Best IR stashes?

[AL87]

I've heard of people stashing Brian Robinson and Jameson Williams on IR.  Who would you prefer in half PPR leagues?

Or would it depend on roster construction?  For instance, in one league I'm very strong at WR and very weak at RB.  Do I go Robinson there?

In another league I'm strong at RB and weaker at WR - do I go Williams there?

Are there any other stash targets that are better than these 2?

Thanks!

I'm guessing it's not a keeper league. I wouldn't count on Jameson for this season, he's barely worked with the team. Brian Robinson was slated as Washington's RB1 till he got shot. He's definitely worth a stash, especially if free.

Gallup could be an option too if he did get drafted.

That's a really nice stash as well.

Well one league is a keeper, but it's keep up to 3 and I already have guys like Mixon, Jefferson, Kupp, Lamb so I doubt Williams would make the cut (auction draft, so rest of the team sucks lol). 

So even on the team that is weak on WR, still go Robinson you think?  For RBs on that team, I have Taylor, Barkley, Edmonds, Patterson, Hines.  While my WRs are Waddle, Metcalf, Kirk, Golladay, Julio.  But I guess if we don't think he'll see much work, then that might answer the question

Oops! Robinson it is, don't wait

Works for me!  I'm in 3 leagues so going to try and get him in all.  One of them actually has 2 IR slots so I can grab Williams in that one too, just to see what happens until I inevitably need the spot for someone else.  Gallup is gone in all 3 though, so that sucks.  Anyone you'd prefer over Williams as a 2nd option?

Back in 2014 a rookie receiver was banged up and wasn't supposed to do anything for the first few weeks. I believe he ended up missing the first 4 weeks, but after that he absolutely blew up.

That was Odell Beckham jr.

Yes he is probably an outlier, but if you have room on IR I would definitely look to pick Williams up and stash him. Williams has a LOT of potential, and the situation is different, but it's better he goes off on your bench than on your opponent's starting lineup.
