How many teams? Who is on your team? Do you own any piece of the injured guys?

McKinnon for the next few weeks. Having a lead back in Shanahan's offense is going to give you a chance every week that Mostert and Coleman are out.

Really depends on if you need a back for a couple weeks or the rest of the season

I’m going to later other spend their FAAB on freeman. He’s just a name on a really bad team.

10 team league

Other running backs are:

Kenyan Drake
Nick Chubb
Malcolm Brown
Tarik Cohen


Runningbacks are shitty. Can play a flex. I have Golladay, Davante Adams, Allen Robinson, Michael Gallup as my receivers. (Dropping Parris Campbell)

I'd go long-term and hope Kelly breaks out. Freeman would be 2nd choice

Freeman will bring what Kelly does but with more volume, some receptions, and GL duties. I mean we kinda see what Kelly will bring

Though in a 10 team with those RBs I’m taking a swing at McKinnon. Coleman out for a bit and Mostert with the MCL. 49ers Heavily invested in him with no real ROI yet

I’d be replacing Cohen and Campbell w McKinnon and Freeman

I have waiver claims in for Kelly, Freeman, and McKinnon.


Doesn't sound like Mostert will be out for that long though. Mild MCL sprain could just mean 1 or 2 weeks.

At worst you’ll see a timeshare in SF. Their RBs averaged 27 carries a game last year at 5 yards a pop. McKinnon doesn’t need a ton of touches to eat up yards. ~15 a game and he should produce in that offense

I'm actually going back and forth between Josh Kelly and Devonta Freeman now. They're both still available in my league and I can't decide.

Ended up with Freeman. Think he's a solid play all year long after this week.

I went with Freeman over the guys mentioned here. McKinnon will certainly have value this week and over the next couple but I am more concerned about who could bring value 2 months from now.

all 3 were available in both of my leagues. I thought Freeman had the most upside long-term

Idk about upside, but he should have predictable workload week to week, and there is value in that. There will be some decent weeks and some stinkers

“Upside” lies with Kelley and McKinnon. There carry value in their current state but it would skyrocket if something were to happen to Ekeler or Mostert long term

Josh Kelley is the new Melvin Gordon in the that offense. More upside than a washed up RB and McKinnon
