My latest 4-minute, 44-second podcast is now out:
https://soundcloud.com/user-780565013/ff4w-2017-09-23
Last week's podcast featured 23 unconventional bargains and busts, with 13 hitting. Listen if you have a little under five minutes to spare between now and Sunday kickoff, and as always, let me know if the podcast is useful enough to keep producing.
The most popular question of the week concerns Derrick Henry. Sit him or start him? Well, of course that depends on who else you have. It also depends on DeMarco Murray's status: if he's sidelined, Henry is an instant RB2, even against Seattle's defense. If Murray is active but not starting, Henry is an RB2/3. If Murray is active and starting, then Henry will revert to RB3 status for now. Henry offers such tremendous upside. But remember that as long as Murray is on the field, that upside is capped.
Keep an eye on the Jets' Elijah McGuire. He was a name I highlighted multiple times before Week 1, including in the context of Bilal Powell and Matt Forte being severely overrated--that the McGuire Era could begin at some point during the season. Well, it might happen as soon as September. While that doesn't make him worth starting, he's a must-add in leagues where no starting or split-start RBs are available.
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals is scheduled to meet October 2 to discuss the Zeke Elliott case. Pick up Alfred Morris and Darren McFadden if you have room--preferably the former. This thing could get ugly for those who draft Zeke. True, it might not. But this train is moving, and you don't want to get stuck with little to show for your early-round Zeke investment.
