Alex Collins Start/Sit Week 5: What should dream supervisors do?

This is my 3rd post of the week on Alex Collins, and it's just Thursday. However we at Pro Football Network leave absolutely nothing to chance. All eyes are on his role as well as fantasy football impact in this night's Thursday Night Football match between the Seattle Seahawks and also Los Angeles Rams now that Chris Carson is officially non-active.

What happens to Alex Collins with Chris Carson non-active?

With the inactives officially released, we currently recognize that the Seahawks aren't rolling with their beginning running back in Chris Carson. This is clever, as there could be a severe danger of re-injury with his neck. This will be a long period (a historically long season). Seattle requires him throughout the home stretch and, preferably, the playoffs.

The Rams run protection has been consistent this season

On its face, this is obviously the best alternative for supervisors rostering Collins. Am I right? But allow's solidify our exhilaration.

Yes, the Rams' run defense has permitted the sixth-most hurrying lawns per lug (4.7 ). Yet bear in mind, as I highlighted earlier this week, the Rams have quit two huge runs this season-- one to David Montgomery (41 backyards) and also the various other to Chase Edmonds (54 backyards). If you eliminate those two gains as family member outliers, the Rams' run protection is No. 9 in the league (3.9 lawns per lug).

In fact, the Rams did such an excellent job against the Buccaneers that Tom Brady was their top rusher. Moreover, they practically totally closed down Jonathan Taylor as well as Marlon Mack in Indianapolis. So even if Collins is in line for 20+ touches, it would be tough to trust him as more than an RB2/3.

Should we be worried about Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas cutting into Alex Collins' dream workload?

Yes, it's fairly feasible that Travis Homer and/or DeeJay Dallas can cut into Alex Collins' fantasy upside. So be cautious with Collins. Know that his ceiling is less than the buzz recommends.

Nevertheless, my colleague as well as an additional dream analyst here at PFN, Jason Katz, thinks that dream supervisors require not issue themselves with Dallas, that has registered simply four offensive snaps all season. On the other hand, Jason believes that Homer will likely see a rise in his use. Homer's snap share was 26% in Week 2 and also 30% in Week 3.

Excluding Week 17 in 2019, Homer has actually never ever played greater than 50% of the offending snaps. Unless Collins goes down with a mid-game injury, that streak should continue. Homer does have an 8 target and 5 target video game on his resume, so it's possible he takes some, if not most of the giving job.

Regardless, Collins will be the lead back and also the favored for goal-line lugs in what ought to be a high-scoring event. Jason considers Collins a low-end dream RB2 that you need to begin again more suspicious choices. Simply do not require him right into your schedule ahead of well established beginners.

What's the manage Carson?

Carson really did not exercise on the brief week as a result of a neck injury. Leading up to tonight, he was a game-time choice. However, all of us know that fooling around with the neck is something you don't do, as well as this is the smart alternative for both the Seahawks and Carson.

Past that, we do not know the full tale! If you understand Chris, please message him. If he reacts to you, email me. I'll provide you my individual cell number, and you can text me the info.

Wait, why could not you simply email me the details? Why leap through hoops with cell numbers as well as text messages? Great question. I'll get back to you when you email me.
