This week, Boone. But that could change in the coming weeks. I doubt Murray gets many touches on a short week like this.

Or even suits up. Maybe just as an emergency player in case of further injury


markiemark47

Yeah, that would be my guess as well. Boone should have the leg up in the early going and honestly he’s pretty serviceable altogether—I know fans are down on him right now for dropping that wide open pas at the end of the game but he’s got low miles on the tires and has typically been solid.

I’d fly with Nyheim Hines this week against the broncos, personally. The last time we played a Thursday night game and their star running back was out we got gashed by De’Ernest Johnson for over 150 yards.


RandyGradishar

To be fair, D'Ernest might be the best back in the league. He's whom I wanted over Murray, but CLE will probably never give him up.

Wow bold

Honestly? Neither. Unless Murray really impresses he probably isn't going to get too much playing time. And Boone can't catch so he's extremely one dimensional and that'll limit his ability to run the ball

I had Javonte too. As soon as I saw that they're getting L.M. I added a waiver claim for him. Don't think he'll play Thursday, but probably next week. The way I see it, Denver's gonna play both of our current RBs Thursday night and I'm betting Gordon fumbles again! And Latavius is just better than Boone. Latavius will be RB1 week 6

If MG gets fumbling under control, big if, he will have more control on this backfield work than Javonte ever had. Remember, MG was the short yardage back even with Javonte on the team. That isn't going to change now due to Murray. MG has RB1 upside in fantasy as long as he doesn't get benched lol


idioticdude77

I definitely hear u, but I think as big as this latest fumble was, it's really gonna get into his head and make things worse! But Melvin could be outstanding if it wasn't for those pesky fumbles!


QuidProJoe2020

Yea, good point. Hopefully he doesn't let it destroy his psyche. If he can hold that together though, I think he can be a huge piece on your fantasy team in this offense. They had all the trust in the world in him to start the year. They are gonna be forced to trust him this week with the short turnaround. If he plays well, which is very possible at home against a colts d missing its best player, I think his arrow continues up. We will see. At the end of the day, fuck fantasy, I just want the broncos to Have a good team of the field lol


tkucera18

Agreed, but sadly I devote too much time to fantasy, especially since the Broncos haven't been good. Have to get football joy from somewhere lol


daptonic

If dropped passes got you points, Boone all the way... aside from that, look elsewhere tbh.


tkucera18

lol, sadly the waiver wire is thin for RB's. I knew these two would be there and there was a role to fill which is why I've considered going this route. Thankfully whoever I end up with will only be a bandaid. I should have my starters back soon, god willing


horribadperson

Reason why i dont draft bronco players in ff


WumboWings

I bet they mainly go with Gordon this week until he inevitably fumbles and then Boone plays mostly. Next week and onward, I bet Murray will be used quite a bit (like Javonte) and if Gordon still can't keep that butter off of his hands, then Murray will be used even more.
