CMC is still in 15% of teams or over 300 coaches so Rupert isn't alone there. Curiously Thomas owners are only 8% or about half that and he never even went on IR and looks like he will be back before CMC now, in fact would've been back last week but for that altercation. Not sure anyone in the SCS leagues kept him.
So much of how we view injured players are based on their recent scores and in Thomas's case it was just 6 vs 44 for CMC. You could say that's cash related but really these guys are meant to be season long keepers so cash concerns really shouldn't factor in.
It's true that Adams (still owned by 40%!) did score poorly in his last game but he also had that monster Week 1. If he never scored that 69 and instead got injured in Week 1 for 10pts then his ownership probably wouldn't be anywhere near 40%, even though it's exactly the same player.
All 3 of these guys were expected to be top 3 in their position before the season started and when healthy I'm not sure that changes much when they return. Just find the fantasy psychology of it all quite interesting. I mean I kept Adams and got rid of Thomas too so I'm part of that herd mentality as well.

There were so many spot fires to put out, moving CMC on was the least of the concerns for me. Saquon Barkley, Adams, Thomas, Julio Jones, Ruggs III, Herndon, Tyrod Taylor all in the cue before CMC. Then Hurst decided he wasn't up to the challenge of #1 TE.
With so many games being shifted around, new, unexpected problems are arising. I'll be forced to trade a defense with the Colts and Dolphins now having the same bye week.
It will be interesting to see how those with Burrow handle their QB byes. Stick with him or trade him on.

Well we'll find out soon enough with both Russ and Herbert on bye this weekend. I'm guessing the vast majority of Russ owners will roll Burrow out. Last week really was an outlier. Wouldn't expect Burrow to register another single digit score all season unless he gets injured. Yes the Colts defense is no joke but Burrow is still projected to score around the 30pt mark give or take.
Anyway not something you or I have to worry about @KLo30 this week. I'm probably planning to swap out Burrow for Herbert next week with that schedule easing up for the Chargers. Should be better cover should my QB1/2 miss a game here or there through injury and not just for their byes.

I kept CMC and Adams and traded Thomas because:
I see the Panthers and Packers offence depending upon CMC and Adams
the Saints don't necessarily rely upon Thomas. They have Kamarra and brought in Sanders. Thomas had only 5 targets in week.1 - his lowest number of targets last year was 7 in wk.3
I'm not trading Burrows because I have other concerns, I see last week as a one-off (hopefully) and I want to trade him to Wilson.

Of course these things are always easier in hindsight. If we knew for sure that CMC would be out 5+ weeks then holders who kept him may have made different decisions.
Also not many would've expected Davis to shine quite as brightly as he has. RB 3 over the past 3 weeks in terms of total pts behind Kamara and Cook and ahead of the likes of Zeke which is pretty crazy. He has a challenging match-up this week so will be curious to see how much the Bears defense slows him down.
It's given the Panthers some wriggle room to get CMC close to 100% before wheeling him out. If Davis was spudding it up then there might be a bit more urgency to get CMC back out there.

That's a horrible thought. You don't want a $21,600,000 player in CMC sharing points. His price could drop quickly, so before trading him in right away, maybe wait.
