Just curious. Would you drop any of these four for him? They’re all on my bench except for Swift, who I’ve used as a Flex.

1/2 PPR

Nico Collins
De’Von Achane
Christian Kirk
D’Andre Swift

This is actually a great example of how the experts can mess people up, especially inexperienced players (not meaning you Sorantables).

The experts say so and so is a must have waiver pick-up and you should spend x% of your budget. Yet most of them never mention where the cut-off is for when you shouldn't pick anyone up.

I keep seeing people drop players that have far more potential than the one they are picking up. On top of losing the better player, they are using FAAB or wasting waiver position that could be valuable later.

What is Achane’s path to relevancy? He wasn’t even active last week. Sell me on why he’s worth holding over a Kyren

I’d drop Achane personally if you can make an argument to stay put also. I really like Nico in non standard

With Mostert banged up, we may find out. If Mostert misses time or is limited and Achane doesn't produce, let him go.

I personally don't have any shares of Achane and didn't want him. However, if you believed in him enough to draft him, why drop him right before he possibly gets his chance to shine.

Mostert and JWJ health.

But Achane is a dart throw. Value TBD. Kyren is getting production now.

I’m pretty sure Achane was mostly a double digit round draft pick. I personally don’t mind cutting bait on those type guys fairly easily. I would take Kyren right now, especially in shallow bench leagues (given the OP drop options).

In a deeper bench league, I would pick up Kyren and keep Achane and drop some backup TE or other scrub.

Achane not worth holding onto in redraft imo

Jeff Wilson was already hurt and he was an inactive. McDaniel alluding to that he may not fully have the offense down yet. That said, what does a best case scenario even look like for Achane? It’s not like they’ll ever be a time where he gets full run in that backfield. Perhaps I’m misreading Achane

We can’t sit around for weeks hoping for an Achane to materialize and let available volume guys pass us by. And it’s not like Kyren is even that good or Achane that bad.

I think Kyren has a chance to be that week 1 guy that helps you win your league. People are discounting him bc of claims of rams being a bad offense. However, this is not the 2022 rams. Stafford is back and if Kupp comes back then this offense will have a lot of scoring opportunities. Kyren was buzzed last year in camp but got hurt and the coaches still gush over him. They don’t seem to be all in on Akers. Also Kyren is great in the pass game.

Kyren Williams is currently a top 5 RB with two TDs of his own today

Trying to clown a guy who actually gave a suggestion when didn’t lend input of your own

I responded to you. Achane’s path to relevancy is pretty clear now.
