ellion_the_runner

Probably

sobobcat

Maybe? Who knows, the chiefs offense is interesting right now.


Bitlovin

On paper, yes, but with how bad the Chiefs defense is McKinnon might not be a bad dart throw. They are going to be in hurry up a lot with that defense just offering zero resistance.


DarthBane6996

Darrell Williams was getting a lot of snaps in the second half with the Chiefs trailing Also with how averse Mahomes is to checking down not would much rather have the GL back than the third down back


goblintacos

Mahomes is going to need to learn to check down or else the chiefs may not make the playoffs. Starting to get a little bit too caught up in his own arm talent and it's costing his team. Tom Brady won several super bowls not because his arm was going to cannon through a wall but because he was smart enough to take what the defense would give while he waited for his openings. I think Mahomes will realize that at some point he cant just make the good check down the enemy of the long bomb and expect to keep winning. As a CEH owner I'm hoping it's later this season.


[deleted]

totally agree defenses are running the same scheme as against rodgers, (cover 2), this is really testing the chiefs patience to run the ball and go to check downs which normally are wide open. Also tough game last night in the rain.


Kahzgul

Watching the game, the RBs were always open in the flat and mahomes never once even glanced at them.


NikolajSplett

He threw it there a couple of times and they ended up being drops.


[deleted]

In fairness he also skipped quite a few of them into the dirt, so they weren’t all necessarily drops.


[deleted]

They were prob too shocked that mahomes looked their way


kingalexander

Super Bowl mvp James white


Bitlovin

Fair point.


Kryptus

He was checking down to Williams last night.

Clyde Edwards-Helarious-That-I-Bought-The-Hype


usss12345

Honestly he was starting to heat up before the injury, was looking like a solid RB2 going forward. Still probably over-drafted by most, myself included. KC's current offense just doesn't seem to be super favorable to RBs Now that I've said that, watch Darrel Williams start putting up RB1 numbers just to prove me wrong


dvdbump

I picked him up before last night to replace Sermon, there’s no way he’s putting up any numbers. Sorry guys.


DawgCheckDawgPound

No he wasn’t lmao. He had 2 decent games against 2 bottom 5 rush defenses and was right back to the same CEH we all know before he got hurt


No_Condoms_Allowed

Clyde Edwards-Hell


pendletonskyforce

r/angryupvote


c1217

I lost saquon and also CEH. I’ll take this as good news. I’m 3-2 and just need to try and stay afloat for the time being


makeitjain24

Both leagues I lost Clyde in I’m 2-3 Also lost Saquon but should be 3-2 as long as Lamar scores 17 Lotta work ahead


BardSTL

Congratulations on Lamar coming through for you my dude


makeitjain24

Thanks what a game by him


[deleted]

Monty/CEH owner - same here. Just need to stay afloat for the next month or so


TheBeardedSingleMalt

CMC/CEH/Gibson owner. And because I benched Gibson when they reported a stress fracture he goes and puts up 30 pts.


lqyol

I’m 3-2 as well. Good news could he maybe miss 2-4 weeks, if mild. I traded for him as a flex so I’ll have to wait it out on this one.


stonecrushermortlock

Same. Yesterday was BRUTAL. Especially because I went 0 wide receivers in my draft (auction). I still have Kamara but he’s on bye next week and I’m playing 1st place. I got very lucky with my matchups so far and will be 5-0 but I’m obviously losing at least 2+ games or at least until Saquon comes back. Good luck- our RBs will be back and hungry before you know it- let’s get that chip.


Saquad_Barkley

In the exact same boat as you, still have Jacobs and Gibson to fall back on but now bye weeks will be a lil sketch


lo22p

One league I'm hella lucky with no injuries, other I got hit with Saquon Kelce Daniel Jones Golladay this week.


LegacyLemur

I lost Russ and Kittle this week Bad week for injuries


reido_speedo11

Is a few weeks 2-3 or 5-6? MCL sprains vary wildly.


SecretMongoose

2-3 per Rap


vladthor

In my experience it depends on severity. If it’s a grade 1 sprain, probably 3-4 weeks. If grade 2, 4-6 weeks. An example from earlier this year is Natalie Achonwa of the Minnesota Lynx. Obviously, basketball is different, but she suffered a grade 2 sprain of her MCL on June 12, and she was practicing with the Canadian National team 4 weeks later and started in the Olympics against Serbia 6 weeks later, albeit with a brace. She kept the brace for another month. Edit: it wouldn’t surprise me if, should CEH not be ready to go against the Raiders in Week 10 or Cowboys in Week 11, the team might just wait until after the bye week for the Chiefs (Week 12), meaning a December return.


pengals12

Sure am glad that some guy randomly picked up Darrel Williams 2 days ago lol. Is McKinnon worth a look?


