Dillon is perpetually ranked higher but Etienne is going to break loose soon. Houston defense gives up a lot of points to RBs while NYG doesnt (per FP matchup stats). Dillon’s backfield mate (Jones) is trending way up while JRob is trending down. I think all the signs are pointing to Etienne but benching Dillon is borderline nuts…right?? Is the week to start Etienne over Dillon?
I have Etienne in 3 leagues, believe he will break out but it is a roll of the dice as to when. I am waiting until he does before starting him and can afford to.
If you cannot wait, ya takes your chances.
I would go with Dillon
Welcome aboard!
Never gamble on a breakout, not when you have a solid starter. The Packers will continue to bounce back and forth between Jones and Dillon, taking advantage of defenses that over-commit to one or the other. Dillon is a Derrick Henry-esque beast. I wouldn’t sleep on him.
On the other hand, when will Etienne break out? The only way I gamble on that is if I need an RB due to a bye week or injury. Otherwise, ETN has to ride the bench until he makes it happen. You know it is also possible that ETN does NOT breakout.
Start Dillon comfortably.
Bite your fingers, he will break out. lol
“Never gamble on a breakout…” Good stuff,
Going with Dillon.
