Apparently people are saying Cribbs isn't the same since his knee injury, so I dunno about that. I guess if Thompson puts the ball on the ground too much we can always get Randle El to take a break from sideline reporting and field some punts...

Royster is an average player who is fine as back-up RB. He's just nothing special. He gets the yards blocked, rarely more (or if he does get more, just not many more). He isn't a change of pace back, not a great receiver and does okay blocking. He really is a poor man's Morris. But so is K. Williams and Williams plays teams. Neither is a replacement for Helu as the "change of pace back", but it seems that Williams is the better receiver and Royster the (ever-so-slightly) better blocker (though neither particularly good).

Either Williams or Royster stays as the Morris back-up (to be replaced by Jamison next year). Thompson makes it as the Helu back-up and PR/KR.

I am betting on Williams.

Sorry SS, Royster is the Chase Daniels of RB's.

Say another bad word about Chase and I'll ban you and speak ill of you to anyone thinking of adding you to their fantasy league

whoa whoa whoa!!

I said nothing bad about Chase. He just got caught in a numbers game. I think he and Royster are solid NFL players. Hell, I think Chase would give KC a more explosive offense than Smith.

Royster can play in this league and be an average starting RB - nothing special but moves the chains. Unlike Chase, however, lots of guys can play RB in this league. Not so at the QB position.

Alles klar Herr Kommisar?

OK, two niggling little problems:

1. I think JoeR committed the cardinal sin of calling him Daniels in his previous post, and

2. Kommissar gets a double "S"

Can't think of an appropriate punishment, but surely SS can (and will)...

Trueblood , Chip Reeves and Josh Potter cut

[scowan]

How many do they need to cut? I guess its 15, but the Crawford injury makes it 14, I guess.

Paul is 3rd or 4th string TE, depending how Reed develops. Outside of 3 and 4 TE sets he should never see the field while we're on offense. But his teams play should keep him on the roster, especially with Zo gone this year.

And it's a good situation for him. Can't see another team trying to develop him on offense, he'd be teams only and probably even more on the bubble.

I still see value in Paul at TE. He played ok on offense down the stretch and is a heck of a teams guy. With health being a concern at TE it makes sense to keep him.

@chris_worthy @Rich_TandlerCSN @PMAC_1 @RavensInsider Yes, Niles is essentially the H-back in this offense.Plays TE & FB...

He does what Cooley basically did when he first started out as H-back.

People forget, Shanny is all about finding players with versatility and Niles fits that player profile. Niles is the New Onemangang.

Who will the 4 RBs?

Morris, Helu, Thompson and Royster or Williams.

My bet is Williams over Royster.

Agree. Royster is just....ehhh. Williams has done a few things in the league. I like Royster on some level but its time.
