It was a mess, but I got a line-up for this week that I'm OK with. What makes it rough is Mixon and DeVonte Smith going on and off and on and off the IL each week. Add in Montgomery has a bye week so that left me with no starting RB's and add in Chase Brown will have a rough time against Baltimore D. So I had to make a ton of moves, especially this week. I used 2 waivers this week to get starting RB's. Williams who is suppose to be Broncos #1 RB this week, and the Ravens #2 RB who comes in for Henry and gets OK Fantasy points. Since Bengals D is so awful right now, the Baltimore #2 RB and their TE Lively who gets the most passes. Doubling down against Bengals D, one of these players could have a big game.
So I had to move Mixon off IL and end of week back to IL. So I had to add players to use as waiver trades to get 2 starting RB's that give me a chance this week. Since RB''s in free agency are few, trying to get 2 starting RB's took some moves. It will be so much easier if Mixon and Devonte Smith play again, and Montgomery comes off bye week. I lose Jefferson to bye week next week, but I can cover that with players I added and if some players come off IL.
A big mess, but I had to make moves to field a team against tough Harley Dogs. Otherwise I was sure to lose by 40 points. I hope people get healthy, because I really don't like making this many player drops and adds just to come up with a starting roster. I'm rooting for Bengals, but grabbing 2 Ravens to go against weak Bengals D was needed due to injuries and bye weeks. I need my #3 pick Mixon and my #4 pick Devonte Smith to get healthy, because they are making this harder than it should be, especially with others now getting bye weeks. Getting the Denver RB isn't bad, that waiver Saturday morning is far better than how little I had at RB with both starters out.
If you lose a WR or QB or other positions to IL, you can find OK help in free agency, but to not have either of your starting RB's is almost impossible to fill in F/A because good RB's are sandbagged so much on roster bench's for this very reason. It's why I added Rodgers to try to trade him or Darnold at QB for a RB, but that wasn't going to happen. The Denver RB Williams and the Baltimore #2 RB that catches a lot of passes, I can live with those 2 starting at RB this week as fill ins.
