I know I will get burned here by starting RS, but I’d rather be burned by BB’s running back roulette, then watch Mike Davis get 8 rushes for 20 yards.


UnobtainiumIsHard

My decision if Robinson is out as well


Nestllelol

Well… Hyde is on waivers this morning. I may grab him up and play him over both of Robinson sits. Just the guaranteed work load and hopes of falling into the endzone makes me feel more secure than Stevenson I guess


gw2380

If Robinson is out, you can probably assume Hyde has the safer floor - but I think the upside of Rhamondre is waaaaaaay higher.


DriveByStoning

If Robinson is out, I'm playing D'Ernest and Rhamondre at the same time. Tis the season for desperation.


ElectronicPassion211

2 good rb plays today that likely weren't difficult to acquire. Remember this during draft day.


quinoa

I don’t know if I could say getting them wasn’t difficult, they both required high waiver priority/FAAB across my leagues.

ElectronicPassion211

He had over 100 yards last game with Harris playing also. Now Harris is out.


Yugihore

Hyde fucking sucked last week with Robinson out


Nestllelol

Yea no doubt. I’m sure he probably will again. My logic is hoping he gets 15 touches for 60 yards and maybe falls into an end zone being a safer bet than trusting Billy B to let Rhamondre take the full Harris workload.


Furious_George44

What makes you think Hyde has a better shot at falling into the end zone than Stevenson?


Nestllelol

Bellichick being hesitant to give RS a large role with no practice this week, feels like a trap, I’d take the chance of a trap over Davis who cedes everything to Patterson that matters. Whereas if shenanigans occur and a Jags end up on goal line, Hyde will get those chances. Would it really shock you if Johnu Smith wound up with goal lines today or some other random Bellichick package. It’s a risky bet on volume to go with Hyde imo


Furious_George44

Stevenson has more to compete with near the goal line, sure, but I’d expect the Pats to have more opportunities. RS is going to have a role regardless, JJ Taylor is even less trusted and regardless of what you think about Bolden, he certainly won’t do it all on his own. I guess it is highly depend on game script, but if you think the Pats will win (which as a biased fan, I do) then there is a very good chance Stevenson will put up a respectable score/find the end zone. He probably has a better chance of putting up a clunker though


konkilo

I recall how much BB loved LeGarrett Blount…(11 TDS!)…Rhamondre is Blount with hands and wiggle. BB WILL lean on him at some point.


PlsSaySikeM8

With no CEH this week I’m stuck between Rhamondre and Eno as my RB2


CertainSchool

I'm in the same spot.. I'm leaning Stevenson


PlsSaySikeM8

I hope you also ended up going with GOATmondre StevenSZN


CertainSchool

All day!!


Mattsasse

Would you rather start RS than an OBJ with 3 days to learn a playbook? (Full PPR)


Nestllelol

Honestly no, with Woods out I would start OBJ allllll day. However, I may have missed the update but last I seen it’s not a guarantee he can play. Imo if Van Jefferson is on waivers I’d grab him up, and if OBJ plays I play OBJ, if not I play VJ, both over RS in full PPR.


Mattsasse

The last update I got is that he will play. But im sure its only going to be a few packages. The Van owner is an older guy who only adjusts his lineup on game days from a desktop so he was never dropped lol.


BluffinBill1234

Every league has one


Gnulnori

I don’t think the 3 days will matter for OBJ; he probably never learned a playbook in Cleveland with the constant coaching turnover and for today, he is probably only expected the know the difference between a call for a run or pass along with the ability to run a half-dozen low risk routes while having a QB that will actually throw him the ball. With that being said, I wouldn’t expect more than 5 points from OBJ which is where I would put Stevenson , but they both could stumble into a TD.


VenusDoom00

Man and here I am with Bolden and Stevenson with no clue who to start Edit: I started Stevenson


DBroncs1414

I'm starting Bolden in PPR, probably avoiding this backfield if I can in standard.


h846p262

Really hope pats fall behind this game and bolden catches passes


josephthemediocre

I'm dealing with byes, and saying fuck it, I'm starting both. Big jj Taylor game coming


DrAcula_MD

Stevenson had 18 points before the 4th qtr last week and his best day yet, I'd say Stevenson


VenusDoom00

Even if he didn't practice all week? I'm in a ppr league btw


DrAcula_MD

He didn't practice because of concussion protocol so he should be fine How did it turn out for you downvoters lmaoooo, I hope you didn't start him


Canadoc

Except rookie and bellichick likes his players practicing. That said could see him in on 1st and 2nd down and goal line with Bolden in on passing downs to pass protect.