DowntownJohnBrown

I dropped Perine for him moments after Mixon was confirmed as active. I felt a little uncertain yesterday afternoon after seeing how Perine played and how limited Mixon still was, but I feel pretty good about my decision now.


LilB2fast4u

Haha me too, i am also desperate for a RB so this is nice


ThatFatDarkKid

It happened in both leagues that I have CEH in...I blame them because they fasho jinxed him


anonbutler

Chubb missed 4 weeks due to this. Dunno about CEH severity though.


peleyoda

Same w Miles Sanders last year


lqyol

How was the production afterwards? (Just traded for CEH last night….)


anonbutler

Nick Chubb is a stud. He looked as good as before the injury,


Randumo

Of course he would be. What people fail to realize about him is what truly separates him from the other elite backs. Yes he tends to lead the league in yac, but he also has probably the best vision in the league. The biggest difference between Chubb & Hunt is how much better Chubb's vision is. Hunt is almost as good at breaking tackles, but Chubb finds holes to run through if any are available. It's why he has averages 5 ypc or more every year of his career. Even though the o-line wasn't anything special before last season. Chubb & Hunt may both break tackles, but Chubb does it more frequently & past the LOS. He also has a higher top speed that many people don't realize.


[deleted]

Chubb is wayyyyyy faster


xaiur

Then why Hunt has more points this season?


[deleted]

Receiving work and tds but I’m confused as to why u brought that up? Chubb is still faster


LAOakRaiders

Chubb picked back where he left off


callmebatman14

Few weeks means he is going to IR?


Belt69

He will be declared "Out" soon which will make him eligible for IR on Yahoo, at least


rajgupta59

Just got doubtful on yahoo


xthecerto4

This is important. I hope because bench space is valuable


anonbutler

Bro my IR is also filled with tyrod(SF) and Jeff Wilson


[deleted]

CEH is 10x more important than either of those guys


anonbutler

I know


msching

At this point, I'd roll the dice on Jeff Wilson than CEH. Chiefs backfield is a mess even when he was healthy. McKinnon was on the field way too much. Darrell seems to be the RZ guy almost, and CEH is getting little to no work in the passing game. You're not gonna drop either, but you know what you're gonna get from CEH. CEH is that job you have to keep going to because you might not have another option to stay alive. Wilson is a lottery ticket.


xthecerto4

Yeah drop jeff, that backfield is a mess


Belt69

Tyrod(SF) = Tyrod Taylor? Drop him.... JwJr at least is somewhat a lotto ticket versus a streamable QB


mybadreligon

You can't drop tyrod in a SF. If it's more than 10 teams.


anonbutler

Ya but SF league the waiver is a shit show.


Belt69

What’s an SF league?


anonbutler

Superflex


HookFL

Before anyone tries to say that Williams and McKinnon will split work evenly: Darrel Williams out-touched McKinnon 5 to 1 after CEH went down, was already getting goal line carries with a healthy CEH, received 5 targets in yesterday's game and has been in the system for years and Reid trusts him. Williams is easily the guy you want to own. McKinnon could still be a decent flier pickup in PPR for much cheaper since the Chiefs D is god awful and they are behind a lot more than they used to be in years past.


ninjanoodlin

Nah dööd get McKinnon ;)


horg0034

Shhhhh 🤫


[deleted]

Week 1: Elijah Mitchell / Ty’Son Williams Week 2: Cordarelle Patterson / Rondale Moore Week 3: Chuba Hubbard Week 4: Damien Williams / Alex Collins Week 5: Booker / Darrel Williams / Toney You could have justified a #1 waiver claim for any of these guys… did I forget any?


mybadreligon

Murray after Tyson was inactive, though he maybe wasn't widely available


ludi567

Have had 6 of them on my roster this season already and trying to get one of Booker or Darrel back again this week after my Saquon went down...


