Any Advice On Backup PPR RBs?

This is a 12 team PPR league with 2 RB, 2 WR, and a RB/WR

QB Matthew Stafford
RB Montee Ball
RB Shane Vereen
WR Demaryius Thomas
WR Andre Johnson
RB/WR Roddy White
TE Jordan Reed
D Bengals
K Matt Bryant

BE Eric Decker
BE Brandin Cooks
BE Darren McFadden
BE Shonn Green
BE Terrance West
BE Jordan Matthews
BE Andrew Hawkins

My starting Rbs are solid for PPR but I am really concerned about my backups. Any waiver wire advice? Also, Matt Bryant or rookie Nate Freese at kicker?

Very nice draft I like ur team a lot. I would drop Hawkins for Mccluster, Helu or even Jacquizz. All great receiving backs with unimpressive, old or unproven rbs ahead of them on the depth chart. Except Helu, who is behind Alfred but Alfred isnt used for passing downs and Helu is 2nd in line if Alfred were 2 go down.

Or even drop Hawkins for a back up tight end seeing this is ppr making them much more valuable.

thank you, McCluster and Helu are taken, and Im reluctant to pick up Jacquizz due to devonta freeman's likely emergence. I want to keep hawkins for a few weeks to see how he performs as the first receiver without Gordon.

I would keep McFadden as he has the most potential in PPR out of your backups. Also, even though it seems like he's been in the league forever, he's only 27. You should know early on if he has any potential. Who are the top 5 or so adp backs that are left on the ww?

Marcel Reece, Mike Tolbert, Jonathan Stewart, Jordan Todman, Ronnie Hillman (handcuff?), jaquizz rodgers

I definitely like he idea of handcuffing with Hillman. If Ball goes down, Hillman has the potential to be a top 20 or better back. Out of the other backs I like Jonathan Stewart. You could roster him when he's healthy and he provides some nice upside versus a guy like shonn greene. Plus he's easy to drop if (when) he gets hurt.

Ye I def like the thought of having ur 1st string rb on 1 of the best offenses in the league handcuffed.
