Do it. As good as Olsen is, it is an upgrade. Dez will come back and possibly get you ready for the playoffs. Though it is going to suck losing Freeman . Depends how good you are in positions in guessing

I'd probably go with Carr. These Seattle and San Fran games tend to be low scoring.

Would you trade Jordan Matthews and Benjamin Watson for Brandon Marshall?
My WRs right now are Matthews, Cooper, Edelman, Bryant and Garçon.
TE: Julius Thomas

That's pretty much a no-brainer trade. So yeah, if you've got someone hooked on giving up Marshall for Matthews & Watson, pull the trigger.

What about Giovanni Bernard for Cam Newton in PPR league? My only QB is Eli Manning.
RBs: Bernard, McCoy, Lacy, Ivory, Gordon (droppable?), and West.

Cam Newton (vs Phil) or Andrew Luck (vs NO)
I'm tempted to try Luck again since NO gives up some good yardage but Newton has been consistent in his points.
What do you think?

I really should have included Craepernick in QBs I'd start armless Manning over. I always leave someone out.
Hazelhurst

Yeah, I chose poorly.
I started Hyde tonight, so I feel some of your pain. It's a shame since he actually ran the ball pretty well - 40yds on 11 carries. I also had Seattle D starting. Those sacks gave me a nice points boost.

Damn, if I've seen your post (Carr or Kap) before the game. My advise would totally be against starting Kap.

Flacco vs. Ari
or
Landry Jones vs. KC
also, in the middle of a trade... would love thoughts...
me trading Amari Cooper(2nd round keeper)
for
Justin Forsett ( 13th round keeper) or Arian Foster (5th round keeper)
the guy wants a draft pick too, which im not too keen on... but because forsett and foster have great keeper value, I am willing to give a little... i've offered a 9th for an 11th.. he def wants mroe than that... i think the highest im willing to go is giving up an 8th (maaaybe 7th)...
12 team 1/2ppr keeper league
or
Landry Jones vs. KC

I wouldn't trade Freeman for anything.
Dude came out of nowhere and is now gonna be the #1 overall pick for most fantasy drafts across the board next year. He's that good.

Man, I hate the idea of starting Landry after one game, but the Chiefs are a team in turmoil, whereas the Ravens are dead in the water facing an angry team that loves to go for the pick six. I'd start Landry.
heckmanimation said:
On the face of it Foster and Forsett are both way more valuable than Cooper. So yeah you have to deal some picks. Forsett, while cheaper, probably goes for less because his job is not entirely stable. Foster is a RB1.
I'd imagine having to offer a 7th+Cooper for Foster, at least.
I want to say Tannehill. Stafford has a pretty tough matchup. But the Dolphins are unpredictable and Stafford learned the "go deep" offense last week. So it's a toss-up. I guess I would pick Tannehill but not feeling great either way.

He's performed for four games. After losing the job originally to a rookie in camp, and looking mostly average at best last year.
Maybe he's a stud now, but we can't be sure, and there's reason to doubt. He may still be a sell high candidate at this point. Crowning him #1 overall for 2016 is still crazy premature at this juncture.

Landry Jones or Alex Smith?

Thinking about switching Woodhead out for Travis Benjamin at flex. I've stayed with Woody all season expecting Benjamin to fizzle out but each week he keeps rocking the shit. On the other hand, Woody is playing against Oakland while Benjamin is against St. Louis. I don't know.

Which combination of players should I start? I'm planning on starting John Brown and LeSean McCoy for sure. So I have 1 spot each left for RB, WR, and Flex. Remaining players are
Jeremy Maclin
Martavis Bryant
Matt Jones
Joseph Randle
Maclin is coming off a concussion so his play might be limited or he may just be a decoy for the most part. Bryant is back for his 2nd game after a 4 game suspension. I know he had a huge week last week, on my bench. It's only a one game sample size though.
As for RB's, Christine Michael might cut into Randle's touches even if he remains the starter. Matt Jones is back from injury but what's entices me so much about starting him is because Chris Thompson is out so he'll be used as the 3rd down back. So he might have a pretty good receving day to add to whatever rushing yards and TD's he might have. Any thoughts on this?

