Do I trust the Texans after the Seahawks walked all over them? I have the Saints and Steelers, the latter being on Bye.

Who should I start? Wentz or Wilson? I'm leaning towards Wilson because Wentz is facing a really good Broncos D. Who should I start between Kenny Stills and Cooper Kupp?

Zeke being suspended makes me feel like Dez Bryant is gonna suffer too, which sucks because I just traded for him.

But Jimmy G to Niners might boost Hyde, so maybe it balances out...

I'm excited for Jimmy G to the Niners but we still need an O-line. I predicted Jimmy will play week 12 at SEA just to test the waters then have CJ be the QB ROS.

At end of the season, Niners have one of top 3 picks in the draft and then trade down for additional picks for OTs and Gs.

With the cap money, WRs and DBs at FA.

As for Hyde, I'm playing him vs good matchups.

Taco Bell League. 4-4, still on the run to win division.

My problem is that I'm the number one team in our leauge, but I am desperate for roster spots. I actually got in a fight with our commish 2 weeks ago when I decided to not roster a kicker intentionally (I had great matchups and was going against a bad team, and had bye weeks), and we have a rule that your membership is up for evaluation any week you don't start a legal team. I really want to add a 2nd QB and some more WR, and Zeke's Week 16 matchup is horrific (Seattle)

I know the feeling. I have Zeke in a league I'm basically a lock for the playoffs, and while I could use the roster spot, I'm not droping him in fear that someone will pick him up, and play him against me in the playoffs..

Do I trust the Texans after the Seahawks walked all over them? I have the Saints and Steelers, the latter being on Bye.
The only time I played the Texans this year was against the Browns and they won me the week. So i'll be trying to play them everywhere I can this week.

Are you rostering 3 defenses? There has to be better ways to use your bench spots.
Houston isn't a great defense- they had 2 monster fantasy games against 2 terrible offenses (Tenn and Cle), and have already allowed 35 or points 3 times this year. You can probably start them vs Indy with no fear this week, but they are heavily matchup dependent.

Who should I start? Wentz or Wilson? I'm leaning towards Wilson because Wentz is facing a really good Broncos D. Who should I start between Kenny Stills and Cooper Kupp?

I'd start Wilson, but both have rough matchups this week. If Brock is starting for the Broncos, I could easily see Wentz sitting for a good portion of the 4th quarter in a blowout cause the Eagles D is really good

No, I just have the Steelers and Saints. I'm still not completely sold on the Saints D. Steelers I plan on holding.

Yeah, If he's sitting this week and coming back Week 15, I'm keeping him. If it's Week 16, I'm not worried about having him played against me- it's the Super Bowl, and the odds that the person who ends up winning him in the FABB bidding also makes the Superbowl is miniscule.

Got offered Dez and Buck Allen for Aaron Jones and Alex Collins. Seems like a good deal but I don't know, not feeling Dez this season..

I wouldn't take it. Jones and Collins (the latter to a lesser extent) are in good situations to get points. Bryant has been okay and Allen relies more on points from receptions than Collins who is tied to a hurt and mediocre QB. Biggest downside to Collins is he hasn't manage to run into the endzone this season, but Allen only has two rushing and receiving TDs anyway.

I don't know if I make that trade. I think it's fair price, but your WR core is not very strong either. Also, I think I would rather have JuJu than Marvin Jones.



Do you have an IR that you can put suspended players on? If not, I would try to trade him to best teams in the league, see if anyone bites.. Maybe a package deal? But I only would do that if you are in the playoff hunt.

Ended up trading for Mariota. Cost me Powell plus filler (Rivers who I would drop anyways and Tyler Kroft who I streamed last week while Engram was on a bye.

Powell was my RB4 and I'm not sure if I would have felt comfortable starting him. So my Flex spot is a little weaker now but I still have a couple WR and RB flyers I feel good with and have 2 roster spots to play with. Feeling better about the playoffs now.

Hoping I can switch Brate for Carr this week to the guy in my league who has Reed and Miller for tight ends. It would only be temporary since his other QB Wentz is on Bye next week and I just need Carr for this week only. Might not hear back from him in time for McCown's game though since he just got married and could be on his honeymoon.

How do you guys feel about Denver DST? They have the Jets the week Jax is against Seattle, but Jax have been studs so I'm not sure if I should even consider not playing them then.

Jax are prob the better option right now, but denver has a nice schedule after the next two weeks.

Denver plays Philly on the road this week, not the Jets.....

I know they have Philly. I'm talking down the line as a tandem. The first week of playoffs, Jax has Seattle while Denver had the Jets. My main issue is Denver just hasn't looked good while Jax looks like they could stop anyone including Seattle and Houston.

Powell in a standard league, Allen is a PPR league. I wouldn't feel great about either one, but I'd rather have Allen in a PPR league than Powell in a Standard league, if that makes any sense to you.

I got offered Powell for Tyrod. I already got Watson and could use some RB help, since I had Zeke. The best option on the waiver is Allen. Scoring is Standard.

Brock Osweiler is named Starter vs Eagles in week 9. This is going to be fun.

Start Eagles D.

Unfortunately, this is a real question. Dalton vs the Jags or Osweiler vs the Eagles?

Can't go wrong with either one.

I'm putting JAG in. Come Sunday, I'm dropping Eagles D (so no one can pick them up to start plus they have a bye next week) and pick up a flyer WR like Corey Davis.

What do you guys think about a Wilson for Hunt trade? I already have Watson so I really don't need Wilson but I desperately need another RB as Blount is my RB2. The guy I'm trading currently has Carr starting. I might be willing to put Watson in there instead of Wilson.

What should I expect from Kelvin Benjamin this week? Worth the risk with such a short amount of time with the team?

My other options are Sterling Shepard or Davante Adams

If could go after two guys right now, would you choose:

Morris and McFadden

OR

Woodhead and Olsen

Zeke owner but can field a solid team without Morris/McFadden

Also are folks still holdin on to David Johnson? I have been but looking more unlikely he'll play, but that championship upside if he does is making it hard for me to drop.

Don't know what to do this week:

Joe Mixon
Orleans Darkwa
Alex Collins
Jordy Nelson
Kelvin Benjamin
Sterling Shepard

Need a RB and WR from this group. I'm inclined to say Mixon and Nelson.

100% would not trust the Seahawks coach on this. Lacy is a desperation play. The Seahawks are desperate for some kind of run to balance out the pass, but Lacy's leash is so short they could switch to one of their cast of thousands at any time.

And with that I'm starting Dede Westbrook (JAC) this week...oh boy...

Nobody should trust the Seahawks coach by starting Lacy in their lineups.
They SHOULD most definitely hedge on the possibility that he's making a legit commitment to a running game by stashing Lacy on their bench.
