this season. I can't wait to watch

I heard some talk that Mark Ingram may not make the cut in Houston. That might be an option for Baltimore. You have to think that they'll sign someone.

60%-65% for Gus is a top 16 RB

Good news on the Carson Wentz front though: Reich says he'll be in full team practice periods beginning tomorrow.

Gus Bus is easily a RB2 now. Round 3 isn't too high at this point.

ESPN's Jamison Hensley reports RB Ty'Son Williams has leapfrogged Justice Hill as the Ravens' No. 2 running back. 

Hensley said Williams, an undrafted free agent who played for three teams in college, "impressed the Ravens with his physicality" during training camp and the preseason.

In the wake of the injury to J.K Dobbins, my understanding is the #Ravens currently like their depth at the running back position and the team is not expected to pursue Todd Gurley, at this time.


Edwards and Ty'son's job is safe.

The three players the #Colts placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list today -- QB Carson Wentz, WR Zach Pascal and C Ryan Kelly -- are all close contacts with a staff member who tested positive, per source. Back in five days as long as they remain negative and asymptomatic.

Wentz can't catch a break.

Don't see any way they don't bring in someone. Gus is and has always been a ~130 carry guy. There's some smoke around Le'Veon right now.