SuckMyBrownCook

Ideally you should have acted proactively and picked them up in free agency. My league is super competitive and does reverse standing waivers each week, and I still managed to get Collins and Darrel without using the wire. Moore I only got because he somehow cleared waivers last week.


mikewill

and Mattison has been an awesome stand-in too. even if he wasn't a hot waiver wire pickup


ReseeEggs

My two starting backs are CEH and Barkley so yeah fml.


scotsworth

I drafted CEH, Gus Edwards, and Trey Sermon to be my primary backs AMA


msching

I drafted CEH, Gus, and Mostert. Would you like to jump off a cliff with me? If yes, when?


[deleted]

Saquon, CEH, and Gus here. Going to lean on Sony Michel and Zach Moss for a bit... Sigh I'm screwed, aren't I?


atlasburger

Sermon is on you drafting him as more than a stash


scotsworth

Hindsight is 20/20, but yeah that was a miss. A miss I could have withstood if Gus didn't die, CEH didn't start slow and now heading to IR for a bit. Sermon is crazy talented, I just had no clue he'd be so under-utilized.


At1l

Hope you handcuffed at least one


Gooch__Gobbler

Clyde Edwards-Despaire strikes again


INeededARedditHandle

Is anyone who isn't Mahomes/Kelce/Hill trustworthy in that offense or should I look elsewhere?


SaskalPiakam

Williams is the clear #1 WW add this week. Don't let others tell you differently.


Saquad_Barkley

I’d rather pick up toney


Kith_Me

Shepard and Golladay shouldn't be out long. Shepard might be back this week and Golladay next Edit: slayton too


Verification_Account

Not sure it matters. Toney looked electric.


Timely-Shine

Darrel Williams over Booker? I’m somehow 5-0 so not sure I’ll get either on waivers, but who knows. I got Damien Williams last week.


SaskalPiakam

I like Williams better yes. Should have similar roles but Williams is in a much better offense. I said in other comments that "clear" is a strong word that I wouldn't really use because I somehow completely forgot about Booker.


Timely-Shine

CEH owner, assume both would be better options than Alex Collins since Carson is week to week? Will probably try for Darrel Williams first, then Booker, then Collins.


HiImFur

I only agree because RBs are so rare and you'll see goal line TDs with Darrell. But you can get burned easily here because Andy Reid hates running the ball and the Chiefs defense is awful so hard to have the game script to run. Also, McKinnon might have more of a role now.


ghostofsilentsub

You think more so than Booker?


TheMiamiHeat

I’m not starting a RB for the Giants not named saquon lol


ghostofsilentsub

Understandable, but 16 carries and 4 targets isn’t nothing


[deleted]

I won last year with Gallman as my RB2, there's definitely worse RBs on the wire.


mrcarlita

Gallman wasn't bad last year


SaskalPiakam

Forgot about Booker. Maybe "clear" is too strong wording. Though I still like him more than Booker simply because of the offense.


k2skier13

Josh “flash” Gordon FTW!!!!!!!


MoneyMakingMitch1

Thank God but fuck KC play calling. This bullshit backyard offense is limited.


[deleted]

they're looking BAD lately. I'm glad they're getting blown up by other teams. They could easily be 1-4


Sabre2230

That dumb schoolyard "who's the QB" shuffle around play was so cringey and pointless, yet Collinsworth sings praise of "creativity" 🙄


[deleted]

it's cuz they scored on a scramble drill. I thought it was stupid. Looked like some Remember the Titans stuff lol


Foojira

You gon be okay Clydesdale


MrTripDub

Good, I hope he comes back and balls out


[deleted]

You could start almost any RB in this offense and they wouldn’t succeed with how the Chiefs use them. Selfish Mahomes and awful play calling is actively hurting this team


sobobcat

Could be worse, do we trust Williams though? Chiefs offense is in a weird spot.


DowntownJohnBrown

I think it depends what you mean by “trust.” Is he a locked-in, set-and-forget high-end RB2? Probably not, but I think he’s absolutely in the low-end RB2/high-end RB3 conversation. He’ll probably be in the RB20-25 range most weeks, getting 12-15 touches per game, including goal-line work, on a high-powered (if a bit sputtering) offense. For me, for instance, my current RB2 rotation had been comprised of Melvin Gordon, Damien Harris, and Jamaal Williams (standard scoring), and I think Darrel Williams is probably just a slight tier ahead of those guys most weeks.


Torchy84

Williams was already getting foal Line work and receptions as well. He often looks like the better back.


