I have Cam and was happy with my lock and loaded QB I don't need to mess with. Somehow Matt Ryan was on waivers so I picked him up for Cams bye week. Now I'm like who do I start? Lol. No one will trade for QBs in my league really. Hoping Ryan has another good week and maybe I can get something.

Hiphopopotamus · Oct 2, 2018

Ok. New week to fuss over.

WR1/2: Thielen and Diggs

Flex: Pick One
Robert Woods v. Sea
Golden Tate v. GB
Or
Edelmen v. Ind

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.

Depends on your waiver tbh. I there is a player you really want there, I would be ok with dropping Henry.

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

Not sure I would start him just yet, but you could make a case for him especially in larger leagues

I love Cam but Ryan plays the Steelers and right now there might not be a better matchup for a QB

Rice Eater · Oct 2, 2018

Hey guys my team lacks strength at RB. I've been stuck starting Dion Lewis and Isiah Crowell since the beginning of the season. It's a PPR league so Lewis has been decent for me while Crowell is TD dependent and fortunately he had 2 games with 2 TD's each while doing very little in the other two games. I'm also getting Mark Ingram but Kamara has been amazing in his absence so I'm not sure how that will go.

With all that said, Fournette is injured and Yeldon is available on waivers. In my league we're using FAAB to determine who gets free agents. It's early in the year and everybody still has plenty of cash. Should I go for a high bid to try and acquire Yeldon even though Fournette may not be gone that long? I'm kind of desperate for depth and nobody ever wants to trade away their star RB's unless you overpay so I see Yeldon as my next best shot at securing what might be a solid RB2 for the rest of the season.

30-35% is as far as I would go

VoxPop · Oct 3, 2018

I just got Fournette for Chris Thompson. Risky trade but I like the upside. Currently 4-0 going against last place this week so I can take it easy for 1-2 weeks.

+ Chargers & Bears DEF

PillarEN · Oct 3, 2018

Aww yisss. Ronald Jones is mine. Let's hope he takes over the Bucs backfield after the bye week.

Edit: he wasn't even on waivers to begin with. Immediately an FA lol. Made that way more dramatic for myself.

Blitzrules240 · Oct 3, 2018

Woo! I won the Keke Coutee bid with $25!

TheSkullPrince · Oct 3, 2018

Should I bench Mahomes and Kelce in favor of Bortles and Kittle?

Jaguars' Def has me shook

You don't bench Mahomes. You ride this wave out.

I want to believe. But I'm starting Cam against the Giants.

Wish I had those kind of problems lol. I'm starting Rivers against the Raiders.

Servbot24 · Oct 3, 2018

Debating between Bortles and Luck. I'll probably have to go with Luck, even though that KC defense is very appetizing.

Blitzrules240 · Oct 3, 2018

Speaking of Kansas City, this one is gonna drive me crazy.

Amari Cooper against the Chargers
Dede Westbrook against the Chiefs

Kinda wish I hadn't traded for Amari Cooper, he's gonna give me headaches lol.

Leaning Westbrook on matchup.

JJH · Oct 3, 2018

I'd be more inclined to bench Jags DEF tbh than Mahomes.

FloydtheFathead · Oct 3, 2018

Got Hynes and Tarik Cohen off the waiver wire this week.

I traded Aaron Jones and D-Jax for Rudolph. (Overpaid, I know. But Dissly was my only TE and it was either overpay or be forced to start ASJ. My RBs are Hunt and Kamara still so I'm okay with that).

APZonerunner · Oct 3, 2018

Debating on a low end flex between Sterling Shepard and Javorious Allen - Shepard has the form coming off last week, but I think the Giants could run aground at Carolina, whereas theoretically Baltimore should have an easier time with the Browns. Allen also has the better average points per game, even though he had a middling week last week.

Also very much torn on if I should start Cousins or Dalton this week for QB. Any thoughts, Era?

Lol I got a trade offer specifically so the Cooper owner in my league wouldn't have to deal with him. It was a bad trade so I didn't take it, but I understand your pain.

I would also probably go Westbrook. The matchup is great for him.

Scar · Oct 3, 2018

Picked up the Ravens defense.

Are they better option moving forward then the texans?

Any reason to hold out hope the texans d gets better or just drop them? I'm thinking just drop them.

TheeFanatic · Oct 3, 2018

FloydtheFathead , Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers?
Hehehe

PillarEN · Oct 3, 2018

I drafted the Ravens D. They are healthy enough as far as I know. Should be good at creating turnovers. I have no plans of dropping them until potentially their bye week if they seem to be only average by then.

I literally just made this same move. I think the Ravens are for real, but I also think the Texans will improve. They definitely have no excuse to not have a great pass rush.