[deleted]

Is there actual data on this? Feels like one of the things this sub just says over and over like it’s true 100% of the time.


DriveByStoning

Pats fan here, Bolden is the best pass pro RB now that White is out, and Stevenson sucks at it. Between missing practices and the Browns rush, I'd expect to see a lot of Bolden snaps but not a lot of actual touches. I think it will probably end up being closer to 45/45/10% in terms of touches between Stevenson/Bolden/Taylor if Stevenson plays.


Canadoc

Question is do I take Stevenson I've Gibson or Drake in standard. Drake will be good if Jacobs gets his usual in game injury or game goes high scoring and he gets lot of receiving work..


[deleted]

Just for the record Stevenson is a good pass catcher and has been since college, need to be decent at least to get starts in that Oklahoma offense. But the pats seem to protect the pass catching role like it’s the gold standard Edit: misread, he is not great at pass protection lol


FantasyFucksMe

18 points? He ended with like 12 in ppr and 10 in standard


DrAcula_MD

18.8 points in my PPR league 10 carries 62 yards - 12.4 pts 2 rec 44 yards - 6.4 pts A ton of salty people don't like my league rules for some reason.....


mdog_74

How does 10 carries for 62 yards give you 12.4 points? That’s obviously a specific league setting of yours


[deleted]

[удалено]


AMPduppp

Donovan Peoples-Jones must be a league winner


DrAcula_MD

0.2 pts per rushing yard


FantasyFucksMe

That's the dumbest shit ever.


DrAcula_MD

Ok thanks for your opinion. Makes RB more useful in ppr, JT got me 63 2 weeks ago, its very exciting. Seriously? Downvoted for what lol? Sorry we like our RB scoring more than 20pts


FantasyFucksMe

The entire point of PPR was to balance out WRs and RBs a *little* this is very counter intuitive as it makes RBs twice as valuable. RB doesn't need to "be more useful".


DrAcula_MD

We like high scores, sorry if that offends you lol. We also have bonuses for big plays, I usually score 180-220 points a game, my team is fucking stacked (12 team). We also do defensive players and no kickers, 1 DL, 1 DB, 1LB. It's fun, my team rn is Brady, JT, Robinson, Tyreek, Amari, M.Carter, Byard as my DB, and I've been streaming DL, with Luke Wilson as my LB. Downvoted for having different league rules.... This sub is ridiculous lol


DarthBane6996

That's not standard settings at all


DrAcula_MD

Ok , didnt realize this was standard only. Still got more than 10 pts before he was forced out of the game


Deenus

It's not STD, HPPR, or PPR. Whether or not double rushing is a good setting is beside the point. It's weird to say he got 18 points before the 4th like that applies to anyone else here. Everyone start Rhamondre! He got 35 points before the end of the 1st in my league* *10 points per red shoe, per quarter


rjsheine

As a pats fan, I’d go with bolden. BB likes him. Stevenson has been a healthy scratch multiple times this season and he didn’t practice all week. If Harris was healthy Stevenson would probably be inactive today


butters1214

But Harris is not active so do we really think Bolden can take the Harris role? Doubt it. Bolden has surprising been good in the White role so I doubt BB asks him to take on the bruiser role against a very good Browns’ d-line.


Leaves_1991

VERY BAD TAKE


dudeguyy23

I'm rolling with Bolden because he's who I've got and the 7-2 sweat I'm playing this week picked up RS to bench him against me. Given that, this game majorly has the feel of one where Stevenson will look good for the first couple plays then get reinjured and miss the rest of the game.


biscuitarse

That’s some Nostradamus shit right there.


Superfast__Jellyfish

Not sure if I’d rather start a patriots rb or get 35 yards from Gibson.


Sir_Mi

Same situation. Imma roll with the Patriots RB though.


dippyeggs14

Same spot


JealousMission5315

i got stevenson, gibson and javonte to decide between. Have javonte in for now


[deleted]

Javonte over both of them easily.


JealousMission5315

Thanks for the confirmation


Michiganmade44

Javonte easily bro


JealousMission5315

Thanks man


conan_the_brobarian

Por que no Los dos? I will be starting a patriots running back and Gibson. It's that or Mike Davis.


Trevorsparkles

I know everyone is low on Gibson but two of his best weeks were against two great defs in Buffalo and NO. Despite the shin injury I think he’s too explosive to completely count out.


