y2jbones 257 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Anyone still holding Drake May as well start him this week. It’ll be his best matchup of the season against the equally awful Redskins. I think Drake is a talented back, but his awful team is crippling his upside. This would be the rare week he is worth a flex and/or bye week fill-in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Another guy I would keep my eye on is Walton. If Ballage continues to suck and if Drake gets traded they may move to Walton. They may even start giving more of Ballages touches to Walton. Having said that this is a nice game for the Fins to showcase Drake in hopes of getting a dance partner for a trade. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roscobangs 270 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Yeah, I like Drake this week as a flex. Starting in one league over one of DJ Moore/Josh Gordon. Haven't decided which. Trying to trade for him another league. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThePerfectBeard 90 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 This guy just hit the waiver in my league. He has to be worth an add right? I wonder if there's still any chance he gets traded. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Redskins are as awful as their record suggests but they've also just underwent a coaching change. The defensive coordinator lost his life support and will be auditioning for other jobs starting with this game. They also have some playmakers up front and I wouldn't be surprised if pressure brought upon by recent events prod them to rise above the level of play they've demonstrated so far, especially against a team they don't have to worry about in the air.

swetooth9 96 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 will be starting K. Drake out of desperation this week in a non-PPR flex spot...got him in a packaged trade lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CooL 3,269 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I added, only because it's hard to find a starting RB on waivers at this point. But I'm still not sure how much 4-6-12-9 rushing attempts are worth in this anemic offense. Trying to think of possible landing spots for him even if a team wanted to trade for him. Tampa? Unlikely now since it seems like RoJo might have a chance. Redskins? Maybe it would be a good spot if they do indeed want to run more. But who really is hurting enough to want him?

LongBalls 1,193 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 A great bye week filler this week for those with a starting RB unavailable. Looks like he's available in around 40% of leagues so I'd definitely check it out. Good match-up, obviously. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ehhh, Mark Walton appears to be taking over the role that people thought Ballage was going to have. Wouldn't surprise me at all if he leads the backfield in touches this week.

Maxtap 18 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I still think the Drake is the RB to own ROS in miami.....if you have to own a Miami RB 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Big Nate 1,401 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I have a feeling it happens this week. Good luck to all. I also think Walton will get some more looks. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DoYourJob 213 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Expectations were so low because he's on the Dolphins that I'm actually happy with 10 half ppr points (yeah things were that bad for me this week) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Despite that, it was still a solid performance so I won't sit here and bash the guy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can think weeks are won by the 25-pointer your stud puts up, or the 10-points your fill-in gets you while your opponent started Ekeler (6.3), Gordon (4.3), James White (9), Darrell Henderson (5.3), Derrick Henry (3.8), Chris Thompson (3), Damien Williams (8.5), Breida (8.3), Joe Mixon (4.9). All started in my league this week. If your bye week fill-in scores .1 less than Kamara (10.1), from one view he might've won you the week. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dontclapGonorrhea 377 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Drake is a great stash for the ROS and also in dynasty, Someone is going to pay him and he is the type of RB that Tampa needs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
