Nabers looking unlikely for this week. If you have another non playing mid eg Nico the silver lining could be he possibly provides a good C loop option.

With Nabers set to miss the game, I'll score a '0' in my WR slot, which means B. Hall remains on my team.
So now, Collins will be traded for AJ Brown.

Not that it is changing anything, but rather then Naber not passing HIA protocol from what I understood... watch NFL Live...it was a slap on the hand for Naber gone to a Concert mid-week... Young Guy.... can't blame him.... I was young once too.... :LOL::LOL:

Yeah, I can blame him. He's a highly paid professional athlete. Age is no excuse for unprofessionalism. The stakes are high at this level for everyone involved in the organization.

That tweet doesn't say that he is out and nothing on the official current injury report.

News: 2 days ago Robinson (hamstring) practiced fully Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Brian Robinson Jr. from Washington is out not Bijan.

Oops my bad. I just saw Robinson and jumped. Brian is pretty much fantasy irrelevant so wasn't expecting that tweet.
I think Brian is actually as relevant as Bijan - not in terms of ownership of course, 2% vs 49%, but in terms of scoring?
He is currently averaging a fair bit more than Bijan: 28.4 vs 22.8.
He is just as involved in the game as Bijan:
73 carries for 5 TDs and 11 targets vs 67 carries for one TD and 19 targets.

For mine, Bijan has a so-far unwarranted high ranking as a RB. IT's based on his college career and his high draft ranking.
He has been excused for less-than-premium scores in past years as due to having Arthur Smith as his coach.
But what about this year? He is currently the #26 RB in RDT scoring. Why?

I am somewhat sceptical about his "premium"status.
This week should be a decent test. He is up against the team ranked #31 against opposing RB.
RB team points when playing Carolina:
wk.05 - Swift 37, Johnson 29 = 66
wk.04 - C BRown 44, Moss 31 = 75
wk.02 - Dobbins 39, Edwards 11 = 50
wk.01 - Kamara 38, Williams 22 = 60
Wk.03 was the only week when opposing RBs didn't feast: Mattison and White combined for 29 points.
Now if Bijan is the true RB1 stud most pundits seem to think he is then he should score well this week. You'd expect at least 35+ from him, arguably more as Algeier is far less involved than Bijan: 33 carries and 6 targets this season.
I'm not saying he won't. I am saying I am yet to be convinced.
