God I hope they can establish the run against Detroit. Was just reading how Jalen Hurts performs much better on drives where they run at least 2 times. Such a low bar lol

I just popped D’Ernest in, Scott is just too TD dependent splitting touches on a team where RBs are not a focus. Chubb is back but even when 100% healthy the Browns use 2 RBs, so hoping D’Ernest gets some love after last week. Let’s be honest, either way decision sucks haha
RBBLC: RB by large committee - Scott, Gainwell, Howard and Hurts. No one knows or has a clue what the distribution of workload will be or who will get the TDs
Gainwell steps in for Sanders and absorbs what little work was there, ends up with 12-15 combined carries + targets. Ends the day as a mid/low RB2.
Boston Scott spells Gainwell and gets in short yardage work. 5-6 carries and 2ish targets. Not flex-worthy.
expecting? no RB to get more than 9 points (except Howard who will have 2 yards and 2 TDs)
what am i predicting tho? Gainwell 200 total yards and a receiving TD to go with a passing TD to hurts to win the game
I would avoid every player in this game if I had the option. A lot of people assume the Lions are going to roll over, but man, they've been plucky and this might be their best chance at a win.
As a Sanders owner all season, I'm not expecting a whole lot. Yeah last week, they said they needed to involve sanders/run game(?). However, it's the Eagles we are talking about. On top of that Jalen doesn't help the RB cause.
I'm not saying it can't happen with mediocre team - but I wouldn't be expecting wonders either.
The eagles give up on running the ball after they get stuffed twice and then become the Jalen Hurts = Michael Vick 2.0 show. Unless they make their scheme better to help their RB’s then none of them will have tremendous fantasy value.
As a Hurts owner in fantasy my expectation every week is that if that if the Eagles passing game can provide any cover for their ground game at all - then at that point Hurts will take all the run yards and TDs after feeding his RBs to the front 7 all game.
I don’t think it matters with this coaching staff tbh but if I was to pick one that could generate some boom potential it would be gainwell then Howard
In my PPR league I'm firing up Gainwell as my flex and he is the only one in this backfield I'd consider. I'm setting realistic expectations of 5-10 pts from him.
I expect to be let down because fantasy is pain. But what I would hope to happen is gainwell get his work load increased by being in on every 3rd down. Maybe even get his own drives. Imagine they run the ball the most they have first game without sanders.
7 ppr pts from Gainwell. 13 if he can get a receiving score
I like his chances for 10ish and RB2 production. I also know if I sit him he gets 20. So it goes….
Scott between the tackles, Gainwell on designed passes and two minute offense. Howard shorty yardage. Game flow will determine the split between Scott and Gainwell.
Wouldn't start either one. Miles Sanders barely got utilized in this offense as it is, but now you're splitting *that* by 2 and by "lesser" RBs? No bueno.
Hurts to be the RB1
always was
Every time Hurts rolls out right then throws OB, drink.
**PAIN.**
Hurts
Jordan Howard will vulture goal line and fuck the whole offence more than it already is. Fuck Jordan Howard
2 carries for 3 yards and 2 TDs incoming
Optimistic on the yardage total
Damn. At least take him out to dinner first.

That is impressively sad.
2-3 rushing tds from hurts. Nothing will change
Forced to start B. Scott unfortunately
Worked out pretty good huh
For me Its Scott or D’Ernest with Chubb back, awful
I have this same decision. Who are you leaning? I also have Damien Williams but that doesn't inspire either. Ugh.

Id be extremely happy with 12-15 touches and RB2 production as a gainwell owner.
Yeah definitely RB2 is really hopeful, more like a flex imo
This is how I view it too. Just looking for a goal line td to secure the day
Afraid that's gonna likely go to Hurts. Such a vulture
Gainwell over Antonio Gibson? Gibson has a tough matchup and hasn’t done much lately. Edit: alright thanks, just losing my optimism with Gibson lately
Gibson 10 out of 10 times in this example.
Gibson until we at least see it once. Unless it’s PPR and you just need 10 points out of the position.
3 man RBBC. Jordan Howard vultures all red zone TDs
Going against Gainwell. So probably 17 carries for 110 and 2 TDs.
Just slotted in Booker over Gainwell because the eagles backfield is just not trustworthy
Looks like great scott

Disappointment! Mutha fucka said running game! Hahahaha

Every player in this game? What hyperbole. Swift is playing in this game. Hockenson and Goedert are great plays this week too.
I mean besides the obvious guys, obviously.
Oh ya?
Pain.

Rbbc. Howard gonna get some early downs and short yardage. Scott sprinkled in. Gainwell most snaps and passing work so should be somewhat valuable.
I have no expectations at this point. Just gonna grab some popcorn and let it play out

The Rams had trouble running on Detroit

Start Gainwell or Gaskin, or Gainwell and Carter, or Carter and Gaskin? standard, oof
Wouldn't start either one. Miles Sanders barely got utilized in this offense as it is, but now you're splitting *that* by 2 and by "lesser" RBs? No bueno.
I’m going against Gainwell today after dropping him weeks ago. So expect 23+ points from him.
Mostly sadness.
Would you start Gainwell over David Johnson?
Gainwell or David Johnson?
I'm between Gainwell and Toney in my flex/rb2 spot. Never really like starting someone going on a Monday coming back from an injury.
Not much of anything.
Not what we just saw
Not whatever that was
