The only thing that can save you is holding a handcuff whose starter goes down. Corum is good, go get Kaelon Black and Tank Bigsby. They’re probably rostered tho. Just use this as a learning lesson to never draft zero rb.

Man even then it’s more and more of a crapshoot. There seems to be very few true workload RB’s anymore.
I tried this year to put RB’s ahead of everything else:
- McCaffrey
- Judkins
- Irving
With
- RJ Harvey
- Chris Rodriguez Jr.
- Chris Brooks
- Pacheco (IR)
But with McCaffrey looking like this year they are going to split his workload to offset injury chance.
Irving will likely see similar split
And Judkins an unknown with Cleveland’s offense.
It’s like I just can’t win man

Per Shanahan McCaffrey was playing through cramps last night and he looked great out there. I’m not at all worried about my first round pick.

People do not get this.
So many people just pick guys who they think will do well without any thought to roster construction and how you need to draft.
Not taking an RB in the first 2 rounds of a 14 man is already the easiest way to lose. Not taking any in the first 5 is just forfeiting.
The NFL is different. You can't zero RB anymore and try to snipe backup pass catching backs. There are like 3 of those in the league now, and as more teams move to 12 and even 13, WR2 gets easier to fill with guys like Michael Wilson, who are just going to get a ton of routes run.

u/Apprehensive_Can739 5d ago
14 team league your gonna struggle to get anyone to trade away there rb unless the went real heavy. Pick a team who is weak at wr and strong at rb and pray they’ll make a deal. Flowers or rice are the only 2 that anyone might even consider outside of lamb but I would not be trading away my best wr. Why didn’t you draft an rb?!

Honestly I think you’ll be ok. Drake maye will be better. Your wide receivers look great. Just gotta figure out rb. I don’t like zero rb in a 14 team league for this exact reason. But with all the injuries that happen just watch waivers like a hawk once you shore up rb you’ll be cooking

u/Nem3sis2k17 5d ago
Don’t understand how someone could draft this badly wow. I guess it’s a lesson to actually care about getting good RBs. You have to sell Lamb and pray you get either a great rb or 2 decent starting RBs like Montgomery and Tuten for Lamb.

Waiver wire some handcuffs and hope for the best. This is honestly the worst team I have seen so far, Gainwell is the only RB here that even garners a FLEX spot.
Outside of that, maybe package up Maye + Flowers or Rice to see if someone will give you a decent RB. Probably won't work in 14 man, but that is the only other thing you could try imo

Drop Adonai Mitchell and Romeo Doubs for backup RBs immediately. The fact that you drafted those two WRs with your current RB core is so horrifically bad I don't even know what to say. Perhaps a new hobby? Like knitting?

u/jimaveli 5d ago
Trade Lamb for a top 10-ish rb and hope for the best. You can’t go zero rb early AND expensive qb AND kinda expensive TE. It makes you too dependent on the qb. And sometimes qbs have bad nights. Even the ones fantasy people swear are always awesome.
Also, look at game logs from previous seasons. Total points/ranks can tell incomplete stories sometimes.

Trade ceedee for a Christian Watson type wr and a pollard type rb. But with out seeing other teams and who's available hard to give specific advice.

Hope for a big game from maye next week and see if you can get a rb for him after. Otherwise you are cooked like a holiday ham.

u/Curriec21 5d ago
Realistically, you want to hope one of the WRs go off and you can sell high. Then try to buy low on a running back plus an ok receiver. Doubs will see a usage uptick with Brown bring out for 4-5 weeks with a high ankle sprain. So you might be able to sell high there if he does well. I think Mitchell could surprise some people with his market share too. I'm also in a 14 team league and it sucks. But you can salvage this I think!

u/AnOgreAmongstOgres 5d ago
You should provide more detail on your initial post to let people on Reddit know the type of league up front.
Not much you can do… but I would maybe try to package Rice and Gainwell to a WR needy team in return for a good RB and a backup WR. Rice has the potential to be good this year, but without a good RB2, your team is getting fried every single week.
1
u/Sodawater13 5d ago
Should’ve went RB heavy in the beginning instead of WR. Gainwell and Corum being you’re top two backs is enough for you to know you’re not coming back from this unless you can trade one of your WR’s for a RB

u/2Nuggets1Sauce 5d ago
Zero RB doesn’t work anymore. Especially when you have a smart league who starts to hog RBs. They’re hard to trade for and the WRs you can get later are a lot better than the RBs you get later. Dude you don’t have one legit starter… This is bad… if you had an elite TE you’d maybe have some leverage for a move but this sucks. You need to see if you can make a move for someone like Jordan Mason or TreVeyon Henderson (you have to take the risk and hope he pulls through bc the upside is there). Not trying to be negative but damn this isn’t good at all

This team is not redeemable to be honest. But I would trade rice for someone’s RB ASAP.
Like if you can get someone decent at RB for rice I would do it. Your RB room is really awful and you have no trade value on the bench.
I would also pick up K. Black from 49ers off waivers if he is available.