I'm definitely starting Bryant. Yes it's a one game sample size but he showed he's the favorite of Jones, likely because he's tall and can go up and get a poorly thrown ball. I'm not leaving 25 pts on the bench.
I need to make a drop and pick up a QB since Big Ben doesn't looking like he's going to play. Problem is I'm trying to wait and see if Charcandrick West or Christine Michael turn into anything because I'm hurting at RB. Which one should I let go? My only other possible drop would be Martellus Bennet and roll with Delanie Walker who was supposed to just be my bye replacement.

Smith! No brainer, Maclin is hurt and in a garbage offence. Smith is a beast.

Cooper. Most talent and has had the best season of those guys so far.
Matthews will get targets and reps, but the drops and shitty QB situation are bad. No one would blame you for trying him in a Lineup, he will bounce back eventually IMO.

I was thinking cooper too but tough matchup.
Keiichi- tough decision, I think I would go Duke and Jennings. Melvin has upside this week if you wanna be ballsy though.
Thanks - dropped West for LaFell in her league hoping for some upside.
Have McManus in 2 leagues and am keeping him in both.
Right now I'm playing without a kicker in one league. Figure if it gets really close and I need a few points I can drop one of Marvin jones/Jennings/Gordon. Short bench since I had to pick up Hoyer to cover for Ben and Washinton to cover Denver.
Other league PPR 1 point
Pick 1 for flex:
Riddick, Blount, CJ1K, Diggs
I put Riddick in due to PPR and thinking he might be leading carrier this week for them. Watcha guys think?

Which QB should I pick for today as a bye week fill-in:
Alex Smith vs Pittsburgh
Landry Jones vs KC
Ryan Fitzpatrick vs Patriots
Right now I'm holding Smith but I could be persuaded to drop him for Jones or Fitzpatrick.

Anyone have the prescience to start the Jags D today? :lol

Well if you started Yeldon, well done. If your indecision has left you still needing to make a call I'll throw my two cents in the ring and say stay away from Blount. Yeah, he had a good week and they're the Pats but look at the numbers RBs have put up against that Jets D this season. It'd be hard to start him with confidence in my book. He'll be on my bench.
No but I did start the Buffalo D, FML.

According to Yahoo stats, only 3% of teams own them.
At least the Pick Sixes shouldn't count against the Buffalo D.
Tom Nook

Don't know whether to start Antonio Gates or Delanie Walker. Both are hurt, right?
I would go with Walker too, a sprained MCL is something you wait out for more than a week.
MrPink93485

Delanie Walker or Jason Witten?
I'd start Walker with confidence with Mariota playing, not sure how Mettenberger fits into this equation, not that Cassel throwing to Witten is a sure bet either.

Points allowed do, so sort of.

Maybe it's how Yahoo scored. Last week, Cleveland got 23 points against Denver. Only 17 of those points were factored into the final point total for Denver's D, as one TD was A Peyton pick-six.
Pick 2 running backs: Doug Martin, Justin Forsett, Mark Ingram
Pick 3 wide receivers: Mike Wallace, Jarvis Landry, Pierre Garcon, Reuben Randle
I'm really torn, all my RBs can be great. My WRs, Wallace only got only 2 points for me last week but Randle is injured and listed as questionable.
Also want to brag because in my other league someone dropped Carson Palmer to pick up McCown. I had Andy Dalton and Payton Manning both on bye week. Scooped him up despite being 11/12 on the waiver wire. I've dropped Manning now, as I figure between Dalton and Palmer I should be fine. Hope I don't regret dropping him, but I'd been starting Dalton anyway since he's been such a turd.