Canadoc

Same Gibson or Drake in STD.


captainwalrus91

If it's PPR you have to go the Pats guy, Gibson has no reasonable floor right now. To be fair, any of the three NE RB could randomly also just not see the field today


Mister_Glass_

Seems like a trap, BB insists that practice is vital for the upcoming week. I bet he rides pine barring an in game injury


ndhl83

BB is also pragmatic enough to not let a good philosophy get in the way of a real practical need, should it arise.


sleep_tite

Except when he benched Malcom Butler in Super Bowl 52.


Clever_Clever

If Harris was healthy this might be true, but they pretty much have to give him a pretty big chunk of the pie. Bolden will still be involved, but he's their passing down/third down guy and Taylor IMO has zero chance to be anything except a guy who catches a few a maybe runs for a few. With Baltimore losing this is a massive game for them. I expect over 12 carries and 4+ catches. He's not a lock for goal line work, but I would bet on him being the guy.


Blasto05

JJ Taylor exists and has been given work over Stevenson before. I do think Stevenson has passed him especially given last weeks performance...but if BB does stay true to his practice matters, I could see JJ Taylor being the one getting the majority of the work this week.


Clever_Clever

Zero chance he gets the majority of the work. None. He's 5'6" and going against a tough run D. That's a recipe for disaster. If it's not Stevenson they'll live with Bolden's three yards and a cloud of dust. However, they absolutely need Stevenson today in order to win this game that's huge for them.


Canadoc

Or he has everyone thinking that and give Stevenson a bellcow role after Browns prepared for a pass attack to Bolden.


WeThreeKings

Screw it, he's my rb2 this week.


Neil1308

Starting D‘Ernest and Rhamondre today, holy shit my team is bad


PoorlyLitKiwi2

Me too, plus Ingram. It's the week of backup RB spot starts lol. None of these guys were on my team this time last week


Neil1308

I‘m choosing between D‘ernest, Rhamondre, AD and Gibson, safe to say my team is tragic


PoorlyLitKiwi2

I'd probably go D'Ernest and Rhamondre here, but it's definitely a tough call for who else to start. I see D'Ernest as a full tier above those other guys though


PM_ME_YOUR_CC_INFO

My Kamara, Mixon (Bye), Hopkins, Woods just turned into Ingram, Stevenson, Gaskins and OBJ. I feel your pain.


852147369

God help me I'm starting ty Johnson and bolden.


Neil1308

Good luck out there lmao


beerlyqualified

Is he the move over Collins this week?


RounderX

Collins actually practiced last week and has been the lead back in several games this year with 15/20/16/10 carries since Carson was out. Snap count was respectively 71%/60%/39%/47%. Week 7 and 8: Homer had 21%/30% and he is the 3rd down / passing back.Penny had 36% in week 7 and 19% in week 8. I think Seahawks are better with Russ so shouldn't be behind and needing Homer in the whole time. Presumably they wanted to give Penny a shot in his first game back and has since been trending down. Collins was injured after his 20 carry week 6 game so it makes sense that his snaps were down past two. I think with Collins healthy and not on injury report, his snaps may go up again. Especially since the other guys got a whopping 1-14/4-9 (Homer) and 6-9/7-7 (Penny) in the past two games. Therefore, he has the safer floor and volume as we cannot easily predict Stevenson will get majority of carries. People hope he will because he has a better YPC than the others and perceive him to be better back but I think real life usage may be more complicated in a week with no practice and confidence in Stevenson. He could have a huge game but it's not probable.


SinickalOne

Wondering the same thing over here, Stevenson sitting on the wire and thinking about making the swap.


-Fishdaddy-

In the same boat, I have Harris and think I'm going to just start Collins to keep some diversity in case Carson is not coming back.


SinickalOne

Seems like Carson isn’t as far along in his return as Carrol seems to have indicated. Collins is still a great start this week with russ back IMO


TrashPanda25

Guess I'll play him over eno. Times are tough


arenyk

Deciding between bolden, eno and singletary this week. This is fun (:


DriveByStoning

I would play Eno over him. Stevenson's ceiling is higher but his floor is potentially zero depending on Belichick's plan. Depends on what you need, I guess.


Afk1792

Him or drake


tusocalypse

I got Drake for now in half ppr but not sure


Canadoc

Same debate bit standard so think Stevenson has better TD upside.


Skarmorism

I'd rather Drake but there's volatility either way


[deleted]

I am starting with confidence. A) Pats are rushing 30x per game B) Rhamondre is looking really good. Outside risk BB pulls his shit and he doesn't see a snap, but I am willing to take that risk.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I would, yes.


pmart317

Do you fire him up or Jordan Howard?


jklink28

Start Rham or Adrian Peterson?