BurtonGuster · Oct 3, 2018

My bench is currently: DJ Moore, Marvin Jones, Chris Godwin, Evan Ingram, Austin Ekler, Royce Freeman (possibly Crowell when i decide which to start).

Dede Westbrook and Taywan Taylor are available to scoop on waivers but im not sure who to drop and which one to pick up. Only choice seems to be DJ Moore but I have this feeling he'll blow up the week I drop him. Thoughts?

Violence Jack · Oct 3, 2018

I swear that if I meet whoever picked up CJ Uzomah just to fuck me over because I needed a replacement for Eifert, I'm giving them a swift kick in the ass. I was left with slim pickings, and had to pick up the Broncos tight end.

Ok, so maybe not physical violence, but they'd get some intense finger wagging from me.

Picking up free agents for the sole purpose of screwing over others is one of the delights of fantasy football :)

You got to be savage to win Fantasy.

Human · Oct 3, 2018

I meant to ask here whether people thought Olsen or Brate was a better replacement for Eifert, who is my back up TE. I went with Olsen since my main TE is playing this week, but Brate might be better than who I have in my FLEX spot currently.

OJ is out for a while so Brate may get some passes thrown at.

He's definately a bust as far as ADP. He's still a starter though and you should try to package him and trade him (for pennies on the dollar) instead of outright dropping him though.

and waivers cleared this morning, thankfully I wasn't punished for dropping corey davis sunday morning. I'm probably set for ROS as far as WR goes hopefully

Debating dropping the Browns D and picking up the Panthers D. Am I overreacting to their 45-42 loss or is this defense done?

Deleted member 11626 · Oct 3, 2018

I'm having a lot of trouble trying to decide on what to do about defense this week. I have Chicago and I am absolutely not willing to give them up. They've scored double digits for me each week and I've needed every point in getting to 3-1 in my league. Currently my roster is:
QB: Carson Wentz

WR: Antonio Brown
TY Hilton
Alshon Jeffery
Julian Edelman
John Brown
Will Fuller

RB: Devonta Freeman
Dalvin Cook
Phillip Lindsay
Chris Thompson
Aaron Jones

TE: Kyle Rudolph

K: Mason Crosby

DEF: Chicago

Not sure if I should just accept the potential L or if I should drop somebody and scoop Carolina for the week. I also have Crosby to worry about in two weeks, but if Greg whatever his name is gets healthy by then, I plan on rostering him over Crosby.

Smurf · Oct 3, 2018

I would play the Panthers over the Browns this week.

yeah, no one is really dropable here.. But you'll have the same Problem with Wentz and Rudolph later, so maybe edelman or really push for a 2 for 1 trade

Venatio · Oct 3, 2018

Is it time to drop Hogan?

kris. · Oct 3, 2018

Am I crazy for trading Kerryon Johnson and Aaron Jones away for Josh Gordon? HEAR ME OUT. I have so many solid mid-low end RB2s and really needed to shore up some WR depth. How badly have I fucked up? I'm 4-0 and I'm nervous!!

grang · Oct 3, 2018

Coutee looked legit, even as a Will Fuller owner I think I'm gonna pick him up and drop Keelan Cole. I'm hanging onto Marquise Goodwin too, even though I know his season potential is basically shot :(

yes you are crazy. insane, even

Mudcrab · Oct 3, 2018

Kerryon Johnson / Alex Collins / Buck Allen

Which one do you play in PPR this week?

I mean it could work out, but for that you could have gotten a proven solid WR. Definitely got an upside guy though.

I don't think you shored up depth with Gordon tbh. Good luck figuring out which week to start him.

so crazy I didn't even read past the hear me out

kris. · Oct 3, 2018

Okay so many I fucked up a little. Oh well. Here's to hoping Gordon starts getting some looks in the next few weeks hahahaha kill me

I still have Thielen and Landry and Arob to use. Gordon'll probably get some starts during byes.

Yes, you are insane.

I drafted Gordon, probably too high, and have been holding on to hope that he would be good this year. I might have to drop him now that Edelman is back.

My TE situation continues to be ass. OJ Howard is hurt, so I have to dive on the waiver. Someone dropped Tre Burton so I scooped him up... but he's on a bye. So I picked up Benjamin Watson. It was between him, Ricky Seals-Jones, Njoku, and Uzomah.

Venatio · Oct 3, 2018

Someone dropped Burton just because Chicago is on a bye??? So dumb.

We have a winner for "worst trade of the 2018 thread" right here. It's going to be hard to get close to this.

Get this, he dropped him before Sundays game, so he was on waivers for his biggest statistical output of the season, lmao.