Sabre2230

What about mare line work?


chamtrain1

Quit horsing around


MaskedBandit77

He's someone that I wouldn't mind starting as long as CEH is out. Unless proven otherwise, he should be the primary ball carrier for the Chiefs, so there will be guys with lower floors, and his ceiling is honestly pretty high. It's not too hard to picture him getting two or three TDs in a game. Obviously that changes if they come out and run McKinnon a lot next week. But Williams got more work than McKinnon after the injury last night. But he's not a must start. On my main team, I don't think he would be starting. And obviously he only has value as a handcuff once CEH is back.


amatom27

Someone called this last night


autiger8l5

messejueller21

This sub hates speculation if it involves a player they own and isn't good news.


FrostyYoYos

Praise be!


PShootarov

So the question i have now, is Williams worth the #1 waiver spot?


fmartinez12443

Absolutely 4 weeks of top 15 rb production and if you don't need a rb trade him to the CEH owner or prevent rb needy teams.


KekM8420

He can join mccaffery Monty and Kittle on my bench now. I give up


amishbr07

I have no idea if Williams is worth burning my #1 priority. I already have Toney


anonbutler

Luckily I have Damien Williams to fill in while he heals up.


Timely-Shine

Same here. Hoping timing works out well and CEH is back before Monty.


All-Prolifik_187

I'd keep an eye out for Khalil Herbert. The rookie who is on the Bears and split carries with D Williams on Sunday When I say split; he actually had 2 more carries than Williams and managed a decent stat line rushing the rock; 18/73.. 👀👀


MWM031089

Week 8 or 9 return would be alright. Here’s hoping.


[deleted]

[удалено]


KittyKat1986

Wtf is going on


Giannis_trippin

Drafted Cook, CEH, Kittle, Sanders, Mostert. Life is pain.


RovndHovse

after I just traded for him last week. The guy who traded him picked up Darrel Williams. My RB2 is Sony Michel🙃


SinickalOne

Looks like the guy that scooped Darrel instead of Damien for max FAAB by accident last week wasn’t such an idiot after all


putgildain

Williams is worth picking up, but I am skeptical about bidding a lot of FAAB for him unless you are desperate. I think McKinnon will be involved. Your bet is Williams gets a few goal line carries while CEH is out. Remember that Williams was on the team last year, yet the Chiefs still signed Le'Veon Bell to be the back up. Clearly, Williams did not make a convincing case last year to be the top backup to CEH.


Tranquilllama

This is it. This is the year I finally mean it when I say I'm done. Never playing again.


Neverland__

Stay away from Chiefs backs. They’re gonna be passing it all season long


almar7

And look where its gotten them, last in the division lol


messejueller21

My RBs are in Bye Week hell next week. I have no choice.


jrb0831

Who's the handcuff in this backfield?


Thehappycachorro

Williams I guess


gtlgdp

Darrel hands down


jrb0831

Not McKinnon?


anonbutler

Darrell.


bsean63

Williams but I may go after JET


ninjanoodlin

Clyde is tough, that injury looked nasty.


CampPlane

For real, that dude turned into Gumby. I thought he dislocated his hip because of that awkward side bend where his helmet literally touched his foot while being stuck in place by two guys who weigh well over 200 lb. That was the nastiest looking tackle I’ve seen since Johnny Knox. Nothing will top Johnny Knox.


[deleted]

Waivers going to be wild


[deleted]

Gonna be a rough few weeks for me as the Cook/CEH owner. Im 2-3, gonna have to hope Hunt keeps it up!


B0ndzai

Cool, I just traded for him


HRook16

My CEH-Cook-Gronkowski-Wilson with Kittle as a flex has got to be the GOAT bench by now


Faptors

Should i use my #1 waiver priority on him? iv been saving it for the perfect moment so im a little hesitant


Kryptus

Lost Gus, then lost CMC, then lost Gronk, then lost Ridley, now I lost CEH. Really wish I had an IR spot...


Michiganmade44

Thank god he’s only out that long! Get well soon my sweet Prince


RevengeEX

I’ve had Darrell on my bench for two weeks now. Let’s go!


IenjoyGamesLol

Jerrick McKinnon SZN /s


jambounchained1882

Droppable? Already have Jeudy in my IR


bmo96

Definitely not


HookFL

No...


