can only roster 5 rb's , jennings is sitting agian and i have to keep him at this point.......
ball-hillman combo i have
alfred morris on bye

and i have mckinnon

so all i have to start this week is hillman

its a must win week injuries killed me and i just need in the playoffs , strong team if i get in, but another loss and im hurting, and my opponents team has lots of by players, i also hold alot of tie breakers for the playoffs, so this game gives me a bit of a cushion per say..........

so i could drop ball for like chris johnson at best........

or trade someone...........

no takers.......

the projections say i win by 35 without starting anyone in that spot? roll the dice?!??! I couldnt

finally i got bishop sankey for mckinnon straight up.............

im not horribly torn, at least sankey gets touches, and is getting more use.......mckinnon loses all his goal line looks and a lot of passing situations to asiata......and this is ppr........im on the sankey bandwagon

I'm far from being on the Sankey bandwagon, but given your situation, plus the very possible, if not probable, return of AP, I'd say that's not a terrible deal.
In your favor though. .Ball practiced today, and playing the Raiders.. wouldn't shock me if both Hillman and Ball get in the action enough to be a spot start. I mean if he's active, would it shock you if he got 5 for 20 and a short TD?

Considering you presumably got him off the scrap heap, I'm certain that your heart will mend in time. :bawling:

McKinnon was my sleeper pick of the year. And I'll most likely never use him once. Used Hill as a bye week replacement last week instead.

Wouldn't lose a lot of sleep over having to deal him. But why did you trade him for another RB if you HAD to trade him because of roster restrictions?

You've confused me SP.

Lord no. . Wouldn't even begin to consider him over Marty B.. but Sankey against Seattle..ehhhh, it'd be in the back of my mind if he finishes a full week of practice. And yes I did see what happened at the end of last year. .Ball pushed Moreno aside, who had been better than Hillman has been. . Just saying:yahoo:.

TREFF is not letting go of his Montee love easily.

I haven't cut him in any of the three leagues I own. But only because I haven't had to.

My optimism remains very low on him cracking a lineup for me.

Wtf was I thinking. ..still not a good match up though. . They contained Bell pretty easily, before Ben decided to take them out back and whip the crap outta them

Nope.. not giving up. Still convinced Hillman will scrwe himself sooner than later.

Wish I did. . I'm rolling with Tate, Sankey, an injured Ball (ouch), and a suspended AP.. those darn A leaguers holding RB's like they're gold.

They are gold.
Took most of the year for me to roster a decent pair of RBs. I drafted both Sanky and Tate and tossed them back in my search for my starting RBs. Now going with Alf and Ahmad- both obtained by trade.
