Bowman 76 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Not thrilled about it, but rolling him out there due to injuries. For comparison, my other option is D.Harris vs. SF. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tomei7 591 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Drop City🌃 for me. I honestly see no upside even if he was the clear #1 In this backfield. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chippa 1,335 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 sure I'll hold onto him. The o-line is healthy, they arent facing a run defense as tough as new orleans, once ekeler comes back, he maintains his role. fine bye week filler 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LacesOut 69 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I'd definitely not be dropping him. He's not looked great lately but until there's more information about Chargers backfield it's too early to give up on him for me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EaglesRocker97 210 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I can't see dropping him this early in 12 or 14-team leagues. This is exactly the kind of game you've been holding him for if you drafted him, so dropping him now would be a waste in my eyes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mar1kle 1,037 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 He is a quality bye week replacement. A league winner if/when Jackson gets hurt. I still believe folks are overly optimistic on Eckler's return timeline 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, he did average over 5 YPC, and they were trailing most of the game. I agree, though, that this would seem to be a make-or-break week for fantasy purposes. If he puts up another dud, it might be time to cut bait, depending on your situation. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigBlueMachine 52 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 While his role has not really changed much IMO (he is still mostly the early down back and mostly the GL back), I *think* the highest outcome that folks were hoping for is probably gone now. If you were holding him to see if he took all the work with Eckler out, the answer is no and that ceiling is gone. If you were holding him in case he is the last man standing, you now only have a few weeks left for that to play out with one injury (Jackson). Once Ekeler rejoins, you need two injuries. If you were holding him hoping Herbert would somehow require a strong early down run game, that ceiling also seems to be gone as he is slinging it (albeit mostly to Allen). Net net it feels like if you are holding in the hopes of him becoming an RB1 or even consistent 2, the odds are decreasing. If you are holding to use as a flex or for major RB depth, I suppose that ceiling is still there. glta 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PlayTheWaivers 1,886 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 League winner talk....lol. You actually have to be somewhat competent to be a league winner. You also have to have a good running game and the Chargers may not have one right now without Ekeler. He's a drop in 12 teamers if you need someone to improve your team RIGHT NOW 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You should post this hot take over in his thread to let everyone there know. BTW the injury report today has JJ on it - may want to share that also with the folks over on the Jackson thread. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
