I'll take 2 out of 3 this week. Had Penny on the bench with 7. I'll probably use him instead of Crowell
If Phillip Lindsay can miraculously score a touchdown in the next 16 seconds, assuming he's even on field, I'll win.
Couldn't have just thrown to Hill, Mahomes.
AND fuck me for leaving James White on the bench and not using him as a FLEX.
Lost by 5.

Lost on the very last pass to Hill. But Hunt's last TD won me my ESPN league. Im pretty much 2-2 in every league.
I'm 3-1 in both my leagues. Scored 213 points this week in one of them. One of my best fantasy weeks ever
3-1 in my money league. Got a combined 5 points from Drake and Fournette but still won. FEELING GOOD ABOUT MAH TEAM
Someone offered me Golden Tate for Kareem Hunt. That seems like a good deal for me, no? My RB/WR situation would update to
RB: Alvin Kamara
RB: James White
WR: Tyreke Hill
WR: Golden Tate
FLEX: Alshon Jeffrey
Bench:
RB: Kerryon Johnson
WR: Marvin Jones
WR: Doug Baldwin
WR: Keelan Cole
WR: Geronimo Allison
I would obviously have to trade my bench receivers for some RBs, but that bench is strong enough I could get some value for it. Another positive is losing a KC player since I also have Kelce at TE. I might just accept this.

Hunt is far more valuable, unless you're in a full PPR league.
That is a horrific deal for you. If you have Kareem Hunt, you shouldn't be trading him for any WR that isn't Antonio Brown, DeAndre Hopkins or Michael Thomas. If you were re-drafting today, Hunt is, what, the 5th RB off the board (Gurley, Elliott, Kamara, Gordon, and then MAYBE Saquon before him?), where as Tate probably doesn't go till the mid-late teens as far as WRs are concerend. Also, RB are significantly more valuable than WR just due to the fact that finding a guy who can score you 5 points on the waiver wire is nearly impossible for RB but simple as hell for WR.
So I'm a Will Fuller owner. Should I spend some FAAB on Keke Coutee? I finally won in my league of record and I'm 4-0 in my ESPN league with the Giant Bomb community.
Expecting big bids given his usage. The price on usage keeps going up.
Royce Freeman got me the w! 4-0. I really wish Lindsay wasn't so involved lol cause Freeman looks good on the touches he does get.
I have a tough decision to make this week. I have Matt Ryan, Goff, and Rodgers and have to start 2 QBs. I'm actually considering benching Rodgers, which I can't believe I'll have to do because Ryan and Goff have been on fire. Is this the right decision?
So I'm 4-0 in my money league with the most points scored, but now with Bell potentially returning, I will be losing my RB1. Should I try to trade one of my stud WRs for an RB1? Maybe buy low on someone like Dalvin Cook? Or just stick with what is working so far?
Here is my current roster (12-team, non-PPR):
QB: Drew Brees
WR1: DeAndre Hopkins
WR2: Michael Thomas
RB1: James Conner
RB2: Jay Ajayi
FLEX: Adam Thielen
TE: Jordan Reed
BENCH: Carson Wentz, Nelson Agholor, Keelan Cole, Dion Lewis, Matt Breida, David Njoku

Someone in my league dropped Aaron Jones. Had to put in a claim and now I'm hoping it goes through. Will probably scoop Nyheim Hines for emergency plays if I can't get Jones. Either way Giovanni Bernard is getting dropped since Mixon is expected back. He singlehandedly ensured a win for me these past two weeks so it'll be a shame that his production is going to tank
10%? Every league is different, but check out how much Tyler Boyd or Enunwa went for, that should give you a good baseline.
So I'm 2-2 and lead my division, despite having to deal with Fournette's health and Larry and Drake absolutely cratering. Bears D is on bye, so I need to pick one up but I'm not dropping them, they'd get snatched in a heartbeat.
QB: Stafford
RB: Kamara
RB: Kerryon Johnson
WR: JuJu
WR: Kupp
TE: Kittle
FLEX: Demaryius Thomas
Bench RB: Fournette, Drake, Powell
Bench WR: Larry, Sanu, John Brown
Bench TE: Engram
It's a 10 man league, so talent is really thin, whoever I dropped is probably getting snatched. Brown and Sanu have been putting up numbers, Engram is still a top TE when healthy, I'm not really sure what to do here. I'm leaning Drake but RB is so thin...

