Eddie Lacy to IR. Again, Davis owns most long-term appeal. Montgomery/Cobb/Jackson fill void tonight. Knile RB2 appeal down homestretch.

My stance hasn't changed – you want the other guy to win the Knile Davis FAAB bid. The wire fertilizes itself. New week, new stuff.

Reminder that you don't actually have to add any sketchy Green Bay RB. Go get Gillislee, Jacquizz.

You'd have to be loaded at running back to sit Mike Gillislee this week. Easy green light here. Nothing sneaky or tricky about it.

Montgomery's success in the backfield is going to take consistent creativity, which McCarthy lacks. Gimme Don tonight and Knile next week.
