Oliver or Drake for the injury lottery?

Both Gordon and Ajayi have a history of knee issues and both have been limited in practice this week.
Which is the better handcuff to grab? Undrafted Oliver who has done it before (two 100+ yards games as a starter) but has lack luster measurables (5'7"or 4.62 40-time) or Drake the 3rd round pick (6'1" 4.45 40-time) who hasn't shown that he could do it even if given the opportunity.
I have a feeling one will miss time not sure which one.

Do you already have a roster spot that is totally useless right now? I don't know the answer to your question, but I wouldn't be dropping anyone to do what your asking.

Yes I elected not to have a dedicated TE2/K2/DEF2/WR5/RB5...and instead am choosing keep a lottery spot for injury picks with highish upside.

Side note Lester, your son made a hell of a play in the game tonight. Haha.

Dude, no. You don't handcuff those guys in a 10tm league

Highest owned non-rostered players
Which has the most upside that I should roster instead?

I like Marvin Jones or Jordan Matthews
Sort it by RBs though

I think the message is also, don't use that draft strategy during the next draft.

Rawls will see more carries as he gets healthier but not sure full time. Jamaal Charles is an intriguing flyer but I'm not sure I'd add either. Must have large rosters because that is pretty depleted for a 10tm

16 spots. I have Carson, dropped Rawls for the stash.....have martin and Quizz wasting space too
Posted on 9/23/17 at 9:39 pm to Kujo
Adding Rawls would make more sense then th 2 guys in the OP, imo

Oliver. I highly doubt Drake would be a bell cow without Ajayi. It would be RBBC with Damian Williams getting more work. Sort of like what happened with Kerwynn Williams. Oliver would get 20 plus carries if Gordon goes down.

I don't see Rawls as having upside. undrafted with just a few good games his rookie year hasn't shown anything since.
Carson and procise would have to get injured for him to be something again.
Knee injury IR situation for two guys already Q-tagged in week 3 is way more likely.

Prosise is 3rd down only
Rawls will get worked in even with healthy Carson. You'll se

I agree about Rawls. He will get his shot before Carroll hands Carson the reigns ovet for good. This coming from a Carson owner. Rawls has a better chance of seeing significant snaps than any other rb on that board.

So you think that if Gordon, Ajayi , and Carson all go on IR this weekend, Rawls would be the better pick-up over Oliver or Drake?
Could be, but the PPR aspect has me leaning Oliver.

So intead of Rawls, you want Drake, who can't stay healthy himself, and Oliver who had 500+ yards in 2014 and then finished the past two years on I.R.?
Also, in Drake's case, he can't beat out Damien Williams whose career year in rushing yards is 122 yards.