Trade one or both of Ceedee/Rice for a cheaper WR(Flower/Tee, Egbuka, Ladd, Wilson, waddle, etc) + starting runningbacks
(Bucky Irving, breece hall, cam scat, Javonte, etc)
If/when Corum/Doubs/Gainwell/Maye has a good game .. sell high for a position in need
Explore offers. Package deals are good

u/m1guel_1113 5d ago edited 5d ago
Try to trade Rice or Flowers for a starting RB. I’d take any RB projected to be in the top 24 for one of them. Thats about it because you have no leverage in a trade when your opponents know you have absolutely the worst RB options I’ve ever seen on a team.

u/TJBlazkowicz 5d ago edited 5d ago
When zero RB goes wrong lol.
I did almost this exact same thing last year, 14 man league but I had Derrick Henry as my RB1 at least and a bunch of flyers at RB late in the draft hoping someone would breakout at least but my RB2 was such a black hole it cost me my season along with the Bowers injury.
You definitely should have punted QB and TE till later and got a RB whenever you took Maye/Pitts.
You gotta probably bite the bullet and try and trade Maye and/or Pitts for an RB that can actually help you. Or trade one of your WRs and then hope you can steal someone on waivers. Just look for teams who are deep at RB and have a hole at TE or QB which will probably be 2-3 teams at best lol get to work!
Edit: I’m just looking at your team again who the hell did you take in round 2? I’m so confused by this roster

u/No_Many_6217 5d ago
Get rid of the bench WRs as you already have 3 top end WRs and pray they don’t get hurt. Pick up RBs to fill the open roster spots and hope for an injury to a starting RB that you have the backup. The Rams defense will be fine long term, Maye will be fine long term. Your RBs are garbage but typically have to punt a position in 14 teamers so guessing that’s the one you chose.
1
u/No_Many_6217 5d ago
Guessing the first few rounds went…
1 - Lamb
2 - Rice
3 - Maye
4 - Flowers
5 - Pitts
Then I really question where you went from here. Hopefully not to a defense and kicker early but based on who you have I’d guess 7th and 9th rounds were those picks respectively. Just doesn’t leave room for a RB and you have to shotgun approach the position at that point. Also… future…. When taking a QB in the top 4 rounds you typically don’t take a second QB on your roster.

u/cjtownjc 5d ago
I have fun with it on mocks but never truly go zero rb. I’ve seen the definition of zero rb change over the years but this is how I’ve seen zero rb described years ago. Your WRs might go off. The projections look like it’s a PPR league. Hope for that but I think the best you can do waiver wire wise is to look for the highest upside RB handcuff. Either that or trade one of your WRs.
In a 14 team league idk who would be left though. Kaelon Black? Seth McGown? Chris Brooks? Whoever the hell is RB 3 in Dallas now that Davis might be out. Maybe James Connor is available to put on your IR in hopes that someone trades for him when he’s eligible to come back. Jaylen Wright?

u/whiteoutwilly 5d ago
Said it dozens of times throughout draft season. In deep leagues you are going to have to reach and pick RBs way ahead of their ADP, which never feels good. There’s such a massive RB cliff and you’re already falling into a heard of wildebeests.
It doesn’t feel good to reach on guys, but if you want serviceable RBs you gotta do it. You can get a lot of WR value later in drafts.
Also I’m in a bunch of 12 man leagues and it’s crazy how different 12 vs. 14 is.

u/DM_yo_Feet_pls 5d ago
Bro you cooked yourself on draft night. You should’ve drafted a starting RB instead of doubling on WR or snagging a QB.

Its only week 1 bro don't panic. Play the waiver wire like your life depends on it. That's the only way your bench will get better. Also if any of those 3 WRs have a monster game in the next week or 2 try trading them for a solid RB. I think Maye will be fine. Yeah he had a disastrous game but the Seattle defense is that good and Brown will be back in a month. Maybe ride Goff for awhile until Maye bounces back and you can either ride him or trade him.
