I have CJ Anderson, Devante Parker, Hurns, or Blount I could plug in for him. I think I play him this week and if he has a subpar day again, it might be time for the bench until Luck comes back.

I could see Parker or Hurns both outscoring him. I think Hurns should get a decent uptick in targets with Robinson out for the year. They won't be splashy targets, but they should be steady. Parker should get plenty of looks, maybe a little riskier play, but potential for big numbers.

I honestly wouldn't have a problem going with either. No Luck, plus the Arizona defense could mean a long day for Hilton.

What do you think the odds are that Odell plays this week? Based on everything I'm reading, it's still not looking good.

I slotted him in at flex as well, but my options are pretty boom/bust. I have Maclin and Davante Parker for other WRs and Buck Allen or Paul Perkins as RB options. I think given those options I'd have to go WR if Odell is a no go.

I think I'd roll with Parker if Odell is out. I might play Parker anyways if I was you. I'm thinking if Odell does suit up it will be more for a distraction then anything else. He's like 5 weeks removed from a high ankle sprain? Those things take time.

Yeah Odell is not even out of the minimum recovery time for a high ankle sprain which makes him pretty risky as well. I forgot the Giants have other receiving options so you may be right about the distraction thing. Still, it's Odell so I can't count him totally out if he plays.

If Odell plays you play him...no question about it. Of your options I would lean towards Maclin if by Sunday morning word is out on OBJ status.

Hopefully he sits since I have to go against him this week lol

Guy didn't swap him out last week when he didn't play and lost for it. Hopefully I get the same luck.

Worst part for OBJ owners is him playing Monday night. Makes it much harder to swap out.

Should know more tomorrow though.

Well I certainly didn't expect Buck Allen to outperform Shady this week...not that it matters because CJ Anderson dismantled my team anyway.

Yeah, and here I was pissed because I ended up with the 3rd pick. So far, that's been a blessing to have missed the top two backs.
