F it why not ur not losing anything, but imho I think him and Gus Edwards are toss ups. But if one hits the bigger value would be Edwards

Yeah I’m just debating whether to prioritize Smith over Adams.

Depends what u need

Both TBH but long term I need a RB more if Collins just got supplanted. Especially if Letryon is only expected to miss one week. Hill is on bye this week. Snead can get me double digits but after last week I’m not sure I trust MVS.

Then u make the priority a rb, and if I have Collins my add would be Edwards to cover the bmore backfield. So if Edwards duds u hve some fall back.

Just my opinion

Thoughts on Adams?

I didn't post on Adams because it kind of boggles my mind that he is available.

I picked him up in a few spots a couple weeks ago. If Adams is available, he is the number 1 add by a good margin. And I would spend a large chunk of FAAB money to get him.

The Eagles have rotated backs consistently the last 2 years, even with Ajayi. It is telling that Adams was the clear cut #1 last week. He is their best back and I expect him to get the majority of the touches moving forward.

And for the record, I avoided Ajayi in drafts and while I added Clement in a couple spots, I was never super high on him either.

Hey, since you are Redskins fan, mind if I ask a couple things: do you think Crowder gets on the field again this season and how much might Quinn's playing time tie into that? Do you think Doctson's stock stays about the same as what it's been the past month since McCoy also isn't much of a downfield thrower and behind a shaky o-line?

I really don't know about Crowder.

I do think MCCoy provides a chance for a Redskin WR to emerge as valuable, but I wouldn't count on it for reasons you mentioned. Certainly keep an eye on both this Thursday, but I wouldn't go adding unless you have a no brainer drop. Because I doubt either will he better than a WR5.

But if you must, Doctson has the clearer track to PT and he is the red zone target.

That was his first week with majority looks and he had 7 carries and 6 targets

Other backs 4 carries, 2 targets

Yes it was more than the others but not screaming rb2

Even ajayi was limited by the rotation

I disagree strongly here.

Adams is a lot more likely to be the number 1 back on his team.

Edwards could get that job, but Collins could easily take it back once Flacco returns. Or Edwards could struggle early next week and go right back to the bench.

Adams was Philly's best offensive player last week. He isn't going away.

I think you are kind of unusually low on Adams. I understand your thinking, but I agree with TLance that if one back is going to emerge out of Philly, it will be him.

I agree. But that’s actually where u and him are differing. I get more of a vibe that he feels he has emerged, where as you think he may emerge. Does that make sense???

And I’m saying you because you just stayed he may emerge , not has emerged.

I guess in my mind he could emerge absolutely. So could Gus Edwards. And to me Edwards stood out way more than adams

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders.

Thoughts on Adams?
When we had our rookie draft back in May I did some research on Adams.
Adams went undrafted in the NFL draft but was quickly added by the Eagles almost immediately after the draft ended.
The weird thing about Adams' signing was that it included a $25K signing bonus.
While signing bonuses are not out of the ordinary, Adams was the biggest for 2018.
That tells me the Eagles may have bigger plans for him.
Just a hunch.
He is getting more and more touches and is averaging over 6 yards a touch.

Mmm, it's tough. I have Doctson in a 0.5 PPR league and am conflicted whether to drop him for Quinn. (Hopefully I won't be needing either, it's the best I can muster on my bench after Dez didn't pan out.) Who is your punt returner? Quinn returned a couple in week one. My league awards 1 point per 20 return yards.

^^^Nevermind. I figured out a solution where I can hold both if my claim on Quinn goes through and see what happens on Thursday.

Fair enough, but I don't think Quinn has a ton of upside.

Stroman has been returning punts by the way.

I will say this.

You do have a point because IF Edwards has truly won the job in Baltimore he has more upside. But that is a big if. And Adams has the job in Philly. And I think Adams will be a mid-low end RB2 moving forward.

i agree with u. on all accounts. I guess im not seeing how he has the job. Ajayi had the job, smallwood had the job, clement had the job. And one weird gameflow game.........adams had more looks but not crazy useage