Vuapol I'd prob drop Sanu. He is the fourth receiving option on that team (JJ, Ridley, Coleman/Freeman are ahead of him) and his production is going to be very hit-or-miss as a result. Drake is a total bust so far, but you have to think they will get him more touches soon and you want to hold onto him in case he breaks out.
If you are in a PPR League, he's probably a 25-40% player
In a non-PPR League, he's closer to a 10-20% player
Predicting Kickers is basically impossible. If you choose a Kicker on a good offense, you could easily get only 5 points or something if they kick no field goals, just XP
If you pick a kicker on a mediocre offense that is going against a good defense, you might think that "hey, more FGs!", and then see that the team ends up just scoring 2 TDs because they need to chase points all game
The best you can hope to do is take some predictive elements- teams that tend to go for it more often on 4th down if they are on the opponents side of the field (We are a little too early in the season to track this at this point- you need to factor out the "noise"- for example, Tennessee leads the league in fourth down tries, but 4 of them came in overtime last week when they were down by 3 and couldn't punt). Factor in weather- if it's a cold/rainy day, teams will be less likely to try long FG)
Definitely Sanu. It's way easier to pick up a competent WR than a RB from the wire. Drake has been awful so far and should stay on your bench until he proves he's back a couple times, but I definitely would not drop him. He's very talented. The Dolphins just aren't using him. Hopefully, they'll gain some sense as the season goes on.
so what the hell do I do with Chris Hogan? what a bummer he's been. targets trending down, had 1 catch on 1 target against Miami, take away the 2 TDs this season and he's just been disappointing and basically a non factor. however he's still on the field a ton, despite the crappy performance against Miami he was out there for 86% of snaps. that was the lowest this season though but still, he's out there on a team with Tom Brady at QB and has shown a rapport with him in the past. is he a drop at this point? just hold and see what happens? package trade? who the fuck is trading for Chris Hogan tho?
I go by offense. I want a productive offense that might stall in redzone. Gould was great at that but with the new QB I dropped him for Prater in Detroit. Of those two I would go Butker because KC won't always get TDs in the redzone like they have of late.
I'm in a 1pt PPR league and I'm dropping 40 on him (hopefully)
I would probably hold for one more week at least. He been playing out of slot which isn't working for him this year. With Edleman back to take the slot I would wait and see what he does now.
I had him and dropped him after week 3. If he couldn't produce then, he wasn't going to produce in a start worthy manner going forward imo.
Josh Gordon joined the team week 4, Edelman back this week. He's like what the 5th receiving option at best in that offense now. Gronk, Edelman, Gordon and White are all ahead of him and you could argue several more.
yeah this is probably what I'm gonna do. it's crazy how much he's been on the field vs. how little he's been producing. hopefully his target share will start to match his snap count.
Mahomes vs JAX or Bortles vs KC?
I can't believe I'm even asking that, but given the matchup I have to.

I want another elite RB.
Offered out Julio Jones, OBJ and George Kittle as a trade to each of the other teams in the league for their best RB's. I don't expect anyone to take it but.. I'm hoping on name value alone somebody bites.

Is it time to drop Derrick Henry? So many people drafted him as their RB2, but I think I could throw a rock for more yards than he's rushed this year. Already dropping Robby Anderson as Sam Darnold can't seem to throw to anyone except Quincy.
Is it time for me to start giving Taywon Taylor a start? He would be a flex spot along with Thielen, Fuller and Sterling Shepherd as my WR
