I have Aaron Jones as my RB2 facing TB. Should I bench him in favor of James Robinson, Dameon Pierce, Antonio Gibson (my current flex)? Jones had a good game last week, but TB's defense is tough.

Just because Tampa has a good run defense doesn't mean he won't get involved in the screen game heavily. That's always been his strength instead of a traditional runner.

Yeah, my thought process is that if the running game isn't going, they're going to play Jones more due to his pass catching ability.

Good to know. He didn't do much week one, but the Packers coaches mentioned that they would try to utilize him more the following week and he was the highest scoring RB in my league last week. Playing against a bad Bears team probably helped last week though.

I bunked with Brian Ferentz in section 8 housing... he was on top.

No. That'd be the definition of overthinking your starters. If you have two guys that are basically equals, then I'd let schedule determine it. But Jones is way better than your other options. Gotta go with him regardless of the D he's up against.

Getting Dalvin or Henry would be good rn but I can't seem to come up with an offer I think anyone would buy. Feel like it has to be 2 players or its too obvious you're trying to buy low.

It's early but if I was a Henry owner I'd be concerned with what we've seen so far for a guy that most probably invested a top 5 pick for.

That's the time to sneak him away, but not sure how to structure it. I agree, he may not end up being worth the top 5 but I believe he's still going to get volume and is still a good RB1, just not a great one.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on Cole Beasley today? I’m thinking about starting him, could be a PPR machine
Seems risky, especially with Davis returning today. Just depends on your other options.

I guess my thinking is, he reached out to you. To me that means he needs this more than you do. I'd definitely not give up Higgins because then you're just going from being weak at RB2 to being weak at WR1, so what are you really gaining? With Gabe looking like he'll be back sooner rather than later, the most I'd offer is Deebo + Penny/Akers (give him the choice). I'd avoid giving up multiple WRs because then you'll just be running thin there.
What about higgins and devonta smith? I feel like I’d rather give up higgins than Deebo

Who do I start between gabe Davis, Garrett Wilson, devonta Smith, Gage, and Metcalf? Would probs start gabe Davis but he’s likely limited with his injury. Gage also may receive more targets with Evans and Godwin out but also is playing through hamstring issue. Wilson has been hot so considering starting him too. Also, anyone have thoughts on starting Rashaad penny vs cam akers today?

Deciding between starting Marquis Brown or Lazard this week. Lazard vs. Tampa and Brown vs Rams. Any suggestions? I'm leaning towards Brown with that game being more of a potential shootout while Tampa may be run heavy chewing clock vs Green Bay today.

Not looking good for Montgomery after yesterday. He's banged up with ankle and knee injuries and Herbert had a huge day in his place.
