I mean I got Jordan Howard and Donta Foreman rostered and it's 2021, sad group on the waiver wire.

I did not want to waste a Waiver spot on any of them.  So after Wednesday waivers the pickings were even more slim.  So I took a Raven RB that has been getting carries. Then I took Bell after bye week in case Ravens work him in more and a Ravens RB who got carries early in season.  So yes, 3 Ravens RBs in hopes one of them gets some carries.  This done early Wednesday morning after waivers had ended.  Not really the 3 that I had wanted.  So after a few hours I reconsidered. The 2 Tampa RBs are doing better than Bell or the last Ravens RB that I took. Jones and Bernard were just better add ons, and maybe there because of Tampa bye week.  Bell has done nothing so far and Williams does little. So I dumped those 2 Ravens, also with Murray coming back to Ravens.  I added Tampa Jones and Bernard who do more, and if Fournette would get injured, they would get even more action, but they are putting up good Free Agent numbers now.  The Tampa bye week matters little, since Henry is probably out for the season.  I may get some help in Barkley maybe not back yet, because I have Giants back-up getting playing time.  I also have Denvers top rookie pick RB.  

Now none of these replace Henry, but I'm doing what I can due to his injury.  Yes, the Free Agent list is limited, but RB's are always hard to get in season no matter what Fantasy League I've been in over the years.  I'm willing to play by any rules and I have no problems how this League is structured. Had Henry NOT went on IR, I would have not been scrambling to add RBs.  So I did add a Raven RB Freeman putting up good weeks lately, and 2 Super Bowl Tampa RBs Ron Jones and Gio Bernard putting up good numbers.  None of them are first round draft picks, but there are no first round draft pick RBs in Free Agency. With Henry injured, I made some moves and feel I added the 3 best RBs that were left in free agency as of Wednesday. 

I do have a #3 waiver spot still, so IF an NFL RB breaks out in free agency, I am sandbagging that waiver spot for any good RBs that start to have a good second half of season in free agency.   LeVon Bell name does not make up for the fact he has done little lately, and neither has Ty Williams, so I quickly decided the 2 Tampa RBs on Bye Week would be better adds than Ravens bottom of the bucket RBs, At This Time.  I could add that LeMar Jackson does much of Ravens running, and that is not the case with Tom Brady of Tampa.

Again, Henry getting injured forced moves of desperation.   But I don't Quit.  I'm trying to win some weeks, without Henry. This is how it should be, because when people QUIT in Fantasy Leagues, they hand out easy Wins that ruin it for others in The League.

So with Henry inured, I added RB's out of desperation. 

I still have Denver top rookie pick Williams and Giants Booker replacing Barkley for now.  I added Patriots Bolden and Ravens Freeman who have been good last three weeks. I added Tampa Ron Jones and Gio Bernard on Bye Week because Jones has rushed for yards and Gio has put up decent Fantasy Points, mostly weeks 3, 5 and 8.   I still have Henry on IR if somehow he comes back this season.  Without the quality of RB as Henry, I'm going with a quantity of RBs....I decided not to go with LeVon Bell who for a while has been all talk and no action. He averages 1 or 2 yards a carry, not Superstar Stats by any means.  Denver rookie Williams, Giants Booker, Patriots Bolden, Ravens Freeman, Tampa Jones and Gio Bernard all have upsides in a Running Back By Committee for now.   Denver Williams and Giants Booker start for me Today in week 9.  Week 10 might be different.  Yahoo giving points predictions is on top of who is being replaced or who is getting some playing time, so their prediction help a little.
