I don’t, but I think the Bengals would in a pinch. A contending team like that would likely prefer veteran experience over Evans or Trayveon Williams. I think they’d all get touches, making it a bit of a mess. Evans is a great dynasty hold, though.

Thanks for the list, it’s a really good job but two that I found surprisingly lower than I expected.
Spiller being a 1 star surprised me. To me it seems if the Chargers don’t like the other RBs they took the prior 2 years and that’s why Spiller could get a lot of work if Ekeler gets hurt.
Herbert as a 2 star was lower than I expected. Herbert was more efficient than Montgomery last year and I thought there was a lot of talk that he is a better fit for Chicago’s offense than Montgomery is?
Haskins and Brian Robinson were a little surprising to me as well as 1 stars. If Gibson and Henry went down, I suspect they would get a lot of work. McKissic is there but a vast majority of the 1st and 2nd down work would go to Robison I would expect and most likely the red zone.

All worthy arguments for sure. Spiller could certainly rise if he outshines the other backs in the preseason. It just felt too early to vault him at this point. As for Herbert, that was more in line with my expectations for the Chicago offense which are simply not good. I would expect the Titans would add a veteran like they did last year if they lost Henry, but Haskins could certainly move up with a solid preseason. I like your case for Robinson as well. Should be a fun preseason as we see this players rise and fall and touch.

These are the same 2 that stood out to me. Herbert scored like a rb1-rb2 last year when Montgomery was out and looked the part too. I have him handcuffed to Montgomery in several leagues and hes been highly sought after this offseason by the rest of my league. I wouldnt think twice about plugging him in and getting production if Montgomery goes down again