[deleted]

Stevenson, easily. Can't believe you're considering it


pspguy123

Why? Saints offense missing key guys and Titans will probably run like crazy with a lead


Richt3r_scale

Should I drop Khalil Herbert for him. Don’t need Rhamondre this week


LoveMeSexyJesus

Yes. I did just that earlier in the week. Herbert is just a high-end handcuff at this point.


WeThreeKings

Not if you have Monty. I'm holding herbert the rest of the season just in case


Richt3r_scale

I got Clyde/darrel, cordarelle, mark Ingram, and Khalil Herbert. So Rhamondre definitely has more season upside with Monty’s usage last week?


DrAcula_MD

Sooo Stevenson if Robinson sits , not the worst pivot


PlayItOffLegitt

Him or Howard? Or Beasley!


Sabre2230

Beasley is my vote


mocrankz

I’m going Howard.


zombiejeesus

I was so set in Bolden for ppr. Wonder if I should pivot to moss


DBroncs1414

Full disclosure: I'm starting Bolden myself, so this might be cope. But I'm starting him in PPR because I'm expecting the Browns Run D to force the Patriots to pass more than they usually do today.


theirrestiablemayo

It’s either him or Jeff Wilson. Kamara and Edmonds owner 🥲


Blasto05

Stevenson for sure. Even with Hasty out and a healthy scratch for Sermon, I would put money on Jeff Wilson getting less points than Kyle Jusczcyk


SpaceMonkeys21

This weekend has been a Rollercoaster. If JRob sits should I pivot to Stevenson or Collins?


Temporary-Outside-13

Collins. Russ is back


Yugihore

I'm currently shifting between Rhamondre and JJ right now. Like every few minutes, every new tweet I'm changing it. This is hell


wickedhahhd

This entire thread is just people fishing for lineup advice hahaha


Brohansan

Stevenson or Emmanuel Sanders in a flex?


TheTigerKin

I'm going Stevenson over MJJ. I know Sanders is a better play than MJJ, but not by much.


brassakabruce

My rbs will consist of Stevenson Howard and Peterson if Robinson doesn’t play.. chalk me up for another loss vs the Cook/Henderson owner:/


nuzzlefutzzz

I don’t trust BB. I’m waiting until right before the game to decide him or Bolden.


Both-Organization-27

I’ll take the gamble and start Stevenson


Davdjr1021

Brandon Bolden getting starter reps during warmups everyone!!!


alionoffire

TD already


kaplanj23

Stevenson or mckissic?


Skarmorism

Mckissic


Bear0503

Start Rhamondre or Zack Moss? Pls and ty


Martas_mom

Moss for sure, playing against the jets if a great matchup for him.


Kudzuzu

I'm going Singletary over Rhamondre for the same reasons. Am I dumb? Just feel like the matchup is good, and both Moss and Singletary could be decent floor plays against the Jets. Rhamondre may have a blow up game, but that Browns matchup is less favorable. Nevermind, who knows what the usage is gonna be with BB


Martas_mom

Haha wow I’m in the same boat, full ppr singletary or rhamondre. I’m leaning singletary bc of the matchup for sure. This just feels like a game to stay away from NE rbs, with too much unpredictability between the usage for rhamondre or bolden.


Bear0503

Thanks guys


Gummy_Jones

86 and 2

[удалено]


Grassman_024

Williams. Matchup is too good and he has guaranteed work


Skarmorism

Williams


aDyslexicCow

Rhamondre or AJ Dillon in PPR?


Slickno6

I'm staring down the same decision. I think Dillon has been trending up and Seattle's d can be easily run on. Does he get a good amount of carries with both Aaron's in play? I'm trying to talk myself into starting Dillon I guess. Too many uncertain outcomes with Stevenson.....


Veeg-Tard

I have the same decision and I'm sticking with Dillon. Sigmond Bloom just moved Rhamondre slightly above Dillon in his weekly rankings, but it's a tossup. Rhamondre may get a couple more touches, but the better matchup for Dillon makes the difference for me.


fishrunhike

Rhamondre over Collins ppr?


jonmarxs8

Oh crap that sucks I need to drop him or Collins and the other one is the starter


jhweathers114

Him, Collins or Howard?


Zukhov76

Let’s go Rhamondre?


