Why would you trust them in the first place lol. They haven't had a running game in years. Also West was the best late round draft pick I drafted.
I isn't trust "them", but I trusted Vereen. Just seems like they didn't need him but I'll have to check out the game later.
At least my Bills are 2-0!
the Pats have never liked a run game, they just ride Brady till he dies.

Up by 5 and my opponent has Zach Ertz to play tomorrow. Not feeling warm and fuzzy about my chances.

On the bright side, it looks like Brady is on the cusp of death.
There may well be hope for Jets, Dolphins and Bills fans in the near future.

I'm starting to think I should make Andrew Hawkins a permanent part of my lineup. The candidates for him to replace are Fred Jackson at the flex and Michael Floyd at WR2. Would you guys make either of those moves?

Should I stick with this lineup this weekend (I know Greg Hardy isn't playing today now)
Damn man, I just want to say I'm sorry. That's some bad luck.
I really can't believe people bought into Allen Hurns. He played about five minutes of good football and the jags are still terrible.Should I stick with this lineup this weekend (I know Greg Hardy isn't playing today now)

I'm down by 8 with Maclin going tonight, opponent has the Philly TE.
Ugh. Was doing fine until Cutler had a TD-gasm.
Yeah....I should've swapped him for Bush.

Sorry about that.
Sorry about that too.

My bad advice aside, I just need 16 points from T.Y. Hilton in order to win in all of my leagues, which is possible but certainly isn't guaranteed. Colston gave me nothing in the league I care about the most, luckily the rest of my team showed up. What I get for trusting the Saints on the road.

Glad I traded RG3 away last week for Jake Locker as a backup QB. No take backsies!
Gonna start calling you Matthew Berry.
I'm rooting for T.Y. right along with you. He and Luck could save my fanduel week.
Looking to possibly buy low on Lacy.
Lacy and Floyd
for
Ellington and Harry Douglas
Now put yourself in his mindset. It's a PPR league, Ellington has been solid with and without Palmer. Douglas is not great but fine. You're 0-2 and your team is pretty terrible. Do you do that trade? Keep in mind this is my buy low option. I could go as high as Brandin Cooks or Kendall Wright instead of Douglass but I'm trying to get away with something here. Plus I'm taking a gamble on Lacy.
I'd end up with Ball, Lacy, Jennings and Ingram (inj) as my RBs. What say you GAF?
Assuming your getting the Lacy side, this isn't about if you are accepting, but how fast you are accepting. That is a no-brainier I would almost veto due to collusion.

AP was reinstated about 5 hours ago, so he should play thi....
....oh, another report of child abuse. I seriously don't know what to expect from him this year.

I haven't even offered it yet. Skill kind of iffy on Lacy tbh.

I'd veto a lacy/floyd for ellington and douglas deal very quickly...assuming we're talking about micheal floyd and not malcom..if it's malcom, it's still uneven, but not as bad. Lacy is not a gamble..
I don't know. I certainly believe in his talent but his injury risks are up there. Floyd didn't fare well without Palmer and they're still not sure he's back next week. Right now, it's a risky play imo.
I doubt he'd go for Douglas so I'm probably giving up Cooks or K. Wright.

Working on a dynasty league trade
I have Gio Bernard
He's willing to give up Luck and Keenan Allen for Gio...I want Julio Jones and Luck to do the deal but he's not budging at this time...
Here's my team (we keep 7 players a year)
-Brees
-Gio, Ellington, Mathews, Bradshaw
-Micheal Floyd, Patterson, Desean Jackson
-Julius Thomas
Bench guys...no one special.
I only want Luck because Brees is old and in the league good QBs make awesome trade bait for a #1 RB or WR, but that's not my plan at this time..I don't have depth at RB so I'm not keen on getting Keenan..I feel Jones could consistently produce so I wouldn't care as much..
Do I do it? I'm leaning towards no, as I can't work with only 1 RB...We use 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, and 1 Flex.

IMO, unless you're in absolute need at RB, don't bother with Mcfadden or any Carolina RB...maybe on a bye week..Knile Davis will be the hot add this week at RB, yeah, he's "worth it", but he's really more a rental than anything.
I'd get kniles as a stash to trade to the Jamaal Charles owner. It's unlikely youre getting him unless you're high on the waiver wire though.
As long as Drew Stanton is playing, I'd put in Hawkins for Floyd.
I'd personally keep Wilson.
A lot of decent options available on the waiver wire this week.

