We're back! And already segregated from NFL OT :lol

Ask away, before we all become too paranoid about our own line-ups...

BarryAllen · Oct 25, 2017

I think I can rally from being 2-5

My players finally got their shit together and lol everyone else had odell, olsen, johnson, etc. I got this

BarryAllen · Oct 25, 2017

I'm starting Watson as my QB I'm scared hes gonna do bad. My other option is big ben who is now garbage so I guess watson

RedNalgene · Oct 25, 2017

Hells yeah! Psyched to see this one up. I'm currently 4-3 and have a total boom or bust team. Rollercoaster every Sunday.

Looking to shore up my WRs - thoughts on Inman (now with Chi), Ginn, or Golloday?

Human · Oct 25, 2017

I think I'm going to take Jalen Richard over Smallwood. Smallwood might be a better long-term RB2 though, with Richard only being good for this week while Lynch is suspended. I could pick up Aaron Jones when the Packers come off their bye week.

If Aaron Jones is available on the waiver, you should pick him up right now!

Ginn: sure!!
Golladay: sure!
Inman: uh this is Mitch Trubisky, no thanks

mr_chun · Oct 25, 2017

I've got KC and Detroit for D/ST. After last week, I said I'd never play KC again, but looking at matchups... very conflicted.

Also Todd on bye, Dalvin was my RB2. RIP my RB points this week (non-PPR).

I would if my IDP situation wasn't so uncertain I needed to hold an extra on my bench (I have Sean Lee and Luke Kuechly). If they both clear I can drop my extra IDP (Joe Schobert).

EDIT: Kuechly and Lee seem ready to play this week so I made the switch.

galv · Oct 25, 2017

Picked up Bills D/ST over my bye week but Eagles D/ST was just dropped and is set to go into FA on the 28th. Worth picking Eagles with a waiver?

Lions have a tough match this week, but KC isn't the answer either...I'd probably go Lions tbh.

This one is really close, so I would look at the schedule going foward.. bills face the jets next week, so I would roll with them.

Deacon · Oct 25, 2017

Was waiting for this thread. I'm overloaded on QB's and not sure who best to drop/trade to shore up another spot. I've got Wentz, Wilson and Carr. I picked up Wentz off waivers when Carr went down but I wasn't ready to drop him then. I'm pretty sure I want to keep Wentz as he won me over after getting me a win Monday from a 34 pt deficit and he seems to be the most consistent QB I have at the moment. I can't decide on Wilson and Carr. Wilson seems to be all or nothing this year and Carr had a bad stretch and poor receiver play. I feel like Carr may be the best option with Cooper apparently getting over his inability to make a catch.

Drop Carr
1. Back injury
2. Super uneven play from Cooper/Crabster
3. Decent running game
4. Getting killed in division play

Wentz is QB2 this year, so yeah, you roll with him, but I'd take Wilson after that. The Seahawks are contending, but they have no run game, which means it's all up to Wilson to save the day. In bad matchups he's a questionmark, but he's really an amazing backup to have for Wentz.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. But Jets have been putting up points and I'm still not convinced that the Bills are actually a good team haha.

kris. · Oct 25, 2017

drafting Jacksonville's D was a stroke of bullshit luck. i can't believe how many points they've gotten me.

That's some sound reasoning there. Thanks!

I would go and check every team in your league, see if anyone needs a QB. Rodgers got injured, palmer just broke his arm, cutler is hurt.. Offer both players, see if that person is interested. Even if you trade for 50 cents on the dollar, its better to get an asset than to hold 3 QBS.. If you get no action and end up dropping one, i would drop Wilson. He is heating up, but the Raiders fantasy playoff (@CHIEFS/COWBOYS/@EAGLES) is too god to pass up.

I doubted the Bill too in the beginning of the season, but Sean McDermott has them playing hard.. Jets are putting up points, but they are still giving almost 10 posit per week to defenses..

I'm still kicking myself for dropping them. I did not realize they were legit until it was too late to pick them up off waivers.

I wouldn't say it's bullshit luck necessarily. They had one of the best defenses in the league on paper based on pure talent supplemented by one of the easiest schedules in the league. But that doesn't always translate into real-world dividends and I don't think anyone expected them to be quite THIS good. Yeah, they're easily a big reason why both my teams are 5-2. It's nice to not have to bother with streaming defenses every week for once. Hopefully nobody is foolish enough to drop them during their bye week.

<glances up>

Oh look, I have a friend. Hi me!

Bwooduhs · Oct 26, 2017

7-0 in my league so far, fully prepared for my team to choke in the final though .

hahaha, no way i drop them. but i did need a flyer for this week and picked up ATL's defense which may be a bad idea considering how sneaky good the Jets have been on offense.

Fubar · Oct 26, 2017

5-2 in one league, 3-4 in the other. Second league I have won 3 in a row, going for four.

