He's more of a threat to Dillon IMO

#Rams RB Kyren Williams is expected to miss multiple games but should be back, at the latest, after the week 10 bye, per source


Glad I went with Evans over any of the SF backs. I think CMAC will miss 1 game at most.

I am still concerned the Rams go with another veteran over the rookie.

I went with Kareem Hunt over Evans hoping it was just 1 or 2 weeks for Kyren, and because I think the Rams may go RBBC with Evans/Freeman/Williams.

Oh well. I was screwed either way I guess.

The CMC injury has me in a bind, mostly because Montgomery is my #2 RB

I anticipate montgomery being out for a few weeks, but the uncertainty of CMC has me hesitating on trades. Feels like he could either play this week or sit out 2 weeks until the bye. In which case Id have to sit out 3 weeks without my top 2 RB's

I have someone offering me James Cook and Gabe Davis for Puka, but I do not want to give up Puka if CMC will play this week. My 3 best options behind the 2 injured players are friggin gus edwards, jeff wilson jr, craig reynolds, not exactly confidence inspiring. I already lost chubb for the season

Interesting timing with the Julio signing. Wonder if it's worse than being told.