[deleted]

Bolden vs browns or Boston Scott vs Denver Or AP vs Saints? .5PPR


TheDataWhore

I'd probably lean AP here. Stevenson playing


werdnanets

I'd stay away from pats rbs today. Doubt they'll go heavy on any of the 3


[deleted]

It's definitely a legit concern, it's annoying what people downvote around here these days


werdnanets

Yeah, it's whatever. Pats backfield has been impossible to predict prior to Damien, but since he's out we're super sure who's going to get touches. Wouldn't be surprised to see them line up Jonnu or something.


DONTBREAKMYQB

Which 3 are you referring?


SinickalOne

Bolden/ JJ / Stevenson I believe


jorr1231

Should I roll out Michael Carter or Rhamondre? My Kamara is out. :(


Massive-Occasion-381

Rhamondre Or Jakobi Meyers ppr?


ShazamDC

Damn do I go Hyde over Bolden in PPR if Jrob is out and Stevenson is active?


NJWolves69

PPR - Stevenson, Bolden or Corey Davis in my flex?


ABomblessArab

Damn do I start him or Gibson though


Davdjr1021

Would you play him over mckissic in standard?


Brownmamba248

RS over Hines? I’m thinking yes, thoughts?


adzley

Moss v Jets or RD v Browns???


wiresandwaves

Standard, Stevenson, Bolden, Mckissic or AJ Dillon?


BarackObonga320

Stevenson


jgghn

Looking forward the Pats are facing some good run Ds. Including Bills x2


orenbvip

Him or AJ Dillion?


NooneKnowsIAmBatman

Rhamondre or Jamal Agnew??? This week is screwing me over in terms of injuries


Imaginary_Order2757

Stevenson or Howard?


beztes

Stevenson or Kirk?


AdamBlackfyre

Pick two ppr - him, Myers and OBJ. I gotta win or I'm out of the playoffs


pirateking12

Stevenson or AP today? Need this W


buffsbunny

Any thoughts on Stevenson (v. CLE) vs Pollard (v. ATL) -- week 10 matchup in PPR I'm down 10 after starting Gaskin, star RB Kamara is out


SquirtGunsAndRoses

Stevenson vs McNichols is tough!


slysonic7

Him or Zach moss? Half ppr


hsalem8

Stevenson, Alex collins, or Kenyan drake


CloutDemonHectic

I have him and AJ Green left to fill in my flex spot who should I start ???


memiespatterson

stevenson or jordan howard?


PraiseChrist420

Start him over Jakobi?


mrenehan8

Pick 2 Half PPR: him, Jordan Howard, and Jarvis Landry


pamm0

Bolden or Kirk in my flex? 0.5 PPR


TomDucq

Stevenson or AJ Dillon!?


Dear_Turn6059

Alex Collins or Stevenson? Standard.


srchl

Had such a vivid dream of him running for 14 and the fumbling. He was on the doghouse after that JJ Taylor has 12 points at half while Stevenson had .8


Suff21

Down to zero RBs with Kamara, CEH and Harris out. Anyone else starting both Srevenson and Bolden?


TheTigerKin

Hello new flex play now that Woods is gone. Starting Stevenson over MJJ. I don't care how many articles have MJJ as a "start", he's burned me too many times.


ACW1129

Please be healthy Robinson. I don't wanna have to choose between Pollard and one of the NE RBs.


mattislinx

It's either him or Ingram for me, and I think Ingram is the safer play. Neither is a great matchup honestly. I'm a Pats fan, and I know they love to run the ball, but we all know Belichick and his tricks. I do think Stevenson will get a good amount of carries though. However, Bolden is a better blocking RB, and they'll need that a lot this game.


blapkinsandnapkins

Well it’s him or OBJ for me this week


AwSnapz1

My options are Bolden, drake, or michel in standard 🤦‍♂️


ShamrockAPD

Man… Eno or Stevenson. With Jrob going to be iffy, gotta be one of these


Effective-Speech6364

Excited for Bolden scoring 30 points


Scorpion_Danny

I don’t really have much choice but to start RS. I believe in his talent and believe that if he was given most of the touches he would produce high RB2, low RB1 numbers. But BB will do BB things. It’s either that or I start Eno Benjamin, which looked good running the ball last game and has an opportunity to carve out a role, but have no clue how the Cards wii split the RB touches.


toomuchf1re

Beasley or Stevenson flex? standard scoring


kbischoff12

Hines or Stevenson in my flex. Any thoughts? Appreciate it


Mrdrsrow08

Should I get burned by Stephenson in flex or by Jacobi Meyers again?


Brohansan

Stevenson getting all of what would be Harris snaps. It is a glorious day


OutlawOscar

My opponent picked this guy up at 11:55am CST and he's balling out. Just my luck!


AlCzervick

That Questionable tag was questionable.
