Should I grab Oliver?

[romeo212000]

My backs: Lynch, P. Thomas, Taliaferro, Sankey, J. Hill

 

[TREFF]

Dont think I'd drop one of those for him, no

 

[MilkSpiller22]

I would drop tali if it is any type of ppr league... In a non ppr league then i would agree with Treff...

 

[romeo212000]

Nope, standard league.

 

[Chef99]

Potentially great start this week. After that, who knows? I believe Mathews is back in two weeks or so.

 

[MilkSpiller22]

actually then i might drop pierre Thomas... I know he had that one big game, but they have a bye this week and then next week ingram should be back... that means that pierre Thomas will be very inconsistent with such depth of RBs... He will likely only be a receiving back, and if you are not getting points for receptions then his 50 yards will do nothing for your team...

Oliver, might be great especially since he is the only one left until Matthews comes back... and he is the lightning that that team has looked for since losing Darren sproles...

I think you may get 2 very good weeks out of Oliver and then see him fade off. However, 2 good week could equal 2 good wins. I would take 2 wins vs holding on to a mediocre player that likely won't come off your bench anyways. Worth the add, imo.

 

[Shield-Thread Killa]

Yes

 

[SoShady]

I would not in this setup.

But what do you guys think of Oliver in a 3.5 PPR league as a owner of Mathews? How much of your remaining $75 budget would you spend on Oliver. I have a $36 bid on him now. High enough, not enough or not worth it?

 

[TKOSpikes]

Romeo, do you have positional limits? If not, drop Torrey. I think the upside is there.

I can't comment on the budget and bids, but that start against Oakland can't look much better, especially if Rivers goes off early. Ollie cleans up in garbage time, I think. And since Brown has done squat, Ollie makes a nice handcuff for Mathews.

 

[MilkSpiller22]

I dont see the chargers destroying the Raiders... I actually see a decently close game... Of course the chargers will win, but i would be surprised if it is by more than 2 scores...

Nope. I could drop him.

Heard he's back in week 7 or 8

 

[MilkSpiller22]

even when matthews comes back though, he looks like he will be used... He might be sneaky good all season, even as the number 2 RB for the chargers... He will be the receiving back...

 

[romeo212000]

Andre Williams is also available. What do you guys think?

Might be my 2nd RB behind McCoy, I also have spiller. Trying to get Tate for more depth

 

[The Foot]

I would pick him up, in fact I did two weeks ago and really was thinking about starting him this past week but didn't. The thing that could make him special and I said COULD but not def is even though he looks and feels like a Sproles he is actually built like an every down back to boot. Plus with Mathews injury big history Mathews could go down again and with the very same lingering injury which tend to haunt him all year once he gets one. Then the full slate would be in Oliver's hands. And how can you not be licking your chops with his upcoming mathc up.....The Space in Raiders!

I'm a Matthews owner and I'm hoping to get him with the 6th claim but no way he falls I don't think

 

[MilkSpiller22]

Who is the better add in a redraft league .5PPR

Storm Johnson or CJ anderson- neither would start this week...
