Example: If we know Hines was going to used the way he was there is a 0% chance he goes undrafted in fantasy leagues. worth the spend especially with Mack out for the season imo
Fair point on using them longer.

There are a few players I wouldn't bat an eye at spending 25% FAAB for, specifically Hines in PPR or .5PPR. He'll likely go for more imo. I don't expect his week one production by any means to stay consistent but he's clearly got a role and Mack's injury secures him a larger share of that backfield. even blowing 50+ % of FAAB on him could easily return value if you get him in that role for 12+ weeks. He's Flex startable right now and I don't see that changing.
Brown I'm less high on. He looked by far the best back for LAR in week 1 but Akers is very likely to work his way into a larger share of that backfield. If anything i see Brown's role diminishing over time.
Snell is the wildcard. Obviously looked very good in week 1 and Connor always has injury concerns, but we don't know much about Connor's injury yet. I don't see this turning into a committee but Snell's handcuff value went way up and he could return good value if Connor is missing any time the next few weeks.
AP looked good but has same concerns that Brown does with Swift looming. He'll probably go for 1/3-1/2 what Brown will go for in FAAB and could easily return equal value. I'd bid on AP over Brown all day.
Don't think I'd bid much on Gage, Hurst eats into his targets as the season goes on imo. I'd rather bid on Scotty Miller than Gage.
Not bidding on Barber or Mckinnon.
Kelly is sneaky. got 12/33 RB carries in week 1 for LAC including the goal line work. Looked good. Will probably get next to zero targets however.
Backing up the truck to me is a 40% bid or more, but even 20-30% bids can severely cripple your high leverage buying power in the right spot.
Most leagues have guys like Edmonds, Mattison, Pollard, etc. already owned. But if someone like Mixon, A Jones, Jacobs, etc. goes down, that backup is where I want to be shoving in my chips. Personal preference/style. I think in this specific context of Mack/Hines/Taylor, it is still very conceivable Hines fades quickly.
I am talking in the frame of 0ppr.... PPR or even 0.5 does make a difference.

Agree. I think Goedert is the best add this week.

I think that is too much for an 8 man league, personally I wouldn't spend north of 20%.
