.5PPR League. Picked him up late and was hoping for him to take over Rob Kelly but so far he's looked subpar and Kelly has played really well.

Available WR: Tyler Lockett, Taylor Gabriel, Marquis Lee, Kenny Golladay
Current WR: Antonio Brown, Amari Cooper, Pierre Garcon, Chris Hogan

Available RB: Vereen, Prosise, Jalen Richard, Chris Thompson
Current RB: Fournette, Joe Mixon, Doug Martin, Theo Riddick

Available TE (Can start TE in flex): Julius Thomas, Even Engram, Gates, Dwayne Allen, Vance McDonald
Current TE: Jordan Reed and Jack Doyle

Lockett or Engram. Both will see quality targets for ppr. Lockett is also a deep ball threat

I'd drop him since you don't have Kelley.

What about Prosise?

Prosise is the better gamble

Prosise is two injuries away from two injury prone backs of having a solid opportunity. He's the better lotto ticket. You have a nice squad already and some good depth at rb, if like that lotto tocket as my rb5

As long as Prosise isn't injured himself. Seattle is an injury prone backfield all around and I got 3 good weeks from Prosise at the end of last year, before his season ending injury.

I'd keep him, he's an injury away from a starting role on a high volume offense. And he's much less risky than picking up Prosise who needs two injuries and might still be behind Carson for early down work. Your RBs aren't great as is so I'd rather the lottery ticket on my bench than picking up another receiver.

Hold on to him, don't be fooled by a few possessions in a preseason game. Perine is the better back and its not really close. Just will take a few games for him to pick up pass pro and the offense but he's a beast inside the tackles and on the goal line. He's not Adrian Peterson but put up almost identical numbers in 3 years at OU, while fat rob couldn't run for more than 4 yards a carry against conference usa or score TDs. People make too much over such a small sample size, where talent rises to the top when oppurtunity arises.
