Looking ahead since the trade deadline is soon; if I wanted to trade Olsen for a WR (since I'm second to last in our league for mean WR points and am set for TE) to the guy in our league who is last in mean TE points (by a lot), which of these might sound like a possible trade?

M. Thomas
T. Hill
D. Adams
P. Richardson
T. Lockett

My main WRs have been Thielen and Kupp. I just picked up M. Jones this morning.

Yeah, Martin is a FA but I'm only streaming Lynch this week because Mixon and Duke Johnson are in really bad matchups

I think Duke might be fine, JAX has been burned a little by pass catching RBs.. But you clearly got better options.

I would try and Package Olsen with Kupp for Adams. Or Olsen with Jones for Hill.

But make a play for M.Thomas first, owner might be a little disappointed with him. I was able to trade for him on the cheap in 2 leagues.

darkside · Nov 19, 2017

My team is stacked this year thanks to complete drafting luck (thanks Wentz in the last round) and the decisions I have to make is between Michael Thomas and Brandin Cooks for my WR2 this week in a non PPR. Leaning towards Thomas but not actually sure about this one.

Its really gonna be hard to trade him since he hasn't played all season and are going by pure name value. I wouldn't trade him for Lockett/Richardson/Adams but I also wouldn't trade away my Thomas/Hill for him either. Maybe you can find someone in between or a add a little to the offer for Thomas or Hill to make it more enticing.

SnowGhost · Nov 19, 2017

After Antonio Brown gave my opponent a ridiculous 42 point start, I'm relying on these folks today:
Derek Carr
LeSean McCoy
Kareem Hunt
Michael Thomas
Tyreek Hill
Mark Ingram

The comeback of the century starts now.

Swing for Hill (you'll get denied) and probably settle for a SEA WR or if lucky get Adams who surprisingly is still doing well. Olsen was garbage to start the year and been out all season so his value is pedestrian

tophu · Nov 19, 2017

I need the Giants to contain Alex Smith today.... LOL.

GURLEY!

Who would I package for M. Thomas?

Number eight in our league for mean TE points is also last overall (number nine is second in the league and a potential playoff oppponent). He has Funchess, Hurns, E. Sanders, J. Nelson, Amendola and Ginn. He's not very active though, but if I bug him enough he might be willing to trade since he has no shot at the playoffs (1-9).

I think garbage is a little harsh since he only played one full game and Newton wasn't doing too hot either at the beginning. You're right though that his unknown value makes a difficult trade. I picked him up because I thought some people might bite due to how unreliable most TEs have been this season. This guy is averaging under 4 points per week at TE, with the next lowest being ~6.25 (highest is ~12.5).

EDIT: I should note he has Hooper at TE currently.

Instro · Nov 19, 2017

Ugh I didn't realize that Sterling Shepard was having issues, there was no indication on nfl.com fantasy until right before the game.

Smurf · Nov 19, 2017

Human said:

Try Marvin Jones, especially if he has a good game today

Smurf · Nov 19, 2017

I vow never to start Jay Cutler again. No matter how juicy the matchup is or what else is available on the waiver.

Please hold me to it boys

tophu · Nov 19, 2017

Jax D :DDDDD

touchdowns galore late... Kamara and Jax D just saved my ass.

Deleted member 42 · Nov 19, 2017

I left so many damn points on the bench but I'm still gonna go 3-0 I think

#blessed

I dunno. Those Patriots matchups look so tasty. Their D is SO bad. And you know the Dolphins will be playing from behind.
Are you sure you're able to resist?

PillarEN · Nov 19, 2017

Opponent is looking mighty strong this week. Benjamin probably done for the year (and for the day) which means all rests on Ertz, Julio, Ryan to get some high double digit marks.

EDIT: And why did Buffalo start a rookie against the team that allows the least fantasy points to the QB?! Guy was set up to lose. Not really sure what the Bills were thinking. 4 INTs already.

EDIT 2: And of course my opponent has Rivers and Allen who are feasting off those turnovers. OK. I get it. I lost this week lol.

UberTag · Nov 19, 2017

But Tyrod had a bad game at home against the Saints! This kid MUST be better. I mean, just look at him. I think we ought to give Nathan a chance to do better.
Fuck my Bills into the cold Orchard Park ground. May their racist hearts find solace in their close proximity to Tim Hortons coffee.

On a contrarian note, here's an "expert's" opinion with9 reasons benching Tyrod Taylor for Nathan Peterman makes sense for Buffalo Bills...

1) Taylor wasn't coming back
2) Bills can still get into the playoffs this season
3) Not a Super Bowl contender
4) Best time to get Peterman into the lineup
5) Move should get wide receivers more involved
6) Peterman pro-ready and fits offense
7) Move allows Bills to evaluate Rick Dennison
8) Team knows no one is safe
9) Move was important for 2018 NFL draft

We'll be getting another QB next draft. Meanwhile, Tyrod Taylor will go to another team and carry them to the playoffs.

PillarEN · Nov 19, 2017

Seeing how the Bills treated Doug Flutie, nothing surprises me when it comes to them handling the QB position.
EDIT: On a positive note I'm watching the Pats, so I'm content.

Smurf · Nov 19, 2017

I told someone to play the Vikes over the Charges, I'm sorry. Never listen to me again.

