Sharp SixHold

A mild strain in front of a bye is the best injury news available, and it changes nothing about a back projected for 293 points on the season. He is the RB3 by sharp rank with 154.9 points of value over replacement and 100% field ownership, so there is no version of this where he leaves your roster. The bye does the resting for San Francisco. Hold him, cover the week with whatever is on your bench, and stop refreshing.
