Fantasy Football Start Or Sit Week 9: Chase Edmonds, J.K. Dobbins In Line For Bigger Workloads This Week
( CBS Local )- The season is past the midway point and there wasn’t much action at the trade deadline to speak of that will influence fantasy owners in terms of workloads for various position players. However, there are still injuries to keep in mind and what those injuries mean for the players stepping in to fill that void. This week, that is where Jamey Eisenberg of the Fantasy Football Today show is looking for his start of the week. Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds looks to be in line for the bulk of the work this week against the Miami Dolphins. “Edmonds is in a great spot taking over for Kenyan Drake, he’s out with an ankle injury. Dolphins run defense has been good. But, I think the workload for Edmonds is what you want to buy into here. Excellent setup for him if he gets the 18-plus touches that Drake has gotten in five of the seven games so far. Edmonds hasn’t needed much work to be successful. This could be a blow up game for him.” In addition to Edmonds, Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins and Washington Football Team’s J.D. McKissic are on Eisenberg’s list to start this week. On the other hand, Jonathan Taylor of the Colts going against Dobbins’ Ravens? Dave Richard is advising that you may want to leave him on the bench this week. “He just has not looked good. And when Jordan Wilkins looks better than you, there’s something wrong. I think the Colts have recognized this and they’re probably going to split the workload that we thought would theoretically be Jonathan Taylor’s by now,” said Richard. “Until we see that rectified, I can’t trust Taylor in my lineup. And, by the way, they’re taking on the Ravens, that’s a pretty good run defense.” Along with Taylor, Richard advises to look elsewhere if you can with both Melvin Gordon and Ronald Jones this week. For the rest of the position group start and sits for the week, check out the video and tune in to the Fantasy Football Today podcast.
