That's what I figured, really sucks to be 2nd highest scoring team playing highest scoring team, didn't play last year because that happened 4 times in first 7 weeks in 2014, I feel like its happening again.
We will see. I am hoping. He has a real need at QB with only Tyrod Taylor and RG3 who went on IR.
Brady is still 3 weeks away, even if he declines I think it is good opportunity for the both of us.
i personally wouldn't, but it's ultimately up to you. in the event that you do, i would drop johnson; the browns offense is absolute fucking garbage, whereas williams will have some degree of upside when romo comes back (especially if dez goes down for whatever reason)
absolutely not. delanie walker will probably be the #1 receiver for the titans (unless tajae sharp takes a step forward) and is one of the better tight ends available
drop indy as fast as is humanly possible. they have one of the worst defenses in the league at this point; i'm sure a better alternative is available. if you want additional help here, give us a list of the defenses available in your league
Streaming a weekly defense is probably for the best, Indy sucks on defense, but overall looking at matchups is far better than having a dedicated defense, so many people waste a mid round draft pick on either Seattle or Denver defense, hell I got the highest projected week 1 defense as a FA this morning(had Steelers), it is the most unreliable points ever and can either propel a lucky victory, or drag the rest of the team down, so yeah stream defenses

Easily. At the very least, give it one more week to see how he does

Someone is offering me Edelman for Jordan Matthews straight up. Would you take it?

If you are getting Edelman take it. Then again you aren't sure what Matthews will be doing every week. Eagles played the Browns this week wait till they play a real D. Edelman is a beast in PPR.

Yup, .5 PPR

Oh shit down by 50+ point. Gave up hope, but Antonio Brown and DeAngelo Williams put up mad numbers to give me the win.

I am always high on Edelman. Brady targets him a decent amount and he is always open. Matthews did look good yesterday though. It is only week 1 so do what you think is best.
Should I consider starting Tyler Lockett or Terrelle Pryor over John Brown next week?
I feel like that's my main weakness, since Brandin Cooks is my only legit WR. The other three have some upside but are all pretty risky.
I guess I also have Markus Wheaton, if he's ready to go next week.

Leave Brown. Pryor is still unsure especially with RG3 out. McCown loves his tight ends and Gordon comes back in a few weeks. Lockett is hit and miss. I don't trust Seahawks wideouts for anything besides Baldwin.

This Rams offense has been spectacularly inept. The defense isn't much better.

Somebody explain waivers to me? It seems like other people in my league are swapping players out for free but when i want a guy I have to bid for him?

Sup Todd Gurley, I really appreciated the 4.3 points that I got from you tonight.
So here is my story, I was up 6 with Gurley against my opponent who had Robert Quinn and Navarro Bowman, two defensive players. I figured even if they have a good night they're not going to outscore Gurley with 6 extra points. Quinn barely does anything but Bowman has a big night. And Gurley laid an egg and I lost by 5 points :|
It's just one game but it stings to start off this way.

Ended up not needing Brown at all with Gurley doing nothing lol. Even with screwing myself over with a trade I still ended up 3rd in points for the week (12 team league), so I'm feeling good.

200 pts on a 1 pt ppr. I don't know if I should feel good or feel like 1 is too much.

So my first ever week of fantasy football and of watching the NFL went pretty well. A lot of my players performed above what they were projected to, CJ Anderson in particular, and in my league of 12 I got the third highest score. Unfortunately my matchup for that week was against the guy who got the second highest score.
Something I'm now wondering about, should I have a backup QB on my bench? (as I said in a previous post I really don't have any knowledge about how this works). My QB, Eli Manning, has a bye week in week 8. If I do need another QB should I wait until week 8 to draft one or should I be trying to get someone now?

i would drop cousins for dalton
Keep barnridge his value is only going up with McCown now
Yes absolutely. Players that benefit from McCown immediately are duke Johnson(ppr), barnridge Coleman and Josh when he's back.
641yards and 6tds of barnridges total 1043yardd and 9tds came under McCown

