Own the next man up before the starter goes down.
Before every NFL game window we name the one backup most likely to take over each backfield. Grab him with your last bench spot. If the starter gets hurt, you already own the league-winner everyone else is bidding on Tuesday.

1. Spin
Each window we score every RB room: depth chart, practice reports, designations, and a Claude-written read on committee backfields.
2. Stash
Pick up the top spin with a bench slot before kickoff. Players lock when their game starts, so you move early.
3. Keep or re-spin
Starter hurt or your guy popped? Keep him. Nothing happened? Drop him and spin again for the next window.

CJ DonaldsonRB30% rostered · free long shotRookie on the active roster who has carved out a niche: Moore said on Oct. 1 that Donaldson has 'found his specific role,' and he is part of the group that out-carried Etienne 35-30 over the first three-plus games. With Etienne on IR he should see more snaps, but he is behind Kamara and Miller with no established carry share of his own. Deep bench and dynasty stash only.
Injury history: No verified injury information gathered this cycle, and he does not appear on Saints injury reporting reviewed through Oct. 1. Missing injury data does not establish health. No reported NFL absences for this rookie.

Coming soon: the Wheel
Connect your Yahoo league and designate one bench slot as the wheel. We check which spins are actually free agents in your league, tell you exactly who to add before each kickoff, and stop the wheel the moment it hits. Automated add/drop follows as soon as Yahoo grants write access.
