It's not the prettiest add, but desperate times call for desperate measures. He has some really tough matchups, but he has enough good matchups to make it worth it.
Temper expectations, but Rudolph looked good in preseason and during the second half of last week's game. There's a non-zero chance Rudolph is better for this offense(this year) than Roethlisberger who was terrible before leaving with his elbow injury.
This is one of those offenses that always will be a RBBC, but it doesn't mean it can't support multiple RBs like we saw last week. He also has 'skies-the-limit' type potential if something does happen to Matt Breida.
Old man Gore. He's on a goodish offense that loves to run the ball. My guess is Devin Singletary is out for a few weeks(purely a non-medical guess) given how Singletary looked when he pulled up lame. T.J. Yeldon may be worth a stash too.
Thompson will never be a plug-and-play RB, but he's a guy you can throw in your flex spot each week and get 10 points with a TD here and there.
He's crushing every usage metric we use. He's become a stable WR3. #1 WR priority.
This might be a headache on a week to week basis, but these guys are on the field with Patrick Mahomes so they're always dangerous.
Olsen took a hit if Cam Newton misses time, but he's a solid TE.
He's not fun to trust, but he's a must play...when he plays
He'll be coming back from suspension in a couple weeks and you want to get him before your competition wises up.
He hasn't posted a huge week, but he's among the league leaders in targets and now it looks like the Philadelphia WRs are going to miss some time. It's not that you're going to get him for peanuts, but his value is likely to shott up after this week.
It's the Andy Dalton/Cincinnati bad-taste-in-the-fantasy-mouth thing. People don't like having parts of this offense, but Ross has been killing it. You're not paying what you should for the league leader in receiving yards.
Between disappointing performances and Cam Newton, now is the time to buy Samuel. He's been targeted and the air yards are there. It just hasn't come together yet. Get Samuel, and enjoy it later in the year.
It's only a matter of time before Fuller explodes. He's still an important part of the offense and should bounce back.
He's raking up air yards with Russell Wilson and this is a couple weeks after a small procedure on his knee.
