I just got offered Michael Thomas and Christian Mccaffrey for my Carlos Hyde and Alex Collins. 12 man, standard scoring. I'm weak at WR, lost OBJ, A.Robinson for the season, and down only too Alshon Jeffery and Stefon Diggs. My others RB's are Zeke/Hunt/Gillislee

Michael Thomas is dealing with a knee injury but it doesn't seem serious..

That's an easy yes, right?

I'm in a league on Yahoo and doing absolutely terrible. We're currently 1-6-0 and sit 9th out of 10th. Worst thing is, I actually rate my team! I won't post them all but I've got Brady and Ryan (although it's only a 1 QB league; I was hoping to use Matt Ryan as tradebait but so far it's not worked out.), K Allen, A Thielen, T Riddick, Gronk, D Murray, Gostowski, and my two options for DST are the Seahawks and the Rams. Close to giving up. My bright idea of drafting Zay Jones in the 5th round really didn't work.

We've switched to a keeper league recently too (stupidly I decided not to keep Zeke because I thought he'd be suspended) so I've put all my eggs in a certain basket and currently have Odell Beckham Jr warming my bench every week after he was dropped the day after getting injured, with the intention to keep him next season. Genius, right!

Just so you know, if you're using ESPN, CM is going to give you a heart attack whenever you look at his line. Since he's a RB they only show his running stats. Since he seems to never get more than 10 total yards on the ground, it looks like he's doing terrible. Meanwhile he'll have 50 or 60 in the air. This does look like a good trade for you though.

Ofc I'm up against the Ravens D.

If landry pops for a big TD, than I'll be on full tilt.

Fuck Baltimore. Last week I went against Tucker who put up a ton of points and now I'm against Baltimore D who's putting up a ton of points.

A very easy yes
Thomas is a top 10 WR and McCaf isnt that far off from Hyde on his own. Easily one sided for you.

Yeah can't argue going into Sunday morning up 29 points

That game though. ugly. Flacco and Mallett both junk, Moore awful, without the Ravens D this would have been completely unwatchable. I can't even believe in Alex Collin's game, really have to expect he'd struggle against any decent rush defense.

Buddy I'm playing against already has 40 points between Baltimore's defense and Justin Tucker, and then he has Wentz going against San Francisco. Fuck.

My team has imploded from injury and my opponent had Ravens defense this week. The downward spiral continues.

Good to see this thread has made it here too. This is my toughest week in terms of byes, but I have a really weak opponent (not a good draft and lost OBJ) so it should still be a manageable week for me.

Sup Bronson.

I need to pick up a kicker and WR in my 14 team league.

The problem is.. I don't know who to drop.

My options to drop are:
Mike Wallace
Ryan Succop
James Conner

I wanted to hold onto Succop because he's been putting up some really good points for me. So if I drop Conner the I know someone will claim him on waivers next week because I have Bell.

I would prob drop the kicker.. Might drop Wallace tho, if you got better/similar WR options on your waiver

Yeah I'm definitely going to drop Wallace, just not sure who else I want to drop.

I also have John Brown, Rishard Matthews, Randall Cobb.

It's slim pickins for WRs on waivers..lol.. Zay Jones, Treadwell, LaFell, deonte
thompson, etc...

I guess the decision I need to make is whether to drop Succop who has gotten me some nice points. Or Conner.. LeVeon Bell's backup.

Oh, you gotta drop 2

Regarding Succop, is this sustainable? I mean, last year the titans were the best team in the red zone, Succop was a pretty average kicker.. Now they are the worst, and the kicker is getting all the points.. At one point they gotta improve right? With Murray and Henry, Davis comming back from the injury? Also, I think you can stream kickers pretty safely, unless the majority of your league rosters 2.

Ya that makes sense. I think I'm just valuing him high because he's had a nice floor for me. There's a good amount of available kickers though.

So I'm setting my linups for this weeks matchups, a few conundrums..

Alshon or Dez? I'm already down 29, so I think I need to play the guy with the highest ceiling here.

Abdullah or McCaffrey? Also down 29(another league, fml) I think I need to play the guy with the highest ceiling here too.

Deonte Thompson or Marquise Goodwin?

Diggs or McCaffrey? Diggs is a banged up and questionable for the game, I'm afraid he might be limited even if he plays..

Scoring format is standard for all, I appreciate the input guys, thnx.

Are those all the receivers you have? Personally, I dropped John Brown because no Palmer and I'd drop Cobb as well without Rodgers, but if that's the best you have then obv you can't.

Deshaun Watson or Matt Ryan? Watson's been better, but Ryan is playing the Jets and Watson is playing Seattle.

I'm leaning towards Ryan, but Watson has just been sooo good.

Watson has been so good, but if he was gonna lay up a dud performance this game seems like it could be it. On the road, hostile environment against a tough D, and controversy with the owner. Ryan's been terrible but this seems like a winning matchup

Yep that's pretty much been my thoughts on it. I'll just play the matchups this week

Never keep a second kicker rostered, completely pointless.

But he's expected to see an increase in play this weekend. And the Pats D is so bad it could be his chance to prove himself. It's a gamble.

He was suposed to see and increase last week also, his snaps went from 10 to 14. I just think there is not enough oportunity there yet , to even consider starting him. There are better gambles IMO.

Read a stat that a couple of CBs for the Bills might not play today, and Jameis lit them up last week, so trying to make my mind up between Matt Ryan and Carr just became that much more difficult. Plus, I heard rain is in the forecast for the Jets game I think.

Diggs is impossible to trust, and as a double whammy I decided not to start McKinnon this week.

I started McKinnon but benched Thielan. :( Hopefully Chris Hogan can make up those lost points.

Diggs is a little banged up, so there is still hope. But it sure feels we should have traded him away like 4 weeks ago..
