I traded James White for D. Freeman on Tuesday in my PPR keeper league. I still feel good long term (I think), and it was a nice "sell high", but man. How many dings can one man get?
Thank goodness I traded for Coleman and picked up Ito in my dynasty. .... thinking maybe the rumors of ATL letting Coleman walk after this season have gone in the crapper

Royce Freeman or Shady McCoy?

Name brand says to go with McCoy, but something is telling me to play Freeman. Freeman is averaging 9 points to McCoy's 4.7. Buffalo is on the road, which they have been terrible this year.

Another (professional(?)) Duke Johnson fan heard from...Rotoworld, of course.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports Duke Johnson is "frustrated by his lack of chances."

Johnson had to receive a pep talk from Tyrod Taylor on Wednesday. "He told me to just be more positive," Johnson said. For his part, Johnson said he is not going to formally lodge a complaint. "I've just never been a big fan of going up to coaches and demanding the ball." Johnson is right to be frustrated. Even with the Browns hurting for weapons, Johnson is averaging just five touches per game after that number was 10 in 2017. OC Todd Haley needs to find a way to get his playmaking change-of-pace back more involved.

Per Schefter:

Chiefs’ QB Patrick Mahomes will try to do something tonight that QBs his age have not done before: beat Bill Belichick and Tom Brady in Foxboro. Quarterbacks under 25 years old are now 0-23 in the regular season on the road against Belichick and Brady.

We have a Chad "Machine Gun" Kelly siting in Denver!!!

Granted it was just to take the kneeldown going into halftime... But, we could have a QB switch at Mile High...a former Mr. Irrelevant no less.

Naw I missed most the college games, expect that debacle that is my Huskers (Frost is a puke)

But, being a Raider fan, this kid scares me. I'm honestly shocked it took them this long. Keenum finally ran out of smoke and mirrors

But Kupp, the warrior, the myth, the legend, gets carted off early, is back after halftime...that's why he's better than Diggs

What's everyone's opinion on Lat Murray going forward? Obviously he's a solid RB2 as long as Cook is out but do you think he will have weekly flex value when Cook returns?

Honestly no. Today was a very special circumstance because they played the worst run defense in football, but on a weekly basis if Cook is healthy he won't get enough touches to be useful. He is a great guy to keep on the end of your bench though in case Cook is out. I actually have him in two leagues that I don't have Cook in and two leagues that I do have Cook in.

Watson put me behind the 8ball. Down 11 with me having Crosby and he has some white RB ...oh snap, he put Brieda in.

While I do agree with Bandit's take...

Cook has only played in 7 games the last 2 seasons.
That's out of a possible 24 games (including playoffs).
So he's only played in 29% of games.

My unofficial rule is that if a guy can't stay healthy to start a career, he most-likely will NOT be healthy in his career.
(Not sure if you're old enough to remember "Fragile" Fred Taylor?)
Might be frustrating for all Cook owners, but my point is, if this theory holds true for Cook, Latavius will have some decent value so long as he's on the Vikings.