I'm getting a trade offer of Montee Ball + Dennis Pitta for Julius Thomas + DeAngelo Williams (I have JT + DW). I have Jamaal Charles and Doug Martin so my RB situation is bad right now. My backup RBs are Rashad Jennings (whom I've been using in my Flex spot), Toby Gerhart and DeAngelo Williams. I'm trying to see if Montee Ball can make up that Julius Thomas difference. I'm leaning towards no regarding the trade but figured I'd ask here. There might be some on Free Agency I think that can make up the RB losses but most likely only from a handcuff situation.
Better days ahead for Ball but he's definitely been solid thus far (I have him in three leagues). Pitta is a solid TE but after last week, we kind of learned that he's not "the guy" on that team as far as TEs go which makes me nervous. I'd do the trade but only because you're hurting with your RB situation.
Julius Thomas literally missed 2 entire seasons prior to last year due to injuries, and missed 2 weeks last season with injuries.
He has played in 17 of 50 possible games in his career.
Factor that into your decision.
He'd be giving up JT though? Unless I'm not reading this correctly.
Yeah, which is why i'm saying he should be doing this without much thought.

I have #1 priority waiver wire and need advice on who to put at top priority. My roster for the PPR league:
WR: AJ Green, Keenan Allen, Vincent Jackson, Kelvin Benjamin, Terrance Williams
RB: Arian Foster, Ben Tate, CJ Spiller, Knowshon Moreno, Pierre Thomas, Ryan Mathews
Bolded are guys who are going to miss time. I'm getting boned right now by injuries.
So I have two claims right now.
1. Dropping Moreno to pick up Knile Davis
2. Dropping Williams to pick up Michael Floyd
They'd both be upgrades and I'm certain to get one of them based on my waiver position. Which do I put first? Who would be a better upgrade for my team?
I lean toward Davis/RB because of all my injuries. Three of my six are going to miss extensive time. Foster always has injury concerns. Spiller is a question mark, and Thomas has his ups and downs.
WR would be good though because I'm already going to lose out on Green for a few weeks, and Jackson is very up and down with Tampa Bay, and Allen and Benjamin really aren't good enough to carry my core for that long.
There are two WR slots, two RB slots, and one flex spot on the roster.

Waiver 1 coming up for this week. Looking to replace T. Richardson with K. Davis and hopefully fill in a WR and FLEX spot. 0-2 in my PPR league. Where the hell are all my TDs??!!!
Question for you folks is M. Sanu or Bobby Rainey for a FLEX postition?
Also, I lost by 3 pts in my standard scoring league. Damn MIA defense.
I kinda like Ertz there.

That's such a toss up. I mean looks at what Gates did to them... but Seattle may want to embarrass them again. There are too many emotions in that game to think logically.
Flip a coin but if trying to decide I'd lean towards Etrz.
They're both pretty injury dependent. I'd lean toward Rainey long term though.
Ah. I was thinking about it the other way where you were telling him why he shouldn't take JT. May bad.
I'd do that. Buying low on Ball, selling high on Thomas, and between Pitta and waiver wire you should be able to survive at TE easier than with your RBs.
Not buying any real injury concerns on Thomas, though. Same logic was applied to Stafford early in his career, and now he's played in 50 straight games.
I'd probably actually drop T. Williams first either way, and I agree Davis is probably the priority for you at this point. Surprised Floyd is even available though.
So I have Moreno and Torrey Smith burning a hole in my bench for week 3.
#5 on the waiver, but still think I've got a chance on Zac Stacey and Steve Smith, who are somehow on the waiver list..
Should I wait on Torrey Smith to make up for weeks 1 and 2 or just go ahead and drop him for Steve Smith?
Leaning towards prioritizing getting Zac Stacy.

I would wait on Torrey Smith. He was Flacco's favorite target for the past couple seasons. Sooner or later that connection will spark up again.
Edit: That being said, I feel higher on Steve Smith over Zac Stacy. Stacy smells like a bust.

Thanks for the advice fellas but unfortunately the guy pulled the trade right around the time of my post. I was going to pull the trigger but in the meantime I'm trying to grab Rainey from TB and Knile Davis from KC until both Charles and Martin get healthy.
I have Moreno on I/R slot, so I have an spot open on the bench. Probably pick up Steve Smith, then. It's only been 2 weeks, but you think Stacy isn't a good pickup?

You crazy.
Stacy (wtf, why is he even on waivers? Is this a 4 team PPR league?) should be owned. The Rams are bad right now but the fantasy season is longer than two games. And his last game (71yds+TD) sound good to me given all of the injuries everywhere else.
Only prioritize old man smith if you literally lost all of your WR options.

Lol, I have no idea why he was dropped. I'm in a 10 team PPR league. He was dropped week 2. Probably kneejerk reaction to first week performance. I don't have an amazing WR lineup. Have Jeremy Maclin and Andre Johnson as primary starters.
Had Torrey Smith and Justin Hunter sitting out. Thinking on it more, I really just want to drop Hunter.