Fun year so far, though injuries have really, really sucked

Dr_LawyerCop · Oct 26, 2017

6-1 but this week is rough for me on byes and I'm still reeling from Rodgers and ODB's injury. Flex is a dart throw this week. Luckily someone dropped Rivers so I have a competent option (my QBs are Goff and Hundley).

My flex options are Powell, Mack, or I could pick up a WR in FA like Maclin or Robbie Anderson. Leaning Powell but I don't feel good about it. It's a 0.5 PPR, 12 team league if anyone has any advice or pick ups I should look out for.

Violence Jack · Oct 26, 2017

We back!

After that performance against the Pats, I no longer trust Matt Ryan even going against the Jets. Problem is, my other QB is Carr who is at the Bills this week. Who to roll with?

I would go with Powell also.

6-1 means you can stash some players, I would look to see if players like Corey Davis, Sterling Shepard, Josh Doctson, Alfred Morris or Darren Mcfadden are on the waiver. Try to add some high upside players, for the second half of the season.

I would roll with Ryan, think he has a safer floor.

Do you like Morris or McFadden? Morris is available, and the Zeke owner has McFadden as the cuff. I can scoop him up and then use him as trade bait if it seems like he's going to get the starting job over Zeke.

New site, new thread. Gonna drop a link to my Trade Evaluator tool here: https://gutshot.github.io/fftrades/

Human · Oct 26, 2017

I'm surprised no one picked up Hunter Henry off the wire this morning after someone dropped him yesterday. If I didn't already have Ertz and Graham he would be a good pick up.

Is half PPR .5 points per reception?

Tom Nook · Oct 26, 2017

We're back!

Better stash: Corey Davis, JuJu, or Doctson
I'm leaning on Ju Ju. Bryant being demoted that leaves JuJu #2 WR behind AB.

gutshot · Oct 26, 2017

Human said:

Yes. For the purposes of the evaluator tool, it takes the average of the standard and PPR trade values.

Thanks. I wish the player list was more expansive, but it's still a helpful tool.

Yeah, I'm limited by what Dave Richard puts out. I did add a Replacement Level player option, so you can at least get some idea of the value of someone not on the list.

TBH I have no idea, I tried to add both in all the leagues I could. Some of the cowboys beat writers seems to think that, even though he is not playing, McFadden is the back to own..

Oh, really nice. Trade chart values were made by you too? Or you got it from somewhere else?

I would go with Corey Davis.. Only game he played he was target 10 times, no WR stepped up so far for the Titans and Delanie Walker is banged up.

I think I agree with them. He was getting the bulk of the carries before. Unless I hear otherwise I think I'm not going to bother stashing him. I already have Kamara, Mixon, Mccafferey, and Howard, so my RBs are stacked at the moment.

Human · Oct 26, 2017

Is Hunter Henry really that valuable? I've been trying to trade Brate this week. I could replace him with Henry.

They are from CBS Sports' Dave Richard. I know he's not one of the best rankers, but he is the only one that distills player tier rankings down to an easy-to-use value.

I believe it would be Morris. If Zeke gets suspended, Morris is the guy with Smith behind him.

Human said:

While I dont think so, TE is such a wasteland that you might have to overpay to get one of the top ones.. I would rather have Henry than Brate..

Oh, I see. I don't agree much with him, but I always end up checking his charts before making a trade, just to make sure I'm not doing something really stupid, lol

NateDrake · Oct 26, 2017

Dropped Trevor S. today for Dalton. Indy is terrible and I hope Dalton will have a decent enough game against them. Trevor S. was terrible last week and I see no reason why he would do well against KC this week.

itspapagreg · Oct 26, 2017

What a disappointment Martavis Bryant has been.

Expected big things out of him this season but he'll prob be sitting on the bench incase one of my guys gets injured.

Deleted member 2145 · Oct 26, 2017

I dropped martavis already, there are better things to waste a roster spot on. tons of upside WRs or one week streamers, RB handcuffs, getting a bye week TE stream or QB stream ahead of time, etc.

natjjohn · Oct 26, 2017

Ravens D against Miami.
Texans D against Seattle?

Deleted member 2145 · Oct 26, 2017

rollin with ajayi and landry tonight, wish me luck

Tom Nook · Oct 26, 2017

I can see Ajayi have a good game tonight.

Smurf · Oct 26, 2017

Starting Alex Collins(out of necessity) tonight, maybe he gets into the end zone for the first time? Or catach a ball?

captmcblack · Oct 26, 2017

Looking to swing a deal in a 12-man keeper league, standard scoring.

He wants to trade his Dez Bryant and Carlos Hyde for my Corey Davis and AP. My other WRs are TY, Amari Cooper and a cast of millions (just dropped John Brown). My other RBs are Fournette/Doug Martin/Rob Kelley. I can't keep anything I get in trade, but he can keep Davis who might go off (and would be a great piece for next year). Good trade for this year, or nah?
