Let’s take a look.

LAC RB

Kalen Ballage: 73%, 18-68, 5-34 (6)
JKelley: 27%, 7-21
Troymaine Pope: 0%

I was flat out wrong. Kalen Ballage is a workhorse RB (until Austin Ekeler returns ~Wk13-14).

Joshua Kelley has fallen out of Coach Lynn’s graces. Grab Ballage.

CLE RB

Kareem Hunt: 58%, 19-104, 3-28
Nick Chubb: 43%, 19-126-1

Do you trade Hunt away off his current value? I wouldn’t blame you if you kept him. With Chubb healthy, Hunt has still been a very reliable RB2 with weekly upside.
But this is Chubb’s backfield.

DEN RB

Melvin Gordon: 56%, 11-46
PLindsay: 30%, 4-2

Phillip Lindsay, League Winner.

There, I said it. Grab him now.
MGordon’s trial is Dec 14th. If the NFL suspends him, you lose him for playoffs & it’s the Lindsay show.
DEN likely prefers he serves it now vs 2021 anyways.

MIA RB

Salvon Ahmed: 76%, 21-85-1, 1-5

Brian Flores has predominantly used one main RB each week. Ahmed likely has one more serviceable week before Myles Gaskin returns.

If you need a Wk11 RB, grab him.

Also — Jakeem Grant: 4 recs the past 2 weeks (8 on 10 tgts).

CAR WR

DJM: 552 snaps
RobbyA: 488
CSamuel: 375

DJM has exceeded Robby Anderson’s snap % every single week this year. Rhule & Brady prefers that DJM is on the field.
Holding on to this hope & believe DJM remains the WR1 in CAR despite Robby’s target share.

CHI WR

Wk7-10
ARob: 79%97%95%90%
Mooney: 81%93%87%92%

You NEED to invest in Darnell Mooney. He has run the most routes out of all 2020 rookie WRs (330 — CeeDee #2 at 311).
The kid is GOOD. You want him on your dynasty team.

GB WR

MVS: 89%92%

Wk9: 2-53-2 (4 tgt)
Wk10: 4-149-1 (6)

Allen Lazard is due back from IR, so unsure of how the situation will play out. MVS has made quite the impact the last 2 weeks & has earned the playing time.

Who are you taking?

SEA RB

Alex Collins: 48%, 11-43-1, 1-4
DeeJay Dallas: 33%, 2-8, 2-23
Carlos Hyde:

DeeJay Dallas hype didn’t last long. Alex Collins came off the practice squad to put up a nice line. Realistically, whoever the SEA RB is scores points. My bet for Wk11?

Carlos Hyde. FP today.

WAS RB

AGibson: 38%, 13-45-2, 4-20
JDMcKissic: 70%, 8-6-1, 7-43

Last week I talked about how good JD McKissic has been, & how he wasn’t going anywhere.
Sure enough, 15 targets in Wk10.

Great ppr play. https://twitter.com/jmthrivept/status/1326314499389841408

IND WR

Michael Pittman: 81%, 7-101 (8)

MPJ flashed his upside & the reason the Colts took him in the draft before Jonathan Taylor. He looks like a great play ROS.

Waiver Priorities: Wk11

1. JD McKissic
2. Kalen Ballage
3. Michael Pittman Jr
4. Salvon Ahmed
5. Carlos Hyde
6. Phillip Lindsay
7. Jakeem Grant

Check out this recent thread on the 2020 rookie WRs too. Interesting to see the difference between their catch rate (all targets) & their true catch rate (catchable targets). https://twitter.com/jmthrivept/status/1328831719823216640

Even more interesting to compare fantasy points per target & per route for all the rookies. https://twitter.com/jmthrivept/status/1328860170487693312