I've been bodied so absolutely this week, lmao

WHY DO I KEEP PLAYING FANTASY

Jack Remington · Nov 19, 2017

Latavius Murray on my bench, ugh.

I got him on waivers, forgot to start him. I have Abdullah in the flex spot, and he gave me 10 points, but 21 from Murray would have sealed my matchup.

I'll win if Brady throws more TDs in the second half.

Yunsen · Nov 19, 2017

I've stuck with Keenan Allen the whole year and it's finally paying off.

Tyrods going to the Browns next year.

Well, okay... there IS one team Tyrod could go to and fail to bring them to the playoff promised land. Kid can't work miracles.

duxstar · Nov 19, 2017

I might go 12 - 2 in the regular season and have no faith ny team does anything in the playoffs.

Like wentz is good

But im relying on gurley with a tough schedule.

Doug martin .... because zeke had to try to appeal

Julio Jones who is like mr anti touchdown
Deandre hopkins who is stuck with tom savage
Tyreek Hill who is now with a chiefs team that couldnt score on the giants

And Kelce

Like this is a talented but sneakily not great team going forward

TheeFanatic · Nov 19, 2017

I'm done with 111 pts today(technically i still have Tyrod left) but opponent as
Wentz
Blount
McManus
Morris left.
E:Opponent has 35 points so far
Do i have a chance? This is a 10 max move all season league and i ran out of moves to switch QB's

VoxPop · Nov 19, 2017

Can't believe they benched tyrod for this turd of a QB. 5 picks in a half.

NateDrake · Nov 19, 2017

Really wish I hadn't played D. Thomas today. I was smart enough to bench E. Sanders but stupidly left in Thomas. Should have benched him and started Taylor G. against that weakened Seattle D.

Do you still think Olsen and Marvin Jones for M. Thomas is a good trade after today?

Haruko · Nov 19, 2017

Started Carr over Big Ben, but I think i'm going to survive and snap my 4 game losing streak today

Bwooduhs · Nov 19, 2017

My 102.38 vs opponents 102.20

I have Ertz he has Witten

Going to be a fun one

Yunsen · Nov 19, 2017

Brown and Allen are carrying me this week. I only need 0.8 points from Wilson, Baldwin and Blount to win this week.

ryul2 · Nov 19, 2017

with the turds that muscle hamster and tate left, might be a close one

although I doubt i'll have a chance in claiming him, going to put in a waiver claim for perine (and dropping muscle hamster) but we'll see how it goes

RespectThySole · Nov 19, 2017

My team was scaring me for a while(started a bunch of players that did little in the first half of their games), but looks like I have the win unless Dak somehow has the game of his career.

Smurf · Nov 19, 2017

Human said:

I would, because I'm dumb and I'm still expecting things to go back to "normal". But its week 11 and Jones has been the better player.

Keep Jones, try to get Adams or Hill.

Firewithin · Nov 19, 2017

I just need jimmy graham to get less than 13 pts. Don't mess up atl

Deleted member 42 · Nov 19, 2017

I'd like to thank my friends Jesus and Danny Trejo for my 3-0 week

Smurf · Nov 19, 2017

I need a big game from Alshon, he needs to score 10 more points than Witten for me to lock up the #1 seed.

TheSkullPrince · Nov 19, 2017

Perine and the Pats kicker bailed my ass out, no thanks to you Alex Smith!

NateDrake · Nov 19, 2017

Smurf said:
Ha!

At least he did something for me, haha.

I'm down 42pts and my opponent has no one left. I have Julio Jones and Jimmy Graham going tomorrow, and Morris right now. May fall short.

Dr_LawyerCop · Nov 19, 2017

I won this week to go 10-1 and clinch my division, guaranteed to get my buy in back. I beat the team that's 1-10 and honestly got lucky doing so. He's got a pretty solid team and has been unbelievably unlucky. Going to start getting serious with playoff planning.

Tom Nook · Nov 19, 2017

Ertz is on the field, right?

Human · Nov 19, 2017

Tom Nook said:

Yes - he fumbled during a two-point conversion.

He's just off his game tonight. Lots of other TEs getting targets.

ryul2 · Nov 19, 2017

good lord

i dont know how, but i'm up 1 point with jimmy g to play tomorrow

i thought it was pretty much over at the first set of games

Grab Greg Olson if he's available

Also Sam Perine. Thompson and RKelley are out

Metalix · Nov 20, 2017

Comfortable win in the end even with one less player than my opponent due to Montgomery being ruled out, still have Baldwin to go! It took a long time to get here but my team finally looks to be in a solid state for a playoff run:

Upcoming week 12 runout:

Brees
Ingram
Blount
Baldwin
Evans
Olsen
Woodhead
Catanzaro
Jags

Git 'r done, boys!

I'm cheering for you Stranga. You've had bad luck in the Taco Bell League last couple years so you deserve the Freeman this year.

(Pls pls pls.. don't let it be Pep somehow.)

Tom Nook · Nov 20, 2017

I was struggling between Goff and Bortles on Sunday morning, they end up with the same amount of points. LOL.

Dropping Bort and might have to ride Goff ROS. I have guys like McCoy, Kamara, M Thomas, Ertz, and Jax D to take me to the playoffs I hope.

SealedSeven · Nov 20, 2017

Need low scoring shitfest tonight. Nothing from both teams. (wilson and coleman specifically)