Had Gurley in one league and was going against him in the other. Him doing so terrible won me both leagues, because I was up by 50 in my league with him and only winning by 7 in the league against him.
So thank you, Gurley and the LA Rams!
2-0 between the leagues is a great feeling.
Tried to propose trades (separately) for Dez Bryant and AP. Dez guy said no but then we've been texting about it since so hopefully I can get that working. Read something that Romo might be back sooner rather than later, which would obviously help Dez out. And Dak Prescott might have been bad in W1, but he'll likely improve going forward, or at least learn to throw it to Dez every once in a while. Can't imagine that he doesn't improve in week 2 and beyond.
AP, meanwhile, is just a beast. No way he gets held to ~30 yards every week going forward.
Heard a guy at work saying he had Watkins, Russell Wilson, and Gronk all in the same league. Sucks.
Need advice on WRs, need two out of this group:
And would dropping Bernard (CIN) for Abdullah on waivers be a good idea?

Should I trade away rus Wilson n j Charles for Aaron rodgers?
FUBAR McDangles

Receiving Rodgers for those two? Yeah you should.
take that trade and run
jordan matthews might be the number 1 option for philly and he might continue to produce like he did but there is no risk with what edelman's role will be in that offense and he will be able to produce more with gronk back and especially when tom comes back.
man, I'm gonna have to see what I can get for matthews
For sure. Only way you lose is if either of them get injured.
I actually don't like this trade. rodgers will be great on the season, no doubt, but you can always get QB production off waivers week to week (dudes like alex smith and matt ryan had a better week than rodgers and both were owned in less than 50% of espn leagues; ~25% for smith and ~40% for ryan) and I still like wilson a lot this season. likewise for charles. I feel like you're giving up top tier talent at multiple positions to get back a top tier talent at one position that's very volatile week to week. not to mention a healthy wilson could end up as a top 5 QB on the season. if you want to rid yourself of injury concern then maybe go for it but I feel like you're giving up too much for a position that's not as valuable.
After the waiver period has passed (generally, it's from the start of that players game until Wednesday morning), a player becomes a Free Agent, and can be picked up by anyone for free at any time. When a player is dropped by a team, they also go on waivers, usually for 24 hours if it's the middle of the week.
For example, if on Friday, you decided you wanted a new Defense, you could drop your Defense for one that plays on Sunday without needing to go through waivers, and the defense you drop would be put on Waivers through Saturday

Spencer Ware, if your league wasn't deep enough to add him...I think some people would also put Willie Snead on that list. But for not-owned monsters, I don't see anyone...
Both those guys are owned, in fact I lost because of fucking Spencer Ware
I guess I should just sit on the 1 WW

Agreed. It feels like a panic trade since Charles might miss more games and Wilson is dinged up and had a bad game. Honestly I wouldn't even trade Charles for Rodgers straight up, let alone throwing Wilson on top. You can find QB value on the wire. Even in the worst case scenario, streaming QBs and playing matchups isn't a bad option.
And on the point of running backs, legit RB1s are a bigger commodity. In the case of Charles, Andy Reid has shown time and again that he likes to run one feature guy. There have been times Charles was limited the last few years and it was the Knile Davis show. Last year it was West until he got hurt and then it was Ware. The top KC RB is a monster no matter who it is, meaning Charles has a ton of upside. Even if Charles doesn't come back until week 3 or 4, he could still end up a top 5 guy by the end of the year and help you in the playoffs. Unless you're banking on Charles losing out on the starting spot, hang on to him.
I feel your pain man. I went into Monday up about 15 points, with Gurley still to play for me, and Antonio Brown still to play for my opponent. Should have been a close win - Nope!

Talk about kicking a man while he's still down.
Before Monday's game, I'm down 28 pts, no one left, and my opponent still has D. Williams left.....
K Allen is out, need advice on WR. Who gets higher priority?
M Wallace
or
T Sharpe
Thanks.
Edit:
Also, give Prescott another chance or pick up M. Ryan? Have Brady on Bench unit week 5.

Won every league I was playing in this week except for the league where my RBs are Lacy and Matt Jones.
I really want to get a more potentially consistent RB2 option...the owner of Keenan Allen in my league has AP, TJ Yeldon and Jonathan Stewart in their rotation. Would Maclin/Decker/TY Hilton/Amari Cooper be a good/fair 1 to 1 trade for any of his RBs?

I wouldn't do any of those guys for Yeldon or Stewart. Maybe you could sell Maclin and Jones for AP?