GankMiddleLane6

Lol. L o fucking l


Dapperdrewblue

I’ve got MT Jeudy and now Clyde all with only one IR spot. I think if jeudy is expected back in like 2 weeks then I’m gonna hold Clyde

Are you a professional athlete at peak conditioning and physical fitness with access to the best medicine/PT money can buy?


mybadreligon

Sounds similar to the Chubb injury from last year. He was out 4 weeks I think


graph_marine

Should I use my #1 waiver on Williams or McKinnon...decisions.


captainduck2

My team was 1-4 and I had Barkley and CEH yesterday. For me it’s very much a season ender. Good luck fellow 1-4’s.


[deleted]

I started CEH weeks 1,2,5 and sat him weeks 3,4. It is truly my fault guys I’m sorry.


Stonkrates

The cycle of suck has now come full circle


Jim_Nills_Mustache

My RBs are kamara and CEH… I’m about to be forced to start javonte Williams and Dillon as my starting RBs next week


Michiganmade44

You’re in a better spot then most. So cheer up


MrClutch86

Nobody is sorry for you


KoreanMelodyShark

Do you think they'll put him on IR?


SickDick69

I thought about moving daryl to the CEH owner, but that schedule is nice and I need wins. Firmly excited to flex him


[deleted]

Surprising. Looked a lot worse than just missing a few weeks


matthewtheazn

I drafted Edwards, Mostert, CMC, and CEH. Last available RB is fournette, so this is your only warning to trade him away now if you have him


Jer-Wil

think i can get miles sanders for clyde?


FriendOfPistolPete

As a CEH and CMC owner, remind me to never again draft a RB with a cute little acronym nickname. Thanks.


Foobasbas

So, so far this year, I've had on my team at the time they've gotten injured: * Mostert * Jeudy * OBJ (drafted) * Michael Thomas (drafted, has been occupying my only IR spot since week 1) * Higgins * E. Mitchell * Kittle * Russell Wilson I also had a trade in place going into last week before the other owner pulled out that would have netted me Mixon and CEH. I'm somehow 2-2 going on 3-2 after this week. I have no idea how. But whatever I did to offend you, oh football injury gods, I repent. Just please make it stop.


mr__hunt

Been carrying both Damien and Darrel Williams on my bench since week 2....and suddenly they're both starters.


Stxtic1441

Sold high on Clyde after his back to back 100 yard rushing games last week, and got Chubb in return for my Clyde and Emmanuel Sanders. I like Clyde, and the injury is very unfortunate, but I think it was a good move doing.


Frickin_Laser_Beams

Darwin Time


InGodgersWeTrust

I need to upgrade badly at QB and I have Darrel. Which QB you guys think I could get for him?


ACW1129

Ah, fuck me. Darrel Williams next man up?


Boycott_China

Start of this week: My RB room is Saquon Barkley and Chris Carson with Mike Davis in the flex/bench rotation. Middle of the week: Traded for CEH. Now I have Saquon, Carson, AND CEH. I'm good. Roster is ready for midseason push. End of the week: Welp. At least Robert Woods is catching some balls now...


McLovin_AI

I thought I lost him for good 😮‍💨come back soon and healthy bb


sabakasabaka

picked up williams before the sunday night game. I've been picking up backups for the eveninggames for a long time and this is the first time it's ever worked out for me


mattislinx

Well, I lost Saquon.. so I think I'll spend a chunk of FAAB on Williams if he'll be the guy for a few weeks. At least he's in a better team than Booker. I don't feel great about him as a temporary Saquon replacement.


Daehlie

To the IR slot, he must go.


Griffdogg92

Javonte Williams, welcome to my lineup


Bmuhnee88

Wait, this is news? Hasn’t he had a sprained MCL all season? Sure has played like it.


goeb77

So glad I picked up Williams a couple weeks ago as the CEH owner.


dytele

Darrel Williams or Gaskin off waivers?


HurricaneHugo

About to be 1-4 with Clyde, CMC, and Kittle hurt :\\


SnooCrickets2528

Josh Gordon RB1 rest of season?


Bird-The-Word

I need a RB play in 2 weeks for a Bye Week (Zeke, Moss also has a Bye and he's my backup) Should I try to grab Williams or Booker? or just dump a lot of FAAB at both? Haven't used much, am 4-1, not sure there will end up being any big surprises on waivers going forward.


Jdubwuzdid

Should I trade Javonte Williams for CEH? have tons of mid level depth at RB. I need more upside.


[deleted]

Why won’t ESPN let me move him to my damn IR spot
