My advice.

1. Don't overthink

2.  See rule #1

You can find your scoring in your league settings...but again,don't overthink.

I agree with Ham...take emotion out of it, and really there are 3 Dallas guys that matter.   Lamb who should go early, but if you take Hill, Jefferson or another top WR, no big deal.  Dak is a lower half starting QB,you can take another similar one.... and their TE is a decent play...plenty if guys there too.

I wouldn't go out of my way to avoid them though. But this particular year it probably won't kill you. 

Fill your starting roster before worrying too much about backups... and really I wouldn't worry about bye weeks too much with RB or WR..if you have too many one week, that means you end up with advantages the others... but.... definitely don't draft a backup QB, TE, K or Defense with same bye week.

Can you trade guys? What happens if a dude tears an ACL…season over? You’re just stuck with him for no points every week?

What do they bring? Which ones? Why don’t you actually try and look and educate yourself about them? Like your trolling me just because I’m very involved paying attention to all these guys we have involved with our team.

look forward to Shipley and Milton.... watch out Gainwell... Milton is coming ... it's automatic that Shipley the rookie was the #2 from day one.  LOL

After Hurts said it.... very coincidental.  

Hurts and Gainwell have been saying complimentary things about each other all along

Why don’t you look into any of these players trying to make our team and actually attempt for once to educate and form an opinion yourself instead of trolling me over my dedication and interest in the Eagles players attempting to make our team become something now and in the future?

I agree... these players are trying to make the team... Gainwell already had his spot... which the whole world knew.  One more year then he will be on another team.  Then you can celebrate.

You only start so many players you must chose to start each week. If a guy tears an ACLyou drop him and move on.

Usually you start 1 QB, 2RBs , 2WRs, 1TE, K and a D. Many leagues add one flex player a WR or RB spot on your starting roster each week,

Cunningham, why don’t you like Gainwell? Runs hard. Picks up blitzes well. Doesn’t fumble. Well rounded back.

Reports all offseason about Gainwell... why did you wait right after Hurts presser to compliment Gainwell?   How did you realize he had the #2 locked from watching him a few preseason carries?  Are you watching practice... if so, why didn't you bring it up all along like the other reporters?

I still think things could be headed that way. Milton I liked as a undrafted pickup. I like Shipley as a draft pick. But our team may prefer to keep one of the other RBs in competition. Been a good strong competition this summer at RB. You missed out.

you can trade guys.... you can also drop guys and pick up free agents.  If your guy gets hurt... then you can put him on the bench or drop him if it's more serious.  

You have a bench... so you have to put in a starting lineup each week.

Ahhh. Thanks. Sounds like you have to manage your team a LOT. I’m going to get destroyed in this game. Haha. $20…poof

I’ve stated I like him as the third string..in the past. Think he’s well rounded and does everything well. But hasn’t shown much burst or explosion…hasn’t brought much dynamic playmaking ability. I like Shipley. Think he has more burst and better playmaker. But year four Gainwell is playing his best ball and held off the strong challenger. I give him props. He’s earned the backup role right now.

Yes...its Gainwells fairwell season here.... its absolutely heading that way.   I think shipley will end up getting more touches by the end of the season... a 3rd RB should get the garbage time carries and or be fresh to pound the ball.   Gainwell will probably get more snaps... but not touches.  I have no issue with that.  We could have used 5 carries from RB3 last year... unfortunately Scott and Penny weren't worthy

Yeah..you gotta watch the injury reports and set your lineups accordingly. You’ll get into and have fun.

Not much... just put in the guys you think will score the most that week.  By mid season you will be fine

Ohhh. That makes more sense. I thought i draft A team and they all play every week. So much to learn. What position do I draft first? The main guy said you don’t get points for every catch…whatever that means. So QB is the key? Draft Mahomes and you win?

I like our draft pick and a couple of these other guys we brought in camp though Cook. I’m not big on keeping 4 RBs like we’ve been doing. So being high on Shipley…very similar to Gainwell with a higher ceiling…thought if only keeping three a different complimentary hard physical rusher like Milton undrafted from Georgia might be wiser. Shipley being very good receiving RB. Just trying to pair together a complete roster having in mind you only get 53 spots. 3 RBs makes more sense to me usually. But we always keep 4. This year that 4th will be of much higher quality than just the deadweight.

I mean... he was under contract for cheap for 4 years... every year you said he was going to lose his spot... you don't like him as #3... because you are thinking guys that are roster bubble guys are going to beat him out.... right now he is clearly #2.  Which was obviously going to be the case being the other guys are rookies.  

If anything... Gainwell would be traded if they felt the other guys were worthy.. simply because he is only under team control this year.  He wasn't going to get cut as the clear #2 at the start.  For an all in team, probably won't get traded either.

You want to get a stud RB first if you can. But really you just need to collect good players.

Sermon was a wasted roster spot in my opinion but he was on the practice squad most of the year I thought.

You state Gainwell was obviously going to be the number two while you can’t tell me squat about any of his competition. Troll me because I’ve been following all the competition taking place. Because I see and know some about these RBs fighting for a job.

Nope 53 the whole time …dead weight on our SB roster

Wow Gainwell was under contract for cheap. Is he cheaper than Shipley? For more years? Is he cheaper than these others undrafted? They’re all cheap!

I dont watch college football beyond Boise State…hometown team my nephews love…so who are good fantasy rookies that nobody knows about?

or other sleeper picks for my fantasy draft?

Thing is I came out after Gainwell had his best practice to finish camp and stated he earned the backup RB role right now. Good for him. Competition can be good. So just keep trolling me. I have him credit when he earned it. He finally earned it. Now keep it up.
