Cheap RB for Playoff Run

Postby wickerkat1212 » Tue Oct 31, 2023 9:33 am

Wondering if you all have any brilliant ideas for a low-cost RB that may help me with depth taking a run at the title. I'd probably be moving lesser pieces to get him—players like Gainwell, Chandler, Hutchinson, Woods, Boyd, Kmet, etc.

Any top secret plays? Brilliant trade ideas? WW finds?

It's for a rb-premium league where we start three rbs minimum (Dynasty #4 in my signature.)

Here are the top WW RBs by ownership percentage.

Yeah, I don't think you're expecting to hear from us a name you've never thought of. Barring injuries, none of the guys listed has any special appeal. An injury can change everything, but then you'll be competing with half the league for the guy who suddenly is given a chance.

I don't think you will find any real cheap RBs at this point. Is Fournette on a roster? He signed in Buffalo. ANother hue gamble would be Foreman. He always produces when he gets the chance and maybe Johnson misses more time?

Maybe Mixon if he is on a rebuilding team that is just trying to dump him? It has to be the right price though.

Fournette is rostered. I'll look into Foreman and Mixon.
