so here it whats left, since i'm 6th on the waiver wire i dont get my hopes up high to either get Spiller or Morris
Maybe time to pick up mendenhall ?

Spiller is a no brainer, next look at Morris, but by next week Shanny might be starting someone else, still a good pickup in my opinion. I think Dwyer continues to get more playing time even though Mendy is coming back. My sleeper would be J. Rodgers, had a nice first week and I think by mid season you will see him un seat Turner as the starting back in Atl.

i wont come close to getting spiller or morris, you think rodgers ? i looked at his snap count since he is getting the hype from everywhere, but played only 36 snaps total out of 54, 25 on offense and 11 on special teams

Spiller is obvious, make your claim and see what happens.
Beyond that, I agree that if you're looking for a sleeper then your man is Jacquizz Rodgers, especially if you're in a PPR league. I think he takes over as the starter halfway through and starts producing right in time for the playoffs. Turner is done.
If you're looking short-term then I guess it's time to saddle up with Mike Shanahan, although you'd probably prepare yourself for some disappointing outings, as he is notorious for his fickle nature when it comes to RBs.Alex13 likes this. -
so if you had to chose between brown and rodgers ?

Personally I would take brown since he is guaranteed carries. Rodgers probably has more long term upside but you won't be able to start him until he takes over for Turner

I agree with 86. Brown is the one guy on that list who is getting the burn long term in all probability. Spiller or Morris (if he can stay out of Shanahans doghouse) could be the best upside plays but Spiller is only a short term fix as Jackson is back in 3 weeks and Shanahan is fickle as mentioned. I disagree with the notion that Rodgers will unseat Turner this year; Turner may be a plodder but he adds an element of toughness to a finesse team that badly needs his bruising running style. Rodgers is a nice fantasy player but Turner is the better back for what that team needs IRL. Mendenhall if hes available is automatically my #1 choice if hes available but I dont see him listed. If Mendenhall is available Id grab him and Brown....

yeah mendenhall is there, he is just not listed because i made the list in order of scoring average...so mendenhall and brown..hmmm ok

on a sidenote who do you cut to get him david wilson or deangelo williams ?
-
well, as expected i didnt get morris or spiller, staying put for now but just got offered Darren Sproles for Mike Wallace
My RB are DeMarco Murray, David Wilson, Deangelo Williams
My WR are AJ Green, Roddy White, DeSean Jackson, Mike Wallace
What you think, if i make this deal i would drop David Wilson and could pickup Randall Cobb or Kenny Britt or the one week wonder Kevin Ogletree ? -
Pick up Mendenhall and stash him on the bench for a little, once he gets back into the swing of things he's gonna be a solid starter to get you to the playoffs coming late into the season.
