This is the dilemma I am facing. In full PPR, Hines may very well be the best bet. 

 

Hines is the only one I'd feel comfortable starting. And that's in full PPR.

Feels like a major desperation move to start him with Wilkins healthy and expect 10+ pts. All comes down to your other options. Oh yeah, it's also Thursday night where nothing ever works out.

Thursday nights ,have not been good to me at all this year

If Rapoport is reporting it, I am doubting it.

Might just be calling Williams the starter to keep everyone else in the pecking order the same.

Yeah, I wouldn't read too much into him being named the starter because nothing has been said about his usage.  Will he be the main back or in a committee?

[WaiverLooter 931]

The bigger advantage for Williams is that he's not the one coming off an injury. Reinjury is definitely a concern for Wilkins. Smells like a Conner situation all over again. But Williams is still definitely a big risk start.

League. Winner. Let's face it, Mack has never looked good. With that O-line, 120 yards 2 tds tonight minimum. 

So much fail in this post

My theory is, the coaching staff feels the same way about Williams as we do when we find an unknown player that has a game. You can bet that having the insight to spot talent in a player that all 31 other teams rejected is highly satisfying to the colts coaching staff and they will want to showcase that talent in prime time. Williams, meanwhile is having himself an Eminem 8 mile moment where he is going to leave his dirty spaghetti barf shirt on the field. You only get one chance.  Wilkins?  What you talking bout Wilkins!  Wilkins will go 7 for 16 yards while Williams does a 19 for 142-2. Plus 37 yards receiving.

I'm rolling him out over James White and Guice this week in full PPR. He looked like Aaron Jones last week behind that line. All  we need is one touchdown. Lets GOOO!!!

“League Winner” 😂

[JoeJoe88 1,056]

Started him in one league but couldn't quite pull the trigger in the other.  He looked pretty good out there.  The TD run was a thing of beauty.  Really did not expect him to get the amount of touches he did, and 3 receptions to boot.  Take your time, Marlon.

Except Mack may be back next week

Roto blurb writers have salty bias most of the time. Everyone is a plodder if they aren't a known quantity at RB.

A few years ago this guy nearly stole McCoy's job. And he was a legitimate sleeper candidate. I forget what the hell happened to him, but here we are.

Didn’t seem super explosive, but love that volume behind that line. 
 

Haven’t watched a colts game this year, but hopefully they usually do a better job of not being completely predictable, which would help his efficiency. 
 

Thank you kind JW sir!

I remember he got a DUI at some point when he was on the Bills

[devaster 4,342]

Plodders don't score TD's like the one he had. Broke a couple tackles and showed the burst to get to the edge and punch it in. He looked great all night and when there was room to run he got chunk yards. He had a number of runs where he got positive yards out of nothing. And he was making tacklers miss at the 2nd level.

[SkinsChargersFan 3,248]

Great game, but his next 3 opponents are the Titans (19th), @Bucs (30th) & @Saints (31st).
 

*(fantasy ppg allowed to RBs).  

 

Congrats to all who started him tonight, but this could be his best game. Prepare accordingly.
